Once the pinky-promise was complete, the simple vow had been made.

Caleb let out a laugh and picked Avery up as he tried to learn from other fathers, and did his best to let Avery sit on his shoulders.

It was also something fresh for Avery, as he had never experienced watching things from this angle. He tried his best to look further, and that was how the two of them chatted and laughed as they went back to Ember and Lugh.

Ember was feeling quite puzzled to see the two of them getting so close in such a short time. Had Caleb managed to turn Avery against them?

Caleb put down Avery, and the boy quickly ran to her side. Then, he gave her an ice-cream, presenting it like it was a treasure. “Mommy, have some ice-cream! You like vanilla the most, right?”

“Thank you, honey,” Ember said with a smile as she took it. Then, she gave Avery a kiss on his forehead.

Avery gave Lugh the chocolate ice-cream meant for him. Once they were almost done with the ice cream, he said, “Mommy, let’s go t

    Avery happily came back with some fried chicken, and began to share them with Ember. He then turned to Lugh with a smile. “Uncle Lugh, I want to eat some carbohydrates. I think there’s someone selling potato wedges over there!”How could Caleb allow the godfather to outshine the biological father when he was around? He immediately stood up and said, “I’ll get some for you.”Lugh didn’t want to be left behind. He pinched Avery’s nose, and said, “I’ll go get some for you. Stay here and protect your mommy!”And so, buying the carbohydrates turned from Lugh’s task to Lugh and Caleb’s task. Two tall and handsome men walking side by side was very attractive.Avery was still a child. While he was eating, his eyes began to shine with interest when he saw a snack booth with a spinner wheel not far away. “Mommy, look! Don’t they look delicious?”As his mother, of course Ember knew very clearly what he was thinking. She gave his head a light knock. “Come on, I’ll buy some for you.”“Hooray!

    Ember was unhappy when she saw how the woman acted, but she was still respectful of Avery’s thoughts. She asked him, “Avery, do you like this doll? Do you want to give it to him?”Avery instinctively clutched the doll even tighter. He turned his head away, and said coldly, “I don’t want to. I hate those who steal from me the most!”Ember smiled; she straightened her back, and looked at the woman’s disdainful expression. “Hear that? My son’s not giving.”The woman looked at them from top to bottom a few times, as if it was the first time that someone refused her. She then grabbed a stack of bills from her wallet, and dangled it in front of Ember.“Alright, alright. You want money, isn’t that right? The money here is enough to buy a few more similar dolls like this one.”The smile on Ember’s face didn’t dissipate, and her tone was similarly cold. “I’m sorry, but we’re not selling.”The woman instantly removed her glasses, revealing a pair of double eyelids that seemed to be slightl

    Ember almost burst in laughter. What a strange family, spinning tales like that. Anyone could see who was the one bullying and who was the victim.“My husband is the manager of Lane Group’s Sales department! Do you know the Lane Group? It’s world’s number one! If you dare cross my husband, I’ll make sure you’ll never be free of trouble!” the woman said triumphantly.She rolled her eyes at Ember, as if willing to accept Ember’s apologies and flattery any time. She even added, “If you apologize to us right now and give us the doll, I can forgive you. All my husband needs to do is to wiggle his finger, and you won’t be able to live here anymore!”As the woman kept on bragging, the man simply looked pleased. He eyed Ember in disdain.Lane Group? Ember raised her eyebrow, the iciness on her smile almost froze her surroundings. How small the world could be?Caleb, of all people, was trying to woo her. This man was just a manager, but he was already so arrogant?“Those who know it recog

    Caleb’s smile slowly disappeared from his face. However, since Ember was around, he still made an effort to retain his smile. “It’s my duty to protect them. There’s no need to thank me.”“Of course I have to. I’ve always been the one to take care of them, so it’s my fault.” While Lugh’s tone was gentle, one could sense the aggression.As the two men were exchanging words, they were exchanging aggressive glances as well.Avery looked admiringly at Caleb, and said happily, “You’re great! You scared him away with just a few words!”Children had always looked up to heroes. Caleb, who protected them, seemed to have gained another positive status. Avery wanted Ember and Caleb to get together even more.However, nothing much happened next. After finishing their meals, Caleb wanted to send Ember back home and show how good a man he was. However, Lugh was wary of him. While they had quietly exchanged glares, Caleb had to abandon his plan in the end.When he regained his composure, Ember w

    The moment Caleb looked at her, he would remember all the things she did. He instantly felt irritated by her. Even her face, something he once found beautiful, became detestable.“I told you last time that I don’t want anything to do with you anymore. There’s no need for you to do this anymore.”Penelope wanted to say something, when policemen suddenly rushed into the lobby. They showed her the warrant, then put her in handcuffs and dragged her into the police car without listening to a word from her.Everyone was shocked by what had happened; they quickly picked up their phones and took pictures of what had happened. Instantly, the news of Penelope getting arrested spread into the web.When Donelle saw the news, she couldn’t stop herself from sweating.What should she do? Even Penelope had been arrested. If what she did was found out, what should she do?While she was personally behind the abuse, Penelope was also part of it. If Penelope were to reveal all these things, then wou

    Ember’s lips formed a cold smile. With the information of the IP address in hand, she kept on confirming the details.As she expected, the account that kept on discrediting her was an alternate account that Donelle used. The IP address shown was where Donelle was.Didn’t she keep on complaining that Ember didn’t explain herself? Ember would use this chance to give Donelle a huge present, and prevent the latter from doing things like this behind her back anymore.Ember logged into her socials, then forwarded the rumor post that the most people had liked. After that, she made a post.[I don’t care about these smear campaigns, but a certain someone keeps on mentioning this again and again. This time, I won’t be showing any mercy. See you at the police station!]The attached image was the alternate account’s information and IP address.She then published the post.What Ember did shocked everyone, and the comments section cheered her on.When Donelle found out about it, she was in

    Ember felt consoled when she looked at the youthful, smiling faces of her students as they rallied around her passionately.She stayed in school for a little while longer. After she was done with her work, she received an emergency call from the hospital.“Doctor Ember, please come back quickly! A special patient has been admitted, and we need you to take a look right now!”For a surgeon involved in emergency care, something like this was nothing out of the usual. Ember hung up, then quickly went to the hospital.When she saw that special patient, she was stunned.It was Caleb’s grandmother, that old lady that loved her so much all those years ago.In the beginning, she was the one that supported Caleb marrying Ember. Without this old lady, Ember wouldn’t have enough money to treat her mother.Ember was stunned for a few seconds, then managed her emotions. She immediately applied the necessary emergency care.Luckily, all the old woman had were a few bruises—there was nothing s

    It was obvious that she still wanted to get Ember and Caleb back together.Caleb was very cooperative as well.“Em, if there’s anything, you can tell me directly. While Grandma is staying here, I’ll be here accompanying her as well.”It was obvious that Ember didn’t want to say anything more and simply explained everything with a cold expression on her face in a formal tone. She then raised her head and said, “That’s probably all of it. For everything else, I’ll write it down in the doctor’s note. Just pay more attention to it.”However, how could Caleb give up on such a good chance for them to spend more time together?He agreed to it. However, over the next few days, other than taking care of Rose, he would look for Ember.Even the nurses at the reception knew that Mr. Lane, who was taking care of a family member in the VIP ward, would always go and look for Doctor Ember every day at the same time with fruits that were already prepared or lunch that was well made.“Mr. Lane, w

    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?

    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.

    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.

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.

    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?
