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? Tell me!"The unwavering nurse stood by her initial statement."No o
"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
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
Caleb, not here... Back... In the room...” A woman was lying on the sofa, her beautiful, watery eyes filled with tender affection. The man’s powerful thrust tore apart all her shameful cries... “It’s alright...” Caleb Lane’s black eyes stared right into the woman’s eyes, who was in front of him. His sturdy hands held her delicate waist... After the act of passion, Caleb got up and took out a cigarette, lighting it up. The look in his eyes was vague. “Ember, let’s get a divorce. Penelope is back.” Ember Sanders was stunned as she looked at the cigarette’s burning end. “Sure.” She didn’t question him. She didn’t cry. However, there was a pain that slowly spread out inside of her, and she could feel it in her bones. Before their contractual marriage, she had heard the name Penelope so many times that she was numb to it. In the past three years, Caleb’s recollection of this Ms. Penelope had reached a point where it had transformed into countless voices that kept on rem
‘Caleb... Be safe. ‘My baby... Protect your dad. If he can hang on, I’ll tell your dad about you, alright?’ Ember whispered inside her heart again and again. Greenfield Pub. Everyone was in a panic as the floor was in a mess. Tears were rolling down Penelope’s face as she sobbed and said to Nick, “Is the person you called going to be enough? If anything happens to Caleb, I won’t be able to live anymore...” Nick looked at Caleb, who was having a seizure on the floor with sweat all over his forehead. He then said, “Ember took care of Caleb for three years... She knows how Caleb is doing physically better than any of us here. Not to mention that she’s the one that made the specific drug for his condition.” There was a creak, and the door opened. Ember couldn’t care about anything else and immediately kneeled on the ground, her voice filled with nervousness. “Give me a glass of warm water.” Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm and filled with power. Even Penelope auto
When the car left, Ember clenched her stomach tightly. She gritted her teeth and walked into the hospital as if she had spent the last of her strength.She felt like she was choking as she couldn’t make a sound.The elevator door opened. At this time, the elevator was empty.Third floor… She remembered the gynecology department was on the third floor...Her consciousness began fading...A powerful sense of dizziness came.Thump!Crimson liquid began flowing between Ember’s thighs. She immediately lost strength, and her body went limp. She collapsed inside the elevator.-All she could see was a dark-colored ceiling. It was like the beginning of a movie.The smell of disinfectant... And the sound of wheels squeaking as they rolled on the floor...Ember couldn’t tell whether she was in a dream or back in reality.“Ember... Stay awake.”“Prepare the surgery theater! Get to the blood bank and prepare for a blood transfusion!”“Of course...”In her dreams was Saint Lucia Conv
“The baby...?” “The baby’s fine.” Ember calmed down after hearing that. The baby inside her womb was the only family that she had... The only family she had that was truly bound to her by blood. Lugh had the scent of the sun on him. He smelled nice. Ember held herself up and thanked him. “Thanks. But... Can you keep my pregnancy a secret?” The pale face with a smile of gratitude somehow made Lugh feel upset. He had known Ember for many years and knew that she could be as stubborn as a mule. “Don’t worry,” Lugh smiled warmly, making him look like a gentleman. If he remembered correctly, Ember had married the heir of the Lane family. “The baby is Caleb’s?” “Yeah,” Ember nodded with mixed feelings. Lugh frowned. “You haven’t told him?” He had stayed in the gynecology department for a long time. He could tell what the future mothers were thinking about by just looking at their expressions. “Ember, don’t you want to know why you’re bleeding?” Lugh asked worryingly.
Caleb then recalled her strange behavior last night.He felt regret, worry, and guilt all at once.[What is she there for?][I’m not sure yet.]Rubbish!Caleb stepped on the gas, but his phone slipped. It was a lost cause trying to grab it.When Penelope saw it, she understood the whole thing as if everything had gone according to plan. The assassin she had sent should have dealt with that troublesome woman already.The Maybach sped on the highway like lightning.In less than five minutes, Caleb was already going through the hospital’s main door.There was only one name in his mind. Ember.“Which room is Ember Lane in?!”The front desk was taken by surprise as she was roared at. She then quickly checked and said, “I-In room 302.”The man anxiously reached the room and opened the door.Then, his gaze fell upon the white sheet on the bed.And all he could focus on was the stain of blood on the sheet.“Ah!”Penelope screamed as she covered her mouth with her hands in terro
