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.

The buyer was not one to be intimidated, arriving with several burly men. She stood her ground firmly against the traffickers, leading to a heated argument.Ember and Caleb observed the confrontation from their concealed location, silently condemning the way these individuals treated children as mere objects of trade.Surprisingly, they discovered that the two groups were in conflict.Ember reasoned that they should let them fight it out because it might work in their favor.As the situation became more intense, the traffickers tried to take the child and leave in a desperate move.The duo exchanged glances, understanding each other's plans without words.Caleb immediately texted his assistant. Briefly, his aide quickly brought a readily assembled team and arrived on the scene.The sudden intervention caught both the traffickers and the buyer off guard.Caleb's team immediately began to apprehend the traffickers, while the buyer seized the moment to escape.Caleb intervened to

She subtly gestured toward Caleb, silently urging him to call the police.Surveying their surroundings, Caleb noticed the vigilant guards watching them closely, his heart sinking with realization.The guards stood watchfully. They were armed and prepared to act at the slightest hint of trouble. Their situation was bad.While contacting his company's finance department, Caleb pondered the situation. He questioned why mere human traffickers would be armed, a thought that perplexed him.Caleb went on to say, "The 50 million will be transferred to you soon, so when can we leave?"Scarface simply laughed and said nothing.Soon after, a subordinate nervously handed him the scarface phone and said, "Chief, K is on the line."The mention of "K" piqued both Caleb and Ember's attention, prompting them to listen carefully while feigning indifference.Conversing with K, S

A bullet struck Scarface in the arm, eliciting a scream of pain from him as his gun dropped from his grasp to the ground.Caleb and Ember did not waste a moment and ran away from the scene.One of the criminal's visibly shaking subordinates yelled out, "Chief! The cops are here! It's got to be them who tipped off the police!"With the police closing in, the traffickers began a desperate resistance.Noticing Caleb and Ember's escape, one of the traffickers retrieved the gun from the ground and shot at Ember.The sound of the gunshot echoed and startled many on the scene.Ember was frozen in terror. She could only watch as the bullet sped toward her.In the nick of time, Caleb pushed her away and took the bullet in his shoulder. With blood pouring out of him, he collapsed on the ground and lay motionless."Caleb!"The police quickly subdued the shooter, but his eyes were still burning with resentment.Following an intense confrontation, the police managed to apprehend all the t

Ember breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Caleb was out of danger and that the rescued children were in the care of Caleb's assistant.Nick hurriedly arrived after hearing the news. He asked anxiously, "Ember, how's Caleb doing?"With a dry throat and a shake of her head, Ember replied, "He's not in a critical condition, but he suffered a heart attack during emergency treatment. He's going to need some time to recover.""Also, I need a favor," she added quietly, looking down.It was her first time seeking assistance from someone in Caleb's circle, but given the urgency, she had no other option but to ask for Nick's help."Tell me what you need," Nick said, willing to assist without making things difficult for her."Could you look after the children we saved for a while? I need to manage Caleb's situation first, then I'll take them back," Ember requested.Ember had previously met the children, and their pitying stares broke her heart."I've got this. Focus on Caleb," assured Nick

Around midday, as Caleb contemplated an excuse to visit Ember, she unexpectedly arrived to tend to his injury."It's time for a dressing change," she announced flatly, treating him like any other patient.She approached him to gently remove the bandages, her focus entirely on the task despite the sunlight casting a warm glow on her face.A ray of sunlight that entered through the window illuminated Ember's face. However, her mind was totally on the work at hand.For a brief moment, Caleb was enamored with her attractive features. If Ember permitted it, he wished he could lean in and kiss her."Ouch!"A sharp pain brought him back to the present as Ember tended to his wound."It's going to hurt a little, but you have to bear with it," Ember replied, her gaze fixed on the wound, addressing Caleb as if he were just another patient.She moved fast and efficiently to change the dressing."I'll arrange for your lunch to be brought here. I have other patients to look after. Be carefu
