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
Susan stood there. None of them spoke. Wilson waited patiently.After a few minutes, Susan looked at Wilson coldly and asked, "Why should I trust you? What do you have to convince me?"Wilson said confidently, "I know Caleb’s schedule. That should be enough, right?"Susan's expression changed. She said hesitantly, "I'll think about it.""Okay, but I want your reply by tomorrow morning."Wilson did not have much time left. Henry had been urging him.Susan nodded calmly. "Okay."She left the courtyard after saying that.Her expression changed after she turned around.She looked at the courtyard again before walking away.Back at the institute, Susan kept spacing out. What Wilson said kept popping up in her mind.There were two voices in her head.Susan was smart. She realized there must be someone behind Wilson.Wilson was guilty of testing unregistered medicine on patients. The evidence was solid. She was curious what a loser like him could do to help her.The person behin
"Deliver my message to Mr. Lane before it’s too late."After speaking, Susan hung up the phone without hesitation.Allen sat on the bed and looked at the dim phone screen. After hesitating for a moment, he called Caleb.Caleb frowned in irritation. He muted his phone after a glance and turned to check whether Ember was awakened.Ember had been worried about Mia and did not sleep well for the past few days.Caleb moved carefully and lightly for fear of accidentally waking her up.He came to the living room with his phone and called Allen back."What's the matter?"Allen reported truthfully, "Sorry for calling in the middle of the night, Mr. Lane. Ms. Baker called me just now. She wanted to see you."Caleb was thinking about which Ms. Baker he was talking about."She said it’s about Mrs. Lane’s mother. She sounded urgent."Caleb frowned doubtfully.He wondered what Susan wanted to do.She was smart and would not joke about that."Tell her to come to the research institute n
But Susan forced herself to endure it."Mr. Lane, I’m risking my life to tell you this. I can’t tell it for free."Caleb frowned angrily and said in a deep voice, "Tell me first. It depends on the value of your information."Susan clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and spoke."Last night, Dr. Miller asked me to meet him at a small house at No. 72 Maroon Street."Caleb stared at Susan with murderous intent when he heard that.Susan was frightened by his expression and shrank, "Please don't look at me like that. He approached me anonymously. I didn’t know it was him."Caleb's eyes were cold and solemn, and his jaw was tense, showing his anger."What did he want from you?"Susan had decided to tell Caleb everything she knew. She could not help Wilson because Caleb would notice she was in league with Wilson anyway.She knew what Caleb was capable of. Losing the chance to study abroad would be the least he would do.Susan would never take the risk."Dr. Miller wan
"Just agree with Dr. Miller if he ever asks for your opinion. You don't have to interfere with the issue at the lab. I will take care of it."Susan vaguely understood Caleb's intention, so she nodded slightly."I have to attend to other matters. Ms. Baker, you should go back now."-Ember was groggy from sleep inertia. She turned over subconsciously and felt the cold area next to her.She opened her eyes drowsily, only to find that Caleb was no longer beside her.She grabbed the phone beside her and looked at the time—it was just a little before 5:00 a.m.Where could he have gone at this hour?She no longer felt sleepy after noticing Caleb's absence, so she got up and went downstairs.Just then, the travel-worn Caleb walked into the house with an air of aloofness.When he saw Ember sitting on the couch in the living room, he stopped in his tracks and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little while longer?"Ember's eyes fell on him as she r
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
