Seizing the opportunity, the reporters crowded into the lobby."Dr. Ember, can you confirm that your surgery was truly done according to the standard procedures?""Dr. Ember, we heard that you were on leave that day. Why did you return to perform this surgery?""You just returned from outside that day. Was there a possibility that you made a mistake due to fatigue?"-The reporters were relentless, trying to find loopholes from various angles.Lugh felt uneasy hearing this and positioned himself in front of Ember. "If you continue to press aggressively, we will have to take legal measures!""Dr. Ember, please answer our questions!"Ignoring Lugh completely, the reporters sidestepped him. They thrust the microphone towards Ember and held their large cameras in her face, waiting for her response."Where's the security team? Get them out of here!"The situation was chaotic, and it took considerable effort for the security guards to push through the crowd.Ember frowned. The r
Ember casually glanced at the unfamiliar incoming call when the phone rang. She remembered this was another number Caleb used after she had blocked him, so she had no intention of answering.Lately, she had been bothered a lot and had no interest in discussing the collaboration with Caleb. Hearing her phone continuously ring, Lugh found it strange and asked, "Ember, why aren't you answering?""It's Caleb," Ember replied nonchalantly.As soon as she said that, the ringing stopped.However, the phone rang again shortly after. Noticing Ember's calm demeanor, Lugh suggested, "Ignoring the call isn't a solution. How about I answer and see what he wants?"Ember shrugged indifferently. "Sure, go ahead."As soon as the call connected, Caleb's voice came through, "Em, the public opinion can't be suppressed for the time being. Don't worry; I'll figure something out.""You're suppressing the comments?" Lugh narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised.Upon hearing Lugh's voice, there was
Netizens quickly changed their tune, and soon, another comment climbed to the top of the trending list—The Most Beautiful Doctor, Ember Sanders.With the matter finally resolved, Lugh's expression softened. He pointed at the comment and said with a playful tone, "Ember, you've been voted the most beautiful doctor. Avery will surely give you a big reward when you go home tonight."Ember glanced at him and said, "You're always thinking about that brat. Keeping him at home isn't the solution, you know? When things stabilize, I plan to send him to kindergarten.""Alright, I'll help you check it out then." Lugh was very supportive, and the two of them looked into various kindergartens.Recently, with Lugh's help in taking care of Avery and the hiring of a nanny, Avery was well cared for. When Ember returned home, the little boy rushed into her arms."Mommy, I've been so incompetent! I made you suffer so much," Avery complained.Ember was unsure if she should laugh or cry at his wo
Caleb opened his mouth to say something, but he suddenly felt powerless in the face of Ember's caution and composure.Avery peeked out from behind and made a funny face. "I don't believe you. Stay away from Mommy and me. Don't think about bullying Mommy!"Avery's words, accompanied by a wrinkled nose, deeply pierced Caleb's heart. Looking at the determined eyes of the mother and son, he had no choice but to give up.He handed the nutritional supplements he brought to Ember without hesitation. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't want to see me, I'll leave. Take the things."After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly as if afraid of Ember's rejection.Seeing Caleb's somewhat lonely figure, emotions stirred in Ember's heart. It left a slightly bitter taste in her mouth."Mommy! Mommy!" Avery called several times before Ember snapped out of it. She turned around, burying herself in Avery's shoulder. Her eyes were a b
“What your favorite foods are, what your favorite activities are, where your favorite places to have fun are... I’ll remember all of it.”There was sincerity in Caleb’s eyes, and his handsome face seemed to have the same sincerity Avery had.Avery seemed to be touched by his words. He frowned, deep in thoughts.Caleb tried to touch his hand. Avery immediately moved away, but in truth, he didn’t hate Caleb touching him that much.It was a good beginning, Caleb thought to himself in glee. “I requested for this limited-edition action figure to be made. Do you like it?”He reflected upon his actions last night, and then immediately asked his men to find all information on Avery. He needed to hit the boy’s sweet spot, so he asked someone to make Avery’s favorite action figure.While Avery was smart, he was still a child in the end. When he saw that the action figure he had wanted for a long time appeared in front of him, he looked at it excitedly.However, he was still wary of Caleb
The expression on Caleb’s face instantly turned gloomy, but the speaker didn’t notice him.Ember was also getting a headache when she noticed Caleb’s sudden anger. She didn’t expect that everything would happen at the same time. She then gave Lugh an apologizing look.The salesman was still trying to sell, as if he couldn’t see the conflict brewing between them.Caleb took a step forward and instantly got closer to Ember, shortening their distance. Then, he rejected the salesman. “No thanks, since this man is an outsider. I’m not so generous to let my wife take a picture with someone else.”Only then did the salesman seem to have realized what was going on, and looked at them with wide eyes. Then, he quickly apologized. “I’m so sorry, sir. I didn’t know.”And then, as if he was trying to salt Caleb’s wounds, the salesman was still mumbling something as he left. “That’s weird. Those two look more like husband and wife.”Caleb was at the verge of exploding, but Avery was giggling
Once the pinky-promise was complete, the simple vow had been made.Caleb let out a laugh and picked Avery up as he tried to learn from other fathers, and did his best to let Avery sit on his shoulders.It was also something fresh for Avery, as he had never experienced watching things from this angle. He tried his best to look further, and that was how the two of them chatted and laughed as they went back to Ember and Lugh.Ember was feeling quite puzzled to see the two of them getting so close in such a short time. Had Caleb managed to turn Avery against them?Caleb put down Avery, and the boy quickly ran to her side. Then, he gave her an ice-cream, presenting it like it was a treasure. “Mommy, have some ice-cream! You like vanilla the most, right?”“Thank you, honey,” Ember said with a smile as she took it. Then, she gave Avery a kiss on his forehead.Avery gave Lugh the chocolate ice-cream meant for him. Once they were almost done with the ice cream, he said, “Mommy, let’s go t
Avery happily came back with some fried chicken, and began to share them with Ember. He then turned to Lugh with a smile. “Uncle Lugh, I want to eat some carbohydrates. I think there’s someone selling potato wedges over there!”How could Caleb allow the godfather to outshine the biological father when he was around? He immediately stood up and said, “I’ll get some for you.”Lugh didn’t want to be left behind. He pinched Avery’s nose, and said, “I’ll go get some for you. Stay here and protect your mommy!”And so, buying the carbohydrates turned from Lugh’s task to Lugh and Caleb’s task. Two tall and handsome men walking side by side was very attractive.Avery was still a child. While he was eating, his eyes began to shine with interest when he saw a snack booth with a spinner wheel not far away. “Mommy, look! Don’t they look delicious?”As his mother, of course Ember knew very clearly what he was thinking. She gave his head a light knock. “Come on, I’ll buy some for you.”“Hooray!
