After Ember heard those words, her body trembled involuntarily and her face sank.

Dispirited, she slowly drooped her hand holding the phone.

Caleb noticed something was wrong with Ember after she answered the phone.

He frowned with a worried look on his face as he asked, "Em, what's wrong? Did something happen with John?"

He didn't hear the entire conversation between Ember and Allen. He just heard it intermittently.

Ember's face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes at some point.

Without a look of disbelief, she replied tremblingly, "Caleb, someone bought the batch of herbs from John."

As soon as she said that, Caleb's usually calm and composed face looked surprised.

Someone bought the herbs?

To his knowledge, the batch of herbs were rare, but not everyone could use them.

Why did someone buy the batch of herbs at that juncture?

Ember looked a little dazed. As a thought crossed her mind, she grabbed Caleb's wrist and said excitedly, "Caleb, do you think Susan is behin

    "Mr. Lane, John's assistant, Murray Kellogs, has agreed to meet tomorrow morning, I've already sent the time and location to your phone."Caleb replied with a low voice, "Okay, I know."Before hanging up the phone, he said, "Help me investigate Henry's recent whereabouts, as well as the people Murray has recently met.""Okay Mr. Lane."Ember didn't sleep well all night because she was thinking about the batch of herbs.When she woke up the next day, she went to the hospital to see her mother."Mom, just wait a little longer. I'll soon be able to get that batch of herbs and make a specific drug, and you'll soon be able to wake up to see me."Ember sat at her mother's bedside and talked for a while till she felt better.She returned to the hospital room and paid Jamie a visit.Jamie was a lovely little angel. Ember had just entered the ward when Jamie spotted the tiredness on her face.Lifting her head and peering at her, Jamie asked gently, "Mommy, did you not rest well last n

    After the two cups of coffee were finished, a foreign man with a huge beard appeared in front of them.He asked in fluent Friss, "You two are Mr. and Mrs. Lane, right?"Hearing this voice, Caleb raised his head and gazed at the man.After recognizing him, Caleb slowly and leisurely stood up and extended his hand to the man."That's right. We are."The bearded man remained cordial. After shaking Caleb's hand, he nodded toward Ember again, apologizing to the two."I'm really sorry. There was some delay on the way here. I hope you two didn't wait for too long."Now that Ember finally met Murray, a little smile appeared on her face.She shook her head in response. "No worries."Knowing Ember was in a rush, Caleb didn't waste time making small talk with Murray. He got straight to the point.He spoke Ederlese fluently and without an odd accent."I'm sure my assistant, Allen, has already communicated with you about the purpose of our meeting with you today."Murray nodded signific

    When Ember heard these words, she was heartbroken. A chill rose from the soles of her feet.Just as she was ready to ask another question, Murray blurted out of nowhere, "Perhaps I can try and find some other way to contact them. But I can't guarantee if they're willing to meet you."Ember lifted her head immediately, hope shining in her eyes.Her fists tightened once more from excitement, and her gaze conveyed excitement and urgency. "Okay! As long as I can get in touch with the other party, I will definitely thank you properly!"Caleb sat next to Ember, his brow furrowed as he repeatedly scrutinized what Murray had just said.His gaze fell on Murray as he stared at him intently, as if he wanted to see through him."Mrs. Lane, you should know that the other party is very mysterious. It is not easy to get the other party's contact information, and the process may be very convoluted..."Murray looked conflicted.Although he didn't say it explicitly, Ember understood the meaning

    The RV door gently opened, and Murray stepped into the vehicle."What did those two ask you?"In the RV, a man sat with his index and middle fingers squeezing a cigarette, inhaled, and slowly expelled a circle of smoke.Murray's face appeared stiff as he faced the man. He coughed before speaking slowly, "They were both asking me about you. They wanted me to reveal your information to them."That woman opposite of me seems to want that batch of herbs very much. She's also promised to give me a large sum of money. Why don't you just sell that batch of herbs to them again at a high price?"When the man who was smoking heard his words, his deep eyes narrowed slightly. Gently blocking the ashes, he asked, "So you gave them my information?"Murray flinched and quickly shook his head. "No! Of course not!"I didn't say a single word more. Don't worry, since I took your money, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut."When Henry heard his comments, a look of delight crossed his face.He n

    "No, most of the people I've offended don't have the ability to purchase so many precious herbs in one go."But speaking of which, there is one person who doesn't want this research to continue."Caleb arched a brow when he heard Ember's remarks and looked up at her with curiosity.Ember spoke slowly and calmly, "It's my mother's attending physician, Dr. Miller.""Before Professor Stone came, there was a set of research programs in the institute, which had always been led by Dr. Miller. It's just that there had never been any progress in this set of research programs. After Professor Stone came, the previous program was stopped."Professor Stone came up with a new research program, and this research program was only missing this particular herb. Dr. Miller's previous research results were suddenly disregarded. He seemed a bit unable to accept it."Hearing Ember discuss the problem, Caleb softly shook his head. "Dr. Miller isn't this capable."Alright, don't think too much for no

    The other party's derision enraged Murray. He pounded the table violently, angrily removed the Rolex watch from his hand before throwing it to the other party."I still have this watch on me! Let's continue! I refuse to believe that I'll keep losing!"He wanted to win just one game.Murray was highly confident in his gambling abilities. He simply believed that the first few were unlucky.His poor luck would have run out in the first few rounds, and he would undoubtedly win this time.Since Murray wanted to bet, the few men across the table did not refuse. Soon, they started another round.Caleb went to the bar nearest to Murray and ordered a whiskey. He swirled his glass and kept an eye on him.Murray lost again in just a few moments.He had not won today from the start, which was why he was indignant and frustrated the whole time. He was unable to accept the situation.That was when Murray remembered Ember.That woman appeared to be eager to get the buyer's details. As long

    Murray looked at the man across from him. It was then he finally realized that something was wrong, and he had a very angry expression."You're trying to cheat and threaten me! I don't want to play today! Let me go right now!"However, none of the men took Murray's words seriously."I see that you were quite happy playing just now. Let's play two more games. When I've had my fun, I'll naturally let you go."You're in such a rush. Could it be that you believe you can't win? Didn’t you say so many times you’ll win? Who knows? You might win the next round."When Murray heard these words, he was quite tempted.But he wasn't irrational.If he lost again in the next round, he would end up losing everything under his name. All of his money was now on the line, and he was also in debt.He couldn’t gamble anymore.Murray recited the reason in his heart. The look on his face gradually became firm and unshakable.He once again tried to stand up. "I'm not gambling today. If you didn't ha

    His remarks instantly piqued the man across from him.Bert laughed out loud. "Fine. Since you dare propose such an offer to me, I will accompany you to the end."With a clatter, the blond guy shoved out all of the chips in front of him, arrogantly raising his brows and staring at Caleb with disgust."I've placed all of my chips, so where are yours?"Caleb's steely gaze swept a glance at the frightened Murray. He answered casually, "I don't need any chips. All I need is one move to win against you. If I win, that man will be mine. His gambling debt will be written off."Hearing his statements, the man across the table grimaced in obvious discontent.Just before he snapped, Caleb spoke again, calmly and deliberately, "If I lose, I'll triple the number of chips in front of you plus the gambling debt this man owes you."This was a risky trade.However, Bert was once again tempted.These chips in front of him were not in small quantities.Bert was a veteran of this casino. He freq

    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.

    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.

    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?
