"I have brought the herbs we lack. We can continue our research."I only managed to obtain this batch of herbs. How long will it take for you guys to develop the specific drug?"They all were stunned by the news at first, but then they beamed with joy. “You really found the herbs, Dr. Sanders! It's perfect timing!""Yes, our research has just reached a bottleneck. Now that we have the herbs, we can develop the specific drug in as soon as three days!"-This research had been going on for a long time. Everyone was very excited when they finally made a breakthrough except for one person.Since Ember walked into the lab, Wilson continued his research without raising his head.He just chuckled at what Ember said.No one noticed Wilson in the corner, whereas he only cared about conducting his research.-Caleb, on the other hand, didn't remain idle. He had been investigating Henry since Ember went to the lab.Now that they had obtained the herbs, it was time to implement the ne
That location was a bit far away from where they were now. But if they reached there faster, they should be able to witness the moment when Henry and the drug dealer traded money for the goods.Henry and the other party conducted the transaction at an abandoned repair shop on the outskirts of the city. It used to be a prosperous place, but now, it was abandoned by time.Caleb and his men were on a stealth operation and didn't tell anyone about it.The more people knew about the operation, the more likely they would be exposed.Henry was discussing the price with a drug dealer in the abandoned repair shop.Through the binoculars, Caleb observed the situation in a building far away from them.On the other hand, the police quickly contacted the municipal drug task force after receiving Caleb's call. Then, they rushed to the address that Caleb had provided.Just then, they encountered a traffic jam and the entire road was full of vehicles.They contacted the nearest traffic police,
Just as they were about to leave, a loud noise came from the door of the repair shop."We're the police! Stop where you are!"The word "police" frightened everyone at the scene.Henry first took a few glances at the drug dealer across the room. but then he saw the same confusion in the eyes of the other party.Only then was he convinced that the people outside weren't the drug dealer's men.Henry turned his back to those people at the moment, so he didn't know they were Caleb's men. If he turned around, he would certainly recognize them."Everyone, squat down!"The "police" at the door roared loudly again.Henry squatted down cooperatively, but he kept fumbling around his waist. He quickly found a gun before he turned around and shot at the "police".As soon as he turned around, he saw those people weren't police officers. He suddenly felt annoyed as if he had been fooled.Henry shouted, "Damn it! These people are not the police! Capture all of them!"Just like Henry, the dr
If the police had arrived any later, their operation would have failed this time.Fortunately, they succeeded.-At the lab, Stephen had prepared all the materials and started researching the specific drug.Ember was a little worried about her mother's condition. Her biggest concern now was her mother.She went to Wilson almost every day to inquire about the condition, but every time Wilson told her firmly, "Don't worry, Ms. Sanders, your mother will certainly wake up."As Ember looked at her unconscious mother lying on the hospital bed, an indescribable emotion surged inside her.Ember sighed and hid the sadness in her eyes before looking at Wilson again."I will leave it to you then, Dr. Wilson. Please put more effort in this aspect.""Of course."Wilson nodded.Ember could probably feel it too. She knew that her mother might wake up.However, it was difficult to determine when a vegetative person would wake up. It was beyond reach for the current level of medicine, but sh
Henry looked at the signboard at the police station with hatred as he walked out."They want to lock me up just for a small crime? What a joke!" he spat and strode into the car that had arrived to fetch him up.Henry gave the police station a rude gesture before he left, especially when he saw the narcotics officers who had brought him back. He was practically rude to them.After sitting in the car, Henry dialed another phone number and said, "I want you to investigate into what happened that night."What transpired that day was quite bizarre. If there had not been someone behind the scenes permitting it, the final event could never have occurred to such a degree."Yes, sir," the person over the phone swiftly responded.The things that happened that night were not deliberately hidden, and it wasn't that difficult to investigate them.Within half an hour, Henry received all of the information.He briefly glanced at it and noticed the name of the person who started it all—Caleb L
Susan was going to say something when she noticed Ember had already emerged. She bit her lip and eventually decided to give up."What's wrong, Dr. Baker?" Ember inquired when she noticed Susan's unhappy expression.Susan snorted coldly. "Nothing."That was so random of Susan.Ember didn't pay her any heed and moved toward Caleb instead.When Caleb saw Ember, he smiled immediately."You finally came out. I've been waiting for you for a long time," Caleb said with a smile.Ember patted his head as if he had won a prize, saying, "Let's go home.""Okay."Caleb was very attentive and helped Ember open the car door. He seemed like a loyal butler serving the lady of the house.Susan was visibly angry. She was quite jealous.Not far away, inside a black Maybach, a hand was cupping a cigarette and tossing the ashes against the outside of the glass.There was a look of cynicism.When the owner of this hand saw Caleb's car driving away, he immediately drove over.Susan was initially
Henry pulled out a chair in front of the table and, with a gentlemanly demeanor, invited her to sit.If she sat down, it meant Susan was open to discussing partnership with him.Susan hesitated, but she sat down nonetheless."So? What's the cooperation to be?""I can create opportunities for you to spend time alone with Caleb for as long as you want. I can provide his location, as well as his address and phone number at any time."These words from Henry immediately won over Susan. It was an offer she couldn't refuse.But she wasn’t carried away just yet."So what do you think I need to do?""Put something inside the batch of specific drugs that the institute is currently working on."Henry did not hesitate to say such bold words.He had already cleared out this side when he arrived. There were only the two of them inside the entire shop.Susan was concerned that others may hear them, so she looked around the room. That was when she realized that there was no staff inside the
Nobody could stop Wilson's enthusiasm in research.After discovering that all of his colleagues had already left the institute, he felt that if he concentrated on the research, no one would bother him.Because, in typical circumstances, a group of individuals would gather together and debate how to do the research. They would collaborate to finish the appropriate experiments before any genuine research could be conducted.However, whenever Wilson shared his thoughts during his research, he was strongly criticized by his colleagues, who believed that his approaches were impractical.And, as someone who was highly interested in the medical side of things, Wilson was very unhappy when he was snubbed and rejected by his colleagues. However, he did not rest on his laurels.He once took advantage of other people's absences to do independent study at the institute.In fact, there were some minor accomplishments from his previous study. He made a small batch of specific drug, which had p
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
