The contract was prepared long ago.Since Caleb contacted Ember, he had already planned how to proceed. Ember reluctantly signed the contract.After the signing, Caleb wasted no time. He immediately called Allen to bring Avery over.In fact, Avery had already returned, but he had been waiting at the door. Allen didn't let him in, but the boy had overheard their conversation.Upon entering, Avery glared fiercely at Caleb as if he wanted to rush forward and attack him.Not wanting to stay any longer with Caleb, Ember pulled Avery by his ear and moved to leave as she scolded him.Watching the mother and son leave, Caleb smiled knowingly and reminded, "Don't forget about our collaboration. I'll personally be dropping by."Ember paused, her expression becoming even more unpleasant. Without saying anything else, she walked away with Avery.After going downstairs and returning to the car, Avery lowered his head and apologized."Mommy, I'm sorry. I was wrong..."Ember gathered hersel
Ember knew Caleb had ulterior motives; he was actually waiting here for her.However, she had to discuss the collaboration with him. So, she took a deep breath and entered the meeting room where Caleb was waiting."It's really hard to get you here, huh? It took a few calls before you were willing to come.""Since it's about the collaboration, it would be the same regardless of who you spoke to. Ms. Donelle spends more time at the school than I do, so she understands how things work here better me."Caleb chuckled. "I've told you, haven't I? If Lane Group and Saint Lucia collaborate, you'll need to be fully involved. We've signed the contract."Ember pushed down her irritation. She didn't expect Caleb to be waiting for her here.However, there was nothing she could do but discuss the collaboration with him."I haven't properly seen Saint Lucia. Come with me for a tour, will you?" Caleb said as he stood up.Ember pursed her lips. She glanced at Donelle and signaled her to follow.
Caleb was upset. Lugh's presence would only disturb them, and he didn't want that.He arched a dashing brow and looked at Ember. "I said I would only talk to you."Saint Lucia Convent was Robin's passion and hard work, and Ember greatly cared about it. The shareholders were also watching closely. If this collaboration failed, who knew what trouble might arise?Although working with Caleb was a threat, the project with Lane Group was a perfect fit for the school.Lugh saw her hesitation and smiled softly."Ember, there's a tricky patient at the hospital. We need you to take a look.""Why didn't you say so earlier?"When it came to patients, Ember immediately became serious. There was a sense of responsibility on her small face."Mr. Lane, a patient's life can't wait. Let's discuss the collaboration later."After saying that, Ember followed Lugh into the car.Sitting in the back seat, Ember urgently asked, "What's the situation with the patient? Tell me."Lugh hummed in resp
On one side, the accusations were flying high.On the other, Caleb received a message and rushed over. As soon as he arrived, he saw Ember dressed in thin clothing and surrounded by the deceased little girl's angry family members.Ember remained silent in the face of everyone's accusation. She pursed her lips and stood rooted in place.Lugh stood in front of her, shielding her. Like her, they both silently endured the family's anger.Feeling a twinge in his heart, Caleb walked up quickly and said, "You came all the way here to cause a scene. It's just for money, isn't it? Speak up. How much do you want?""How dare you?! My daughter is dead, and you want to insult me?" The girl's father stared at Caleb with wide eyes, his emotions becoming increasingly unstable as time passed.Caleb dismissed the man's words and said, "Stop talking nonsense. It's all about money, isn't it?"He wanted to settle it with money, but the girl's father was uncontrollable. "Get lost! Can your mone
"Alright, I'll do as you say." Penelope and Samuel reached an agreement and immediately left the scene.She arranged for professional troublemakers to assist Samuel in causing a scene.On her phone, there was a video. In the video, Ember had her head lowered and was drinking a pack of grape glucose syrup.It was a small matter, but it could become an explosive topic in the hands of someone with ill intentions.She smirked slightly and dialed the paparazzo's number. "I've got some wonderful material for you."The paparazzo frowned, "What kind of material?""A returned overseas doctor from Haverhill Hospital caused someone's death and happily got herself a drink afterward. Where do you think she got the money for that drink?"The paparazzo initially wanted to dismiss it. But upon hearing her explanation, he suddenly understood and purchased the video.Then, the video was released. At first, it didn't cause much of a stir. But later, with the emotional posts from marketing
At this moment, Samuel arrived at the hospital with a group of people."Incompetent doctor! Get out here!" He shouted loudly downstairs, attracting a crowd of onlookers."Everyone, help me get justice! My daughter was perfectly fine when she was brought to the hospital. After the surgery, she died. Isn't this a medical accident?!"We ordinary people can't deal with them, and the hospital is helping them. Was my daughter's death in vain?!"Samuel's emotions were intense. He rallied the crowd and unfurled banners, insisting on seeing Ember.The commotion at the entrance was loud, and Lugh looked through the window with furrowed brows.Having heard the commotion, Ember was about to go downstairs when Lugh stopped her."He clearly has malicious intentions with how he's causing trouble here. Going down now will only fuel their arrogance. Ember.""Avoiding it isn't a solution either. It'll make us look guilty." Ember shook her head, a determined expression on her calm face."No need
