"Dr. Miller sent me a message today to ask for my answer. I replied to him as you instructed, Mr. Lane."Caleb narrowed his dark eyes. After hearing her words, he nodded slightly with satisfaction.He leaned back on the chair and rhythmically tapped his slender fingers on the table.Without concealing his intention, he got straight to the point and said, "I need you to lure out Dr. Miller and the mastermind behind him. Can you do it?"Susan couldn't help but look confused upon hearing those words."How do I do it?"After a pause, she quickly continued, "Mr. Lane, you already owed me a favor when I divulged the information to you back then. How are you going to repay me if I help you this time?"Susan was a shrewd woman.She knew that this cooperation was dangerous for her, but at the same time it was the best opportunity for her to get close to Caleb.Caleb stared at Susan with razor-sharp eyes. After hearing her words, he slowly narrowed his eyes.An imposing aura emanated f
"I don't have any ulterior motive, Mr. Lane. I just want to take a stand in this matter so that you can completely trust me. I will fully cooperate with anything you task me with."Caleb was quite satisfied with the reply.He nodded slightly and said coldly, "Try to contact Dr. Miller and make an appointment with him to find out about the mastermind behind him."Right now, Caleb wanted to confirm if Henry was the one who had taken Wilson away.With a reluctant look on her slightly crumpled face, Susan replied, "Contact Dr. Miller? This may be a little difficult."Dr. Miller contacted me using a different phone number every time. They are all virtual numbers, so I have no way to determine his contact information, let alone his address."Caleb had a sinister look in his eyes as he curled his lip coldly. He then said firmly, "Don't worry, he will contact you tomorrow for sure."Caleb came out of the lab and went to the hospital.As expected, Ember hadn't left the hospital yet.On
Caleb grimaced at those remarks.He looked coldly at the staff present and questioned, "Is there really no way to proceed the research? Why didn't you all check carefully when you conducted the experiment in the first place? How could you make such a rookie mistake?"After hearing Caleb's questions, Stephen, standing among the crowd, cleared his throat and interrupted him in a low voice, "Alright, all of you, stop arguing. It is normal for deviations and errors to occur during a research. Let's solve the problem now. It's pointless to make a fuss about it."Stephen spoke lightly, but the surrounding researchers disagreed with him.They all looked embarrassed and said reluctantly, "Professor Stone, that's easy for you to say. It will be time-consuming to redo the experiments, and we will run out of time!""Once we missed the deadline given by Dr. Sanders, there will be no way to wake up her mother even if we manage to develop the specific drug."Silence instantly filled the confer
Wilson was obviously the one had sent the two messages, judging from the content.[How is the situation, Ms. Baker?][Have you settled the issue at the lab?]Caleb, standing next to Susan, happened to glance at the content on her phone out of the corner of his eye.A fierce glint flashed across Caleb's dark eyes after he saw the two messages.He clenched his fists and reminded her coldly, "Reply to him and tell him the job is done."You will meet with him to determine his sincerity in the cooperation. If he can't make the decision, meet the mastermind behind him."The quick-witted Susan immediately understood what he meant.She raised her head and glanced at Caleb. Then, she nodded slightly and replied in front of him, [The job is done. When are you going to fulfill the promise you have made?[There are problems with the lab data, so they will have to take a lot of time to redo some of the research. Based on the current progress at the lab, it is no longer possible to complete
At that moment, Susan had sent several messages consecutively at the lab, but there was no reply from Wilson.She couldn't help but feel a little anxious and her voice was filled with frustration."I told you so. Dr. Miller will not give any response once he has achieved his goal. I am afraid we will lose communication with him after he ignores us this time."Caleb's sharp eyes narrowed as he reached out and took the phone in Susan's hand.He tapped on the phone screen with his slender fingers and quickly sent a message.He didn't hesitate to expose Wilson with a questioning tone in the message.[Dr. Miller, if you don't have the final say on this matter, then get your backer to talk to me. I look forward to working with you guys, but you have to show me the benefits of our cooperation.]Henry was holding the phone at that moment. When he saw the pop-up message, he slowly narrowed his dark eyes with a smile on his lips.That woman seemed to be smarter than he thought. She even
Susan took the phone and glanced at the message before she replied to Wilson as Caleb instructed."What do I do next, Mr. Lane? Do you want to come with me tonight?"Susan knew that Caleb had asked her to meet Wilson again so that he could bring him to justice and make him pay the price he deserved.Caleb slowly clenched his fists and his eyes flashed with fierce light. He then said slowly in a deep voice, "You should go alone tonight to make Dr. Miller trust you without arousing suspicion."I will come to the lab tonight and wait for your good news. I hope you won't let me down."When Susan heard what he said, she looked confused and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Lane? Didn't you go through all the hassle just to catch Dr. Miller?"Isn't tonight your best chance?"Caleb curled his lip and a cold glint flashed across his dark eyes as he sneered, "Of course, I want to catch Dr. Wilson, but not now."With an imposing aura emanating from him, Caleb continued in a deep voice, "You
With a warm smile on his face, the butler lowered his voice and replied gently, "Jamie, Avery has gone to the study with Mr. Lane."Jamie blinked with a radiant smile on her face."I'll go to the study to find Avery then."Jamie trotted toward Caleb's study before she reached out and knocked gently on the door.The father and son in the room had just finished their conversation. Avery had a serious look on his face as he said, "Daddy, we will be able to locate the other party's whereabouts quickly with this."There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Jamie's voice."Daddy, Avery, are you in there? What are you two doing? Why don't you play with me?"As soon as Avery heard Jamie's voice, he jumped down from the chair, ran to the door, and opened it."Jamie, are you done with calligraphy?"Jamie was smart, but she was a little inferior to Avery and didn't learn as fast as him. She was the last one to finish the calligraphy prepared by Seth every day.Jamie curled her li
Avery was playing games with Jamie in the toy room.However, Jamie suddenly said that she wanted to drink milk. As the elder brother, Avery immediately stood up, thumped his chest and said, "Wait here, Jamie. I will get you a glass of milk."After Avery left, Jamie quietly took out her smartwatch and called Ember.Ember was accompanying Mia in the hospital.As long as Mia was still in a coma, Ember could never take the weight off her mind.She felt relieved only if she saw her mother every day.Ember's phone suddenly rang in the ward. She took it out and looked at the screen, only to see Jamie's caller ID.During this time, Ember had to go out and stay in the hospital almost every day, so she gave each of her children a smartwatch to facilitate communication.They could call her in time if they encountered any issue.When Ember saw Jamie's caller ID, a smile broke across her face, and her eyes looked gentle.After picking up the call, she put the phone to her ear and asked ge
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
