Chapter 271

Caleb understood Ember's urgent desire to develop a special medicine, but he couldn't face the thought of Ember sacrificing her sleep and food every day to conduct research.Ember had lost a lot of weight in a few days, and her lovely face looked weary.Caleb drove to the institute right before dinner."Ember, today is Professor Stone's first day at the Institute with his apprentice. We should rightfully treat Professor Stone to a meal. What do you think?"Caleb gave this reason so that Ember could temporarily relax.Ember thought about it and felt that what he said was logical.It was an honor for the institute to welcome such a well-known figure as Professor Stone."Good. Then let's throw a welcome banquet for Professor Stone today. Since we're inviting guests, we can't just invite Professor Stone alone. I'll call all the researchers of the institute today and go to dinner together."Caleb, of course, had no opinions.He nodded with a loving smile on his face. "Okay, all as

Due to the fact that Susan was Professor Stone's apprentice, Caleb remained polite to her and laughed softly. "Why are you toasting me? We are just strangers..."Susan's eyes were filled with smiles. No one could find fault with her."You may not know me, but I know you. You funded a large number of college students back then. I am one of that group of college students."If it wasn't for your funding back then, I wouldn't be here now. Now that I've seen my benefactor, of course I have to toast you."After saying that, without waiting for Caleb to respond, Susan guffawed some more and looked toward Ember, smiling coquettishly. "I think you won't understand me if I provide you with this reason right, Ms. Sanders?"Ember had been focusing on her food, not expecting Susan to bring up her name.She raised her head and smiled indifferently, with confidence and generosity."Of course. I didn't expect you and Caleb to have such a bond."Susan smiled and replied, "Yes, I didn't expect t

Susan appeared to be inebriated as she raised the wine glass in her hand. The red liquid ran down the corners of her mouth, down her neck, and into her clothing.Derek frowned slightly and worriedly asked, ''Susan, aren't you a little drunk? Don't drink if you're not up to it. You need to continue your research tomorrow.Hearing this, Susan grinned, swayed slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally drank a little too much when I was happy. It's really because I can't control myself when I see Mr. Lane."After saying that, she shook slightly and fell into Caleb's arms, who was beside her.Fortunately, Caleb responded fast. He rapidly stood up, reaching out with one hand to hold Susan, who was about to fall.Caleb's brows furrowed as she bent over, and his face darkened.Ember returned from the bathroom and arrived at the door just in time to see this scenario.She gradually narrowed her beautiful eyes, and she lifted her foot to take a large stride into the room.Caleb's eye

Caleb stretched out and took Ember in his arms, his brow furrowed. "Ember, would Susan's presence impact your work? If it does, I'll go talk to Professor Stone and ask him to send her away."Ember considered briefly before softly shaking her head. "It's better to forget about it."So far, Susan had not done anything unusual other than having ulterior motives toward Caleb.Susan was brought here by Professor Stone. The professor would feel uneasy if Susan were to be sent away for this reason.Ember could still handle the situation so far. Thus, it was better to avoid trouble.Caleb had a serious expression on his face. "Okay. Then I'll leave it alone for now. But if she does anything excessive again, please tell me."Ember was already upset over her mother's situation at the moment, and he didn't want to add to her problems."Okay, I know."Ember discussed her next plans with Caleb when they came home at night after washing up."Although my mother's situation has stabilized, it

When Ember returned to her workplace, she ran into Susan, who was walking toward her.Susan had a smile on her face at first, but when she spotted Ember, it vanished. She looked like she had encountered an enemy as she swept a chilly glare at her.Ember was going to greet her. But when she received a blank expression, the smile she kept at the corner of her mouth dipped.Just as Susan was about to go, Ember called out to her harshly."Do you have time for a chat, Dr. Baker?"Susan turned around violently as she heard her voice, and their lines of sight appeared to meet in the air, as if giving off sparks..Susan raised her chin and snorted disapprovingly. "Fine."The two of them arrived in an empty corridor.Susan took an aloof posture, her arms folded across her chest like a rooster preparing for combat."What do you want to talk about, Dr. Sander?"Ember, on the contrary, had a slight smile on her face, but it did not extend to her eyes."You should know the purpose of com

