Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 67
Under Ember's attentive care, Eva's condition showed remarkable improvement. Her skin had a healthy glow, and she was able to move around on her own.Eva frequently voiced her discomfort about being confined to the hospital, yearning to go outside.Caleb's infrequent presence and Ember's inability to make major decisions independently, especially given the Lane family's numerous rivals and the potential risk of malicious intent during Caleb's absence, required them to proceed with caution.Nevertheless, Ember made the decision to get in touch with Caleb after seeing Eva's depressed state.She removed his contact from the blacklist and called him.He picked up immediately, his voice filled with unexpected joy, "Em, I'm surprised you’ve reached out."After a short pause, Ember weighed her thoughts and briefed him on Eva's recent health progress."Grandma's health has improved. If at all possible, we should grant her wish and allow her to rest at home. Being in a place she enjoys m

Avery excitedly rushed toward Caleb, who lifted him into the air, spinning him around like a classic father-son duo.The laughter of the boy echoed in the air as Caleb finally put him down.Watching this tender moment between father and son, Ember felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness in her heart.Noticing Ember's unusual demeanor, Caleb asked with a concerned frown, "Where are you headed? Is it a business trip?"Not wanting to hide anything, she sighed and shared, "There are some students from the school who've gone missing. I just got word that they've been located in Millerville. I'm planning to go there to assess the situation and hopefully bring them back."Caleb's brow creased with worry, and he probed, "Are you intending to go there by yourself?""I've already contacted the local police there."Before Ember could finish, Caleb interrupted her, his tone laced with worry, "You're being too careless about your safety. What would Avery and I do if something happened to you

Nick displayed a gesture of defeat, speaking with a tone of resignation, "How can anyone guess what he's thinking? I just checked on him, and he's all set to leave for Millerville by tomorrow. It's just a desolate village. What could possibly attract him there?"At the mention of that name, Penelope's heart thumped ferociously. She asked guiltily, "What's Caleb's reason for going to such a remote place?"With a shake of his head and a sip from his drink, Nick replied, "Who can say? He's always been impulsive. Let's not dwell on it, let's just enjoy our drinks."They clinked their glasses and chatted about other matters.Penelope was preoccupied. Despite drinking the glass of wine, her mind kept returning to the reason for Caleb's visit to that location.She had an epiphany all of a sudden.Could Caleb have found something? Her alcohol-induced haze vanished in an instant.She quickly excused herself from Nick, sought a quiet area, and called Donelle."Caleb will be in Millervill

Caleb and Ember had just reached the edge of a small village when Ember suddenly cried out, "Hold on! There's something odd by the roadside."Caleb immediately braked, bringing the car to a halt."What is it? What did you spot?" he asked.Ember pointed at the spot on the roadside they had just passed by, frowned, and said, "Right there! Do you see a pair of red shoes?"Caleb squinted and peered intently. He felt a sudden sense of unease and said, "Indeed, they're there. They don’t appear to be abandoned. Someone might be wearing them."As Ember was about to step out for a closer inspection, Caleb quickly held her back and said, "Wait! Stay in the car, I'll check it out. I'll call you if it's safe."He left the car, a stun gun in hand, and cautiously approached the bushes.The area was deathly quiet. When he parted the bushes, he discovered a young girl who was pale and was lying there motionless.Caleb gently prodded her to confirm that it was safe before signaling to Ember, wh

The young girl, Hazel Rowse, nodded affirmatively and revealed, "Before you became the principal, I was abducted. Those evil men showed us your photo, speaking ill of you. We all understood they resented you because you stood against them and you're a kind person."This revelation caused Ember deep emotional pain. She had not expected the girl she had randomly saved to be one of the missing students she was searching for.She asked gently, "Hazel, what can you share about what you went through?"Memories of her traumatic experiences caused Hazel to shudder, and her eyes welled up with tears.Quickly wiping Hazel's tears away, Ember felt a wave of guilt wash over her as she took in the sight of Hazel's battered body."I'm sorry for being late. I rushed to the village to save you all as soon as I heard. I found you on the roadside... and brought you here."Upon hearing Ember's words, Hazel burst into tears. Between sobs, she recounted, "It's the fault of those bad people. They beat

As Ember drove home and stepped inside the house, Avery excitedly jumped out.The boy exclaimed, "Mommy, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"Hazel quickly hid behind Ember when she saw Avery.The time the two had spent together had created a deep trust in Ember, who had become a beacon of hope in the little girl's life, rescuing her from a perilous situation.Avery noticed Hazel behind Ember. He widened his eyes in surprise and curiously asked, "Mommy, who's she? Did you find me a sister?"He then adopted a serious look, stifled his joy, and rebuked her mother maturely, "Mommy, this isn't right. Daddy and Uncle Lugh won't like this when they find out.""You little rascal," Ember lightly tapped Avery's head, reprimanding him in a playful tone, "Hazel is a student of mine. She's here to rest and get better, so she'll be staying with us. You must take good care of her, okay?"Avery blinked his eyes and nodded enthusiastically. "Awesome! I've been bored, and now I have a

Upon entering the building, Avery was immediately recognized by the receptionist, who recalled the previous encounter with the boy. She braced herself, anticipating potential mischief from him.Avery surprised her by being really courteous this time, asking, "Hello, could you please get Caleb for me? He's my dad."She considered it for a while. Then, she dialed the internal line with a smile and informed him, "Mr. Gerry, there's a boy here claiming to be Mr. Lane's son, asking to see Mr. Lane."Gerry was somewhat confused and responded skeptically, "Mr. Lane's son? Could be a hoax."He was not regularly in Caleb's company and was thus less aware of his personal life.Overhearing the conversation, Caleb stepped forward and questioned, "Who wants to see me?"Before the receptionist could reply, Avery piped up eagerly, "Daddy, it's me! Avery!"Caleb immediately softened his tone, urging, "Avery, wait for me downstairs."The phone call came to an end with a click.It was not long

Caleb agreed with a nod, "Absolutely. We must move quickly for the safety of these children."They resolved to head back to Millersville to conduct a more thorough investigation.Just as they were about to set off, Caleb's phone rang.It was Nick, sounding irritated. "What's going on? Why haven't you been answering your calls?"Caleb contemplated for a moment and then chose not to hide the truth."I'm tied up with the human trafficker case. It's hectic. Can you manage the company for a while? Please call only if necessary."With that brief explanation, Caleb ended the call before Nick could respond and hurriedly got in the car to leave.On the other end, Nick, hearing the call end abruptly, called out for Caleb a few times in frustration.Annoyed, he then gave Penelope a call, "Hey, how about a drink? Caleb is on the hunt for human traffickers and just hung up on me."Penelope's ears perked up at the word 'human traffickers'."What about human traffickers?" she asked sharply.

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
