Without hesitation, Caleb headed toward Ember's ward.He entered the ward and saw her lying on the hospital bed with her brows furrowed. He felt a pang of sadness racing through him.His fingertips tenderly rested on her forehead, smoothing down her furrowed brows."Don't worry. Jamie has returned. She’s fine. Since you're tired, rest well. When you wake up, you'll be able to see her."Caleb was with Ember at the hospital bed when his phone vibrated twice.He took it out and nonchalantly swept it, and his deep gaze was frigid."Caleb, time's up. You wouldn't dare to come to the Begonia Hotel, would you!"When Caleb saw the message sent by Henry, his grip on his phone tightened, and veins rippled at his wrist.He arose and looked at Ember, who was laying on the hospital bed, before walking away with big, quick strides.He arrived outside Jamie's operation theater and called Lugh to the side."I'll leave this place to you first. I have some things to take care of. I'll be right
"Caleb, we need to talk. I have so much to tell you."Caleb realized what Henry was planning when he saw Penelope.He smirked. "Oh, so this is the plan?"Penelope seemed to have inhaled a lot of fragrance. Her cheeks were flushed pink, her energy seemed drained out, and she was on the verge on pouncing onto Caleb.Caleb looked at her coldly in disgust. Then, he subconsciously stepped back.He covered her mouth and nose with one hand and strangled her with another.-Ember received a call not long after Caleb left the hospital.She opened her eyes sleepily and picked up the phone after seeing no one around in the ward.It was an unknown call.Ember guessed it was from the kidnapper who kidnapped Jamie.A deep voice talked when she answered the phone."Miss your daughter?"The kidnapper tried to tempt Ember.Alerted, Ember froze before asking immediately, "Who are you? Where's my daughter?"The man chuckled disdainfully and said faintly, "You don't have to know who I am. D
Avery grasped Ember's hand tightly and refused to let go."Mommy, where are you going? I'll get Daddy to go with you."Ember refused. "There's no time. Tell Daddy to follow the black car in the basement."Ember was worried and too panicky to think wisely.Avery was sure it was a trap.He exclaimed immediately, "Mommy, did someone call you just now? Can you show me the number? They must be lying because Jamie is in the operating room downstairs."Lugh forbade Avery to tell Ember about Jamie's illness as he did not want her to worry and blame herself.But Avery must stop Ember from falling into the trap.Hope washed over Ember as she stared at Avery."Avery, did you say you found Jamie?"Avery nodded heavily and explained, "Yeah, Daddy and I found her, but Jamie is unwell. She's still in the operating room."Ember stood up quickly, grabbed Avery's hand, and said anxiously, "Take me there."The two of them hurried to the operating room.Ember's eyes were all teared up when sh
Ember was stunned even until the doctor left.Her body became cold. She clenched her hands tightly. Her nails almost penetrated her flesh.Lugh walked up to her, put his hands on her shoulders, and patted her gently. "Ember, don't worry. Everything's going to be okay."He believed there must be a way to cure Jamie's congenital heart disease.-At Begonia Hotel, Penelope was strangled in the hotel room that had ambiguous lighting and a pungent smell."Caleb, let go of me… Let go…"Caleb strangled Penelope fiercely and stared at her coldly with a terrifying expression."Penelope, I've warned you before, but obviously, you're not listening. I don't care what you and Henry are up to, but you won't get away with this."Caleb's voice and gaze were cold.He disliked the smell in the room, so he applied greater force and ordered, "Open the door."The door was locked after he entered the room.Penelope was frightened, and her body shivered uncontrollably."I can't open it. It's mod
Caleb took the ornament, strode to the window, and hit the window with the ornament.Although he applied great force, the glass was unharmed.He tried several times again, but the glass was still as good as new.Caleb held the ornament with both hands and hit the window hard repeatedly.Finally, cracks appeared on the glass.The smashing sound of the window made a loud noise. He only has to wait for someone to complain and the hotel staff to check the room.Even if Henry bribed the hotel staff, someone might call the police.No one could stop him from leaving.Penelope had been exposed to the fragrance for a long time, and it started to take effect. She felt her body getting hotter.She squirmed around on the floor before taking off her skirt with one hand."It's so hot… It's too hot..."Penelope gradually surrendered to her lust.She seemed to have forgotten how scary Caleb was, seeing as she staggered and pounced on Caleb like a hungry wolf.Just like that, she wrapped h
Caleb was the one who saved Jamie when she was kidnapped by human traffickers. She felt secure in Caleb's arms.That was why Jamie wanted to see Caleb so eagerly.Ember was stunned and almost cried.She wondered if Jamie had accepted Caleb as her father.Jamie asked again weakly, "Where's Daddy? I want Daddy."Ember came to her senses and realized she had not seen Caleb since she woke up from sleep.She wondered where he went.Ember frowned and subconsciously looked at Lugh nervously with tearful eyes."Don't worry. Maybe your daddy has work to do."Lugh bent down slightly, placed his palm on Jamie's head, and said gently."Jamie, your daddy has work to do. He'll be right back. I'm here. Don't worry."Jamie was calmed and comforted by Lugh's gentleness.Luckily, Jamie was a child, so she was easily distracted.Jamie looked at Lugh with tearful eyes and whispered, "Okay."She was weak after the operation and fell into a deep sleep after a while.Caleb did not show up even
Ember narrowed her eyes upon hearing those words.To her surprise, a lot of things happened while she was unconscious.She returned to the ward and glanced at the fast asleep Jamie.Then, she turned to look at Lugh and said, "Lugh, please look after Jamie in my absence. I'll go find Caleb.""Okay, go ahead. Don't worry."As Ember turned around and left the ward, frostiness crept across her face.She took out her phone and dialed a number.She got straight to the point and said decisively, "Get three people and wait for me at Begonia Hotel."After giving the instruction, she was prepared to go to Begonia Hotel.Avery reached out and grabbed Ember's finger, raising his head with an innocent yet serious expression."Mommy, I want to go with you."Ember didn't know about Caleb's current situation. He couldn't be reached via phone calls, indicating a bad sign.Squatting down, she reached out to touch Avery's head and said gently, "Avery, stay in the hospital to look after your s
Out of the corner of his eye, Caleb inadvertently glanced at the bathroom. He swiftly pulled the thin blanket off the bed and wrapped Penelope up like a burrito.He harshly lifted Penelope who was wrapped in the blanket and threw her right into the bathtub.He then turned on the water and set it to the lowest temperature before pouring it directly on Penelope's face.Just then, there were rapid knocks on the door all of a sudden. Along with the knocks, he seemed to hear Ember's voice.Caleb was instantly frozen and his bloodshot eyes flashed. After seeing Penelope lying immobilized in the bathtub, he strode towards the door."Em, is that you?"Caleb disregarded his usual calm image and shouted towards the door at the top of his voice.Ember was banging on the door, trying to attract the attention of the occupants inside the room and confirm Caleb's presence.When she heard Caleb's familiar voice, her eyes sparkled as she replied with a raised voice, "It's me!"Before Ember cou
