Ember still had other patients to check on, so she couldn’t stay there and continue watching the show. All she could do was leave a few pieces of advice before having to deal with her own business.Once Ember had left, the fake Doctor N pretended to make a few more checks.Caleb also didn’t know just how good the doctor was, so he tested him, asking, “Are there any specific drugs that can cure this condition?”In his eyes were curiosity and the desire to know more about this, but on the surface, one could only see his trusting nature.The fake Doctor N put his hand behind his back, doing his best to make himself look like he wasn’t corrupted by the power of money. However, the greed in his eyes still betrayed his true nature.He faked two coughs before saying, “I know what to do about that. Once I’m done, I’ll think about a specific drug meant for her. For now, she simply has to maintain her health.”Caleb nodded and said nothing more. Then, he said, “Then I’ll leave this in your
Caleb forced a smile as he got more suspicious.“Don’t spend all your effort on that Doctor N. The expensive medicine he prescribed is useless, and he doesn’t look like a good person,” Rose said as she shook her head. She had seen many people in her life, and she could see through at least someone like him.Caleb consoled her a little but she immediately changed the subject. “How are things going with you and Ember? Don’t ignore her just because of this Doctor N. You still have to respect her opinion.”Caleb nodded and recalled Ember’s smile. “I know that. You don’t have to worry about it. While a lot has happened, I trust her.”Only then did Rose let out a smile and nodded. Then, she prodded his forehead with her finger and sighed, saying with a laugh, “It’s all because of you not knowing who’s good for you. Such a good person had been with you for a few years yet you hurt her. Only now do you regret it.”Caleb couldn’t help but lower his head when he saw Rose acting so energetic
By now, both the fake Doctor N and Penelope had arrived. The fake Doctor N cried out, “No! You can’t let the madam go in for the surgery!”When the nurse saw Doctor N approaching them, she stopped and looked at each of them, not sure who to listen to.“Get ready,” Ember said as she gave the fake Doctor N a look with a dark expression on her face.“No!” The fake Doctor N was also quite persistent. “I’m the madam’s primary doctor, and Mr. Lane has allowed me to handle everything. You’ll naturally have to listen to me. Can you bear the responsibility if anything happens during the surgery?”Ember took a deep breath and said almost in a whisper, “Grandma is in real danger now, and I don’t have time to argue with you. I don’t care if you’re real or fake, if you’re threatening Grandma’s life, I won’t show you any mercy.”The fake Doctor N couldn’t say anything out of shock and guilt to the point of taking a step back.When Penelope saw what was happening, she wiped non-existent tears f
Caleb turned and looked at her, danger hidden behind his eyes. “What did you say?”“I...”“Em did everything she could to save my grandma, so why are you describing her as if she’s the one at fault here?”Penelope seemed to be shocked by his angry voice, and she continuously shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Caleb, I’m just speaking nonsense. Please don’t pay it any mind! That’s not what I meant.”Caleb ignored her completely after that and sat at the side, staring at the door leading into the surgery theater.The blinking red light on the surgery theater finally dimmed and the door opened, with Rose being pushed out.Ember was behind them, walking slowly as if she had expended all her energy. She even almost slipped.Penelope quickly went over to help her up while feigning concern. “Are you okay, Doctor Ember? Come here. Sit and rest for a while.”When Ember saw that Penelope was trying to help her, she moved away and simply found a place to sit down somewhere c
After delivering her chilly remark to Caleb, Ember prepared to go inside her house.However, Caleb unexpectedly showed an interest in following her inside.She prevented him from entry by placing a hand on the doorframe, blocking his way.Caleb was left with no choice but to give up. He said hesitantly, "I haven't seen Avery in some time. I was hoping to visit him.""He's out with friends today. You won't find him here. Please, you'll have to leave." Ember made up an excuse and rejected his request.After failing to gain entry to the condominium, Caleb resignedly decided to leave, but not before he made a point. "Don't worry, you've been a great help to my grandmother. Tomorrow, I'll come by with a thank-you gift. She really wants to show her appreciation for your help."Ember had readied herself with a response to decline Caleb, but the words she intended to say got stuck in her throat as he hurriedly left.When she walked into the house, she noticed Avery had been peeking at
An unspoken pact was formed between the two.Given that Dr. N had agreed to her request, Penelope finally grinned and asked eagerly, "What's your plan?"Dr. N gave a nod. He rummaged through several bottles and jars behind him until he came across a small, unassuming bottle.He presented the bottle to Penelope and said, "Use this."Examining the bottle curiously, Penelope questioned, "What's inside?"With a cryptic grin, Dr. N replied, "Something special. It contains mild traces of a toxin that causes discomfort but not immediate death. Prolonged use will lead to loss of appetite, lethargy, and other symptoms. It'll be easy to pin the blame on Ember."Holding the bottle, Penelope felt a mix of trepidation, almost as if she were holding a bomb."Isn't this going too far?" she wondered, thinking about Eva. "This plot will affect Grandma."Dr. N narrowed his eyes, slightly irritated."This is the only way to thoroughly deal with her. Do you want to put up with her any longer?"P
After contemplating, Caleb replied with a grave expression, "Besides us, it seems the caregiver is the only other person who could have accessed the medication."With that, he called and requested the caregiver's presence.Feeling guilty, the caregiver quickly called Penelope to inform her of the situation.Penelope ran over. Her back was drenched in cold sweat, fearing the caregiver might confess everything.Caleb ignored Penelope. His manner was menacing as he addressed the caregiver with a daunting tone, "Tell me, who else has had access to grandma's medication?"Prompted by his serious demeanor, the caregiver hastily answered, "Only Dr. Ember, you, and I have had access."Cocking his brow, Caleb's presence became more intimidating as he probed, "Does that mean you're responsible for swapping the medication?"In a panic, the caregiver shook her head and denied, "Mr. Lane, I haven't done anything wrong! I've only been administering the medicine as per Dr. Ember's instructions.
The caregiver was overwhelmed with fear. She had collapsed to the ground, shaking uncontrollably, yet she chose to remain silent.Ember inhaled deeply and suggested, "If she won't admit to anything, let's send the bottle for forensic analysis. The fingerprints on it should provide some clues. Once we get the results, we can take the case to the police.""Alright. I'll arrange for someone to handle this immediately."The intense interrogation brought the caregiver to tears.During a brief gap in their grilling, the caregiver suddenly gathered her courage.In a desperate move, she grabbed the medicine and swallowed all the pills, her face turning red as she struggled to swallow them.Realizing the gravity of the situation and that they could not allow the caregiver to die like this, Caleb and Ember sprang into action.Caleb patted her back vigorously, causing her to cough up the pills, while Ember applied pressure to her chest and abdomen.Eventually, they saved the caregiver's l
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