Seizing the opportunity, the reporters crowded into the lobby."Dr. Ember, can you confirm that your surgery was truly done according to the standard procedures?""Dr. Ember, we heard that you were on leave that day. Why did you return to perform this surgery?""You just returned from outside that day. Was there a possibility that you made a mistake due to fatigue?"-The reporters were relentless, trying to find loopholes from various angles.Lugh felt uneasy hearing this and positioned himself in front of Ember. "If you continue to press aggressively, we will have to take legal measures!""Dr. Ember, please answer our questions!"Ignoring Lugh completely, the reporters sidestepped him. They thrust the microphone towards Ember and held their large cameras in her face, waiting for her response."Where's the security team? Get them out of here!"The situation was chaotic, and it took considerable effort for the security guards to push through the crowd.Ember frowned. The r
Ember casually glanced at the unfamiliar incoming call when the phone rang. She remembered this was another number Caleb used after she had blocked him, so she had no intention of answering.Lately, she had been bothered a lot and had no interest in discussing the collaboration with Caleb. Hearing her phone continuously ring, Lugh found it strange and asked, "Ember, why aren't you answering?""It's Caleb," Ember replied nonchalantly.As soon as she said that, the ringing stopped.However, the phone rang again shortly after. Noticing Ember's calm demeanor, Lugh suggested, "Ignoring the call isn't a solution. How about I answer and see what he wants?"Ember shrugged indifferently. "Sure, go ahead."As soon as the call connected, Caleb's voice came through, "Em, the public opinion can't be suppressed for the time being. Don't worry; I'll figure something out.""You're suppressing the comments?" Lugh narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised.Upon hearing Lugh's voice, there was
He was an arrogant man by nature. Now that he was upset, it was only natural for him to blame Caleb and Ember."Caleb, Ember, when I rise again, I will never spare you two!"Initially, these were words to himself, but he had not anticipated that they would be picked up by someone else."Fine, then we'll wait and see. However, you'd better think about how you're going to escape today."Henry looked around, surprised to see dozens of pairs of eyes.His voice trembled, and he attempted to reach into his coat for a weapon.He had just begun to move when he saw a corpse being thrown in his direction by Caleb's men."Do you think you still have a chance of escaping? No amount of weaponry will help."Henry was astonished when he peered down and saw his man."Are you going to come with us on your own accord today, or am I going to give you a straight up pain in the ass?"Henry's palm tightened into a fist, indicating that he did not want to choose either option."I don't want to go
"Alright, tell me who the mastermind is in exchange for sparing your mother. My patience is wearing thin."The nurse averted her gaze with a hesitant look on her face."I've already told you that no one ordered me behind the scenes. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do about it."Ember realized that she couldn't make the nurse give in with mere words, so she increased her bargaining chip.She opened up a picture on her phone and asked, "You are familiar with this thing, aren't you?"After taking a clear look at the picture, the nurse was a little confused about what Ember was going to do."I admit that I used this drug to kill your mother. You can take revenge on me however you want.""No, it seems that the mastermind didn't tell you the effect of this drug. This drug has been developed to cure vegetative patients. My mother gradually got better after taking it."The nurse's eyes brightened. She asked with a pleading look in her eyes,"Do you mean my mother can g
Jamie placed her hand gently on her heart."Will Valerie be with me forever?""Of course."After a great deal of persuasion, Jamie finally stopped crying. She even readily cooperated in the treatment and apologized to Ember."Mommy, I'm sorry. I was rude to you just now."Ember couldn't bear to blame Jamie upon noticing how sensible she was."Silly girl, you are my daughter. How could I possibly blame you?"Good girl, let's go see Valerie together when you get better.""Okay."After leaving Jamie in Carrie's care, Ember left with peace of mind. She had to attend to an important matter now.Caleb had already told Ember everything, she couldn't wait to meet her mother's murderer after learning that she had been captured.Caleb planned to leave the decision in her hands this time.When Ember saw the nurse who gave her many sleepless nights, she rushed forward and grabbed her collar."Who is the mastermind? Tell me!"The unwavering nurse stood by her initial statement."No o
