How is Jamie doing?"Caleb, sitting next to Ember, became vigilant upon hearing Lugh's name. He couldn't help but fix his eyes on her phone.Sensing his gaze, Ember sighed helplessly and moved the phone away from her ear. Then, she put Lugh on speaker and continued talking to him.Lugh's gentle and calm voice from the phone."I mentioned it to Jamie tonight, but she’s too sensitive.

We talked for a bit, but she became nervous for fear that I would abandon her."Hearing those words, Ember felt upset and her heart skipped a beat.For a moment, the three adults frowned and were deep in thought.After a while, Ember asked, "Lugh, why don’t we slowly integrate Jamie into our lives? We will let Avery spend more time and play with her. Once she

Jamie nodded vigorously with a sweet smile on her face."Yes, I had fun."Ember felt comforted looking at the smile on Jamie’s face.Ember stroked Jamie’s head and asked tentatively, "Jamie, do you hate Uncle Caleb?"When Jamie heard the question, she blinked and looked up at Ember blankly."Did Uncle Caleb bully you?" Ember asked teasingly. "Jamie, you can tell me so I can help you teach him a lesson and make sure that he won’t dare to bully you again."Jamie peeked at Caleb before she quickly looked away and shook her head.Her sweet voice was pleasant to the ears. "No, I don’t hate Uncle Caleb. It’s just that he is unfriendly. Uncle Caleb was mean to Uncle Lugh last time."They met downstairs at Ember's house last time.

At the same time, she also felt the warmth emanating from Ember.She splashed water and suddenly said to Ember, "Aunt Ember, I like you so much."Ember was like a mother to Jamie. She felt comfortable when Ember was bathing her.Her words made Ember smile faintly. Immediately afterward, her heart sank and her eyes were red-rimmed.Unable to resist the urge, she lowered her head and gently kissed Jamie on the cheek. "I’m fond of you too, Jamie. I wish you could be my own daughter so that you could stay with me every day."Hearing those words, she lowered her eyes and scrunched up her head.She pouted and said sorrowfully, "But my mommy doesn't seem to like me. She abandoned me when I was sick."Ember's heart skipped a beat. She almost couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes."How is that possible? Every mother adores her child. Jamie, your mother must have loved you too, but you’re separated for some reaso

As Ember spoke, she took Jamie into her arms.At the same time, Caleb picked up Avery.Ember and Caleb leaned close with each child in their hand and looked at the camera at the same time.Feeling the stiff Jamie in her arms, Ember lowered her head and whispered in her ear, "Jamie, look at the camera and smile."The photo was taken with a click.The waitress gave Ember a photo and said politely, "I'll give you a photo. We will print another photo from the negatives and hang it in the restaurant. Thank you very much for your cooperation."Before the waitress turned and left, she couldn't help but point out, "The two kids look alike. Are they fraternal twins?"Her words startled Ember, but soon she admitted it openly with a smile."It’s true that they are fraternal twins."After the waitress left, Avery returned to his seat and obediently ate his meal.Jamie was sitting blankly in her seat without moving the cutlery.Ember noticed Jamie’s unusual behavior. She lowered her head

Caleb, on hearing Ember’s words, was emotionally overwhelmed and gradually tightened the grip on her hand.He rested his chin on her head and said in hushed tones, "Em, it must have been hard for you all these years."Thank you for bearing me two lovely kids. I love them so much, and I love you even more."Feeling Caleb holding her harder, Ember nuzzled into his arms in response.Caleb was holding his wife in his arms while his son and daughter were sleeping next door.At that moment, Caleb felt immensely satisfied.He only regretted that he still owed Ember a grand wedding.Caleb lowered his head and kissed Ember's soft hair.

She turned over and prepared to get the car.Caleb was awake when Ember answered the phone just now.Seeing her in a hurry, Caleb frowned and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"Just then, Ember had red-rimmed eyes and replied in a choked voice, "My mother is in bad condition. I have to go back now."As soon as Caleb heard those words, he got out of bed with a change in facial expression and put on his clothes.He took the phone over and said, "Em, don't worry. Let’s go back right away."They were at the beach now, and there was no flight ticket back to the country at that moment.Caleb quickly called Allen and ordered in a deep voice, "Mr. Allen, please arrange a private jet."After hanging up the phone, Caleb walked up to E

The news came like a bolt from the blue. Ember trembled all over and fell sideways. She almost blacked out for a moment.Caleb, who had been standing behind Ember in a protective stance, quickly reached out to support her when he saw her falling down."Em..."Ember took a deep breath before she recovered.She looked up and met Caleb's worried gaze. Then, she shook her head lightly and said in a trembling tone, "I'm fine. I just couldn't accept the truth for a moment."Caleb was broken-hearted seeing Ember in such a state.It was heart-wrenching for him to see Ember in pain, as if someone was twisting a knife in his heart.Caleb was worried about Ember's condition, so he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Em, let's go over there and sit down for a while, shall we? I'm really worried about your condition. Nothing can happen to you before your mother gets better."Ember nodded gently. She sat on a bench nearby with Caleb's support.Now that the doctor had to c

Ember sniffled and stopped crying, trying her best to make her voice sound normal. "Mom, I haven't told you yet, have I? Actually, I gave birth to fraternal twins back then.

"Giving up is not our style."Ember looked solemnly at all the researchers present and enunciated, "I know that the research has been fruitless, and you can't help getting emotional. Now, I will give you a chance. You may choose to quit or continue the research."Those who choose to quit will give up this project completely from today onward. I will lead those who choose to continue the research until it is successful."After Ember said those words, the researchers present fell silent, as if they were making a decision with their hearts.Wilson was the first person to raise his hands and answered seriously, “I choose to support Dr. Sanders! I want to continue the research!”After the first person spoke his mind, the other researchers who couldn't afford to give up their previous research results took a stand."Okay, let's continue the research! We have to produce results!"In the following period, Ember accompanied her mother in the hospital apart from spending time in the resea
