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

    Caleb cast a quick look in Ember's direction and nodded. "Got it. You may leave now."He decided to comply with Ember's wish, so he waved his hand and let Zane go."Thank you, Mr. Lane!" After bowing in a hurry, Zane quickly disappeared from their line of sight."You should know who it is, right?" Ember raised her head and looked at Caleb.She saw Caleb nod. It seemed that he had an inkling of who the perpetrator was."It's related to the Fergusons," Caleb spoke slowly.Ember remained silent, indicating her acquiescence.She had guessed that it was related to the Fergusons, but there was no evidence. Now, the truth of the matter slowly surfaced with Zane's appearance."You should deal with that admirer of yours," she remarked.After that, Ember picked up her bag and left without looking back.Caleb knew in his heart that the admirer Ember was talking about was Penelope.As Caleb watched Ember's figure disappear, he picked up his phone and called his assistant.

    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?

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

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!