The nurse gritted her teeth, unwilling to say anything.Caleb didn't expect to worm any information out of her, so he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to take her away.What mattered most to him now was to wait for Jamie.Not long after he arrived at the door to the operating room, he heard good news from the inside.The operation was successful. Next, they had to observe Jamie's condition.Jamie would be fine as long as her body didn't show any signs of rejecting the heart.Caleb felt heartbroken when he looked at the pale Jamie lying on the hospital bed.Fortunately, Jamie was finally getting better.Much to everyone's surprise, Jamie didn't make any noise after she woke up.She didn't say a word and just lay there like a rag doll.Distressed, Ember looked at her daughter and said, "Jamie, I will take you to see Valerie after your recovery, okay?"For the first time, Jamie's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. She raised her head and replied in a choked voice,
At the mention of the surveillance footage, the nurse hurriedly clapped her hands and said,"You're right. How could I forget the most important surveillance footage?"While speaking, she was about to turn around and go to the security room to check the surveillance footage, but Caleb stopped her."I'll go there. You should go to the operating room and see if you can be of any help."With that, he turned around and left.The nurse returned to the operating room for the time being and told Ember everything, reassuring her.Caleb led his subordinates to the security room and checked the surveillance footage.Shortly afterwards, his eyes darkened at the sight of a familiar figure.His subordinates soon exclaimed when they discovered that it was the very same nurse who had killed Mia in the hospital last time."We never found her. It turns out that she has fled back to Frissia."Caleb had run out of patience as his lips curled into a sneer."Catch her immediately! You have twenty
Jamie went out to pluck flowers for Valerie. There were many beautiful flowers in the back garden, so Jamie wanted to bring them to her in person.To her surprise, the hospital bed was empty when she returned to the ward.Jamie panicked and subconsciously ran in the direction of a nurse who was looking for her.She couldn't believe her ears when she heard the answer."I'm going to find Valerie. Miss, please get out of the way."The nurs,e who had been looking after the two children, knew that they were good friends.Witnessing the scene, the nurse felt helpless with a lump in her throat."Let's find Valerie later. Jamie, can you come with us now?"Jamie had vaguely guessed the answer, but still she stubbornly refused to give up."No way. I have to wait here for Valerie. She wants to see the flowers I've plucked."The nurse couldn't do anything about Jamie. When she was at her wit's end, Lugh appeared.He knelt down and spoke softly, "Be a good girl, Jamie. We are going to ex
Valerie's words touched Carrie. She packed their clothes and left with Caleb and Ember.Ember asked Valerie and got them a room next to Jamie's ward.Jamie looked awkward when she saw Valerie."Mommy, who is she?"Ember rubbed Jamie's head and answered gently."Jamie, her name is Valerie. She'll stay here for a while. Get along well with her, okay?"Jamie blinked, curious about the stranger in front of her."Hi, Valerie."Valerie had not talked to kids her age for a long time due to her health. She was attracted by Jamie's politeness."Hi, Jamie."Jamie and Valerie started talking. Children's friendship was simple. Ember got them many toys to play with.She tried to treat Valerie's illness but to no avail.The cancer cells had spread to the surrounding organs. The best Ember could do was decrease Valerie's suffering as much as she could.Valerie was very sensible. She gritted her teeth and endured the when it hurt.Jamie noticed that after having a similar experience.Sh
Ember and Caleb looked at each other when they heard Valerie. They could not imagine how difficult her life was that made her so mature.Carrie was comforted after a while, wiped away her tears, and spoke with choked sobs."It was my daughter's decision. I'm glad she could help your daughter."They did not act superior even though Ember and Caleb were receiving their favor.Carrie felt so distressed that she could hardly breathe when she thought of Valerie, who would die in a few months.Ember was moved. "We're here to express our gratitude. Please let us know if there's anything we could help."She wanted to make it up to them.Fortunately, they did not feel offended but refused to ask for compensation."We're not doing this to get anything in return. I only hope my organs can save lives. That's my only wish."Ember and Caleb felt so impressed. They wondered what they could do for Valerie.Suddenly, Duncan rushed in and said, "Don't mind if I do, then. You can have all my da
Then Carrie looked at Duncan again and cursed, "Duncan, I'll make sure you won't have any more children if you take the money. You'll be alone for the rest of your life."Duncan became furious when he heard that."Bitch! I've been too nice to you just now. I don't mind telling you what it takes to challenge me! You want to die with this trash, right? As you wish!"Someone grabbed his hand when he took a rope and moved toward them."Don't you dare!"Duncan was stunned and felt annoyed. "Stay away from my business! Everyone in this village knows who I am! Get lost!"As he spoke, he turned his head and saw two beautiful figures.In just an instant, he was deeply attracted by Ember's beauty and stunned.Caleb could not stand such a vulgar person, so he beat Duncan to the ground.Ember walked to Carrie and Valerie at that moment."Are you okay? Let me take you to the hospital."Valerie thanked her sweetly and helped Carrie get up, "It's alright. Thank you, miss."Carrie hurriedl
