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
After the kiss, Ember grabbed Caleb's fingers with her soft hands and shook them lightly."My mother is running out of time, and the search for the herb is a pressing issue," she said coquettishly, "There's no time to lose, so I had no choice but to..."Ember knew that what she did was wrong. Noticing Caleb's silence, she looked helplessly at him with watery eyes as she continued, “What do you want me to do to make it up to you? I'll do anything as long as you are no longer mad at me."If Ember searched for the herb by herself, she should be able to find it in two days.However, Ember didn't want to delay the research for another two days.After they determined the person who had the herb, it would take some time to procure it. Moreover, the lab researchers had to extract the herb.Every step took time.How could Caleb get angry with Ember?He just felt helpless for a moment. He saw Ember pulling his arm and acting coquettishly with tears well up in her eyes, looking pitiful.
After taking a step back, Ember shook her head and refused Caleb.However, Caleb suddenly reached out and grasped her hand. "But I want you to go with me," Caleb said. "Trust me, I can get the other party's information from Susan even if you go there with me."Ember's eyes flashed with surprise as she asked, "Really?"Caleb placed his palm on Ember's head and stroked it dotingly, his dark eyes filled with affection."Of course. Don't you trust me?"Ember believed him without a doubt. She just blinked her crystal-clear eyes.Finally, Ember followed her heart and went to the live music restaurant with Caleb.She had to admit that the live music restaurant had a nice setting and great sense of ambiance.If it weren't for Susan's presence, Ember and Caleb could have enjoyed themselves on a date night.After getting out of the car, they both walked up to the restaurant entrance. However, Ember suddenly stopped in her tracks.She took a step back and distanced herself from Caleb
Caleb looked expressionless as he sat down opposite Susan. Before she could open her mouth, he asked, "Ms. Baker, I've kept the appointment. Can I have the businessman's information?"Caleb got straight to the point without nonsense.However, Susan couldn't stop smiling as soon as she saw him."I've already ordered the dishes, Mr. Lane. While you are here, let's enjoy the dishes before we talk about other issues."Actually, I didn't expect that Dr. Sanders would agree readily to the deal. I was just trying to test her, but she sold you out right away even though she knew that I have a crush on you."Susan spoke slowly with a sweet smile on her face.What she said sounded nothing wrong at first, but the truth was, she was sowing discord.She was implying that Ember didn't value Caleb at all and that she would betray him when the situation called for it.Caleb was smart. He had seen through Susan's intention at a glance.Caleb slowly squinted and gave Susan a dirty look as chill
Caleb didn't urge Susan. He reached out and casually tapped his slender fingers on the table with a timely reminder."You have one minute left."Thirty seconds left."Susan, sitting across the table, looked confident with a strategy in mind at first, but she gradually became nervous."Five seconds left."Susan's heart was in her mouth as she clenched her fists.At the last moment, she abruptly raised her head and said firmly, "Okay, I'll tell you, Mr. Lane."But you will keep your word, won't you?"It was true that Susan always had a yearning to pursue further studies in Glerany, but she had little opportunity to do so.Even if she had the opportunity, she didn't have the funds.Therefore, she had been delaying the pursuit of further studies.Caleb curled his lip in disdain and had a mocking look in his eyes as he replied coldly, "I never lie through my teeth. Of course I will keep my word."Susan slouched and heaved a long sigh. She looked dejected at that moment.For a m
