"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
Caleb took Avery to the study after Jamie left.He carried Avery to the chair in front of his desk and asked seriously, "Avery, can you obtain the surveillance footage outside your grandma's ward?"Avery looked a little confused by Caleb's question.However, he didn't ask for the reason. He just nodded his head and replied solemnly, "I can do it!"With a look of endearment on his face, Caleb reached out and stroked Avery's head before he said, "I know that you will be able to do it, Avery. Help me retrieve the footage. I need to watch it. Can you do it?”It was not a difficult task for an expert hacker like Avery.Shortly afterward, Avery began to tap quickly on the keyboard with both hands.Avery looked extremely serious and focused all his attention on the computer screen as he retrieved the surveillance footage.He maintained a straight and serious posture despite his tender age. From a distance, he seemed to resemble Caleb.After a while, Avery retrieved the surveillance f
"Mom, I'm here."Jamie was delighted to see her conscious grandmother. Spreading her arms like a butterfly, she ran up to the hospital bed and called out softly, "Grandma, you have to get well soon. When you get better, I will take you to have fun outside, okay?"Jamie spoke with a serious face. Meanwhile, Mia, lying on the hospital bed, felt warm upon hearing her words.Her voice was still hoarse and didn't sound as pleasant as a normal person's. Her lips parted slightly as she said slowly, "Okay, Jamie. I will play with you when I get better."Ember and Jamie stayed with Mia in the hospital for a while. She reluctantly left the ward after Mia fell asleep again.After coming out of the ward, Ember wanted to visit Wilson to learn more about her mother's condition.Mia woke up more frequently now. Did it mean that she was getting better?However, she didn't see Wilson after arriving at his office.Ember walked up to a nurse passing by the door and asked politely, "Lily, do you k
Upon hearing Ember's voice, Wilson hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Dr. Sanders. I'm not at the hospital because I have a consultation at another hospital today."Are you calling me to inform me that something has happened to your mother?"Wilson was polite and courteous as he properly explained why he was not at the hospital.Although Wilson was Mia's attending doctor, he was not in charge of her alone.He had other work and patients, so it was natural that he couldn't stay with Mia all the time.Ember nodded slightly, expressing her understanding. She then said slowly, "There is nothing wrong with my mother, Dr. Miller. I just want to ask if her current condition has improved. Based on my observation over the past two days, my mother has been waking up more often."Wilson, on the other end of the phone, looked very excited after hearing those words. His calm eyes behind the thick-rimmed glasses even glinted."Dr. Sanders, this is a good sign. After my consultation is over, I
"Caleb, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Why do you look so nervous all of a sudden?"Ember rarely saw such a nervous and cautious look on Caleb's face. For a moment, her heart skipped a beat out of anxiety.After taking Ember into the study, the grim-faced Caleb closed the door.He sat Ember down on the chair. He then looked seriously at her and said slowly, "Em, I have something urgent to tell you now. This matter concerns your mother, so you'd better brace yourself.”His tone and expression made Ember feel uneasy. She couldn't help but sigh and subconsciously grab Caleb's hand."What's going on? Hurry up and tell me!"For the moment, Ember couldn't think of any emergency concerning her mother.Caleb placed his palm on her shoulder and patted her comfortingly before he spoke seriously,"I have sent someone to investigate Dr. Miller in the past two days and found some issues with his old resume. He lacks medical ethics and used human bodies for medical experiments a
