Mia suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness emerging from within. She was clearly lying on the hospital bed, but she was still exhausted."I suddenly feel very tired." Mia frowned and felt drowsy. "Can I take a nap first?"Seeing this, Ember hurriedly assisted Mia to lie comfortably on the hospital bed and carefully tuck in the covers.Mia had already fallen asleep, her eyes already shut. The only sound was gentle breathing.Ember frowned, worried that Mia's body was a bit too weak.She looked at Avery and Jamie. "You two stay here and take care of Grandma. I need to go out for a bit."Then, Ember dragged Caleb out of the ward. "Don't you think Mom's body is too weak? She fell asleep while we were talking. I'm worried about her."Caleb nodded. "You're right.""I need to ask Dr. Miller what's wrong with Mom."Ember turned around and proceeded to Wilson's office before telling him what had just happened.Wilson entered the ward and gave Mia a thorough check-up.Then, he
"Ember, it really surprised me that your mom was able to wake up."Stephen gazed at Ember, continuing expressing his reservations."It's extremely surprising to see your mother regaining consciousness, what's with her condition and all. I'm really curious about her condition, so I'd like to visit her."Ember nodded gently. She had complete faith in Stephen.She had the same doubts as him.Ember just happened to be ready to see Mia in the hospital, so she brought Stephen with her.Mia had just awoke in the ward, and her complexion appeared to be a little better than it had been the day before.Ember was overjoyed and felt that her mother should rest more. Then, she introduced her to Stephen.Stephen gazed at Mia from the side, greeting her a few times and carefully observing her.Shortly after, the two walked out of the ward. Stephen still looked perplexed."Your mother looks like she's still looking good.""Indeed." Ember nodded."Yesterday, she was still weak. She slept mo
The rest of the modified medical record was exactly the same as the original one. The difference was that the problematic part had been removed, and the medicine he gave Mia was not recorded there.Wilson had modified the medical record long ago and printed it out when he knew Stephen was coming.As the physician in charge of Mia's case, he handled the patient himself, making him the only one with access to the medical record. Even the nurses did not realize the difference between the two medical records.Ember came with Stephen not long after Wilson printed the modified medical record.Ember stayed in the ward with Mia and let Stephen go alone as she thought Wilson would show him the medical record. However, Wilson refused to do so."Dr. Miller, you can trust Professor Stone."Ember pulled out the chair in front of Wilson's desk and sat down, "We didn't expect my mother would be awake now. I need reassurance from Professor Stone."Wilson smiled, "I'm sorry, but the medical reco
"I'm fine. I enjoy talking to my mom every day," Ember said softly.Caleb smiled helplessly. He patted her shoulder and said gently, "You'll have plenty of time to talk. Don't push yourself too hard."Ember responded to Caleb's words occasionally in his arms and fell asleep.Upon noticing Ember's sleeping face, Caleb placed her on the bed.He slowly lowered his head, kissed Ember's forehead gently, and turned off the lights.Ember did not sleep well that night.In her dream, she drove to the hospital to visit Mia as usual. She sat beside her bed and chatted with her.Mia was getting better. She sat on the bed and talked to Ember.Suddenly, they were surrounded by turbulent seawater. Ember was panicked and quickly ran toward Mia to save her.But she could not get closer to Mia no matter how hard she ran.She became anxious and shouted in fear, "Mom!"Unfortunately, she couldn't squeeze out her voice no matter how hard she tried.She watched the turbulent waves swallow Mia
"Caleb, I just had a bad nightmare. I'm so scared..."As Ember spoke, her tears fell incessantly.Caleb was distressed and hurriedly pulled Ember into his arms.He held Ember tightly as he gently patted her back to comfort her. "Em, it's not real. You're not alone. Can you tell me about the nightmare you had? "Ember's petite and frail body was secured in Caleb's embrace. She was calmed by his scent.She took a deep breath to suppress the panic in her heart and shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of the nightmare she just had.The nightmare was ridiculous, but it felt so real.Ember could not bear the pain of losing her mother.Ember's tears wetted Caleb's pajamas, but it did not bother him. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ember's eyes, slowly lowered his head, and kissed the corner of her eyes."It was just a dream."After crying for a while, Ember slowly raised her head, looked at Caleb with tearful eyes, and said while choking with sobs, "Caleb,
"Ms. Sanders? Is there anything I can do for you?"Hailey did not seem to realize how deeply she had slept.Ember stared at Hailey coldly, which made the latter shiver subconsciously. She quickly left the bed and asked cautiously, "Is there anything wrong, Ms. Sanders? Why are you looking at me like that?""Do you sleep like this every night?" Ember asked.Hailey was stunned and quickly explained, "Yeah, but I set an alarm and wake up every hour to check on Madam Mia."She took her cell phone and intended to show the alarm clock to Ember."Huh? It's 2 am already? I slept at 12 am, so I should've woke up at 2 am!"Hailey was stunned as the alarm had been turned off, but she had no memory of getting up.Ember and Caleb heard Hailey. Their expressions became terrifying, especially Ember's.She said coldly, "I'll settle your salary tomorrow. You're fired."Hailey looked confused."Why, Ms. Sanders? Did I do something wrong? It was an accident. I swear I got up every hour to chec
Caleb spoke up before Ember could reject Hailey's request. "Did you notice anything strange before you went to bed at 12 am? Did Mrs. Sanders ever wake up?"Hailey answered in detail."No. Madam Mia woke up during the day, but she fell asleep and never woke up at night. Dr. Miller checked on her before 12 am and said she's doing fine."Caleb nodded, slowly narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "I've heard enough from you."Caleb's words made Hailey anxious."You can stay, but I'll get another caregiver to work with you."Caleb did not think getting a new caregiver would change the situation. He was worried that the new caregiver might be as ignorant as the current one.If there were two caregivers, they could take turns taking care of Mia and supervise each other. Ember could fire Hailey then if the same thing happened again.Hailey breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily. "Thank you so much."Ember had calmed down after visiting Mia and returned to the manor with Caleb.O
"Fortunately, my mother woke up within three months."Ember had no objection to Caleb's proposal just now, so she nodded vigorously and replied, "Okay, I'll try to contact experts in this field and get them to check on my mother."They would get a clearer picture of Mia's condition if they got more experts to check on her.Caleb took Ember back to the manor and put her to sleep. He then quietly left the room.He walked to the balcony before he took out his phone and made a call."Go and investigate Dr. Miller again,” Caleb said in a deep voice, carrying a trace of coolness in the night.After receiving Caleb's order on the other end of the phone, Allen couldn't help but ask dubiously, "But Mr. Lane, we have investigated Dr. Miller before. There is nothing wrong with his resume."Caleb frowned as he replied, "Conduct a thorough investigation on him and get to the bottom of his history. Find out everything about this man ranging from his childhood to his adulthood."Ember had wok
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
