When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 423: Adrian Lancaster Is as Happy as a Child
The room was very quiet, and Faye Turner just looked at him...
"It’s very safe here, we are all protecting you and trying our best to heal you," she said to him earnestly.
But there was not a shred of response, the man leaning against the headboard was like a lifeless shell, without any vitality.
She just looked at him, took a few steps forward to the bedside, looking down on him, but still couldn’t give him a sense of pressure.
The man’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
Perhaps because he had been abused for so many years, he lacked a sense of security towards humans, and he had to protect himself.
Faye understood him, reached out to take his fingers, which were thin and brittle from torment, it was quite heartbreaking, even though he wasn’t Adrian Lancaster’s father.
She gently stroked them, yet felt he was pretending too well, clearly conscious but unwilling to reveal the slightest bit.
Because he wasn’t Adrian’s father, Faye felt a bit strange about him, she couldn’t quite understand it herself.
Everything has to start with him, so it is necessary to heal him.
"Dad, there’s a secret I’ve held in my heart for a long time, today I want to tell you," Faye said softly, releasing his hand.
Just looking at him, she said slowly, "I actually... saw you stand up once."
Boom!
Caleb Lancaster’s head buzzed, a flower blossomed within.
Faye keenly caught the subtle change in his eyes, there was shock, unbelief, panic, and fear...
In short, all sorts of emotions mixed together, but he quickly suppressed them.
Faye spoke directly, "Aren’t you curious about when I saw it?"
The room was filled with a long silence...
The man’s heart twisted tighter and tighter.
She didn’t seem like she was joking.
The girl gazed at him unblinkingly, but he slowly closed his eyes, as if he couldn’t understand what she was saying.
Faye felt a little disappointed, he didn’t ask her so she didn’t continue to say more.
It’s like how we can’t wake up someone who pretends to be asleep.
"I believe the nurse’s words, she saw your fingers move," Faye said before leaving, "Just as I believe my own eyes."
"I don’t want to say much more, in short, we’re helping you."
About half an hour later.
After seeing Chloe Gable, returning to the company, Adrian Lancaster went upstairs excitedly to the design department’s main office entrance, but didn’t see Faye’s figure.
"Hello, President Lancaster."
"President Lancaster."
"Where’s my wife?" Adrian asked, puzzled and somewhat anxious, his voice deep and magnetic, "Where did she go?"
"Don’t know, didn’t notice."
"She came to work today, but now... don’t know where she’s gone."
Just as everyone was unaware of Faye’s whereabouts, Nancy Jennings happened to come over, "Hello, President Lancaster."
"Nancy, did Faye ask for leave to go out?" he turned to ask her. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The woman in professional attire honestly replied, "She went out, but I’m not quite sure for what reason."
Adrian Lancaster nodded and turned to leave.
Watching his tall and slender back, countless female designers couldn’t help but be envious, how many lifetimes of blessings would it take to be able to marry him in this life?
After Adrian Lancaster went downstairs and out of the lobby, he didn’t see Uncle Lane’s car.
It seemed he had already left the company.
Just as he was about to pick up his phone to call Uncle Lane, that familiar car drove over, slowly decelerating to a stop outside the lobby, stopping in front of Adrian Lancaster.
Adrian Lancaster looked up, and when the car came to a standstill, before Uncle Lane could help Faye open the car door, he hurried forward.
Faye turned her eyes, saw him through the car window, and couldn’t help feeling a little surprised.
The car door opened.
Their eyes met, this was the first meeting between Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner after the news about his rendezvous with his ex-girlfriend had surfaced.
Adrian Lancaster now knew that she was Shane, his heart was immensely excited, his deep eyes lit with joy, he simply forgot the news about meeting his ex-girlfriend at the café, and even forgot he should apologize first.