"Jamie, this flower is for you. Is it pretty?""This flower is so pretty, let's give it to Aunt Ember when she comes back.""Okay. When Mommy comes back, we'll give it to her. But this one is yours. If Mommy has a pretty flower, you should have one too."Ember couldn't help but smile as she heard Jamie and Avery's voices in the yard.She walked in while calling out, "Jamie and Avery, I'm back."When the two children playing in the courtyard heard her voice, they acted like two small butterflies, stretching out their wings and rushing toward her."Mommy!""Aunt Ember!"Ember hurriedly squatted and extended her arms toward the two children who pounced at her.The two of them crashed into her arms.Ember's heart was about to melt as she heard the two children's gentle voices.She caressed Jamie's cheeks and kissed her on the forehead. After that, she did the same to Avery.She asked in a motherly voice, "Did you two miss me?"After spending some time with Ember, Jamie fell in

Gazing compassionately, Ember said softly, "Mom, I brought the children to see you."Avery raised his head, saw his mommy's red eyes, and sensed her feelings. He felt a little sad too."Grandma, I'm Avery. I've come to see you. Grandma, you must get well soon."Would Ember be happier if he chatted to his grandma more and encouraged her to smile?Jamie stood next to him and called out in a quiet voice, "Grandma, I'm Jamie. Are you sleeping? Can you hear me telling you a story? I will tell you a story so that you won't feel lonely and bored on your bed."Ember stood by the side, with a lump in her throat. She was touched as she saw the two children surrounding her mother.How could she have given birth to such two little angels?When they left the hospital, Ember explained the situation to the two."Jamie and Avery, Grandma's condition is a bit serious. I'm going to stay by Grandma's side for a period of time. Are you willing to stay and accompany her as well?"Avery didn't hesi

"I'll go back to deal with my work. Then I'll immediately rush back to accompany you and the children.""I'll wait for you."Ember tenderly hugged Caleb again after sending him to the airport and couldn't help but nag, "After you go back, don't just focus on work. You should also take care of yourself and eat on time."Caleb was reluctant to leave, but he had to.Ember intended to sleep with Jamie and Avery that night since Caleb was absent.The two children laid on Ember's left and right sides, and she carried a picture book in her hand, telling the story to them in a soft voice.Ember was telling the story of a tadpole searching for its mother.Avery had heard that many times before, but he listened closely because Ember was the one speaking.The story was only halfway through when Jamie couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Ember, did the tadpole find its mom in the end?"Jamie stared at Ember with teary eyes, bringing a sudden sadness in her heart."Of course the tadpole found its

"Mommy, I want him to be my tutor."The two talked in unison.Seth was the most attractive and youngest of the three.Given that the two's decisions were made together, the corner of her mouth could not help but curl up in an arc. She just nodded her head in agreement without objecting to the children's decisions."Good. Seth will give you guys lessons from now on, okay?"Jamie glanced up at this tall and attractive young man and smiled widely, displaying her pearly-whites. Two shallow dimples were shown on her little face.After the two children had chosen their teacher, Ember had the housekeeper give her Seth's information.She personally reviewed it and determined that there were no issues. Therefore, she hired him immediately."Seth, from now on, you are in charge of the two children's daily studies. We won't treat you poorly."Seth, who looked scholarly and well-mannered, remained polite and respectful when chatting to Ember. "Thank you, Ms. Sanders. I will teach the two

"Good, I'll make a note of this, when I go to the research institute next time, I'll talk to Professor Stone, I'm sure he likes passionate researchers like you."Wilson had a good old-fashioned smile on his face and smiled. "Thank you Dr. Sanders. I’ll definitely do my best to research the special medicine that can cure your mother as soon as possible."Ember was extremely grateful."Dr. Sanders, it's getting late, why don't I invite you to dinner, just so the two of us can sit down and chat about the research at the institute."When Ember heard this, she didn't hesitate and opened her mouth to consent.However, before she could finish her sentence, a low, mesmerizing male voice emerged from behind her."I'm sorry, Dr. Wilson. I'm afraid she can't make it today as I want to bring her on a date."Ember twisted her head in astonishment when she heard Caleb's voice and saw the man approaching her in wide strides.The corners of her mouth couldn't help but bloom into a smile as she
