Caleb didn’t rush it. His voice was firm as his fingers flew on the keyboard, as if he was busy with something.Ember couldn’t believe that he was able to find a clue in such a short time. With that information, it meant that the children could be found very soon.“Can you increase your efforts? Please?” she pleaded.“Of course, it’s no problem if it helps you. But about that party... Can you please come with me? I don’t want to be with another woman. Also, can you visit Grandma with me? She hasn’t been in a good mood lately.”When he said that, there was a hint of affection in his tone.Ember was somewhat taken aback. Since Caleb managed to find those missing children for her, she didn’t mind agreeing to his small requests.Not to mention, Grandma Eva had treated her well. It was fine for her to visit the old lady.“Fine, I’ll agree to that. Please hasten the investigation.”“I’ll do whatever I promised you. Don’t worry, I’ll dispatch more people to investigate tomorrow,” Cale
“Are we still going?” Impatience was showing on her face, and she was getting moody.“Of course. Let’s get into the car.”Caleb had no choice but to stop with the topic. He opened the car door for her.Since she was going to join the party as his partner, she would have to give it her all. She didn’t feel any awkwardness as she got into the car.The two of them quickly arrived at the Ferguson residence.“You’re here, Caleb!”Penelope immediately looped her arm around Caleb’s arm. It made them look very close, as if she was used to it.Caleb was getting impatient. Many times, he already told her to maintain a proper distance with him. Yet, she simply refused to listen.“Let go! I have a partner with me,” he snarled, his tone severe. His gaze on her was pure frost. Penelope was shocked, and had no choice but to let go. When she saw Ember walking out of the car, her eyes burned with envy.“Allow me to introduce her to you again. This is my wife, Ember. We’re legally married, so
Ember could smell a plot from miles away.Not to mention, this was Penelope’s home ground. She didn’t want to spend too much time with this woman. “Ms. Penelope, you need to back your accusations with proof. My personal life has nothing to do with you.”Penelope’s tears had already started falling. “Anything involving Caleb has everything to do with me! How can you do that to him?” Hearing the commotion, a crowd started gathering to watch the show unfold.Ember rolled her eyes. She was getting impatient with Penelope. “You’re not in a position to meddle in Caleb and my affairs.” However, Penelope kept up her act. She immediately pulled Ember’s hand, shaking it vigorously. “Can you please promise me that you’ll treat him well? I beg you!”Her acting was gradually filling Ember with disgust. She pulled her hand away, and in that instant, Penelope stumbled backward. Splash! Penelope’s eyes flashed as she fell into the pond.Penelope’s back was facing everyone, so her body b
"Apologize? What for?" Caleb refused to give in and stood firmly in front of Ember."Mr. Lane, please. Everyone saw it," Hank refuted angrily, his voice a couple of notches louder.Ember stood silently behind Caleb. She didn't want to leave it to Caleb to resolve the situation, so she was thinking about how to solve it.Penelope pulled Hank's arm and said softly, "Dad, forget it. It's my fault. I lost balance. She doesn't have to apologize."When she spoke, her eyes kept fleeting toward Caleb. The deep affection in her eyes could not be concealed.Caleb ignored her and insisted on resolving the matter.Just as he was about to speak, Ember's cold voice came from behind. "Are there any surveillance cameras here?"There were. Ember asked that question on purpose just to drop everyone a hint."Huh?" Penelope's face turned pale instantly. They would know she was lying.Hank turned around when he heard Penelope's voice and found her expression frozen. Only then did he feel that some
When Penelope saw Hank, she pouted unhappily to show her dissatisfaction."Pene, I had to do that." Hank approached Penelope while looking helpless."Hmph!" Penelope snorted and turned her back to Hank."Caleb threatened me with the project. I can't lose it. It'll be a huge loss for me. But don't worry, Ember will pay for that," Hank coaxed again."Really?"Penelope's eyes lit up. She turned around instantly, overjoyed by her father's words.She thought Hank would scold her for what she did to Ember behind his back."Yeah, I never lied to you. It'll be a piece of cake."Things would be easier for Penelope with Hank's help."Alright, leave it to me. I'll make sure Ember pays for this. Rest well." Hank patted Penelope's shoulder to comfort her."Thanks, Daddy!" The dissatisfaction on Penelope's face was replaced by a bright smile.Hank went to the office the next day and told his assistant, "Investigate Ember and teach her a lesson. Don't alert anyone."His assistant was more
Maeve had not checked this batch of surgical equipment yet. When she saw Ember's determined expression, she nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I'll check them right away."At Ember's reminder, Maeve ditched what she was doing and checked on the equipment right away.After that, Ember returned to her office and worked on the patient's medical records.As soon as Ember sat down, a nurse barged into her office and began shouting, "Dr. Sanders, hurry! Something's wrong with the patient in Ward No. 3!""What happened?"Ember had a bad feeling about that. The patient in Ward No. 3 was the one she had operated on in the morning. As far as she knew, the operation was successful. "I don't know, Dr. Sanders! Hurry!"The nurse then led Ember to Ward No. 3.When Ember reached the ward, she saw the patient shaking violently. She quickly ran to the patient."Doctor, what happened to my husband?" The patient's wife was very panicked.Ember did not answer her. Her attention was on the patien
Ember knew such a careless mistake would tarnish the reputation of Haverhill Hospital if revealed to the public."Ding!"Maeve and Ember had just reached Maeve's office when the former's phone blared loudly.She tapped on the screen and was stunned when she saw the message."Dr. Sanders, look!"Maeve covered her mouth, clearly shocked. She looked at Ember and turned the screen slowly toward her.Someone had posted the incident online."They're so irresponsible! How could they use defective equipment?""Not this doctor again! This isn't her first offense since she worked at Haverhill Hospital!"…Discussions were abuzz under the post. Many were cursing Ember and her family. Ember ignored those comments and turned off the phone."Dr. Sanders, It's my mistake. I should have inspected the equipment properly."Maeve blamed herself for being careless, but she had no idea how to solve the crisis."Take it easy. It's not over yet. Someone's behind this. I'm calling the police."
"Ah, I get it."They chatted some more before Caleb took his leave.Caleb called Ember immediately after he left the hospital.A moment's hesitation later, Ember finally answered the call."Do you have time tonight? Why don't you join me and Avery for dinner?"Caleb didn't want to bring up the equipment incident, but Ember decided to talk about it nonetheless. "Do you know what happened at the hospital? It's strange. Maeve said the staff in charge was careless, but why hasn't this happened in so many years? It doesn't make sense.""Yeah." Caleb felt the same, but he didn't tell Ember anything at first as he didn't want to offend her."Don't you want to find out the truth? Meet me at Happy Restaurant at noon. I'll let you know my plan."It was an opportunity for Caleb to ask Ember out. He also wanted to investigate this incident as he'd be involved in a project with Haverhill Hospital in the future.Ember arrived at Happy Restaurant at noon.Caleb noticed her when she entere
