Ms. Ember, since you don’t know what’s good for you, I suppose we’ll have to take matters into our own hands.”The leader chuckled as his men immediately surrounded them.They thought that Ember was alone with Caleb. It would be easy to deal with them.However, Caleb simply sneered as he clapped. His security team that was in the car immediately came down, and the men were shocked.“Just you alone aren’t nearly enough. So? Are we still doing this?” Ember’s tone was icy.As she said that, the bodyguards behind her stepped forward, intimidating them.The men exchanged glances with each other and looked at those bodyguards. Then, they calmed down.“We don’t know the result of this yet. Principal Ember. Don’t think that a few bodyguards can protect you!”With that, the leader took out a small knife from his pocket and rushed over. “Die!”The knife was aimed right at Ember. Caleb quickly pulled her into his arms, and his injured hand once again grabbed the knife. He kicked the man
However, the doctor mumbled to herself. “Dr. Ember is married? I thought that she was together with Dr. Lugh.”What she said almost made Caleb go mad, but her next words calmed him down. “Alright. I’ll make it sound more serious and give you some more medicine. It’ll help with your recovery anyway.”Ember came in right after her phone call ended. Before she could even ask, Caleb said with a frown and said, “Em, the doctor said that I’m injured quite seriously, and I might need to get admitted for observation.”Admission? “Only your hand is injured, so why do you need to get admitted?” Ember raised an eyebrow and gave the doctor an inquisitive glance.The doctor felt helpless. She had promised to tell her about his injury being slightly more serious, but she never promised him to be able to get admitted into the hospital!“Well, the injury is too deep, right? And other than the infection, there are also other complications,” Caleb said earnestly, trying his best to make it sound
Penelope rushed straight to the ward and looked at Caleb, heartbroken. Her eyes were glued to his hand.Ember sneered. Penelope had quite the information network, to be able to reach them so quickly.She stared at Penelope as if she could see through her. With a faint smile, she said, “Ms. Penelope, despite your love for Mr. Caleb, please be reminded that we’re still married. This is still a family matter. You can take care of him, but you have no right to blame anything on me.”Family matters?The two words immediately left Penelope feeling choked.Ember adjusted her sunglasses as if she was Caleb’s wife. While her words sounded ridiculous, that was the truth.Penelope’s face turned pale as she bit her lips, looking at Caleb pitifully. However, he simply ignored her.Ember looked at how speechless Penelope was, and she chuckled. “My deepest sympathies, Ms. Penelope. You’ve followed Mr. Caleb around without any standing during the four years that I was abroad. Don’t worry, we’ll
When Caleb couldn’t find Ember at the hospital, he drove directly toward Saint Lucia Convent.However, when he reached the gate, he was stopped by the security guards.Due to what had happened earlier, Ember had increased security for the children’s safety. No one could simply walk into the girls’ school.“I’m here to see Ember,” Caleb said coolly.“Then please give call Ms. Ember first. Without her permission, we can’t let you in.” The security guard said honestly.He suppressed the anger in his heart and called Ember.“Tell security to let me through.”“Mr. Lane, have you received the divorce papers? If you’re not here with the copy, I don’t think we need to meet each other again,” Ember’s tone was relaxed with a hint of indifference.Caleb wanted to say something else, but she had already hung up. His hand balled into a fist, and he punched the guard house’s wall.The security guards looked at him in alert with their tonfa in hand, preparing to move at a moment’s notice.E
Left with no choice, Ember was prepared to call security.At this time, she saw Lugh was coming in.With a wide grin on his face, he greeted the nurse but completely ignored Caleb. He looked at Ember and said, “I remembered that you’ll miss meals when you get busy, so I’m here to remind you. You’re done with the patients?”As soon as Caleb saw Lugh, his expression turned ugly.It was this man again! The godfather of his son!And he was having such a good time with Ember!And Ember, who was treating him so coldly just now, visibly became relaxed after she saw Lugh.“I’m done. Have a seat,” Ember waved at him and moved a chair for him.“I remember you like pork chops? Their cafeteria is out of them. Should I make some for you tonight when we get home?” Lugh said as he raised his eyebrow.Caleb was so angry that he chuckled and gave Lugh another glare. But he couldn’t take it anymore, so he left.At this time, Lugh waved the phone in his hand. “If you encounter something like th
After parting ways with Lugh, Ember returned to her office. She pushed open the window and looked out. Caleb was still there.She pursed her lips. Although her face was expressionless, her heart ached. Something was making her face itch, and so she raised her hand to brush it away. It was tears.Even though four years had passed, she still couldn't help but cry for this man.Despite knowing that it wasn’t worth it.Caleb waited for a long time, realizing he wouldn't see her today. He returned to sit dejectedly on the sofa.His eyes were bloodshot from staying up, and he held his phone tightly, hoping for Ember to answer his call.However, things didn’t happen as he had hoped. He called the number that he had memorized, but they would always be rejected. In the end, Ember was so annoyed that she blocked him.Empty bottles were littered all around him. His personal assistant was so worried he might kill himself if he continued.“Please, sir. Stop drinking.”Caleb simply gave his
Caleb forcibly suppressed his anger, trying his best to ignore Lugh. He looked at Ember gently and said, “Em, we’re married. We should be the ones dancing together!”That instantly caught everyone’s attention as they waited for the drama to unfold.Ember looked at him with her chin slightly raised, but her eyes were icy cold. “You must have forgotten, Mr. Lane. The only thing that’s between our divorce is your signature.”As soon as he signed the divorce papers, they would both be set free.“But we’re not divorced yet!” Caleb insisted, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.With a mocking smile, Ember tucked her hair behind her ear and stared right into Caleb’s eyes. “I don’t understand how you can be so thick-skinned.”Caleb said through gritted teeth, “Em, please don’t.”Ember never expected that despite already sounding so harsh, he still didn’t want to let her go.“Don’t do what? Mr. Lane, looking at the relationship we had four years ago, we should separate peacefully.”Cale
Ember looked at Lugh with her lips pursed. He involuntarily clenched his fists while speaking. While he still looked calm, his eyes never left her.“You are Avery’s godfather in the first place. He’s too young to be able to explain what he meant. Don’t misunderstand it,” Ember said with a faint smile, telling him what her thoughts were indirectly.Lugh laughed lightly. He knew what Ember meant and didn’t want to make it difficult for her.“It’s time to teach Avery how to speak properly. He’s almost ready for kindergarten.”When it came to Avery, Ember cared a lot. “True. After this year, it’s time to send him to kindergarten. Lugh, thanks for taking care of us both for all these years.”“There’s no need to say thanks between the two of us. I’ll send you home,” Lugh said. He knew that, as long as he didn’t force the issue, they could still be friends. And he could be Ember’s best friend.“I'd like to go back on my own,” Ember sighed. Her thoughts were all over the place and she ne
