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?

    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

    Rose didn’t want Caleb to be bothered by such a woman, so it was better for him to find a more innocent woman and have a harmonious life.Not to mention that the reason Penelope kept on pestering Caleb was most likely because of profit and for her family’s sake. What she loved was the status of Mrs. Lane.Rose had lived for many years and could easily see through all of Penelope’s tricks. She gave a tired yawn and waved her hand. “There’s no need for that. The two of them will be enough to take care of me. I’m getting old now and get sleepy so easily. Caleb can see you out. He’s on his way to chat with Em, anyway.”Heating Ember’s name again, Penelope quietly tightened her fists.Rose had gotten rid of Penelope with just a few sentences. Even if the latter didn’t want to leave, she had no reason to stay.The moment she turned around to leave, Ember came in, and they walked past each other.Ember looked straight ahead, almost as if she didn’t see Penelope at all.However, Penelop

    Penelope quickly hid herself when she saw Caleb coming out.It was the first time that she had seen Caleb look so upset. If she could help him with this problem, the position of Mrs. Lane would surely be hers!She had heard that on the international stage, there was a Doctor N who seemed to be quite famous for his skills in internal medicine.If she could invite this specialist to treat Rose... Not only could she save the old lady, but she could also make Ember lose her chance to shine.She made a call and ordered her men to start searching for Doctor N.A few days later, she spent a high price and finally managed to invite the so-called “Doctor N”.***The next day, Caleb appeared in Ember’s office, and he looked worse than before.The black circles under his eyes also proved that he hadn’t slept the entire night. With a raspy voice, he asked, “Are we out of options, Ember?”Ember stayed silent and finally sighed, “All I can do is try my best. I can’t give you any guarantees.

    Ember wasn’t being restrained at all, and Rose also agreed. “I’ve never heard of any Doctor N, and Ember’s quite skilled too. I believe in her. Since you’re going to give me a diagnosis, you’d better not think that you can deceive us. You’d better show some skills.”It was obvious that she was helping Ember.Penelope frowned impatiently and said gently, “Doctor N is famous. You can check out everything about him on the web.”“Doctor Ember, I know that you’re not happy that I brought in another doctor, but this is all for Grandma’s sake.”Penelope wasn’t saying it straight up, but everyone knew what she was trying to say. She was saying that Ember’s medical skills weren’t up to par and that she was jealous of Doctor N.Caleb’s expression instantly turned sour, and he retorted, “Ms. Ferguson, watch your language.”Penelope pouted unhappily and mumbled, “If she really could save Grandma, she wouldn’t have dragged it on for so long.”Seeing that Caleb was getting upset, she quickly

    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.

    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
