Chapter 81

After listening to Caleb’s description, Ember quickly walked over to his bed. “Don’t move. I’ll give it a look.”She carefully removed layer after layer of bandages. Some dried blood had stained the deepest layer in red.“I told you not to move! Your wound’s bleeding again. I’ll get it changed later,” she complained as she rolled her eyes at Caleb.“I didn’t do that. What if it’s because my physique isn’t as good, and I bleed easily? Not to mention, I’m now your patient. You have to be responsible for me.”Not only did Caleb not listen to a word she said, he even refuted her.Ember was speechless. “I’ll come over and change the bandages.”Caleb would do something every once in a while. After a few days, he was still at the hospital.Soon, it was Saturday.“Mommy! Take me to the hospital, please! I don’t want to stay at home anymore! I’ll listen to you, I promise. So take me with you, okay?” Avery shook Ember’s arms, putting his little face on hers.“But...”“I promise I’ll li

Chapter 82

Ember simply wanted to end everything with Caleb once and for all, as quickly as humanely possible. She refused to have Caleb as part of her personal life.But she couldn’t even convince herself using that reason, let alone Avery.Avery pouted, slightly upset. “But... He’s not just anyone! He’s my dad!”“Aren’t you going to listen to me anymore? Not to mention, he’s hurt. He won’t be able to go,” she said firmly.She refused Avery’s request again so that their life could return to normal after they severed their bonds with Caleb completely.“Okay, I understand. Just you, then,” Avery relented. He was very mature; he didn’t want to make it too difficult for his mother, so all he could do was to accept it. After that, he jogged back to the sofa. He still looked upset as he sat.Ember suddenly felt her heart hurting. Her son was just too mature.She couldn’t waste any more time with Caleb. She had to deal with this as quickly as possible.“It’ll be fine. Your mom and I haven’t d

Chapter 83

Ember looked at Caleb, considering his proposal. With her power alone, it would be impossible to find the children that had already been sold. There was little hope.Not to mention, she had to take care of both the hospital and the school. She didn’t have the time nor energy to find those missing children.But with Caleb suggesting that he could help her find those children, she would be lying to say she wasn’t moved.Caleb had the finance and the manpower. It was possible for him to find the children with ease.“Are you sure you can find them?” she asked. Even then, she was still doubtful.“It’s fine if you don’t believe me.” Caleb waved his hand, as if it didn’t matter to him.“What are your conditions?” She knew full well that he had his own objective.“No divorce within one year,” he replied immediately. He had been waiting for her to say that. Once she did, he was quick to reveal his motives. “If you agree to it, I’ll send my men out to find those children. I’ll definitely

“No problem. I’ll help you to win Mommy back, Daddy. But you have to work hard too.”Avery spoke like a mature little man, and the two of them exchanged a smile.“What are you two up to again?”There was some distance between Ember and the two, and she couldn’t hear anything since they were whispering.Avery simply looked at Caleb with a smile, saying, “Nothing! Daddy and I are just discussing what games to play.”“You’re my son, alright. You’re so smart!” Caleb gave Avery a big thumbs up.While Caleb and Avery were chatting, the office door suddenly opened.“How are you doing, Caleb?”A familiar voice entered Caleb’s ears. He turned and looked, then noticed Penelope was moving toward him with two packaged meals.“I’m worried that you’re not used to the food here, so I personally made some for you. You should eat some while it’s hot,” she said sweetly.She spoke to him in a coy, babyish voice while looking at him with a doe-like gaze in an attempt to look cute. From Caleb’s

“I want to win Avery over. And her, too.”Caleb was confident.After the two left, Penelope stood there, stunned.However, she quickly recovered. She clenched the meal packages in anger, her face a vicious expression.“Ember... Just you wait! I’ll eventually take back what’s mine!” She then made a call. “Hey, I’ll pay you one million. Do you have the confidence to deal with my problem?”There was a breeze, and the curtains almost reached Penelope’s face as the wind blew. Their soft fabric couldn’t shield the viciousness on her face. Her hatred for Ember was on full display. If she couldn’t enjoy her life, then Ember couldn’t either!“Do it quickly, and don’t let what happened last time repeat! I’ve given you enough this time!” she hissed, her tone distant.“Alright, got it.”The voice from the other side was similarly cold.Two days went by in a blur.“Two days have passed! Why haven’t you made a move yet?!” Penelope roared on her phone, furious. “It isn’t that we didn’t

