When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 160: Suspected Target

His understanding made Grandfather feel incredibly sad inside.

Because Grandfather was sad, Adrian Lancaster also felt sad, and couldn’t help but feel a slight resentment towards that girl, Faye Turner.

It wasn’t until leaving Prestige Group and on the way home, that the old man’s brow remained furrowed as he sat in the car, leaning on his cane.

His mind was filled with the image of Adrian’s injured arm he had just seen, such a large area, how serious must it have been at the time?

He hated not being by his grandson’s side, hated not having noticed earlier.

It wasn’t until the car stopped in the courtyard of the old mansion that the old man came to his senses.

After getting out of the car, he took slow and heavy steps towards the villa, his face looking worse than usual, and as soon as he entered, he happened to see Nanny Warren.

"Good day, old master." Nanny Warren greeted him with a gentle and respectful voice.

The old man stopped his steps, and said in a cold and deep tone, "Go and get Eliza Vance, I have something to discuss with her." This level of authority and displeasure was extremely rare for her to see.

Nanny Warren was shocked, watching the old man stride towards the study room, and naturally felt a bad premonition in her heart.

She did not dare to delay, and quickly took quick steps towards the Buddha hall in the backyard.

Eliza Hayes was dressed in simple clothing today, kneeling in front of The Buddha, with her eyes closed, fingers rolling Buddha Beads, appearing quite devout.

After entering, Nanny Warren softly reported beside her, "Madam, the old master has returned, and he asks you to go to the study room."

The woman’s fingers paused slightly, opened her eyes, and turned her gaze.

Nanny Warren met her gaze and spoke softly again, "The old master... is not in a good mood today, his expression is a bit somber."

Eliza Hayes knew that meeting in the study room usually meant something unfavorable.

She put down the Buddha Beads, stood up, and turned to walk outside with a hint of doubt.

Her expression remained cold, as if she was someone who experienced neither joy nor sorrow and was unafraid of what might happen next. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Nanny Warren watched the distant figure, not following along but feeling desolate within, wondering when such days would end.

In The Lancaster Family, Nanny Warren knew all of Eliza Hayes’s secrets and understood all her inner sorrows.

Main villa.

The old master’s study room door was open; he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, leaning on his cane and gazing with a heavy heart at the ancient camphor tree outside.

The lush leaves made a rustling sound in the wind, but his heart was not at peace.

Eliza Hayes entered the study and stood behind the old master, "Dad, you wanted to see me?"

The old man sighed heavily!

He turned around, looking at her with some authority, "What happened to Adrian’s injury on his left arm?"

The questioning tone was filled with concern.

The middle-aged woman faced the elderly man’s gaze, appearing innocent, "What injury?" seeming completely unaware, "Was he hurt?"

"It’s not a recent injury; it’s an old injury, probably a burn," the old man described what he saw in the office today, "His left arm is full of wrinkles, it’s truly shocking!"

Upon hearing this, Eliza Hayes, as Adrian Lancaster’s birth mother, showed no sign of heartache, simply saying honestly, "I really don’t know; I’ve never seen it."

This response made the old man frown involuntarily and rebuke her, "You are his mother, his guardian, you raised him, and something so significant happened, yet you claim you don’t know?"

Eliza Hayes was reproached by the old man for the first time.

This made her feel incredibly sad inside and deepened her resentment towards Adrian Lancaster!

But she did not explain, because Grandfather was in a bad mood.

"The child has grown up and the relationship with the mother has become distant, not as close as it was during childhood, this I can understand."

"You cultivate self-restraint and don’t like engaging with the outside world, Adrian is usually busy with work, I can understand that too."

"However, isn’t your mother-son relationship too estranged? I haven’t seen any interaction between you two, nor do you show concern for his situation at the company!"
