William almost cried when he heard his own boss's voice."I don't know. Someone suddenly rushed to our ship and burned all those goods. I wanted to bring people to grab the goods, but those people rushed up to us with blades. Several of my men shielded me, and I managed to escape."Only after saying this did Henry notice the burning odor on William's body. Numerous strands of his hair had been burned away.Seeing this, Henry could no longer contain his rage."All of you, follow me. I'd like to see who's so bold to cause me trouble today."He led a huge contingent of his men to the pier, leaving only a few to protect the lair.When Wilson awoke, he saw someone holding a blade to his throat.Before he could respond, he noticed recognizable people approaching him."Dr. Miller, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You said that you've done so much behind the scenes, how should I pay you back this time?"Dr. Wilson’s pupils shrunk somewhat when he heard this, and if he hadn't
"Sir, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect them to be so cunning. They caught all our subordinates and raided our base."Henry was furious. He might have jumped into the sea without his confidants around.Henry calmed down shortly afterward. He looked at Caleb and gritted his teeth."Well done, Mr. Lane."Henry's compliment did not sound pleasant due to his terrifying expression.But Caleb did not care.He smiled joyfully and said, "I found many things in your base. Thanks for the gifts. I really appreciate it."Henry couldn't hold it anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood.He thought for a moment before suggesting, "You can take them. I'll let you have twenty percent of my company's profit too. Just let me go."Caleb was silent. He seemed to be thinking about Henry's proposal.After a while, Caleb teased, "Thanks, but I don't need them. Besides, your money may be illegal. No, thanks."Caleb did not want to talk anymore, so he ordered his subordinates, "Get him. He can give us a
They looked into the room through the window.There were shards everywhere. Everything fragile had been smashed. Wilson did not seem tired and was looking for other things to smash.Suddenly, Wilson noticed them, stared at them, and shouted after realizing who they were."I knew it! I'll call the police to arrest you when I get out!"Ember and Caleb looked at each other with small smiles on their faces. Then, they opened the door and walked in.As soon as they entered, something came flying toward their heads. Fortunately, they managed to dodge it.Caleb's expression was terrifying when he glanced at the thing that fell to the ground.He waved behind him, and his subordinates immediately rushed forward and took Wilson to the next room.Wilson kept struggling and almost broke free.They managed to force Wilson to sit in another room.Wilson still behaved like a psycho, trying to smash things in the room.However, he was stopped before he could try."I'll chop off your hands
Ember was excited when she saw the caller ID."Professor Stone, have you made any progress?"Stephen said excitedly, "You're right. We can proceed to clinical trials." Ember could tell how cheerful Stephen was by listening to his voice."That's great. I'll tell the hospital management to get ready for it. Thank you so much for your effort, professor.""It'll be a huge success if it works on Mrs. Sanders."They chatted for a while and hung up the phone.Caleb listened to their conversation and was very happy."Great! Let's take the kids there. We need to inform the hospital management to make arrangements in advance."Ember nodded.On the way to the hospital, Ember looked at the receding scenery outside the window, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.Avery and Jamie noticed that and sat quietly in the car.They rushed to the ward after they reached the hospital.Ember walked to the bed excitedly, looking at Mia."Mom, you'll get well soon. We can't wait for the da
"Don't worry, Professor Stone is the research leader. He knows what to do better than anyone else. Everything is going to be fine. Don't worry, Em. Let's wait for the result. It's going to be okay."Ember calmed down with Caleb's comfort.Avery and Jamie held her hands.Jamie raised her head and said, "Mommy, Grandma will be alright. We will travel around the world together.""Yeah, you're right." Ember tried to persuade herself.Not long after, Stephen and the attending doctor came out of the ward.Ember hurriedly walked toward them, "How's my mom? Is she alright?"Stephen took off his mask and said, "It's normal for the patient to experience an acute rejection at the early phase of the treatment. She'll get used to the medicine eventually."Suddenly, Ember heard Mia call out to her. It was quiet, so everyone there noticed the subtle voice. "Em."Ember rushed to the bed and grabbed Mia's hand."Mom, I'm here. How are you feeling now?"Mia still had an oxygen mask on, and
Mia was treated for half a month.She was getting better and chatted with Ember sometimes."Caleb is a good man. I wish I could attend your wedding."Ember blushed and did not dare to look at Mia."Mom, Caleb, and I will hold our wedding when you get better.""I can't wait for that. Caleb is a man you should never miss."Ember laughed after seeing how anxious her mother was."Mom, I know. Here, have some apples."Avery, who had listened quietly to their conversation, asked excitedly, "Mommy, can Jamie and I be the flower girl and page boy?"Jamie clapped her hands and shouted, "Yeah! Can we?"A nurse came in and reminded them when they were talking."Mrs. Sanders needs to rest now. You may come again tomorrow.""Oh, look at the time. Rest well, Mom. I'll cook something for you tomorrow.""Okay, it's been a while."At night, Ember was preparing the chicken for the dish she was about to cook.Suddenly, the knife slipped and caused a deep wound on her hand.Caleb saw her h
Caleb strode away, whereas the doctor slumped in a chair, looking exhausted.Caleb quickly mobilized other qualified doctors to the ward to examine the body, only to acquire a result beyond everyone's expectation.Increased dosage in Mia's medication was the cause of her death.Someone had doubled her daily required dosage.Caleb kicked the stool next to him, breaking it into pieces right there and then."Check the surveillance footage!"Shortly afterwards, his subordinate came back with the surveillance footage."Mr. Lane, we found out that a nurse was responsible for Ms. Potters' daily medication, but she vanished into thin air after this incident.""She vanished into thin air?"Caleb's sweeping glance immediately silenced the subordinate."Look for her right now. Stop the news from leaking to the public."He returned to the ward and decided to tell Ember the whole story."That's the whole story. I've ordered my subordinate to find the nurse, so we'll have to wait for the
Caleb's subordinate, Lucas, was confused at first and didn't know what was going on."Do you have any new tasks for me, Mr. Lane?"Caleb leaned back on the chair, spinning the pen in his hand."Lucas Rockefeller, you have been working under me for so long. How have I been treating you?""Mr. Lane, you are very nice to me. Besides, you never mistreat your subordinates.""Why did you betray me even though I never mistreat you?"Lucas hurriedly knelt on the ground at those words."I am loyal to you, Mr. Lane. How could I possibly betray you?""If you didn't betray me, explain yourself. I instructed you guys to investigate that nurse. Only you and your subordinates know about it. How did Susan Baker learn about it? It seems you've turned a deaf ear to my instructions."Lucas lowered his head when he heard what happened."It's my fault for letting the cat out of the bag. Ms. Baker insisted that she was your sponsored student, and that she might be able to lend a hand since she was