“Avery, are you happy that I can join your parent-children carnival this time?” Caleb asked.In the car, father and son were chatting away happily. Neither spared a glance at Ember’s cold expression.“I am!” Avery almost jumped up, jubilant.“I don’t have a daddy every time the kindergarten has any activities. Now I have one too!”Ember looked at Avery, and noticed that he seemed to be happier after Caleb entered his life.Soon, they had reached the kindergarten’s entrance. Caleb got out of the car, and picked Avery up.“Avery, you can walk. You can’t always depend on adults,” Ember said.She had always taught Avery to be independent. Even if Caleb was around, she wouldn’t let it slip by.“Alright. Daddy, let me down.”While Caleb let Avery down, he still held the boy’s hand.Avery’s other hand held Ember’s. Finally, they looked like a family.Caleb and Ember’s appearance grabbed the other parents’ attention. As they were both very good-looking, they instantly caught everyon

The sun was already setting, and the sky was getting darker.Many of the parents drove there. Ember’s situation was a bit different, so she had to walk to the restaurant. Luckily, they weren’t that far from their destination. They only needed about ten minutes.“Mommy, all the games are so fun today!” Avery said as he held Ember’s hand, hopping around.The thrill was still inside of him, and hadn’t dissipated yet. He was skipping happily as he walked ahead.Ember smiled, and didn’t say much. “Let’s go. We’re going to eat something delicious at the restaurant.”She pulled Avery’s arm, indicating him to go faster.However, what she didn’t know was that there was someone following them without them noticing. He was staring right at the mother and son.The kindergarten was in the countryside, and there weren’t many people walking around. Doing it there was no doubt the best choice.The mysterious man first looked behind him. Once he was sure that no one was behind him, he instantly

After a while, Caleb also got himself checked in at the hospital.After a series of checkups, they found no injuries on Avery.Caleb followed behind Ember, worried. “How was it? Any problems?” “It’s fine. Avery only suffered a shock.” She held Avery in her arms. He was fast asleep.“Pass him to me.”Caleb walked over to her and paused in front of her, trying to stop her from leaving through the front door.She frowned, not understanding why Caleb was doing that. “What is it?” “Look at your right arm.”After listening to Caleb’s reminder, Ember finally realized that there was a scrape on her right arm. By now, the blood had already dried.“It’s fine. I can deal with a small injury like this at home,” she said. She gave the wound a cursory glance, as if it wasn’t a problem.“Since you’re at the hospital, you should get it looked at.”With that, Caleb took Avery from Ember’s arms.Ember originally wanted to refuse, since she would deal with it later at home. But Caleb alread

The mood was too stressful and strange for Ember, so she had no choice but to change the topic.“Wait, I’ll make a call,” Caleb said.The man handling the case was his acquaintance, Officer Vargas. Before this, he had already asked Officer Vargas to interrogate him.Caleb’s call quickly went through. “Vargas, any news? Have you discovered his motive?” “He wouldn’t tell me, no matter what. He kept on telling me he’s just robbing them. I’ve already spent an hour with him, and I haven’t gotten anything worthwhile yet,” Officer Vargas replied.“Alright, thanks. Let me know if you discover anything new.”After he hung up the call, Caleb shook his head at Ember. He was putting the call on loudspeaker, so she could hear their conversation clearly.The result was not out of her expectations. She had a feeling that this won’t be an easy case to crack.“I’ve called for a few bodyguards. When you’re going home, let them follow you. It’s safer that way.”Since Ember refused for them to s

Chapter 90

In the end, Ember let Lugh send her back.Caleb wasn’t happy with it, but he had no choice other than to accept this conclusion.“Avery, I’m going to send you to school.” The next day, Ember was still worried that someone was spying on them. Thus, she wanted to personally send Avery to kindergarten.“Are you afraid that bad people will kidnap me again? If they appear again, I’ll hit them this time! I won’t let them hurt you!” Avery raised his fist, a vicious expression on his face.When Ember saw it, she smiled.“The police caught the bad men last night. I just want to send you to school. You don’t want me to?” Ember patted Avery’s head, consoling him.She didn’t want Avery to sink into a panic, so she had no choice but to tell him a white lie.“I want to!” Avery hopped happily, cheering. Ember had been very busy in the past, and had no time to accompany him.Just as she took Avery into her car and was ready to go to the kindergarten, a familiar car stopped right in front o
