Chapter 325

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.
