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
When Penelope heard Caleb's voice, she flashed an indignant glance at him with a coquettish look on her face."Caleb, how could you be irresponsible after sleeping with me? Look, you caused all these marks on my body. They hurt so much."Penelope made herself look pitiful as she stared helplessly at Caleb.However, Ember suddenly stepped forward before Caleb could speak.Before Caleb came to his senses, she raised her arm and smacked Penelope across the face.The smack turned Penelope's face to one side."Penelope Ferguson, I don't mind slapping some sense into you if you're still muddle-headed."Ember's aloof voice was devoid of warmth. She had a stern look in her eyes and emanated an air of hostility.For a moment, Penelope saw Caleb in Ember."Keep your eyes peeled! The man in front of you is mine! Put away those dirty thoughts of yours and stop having thoughts for my man!"As Ember spoke, a cold aura suddenly emanated from her, making Penelope fearful.After Ember finish
On the way back to the hospital, Ember told Caleb about Jamie's current physical condition.When she brought up the matter, she kept frowning with a worried look on her serious face."Jamie managed to wake up this time, but she has congenital heart disease. We have to find a suitable heart if we want her to make a full recovery."It was not an easy task.Caleb looked grave with a firm gaze.He reached out and held Ember's hand."Don't worry, Jamie will be fine. I will get my men to find a suitable heart as soon as possible so that Jamie can undergo the surgery."Besides, Jamie has an excellent mother like you. If you can capture my heart, you will certainly be able to cure Jamie."His words of comfort made Ember feel better.She moved her petite body toward Caleb and leaned on his chest.-Jamie was awake by the time they both returned to the hospital.After Jamie woke up, she looked restless. Her eyes shimmered with tears when she didn't see Ember and Caleb.Lugh knew Jam
Jamie was mad at the fact that Lugh had silently taken her away back then, but his feelings for her were genuine over the years.She didn't want to separate from Lugh after she reunited with her parents.In Jamie's eyes, being separated from Lugh was as uncomfortable as not having her parents around.Lugh's heart melted instantly. He stretched out his little finger and hooked Jamie's."Okay, I promise. I will be with you always."Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door. Ember and Caleb walked into the ward.Lugh took the initiative to give up his seat next to the bed and spoke gently, "Jamie, look who's here?"Jamie looked in the direction of the sound and saw Caleb and Ember holding hands and walking toward her.Jamie suddenly looked embarrassed and hid her head under the blanket as soon as she saw them.Looking at Jamie, Ember chuckled helplessly and smiled dotingly with her eyes.Caleb strode forward and sat beside the hospital bed. He then placed his palm on Jami
Initially, Henry wanted to threaten Caleb with Jamie, but he didn't expect that he would rescue her in such a short time and foil his plan.He took advantage of the situation and lured Caleb to Begonia Hotel, hoping that his wife would catch him red-handed and divorce him.However, Henry didn't expect Caleb to resist Penelope with such strong willpower.Henry reached out and swept the wine glass off the table with a crash, leaving a mess on the carpet in an instant."Caleb Lane, fret not, I shall make you suffer!" he thought. "We have long days ahead of us. Just you wait!"Just then, a man walked into the villa.That man was Henry's most loyal subordinate. He was also a hacker who excelled in information investigation and network attacks.He walked up to Henry and lowered his head before he reported respectfully, "Mr. Brooks, I just found out that Caleb's mother-in-law is currently hospitalized. Maybe this is our best chance."The angry look on Henry's face slowly subsided afte
"Dr. Sanders, how is your search for the herb going? Time waits for no man, so we have to make haste.""I have sent people to ask around the person who has the herb," Ember replied, looking serious. "I believe there will be results soon."Stephen had a strange look on his face, as if he wanted to tell her something.Just then, a researcher came over and reported a problem to Ember."Dr. Sanders, you are here at the lab. I happen to have a question to ask you."Stephen bit his tongue and said with a light nod, "Dr. Sanders, you should go."The researcher called Ember away. After chatting for a while, the researcher had a strange look on his face.He came closer to Ember and whispered to her, "Dr. Sanders, I think Dr. Miller has been acting strange recently. He seems to be in a daze every day. Why don't you talk it over with Dr. Miller?”The researcher's words startled Ember for a moment with a serious look on her face. She then asked, "Since when is Dr. Miller in that state?"A
Ember noticed that something was not quite right about Wilson's current state. He might have a mood swing if she tried to stop his current research.Since Stephen already had enough manpower and didn't need Wilson's help, Ember nodded in agreement without further comments."Okay, Dr. Miller. Since you are so confident, you may continue the research."After a pause, she continued with a serious look on her face,"Dr. Miller, I have to remind you that you are my mother's attending physician apart from being a member of the lab. I hope you won't forget your job while doing research."Wilson's eyes were filled with sincerity as he nodded excitedly and said, "Dr. Sanders, don't worry, I will keep an eye on your mother's condition from time to time. The research on the specific drug is related to your mother's condition, so I won’t neglect either side.”Ember heaved a helpless sigh while looking at him. Finally, she suggested in a gentle voice, "Dr. Miller, I know you're very dedicated
"How about tonight? I will send you the other party's information by email after I meet Mr. Lane."Without a second thought, Ember nodded in agreement and replied, "Okay, no problem."Susan stood still, looking at Ember's back as she stalked away.Doubt arose in her heart as she thought, "Did Ember just agree readily to the deal?"In any case, she could have dinner with Caleb tonight. Caleb would become hers tonight.She would make Ember regret her decision when the time came.When Ember returned to the hospital, she saw Caleb accompanying Jamie.She felt a little guilty with an evasive gaze. After clearing her throat, she walked into the ward.After Jamie fell asleep, Ember tugged on Caleb's sleeve and whispered, "Caleb, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."Caleb raised his eyebrows. Smiling with his eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Why are you acting mysterious?"Ember took Caleb to a quiet place without the two children around.Only the
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
