The call was brief,. After hanging up, Caleb's subordinate entered the small clinic.As soon as he entered, he realized that he couldn't see Wilson anywhere.The clinic's lobby was rundown as usual. It looked quite normal. There was a locked door that led to a room being set up like a laboratory with a variety of scientific equipment and chemical agents.However, Wilson was nowhere to be seen.The man in black looked quite frustrated.He had only lost sight of Wilson for a split second. How could that man have vanished into thin air? Could this old clinic have a basement?The man in black was well skilled and observant.He did a lap around the clinic, but he couldn't find any evidence of a basement.However, he discovered two distinct footprints outside the locked room.The footprints appeared to have been left recently, based on the footsteps' clarity.There were also drag marks near the footprints.The black-clad man's eyes went wide. A dreadful premonition welled up in hi
Allen answered the phone respectfully, "Mr. Lane, what are your orders?"Caleb's eyes were steely, and his voice was freezing cold. "Help me investigate Dr. Miller's intrapersonal relationships. See if he has offended anyone."For some reason, Caleb had a horrible feeling.He had always believed that Wilson's disappearance was a complex issue.Caleb exited the company and headed straight to the hospital.Ember had been spending more and more time in the hospital recently. She constantly traveled between the hospital and the research institute every day.Even the time spent going home and accompanying the two children was significantly decreased.Fortunately, the two children were well-behaved and recognized Ember's mood. Not only did they not throw tantrums, but they also comforted her, making her feel a lot better.Ember knew that Caleb had gone to look into Wilson's situation today.She intended to bring it up to Caleb. When she saw him arrive at the hospital, she couldn't w
When Wilson heard these remarks, his body shuddered uncontrollably, and a film of cold sweat appeared on his back.What did these people want to do to him? Were they out to kill him?Wilson briefly considered all of the people he might have insulted, but he couldn't think of anyone who would kill him.True, he had done some outrageous things in the past, but all of them had taken place elsewhere.He had been peaceful since returning home, working independently and conducting practical studies.Mia was Wilson's first try at human experimentation since returning to Frissia.Wilson remembered Caleb and how cold his dangerous gaze was."Are you Caleb's men? Did he order you to abduct me?" Wilson exclaimed.The man in the vehicle swept an apathetic glance at Wilson, his voice irritated. "You don't need to keep guessing. Wait until you reach the destination. You'll know who is trying to find you."He continued, "Don't worry, we're not interested in this life of yours."After hearin
This move made Henry exceedingly unhappy. The smile on his face faded, and his eyes narrowed."Dr. Miller, if I'm not mistaken, you're in trouble now."When Wilson heard this, he was a little taken aback. "How did you know?"Henry chuckled softly. He shifted into a relaxed position as he replied coldly, "Of course I know that,"If I want to cooperate with you, Dr. Miller, I need to investigate your background and what you've done your whole life."Investigate?Wilson turned angry as he realized he couldn't walk away from the people who had brought him here today.Gritting his teeth, he decided to take the risk and ask, "Since you've already thoroughly investigated me, tell me what you called me in for."Henry gestured for Wilson to sit.Dr. Wilson hesitated for a moment before sitting on the edge of the couch.Henry smiled with satisfaction as his body rested on the couch."I admire your dedication toward research, Dr. Miller. The fact that you dare to test the drugs on Cale
These words resonated with Wilson. They filled him with renewed vigor.This was exactly what he needed and desired the most.Wilson didn't even ask Henry what he wanted him to do. He simply nodded in accord without hesitation."Okay. I promise you, as long as you can keep me and send me away, I'll do whatever you want me to do.""Good! I'm waiting for you to say this!"Henry's face lit up with a smile as he shouted aloud, his hands clapping heavily. His countenance was full of unmistakable enthusiasm."Working with someone as straightforward as you makes me happy, Dr. Miller."Wilson crossed one leg over the other. He clasped his hands together and said seriously, "Go ahead. What do you want me to do?"Henry's eyes were ghostly, with a garish glow emanating from them.He pursed his lips and laughed softly; his voice was unhurried and very interested as he spoke slowly. "Actually, what I want you to do is very simple."I know that Ember has a research institute, and the people
If Wilson was not discovered in time, his presence constituted a hidden threat. It was hard to predict when he might appear.Caleb was uneasy because he couldn't bring Wilson to justice."Keep investigation for me. I must find him no matter how deep I have to dig."Caleb's look was unmistakably serious, and his voice was so firm as he gave orders.Avery noticed Caleb had been frowning every day, leading to him approaching the latter. His eyes sparkled as he asked innocently, "Daddy, are you in some kind of trouble?"Is there anything I can help you with?"He appeared like a small grownup and even patted his chest after finished speaking.Caleb was also amused by his expression. A smile appeared on his face right away. He did not hide it from his son, telling him what was worrying him."Dr. Miller, your grandmother's former attending doctor, has gone missing. He utilized drugs indiscriminately while treating your grandma, which violates the law. So, we must identify him."When
No one responded, but a message popped on Susan's phone."Come in, I'm inside."Susan took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.With a creak, the door was opened. She saw the middle room of the small courtyard was lit.Susan was not afraid of anything at this time, so she walked toward the brightly-illuminated room.She knocked on the door and heard a deep voice."Come in."Susan pushed the door, walked in, and was shocked when she saw the person inside."What a surprise."Her fear and nervousness disappeared in an instant, feeling a little disgusted.Wilson slowly raised his head with a twisted smile and looked kind as always.He pointed to the seat opposite him and smiled, "Sit down, please."Susan looked at him vigilantly and asked coldly, "Did you send the message? What do you want from me?"Susan knew what Wilson did because Stephen had told the research institute about it.She had thought of making Caleb love her, but as a doctor, she would never do that to her
Susan instantly became vigilant. She narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at Wilson.Alert, she wondered why Wilson asked about that.She had a bad feeling about that and interrupted Wilson's tortuous talk by going straight to the point. "Dr. Miller, don’t waste my time. I only took two hours of leave. What do you want me to do?”Wilson picked up his teacup and took a sip from it. He then reclined on his seat while gazing at Susan. "You know, research is cumbersome and has complicated procedures. A minor mistake could ruin everything. I need you to do something to make Professor Stone's research fail.”Susan was triggered by his words. She stood up from her seat while glaring at Wilson furiously.Susan thought Wilson was out of his mind."Dr. Miller, have you lost your mind? You failed your experiment, and worse, you experimented on humans! Now you’re asking me to ruin Professor Stone’s research? How could you ask that of me!"Susan said decisively without hesitation, "I won’t
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
