When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 529: Adrian Lancaster Faces His Inner Self

The private jet floated at thirty thousand feet in the air, and Adrian Lancaster turned his gaze to look outside the window, his eyes deep and boundless.

At this moment, he was more worried about Eliza Hayes...

The images of the ruins in the news kept haunting his mind.

A fear of losing his mother enveloped him, and he stared at the clouds outside, biting his lip, trying hard to hold back the sting in his eyes.

In recent times, since his mother changed, she had been making dumplings for him, cooking fish soup, bowing and scraping, smiling at him...

Yet he always responded coldly, not even giving her a proper glance.

Adrian Lancaster’s heart was suddenly pricked with pain.

He felt some regret for his cold reaction... After all, she was his mother. In the past, he had yearned so much for motherly love.

But now...

His mother was in the earthquake, her fate unknown. He might never have a mother again.

His mother was searching for his father’s whereabouts, looking for the doctor named Wyatt Lane... Adrian Lancaster’s heart trembled softly.

If he lost his father, and now his mother too, he would be an orphan.

"Would you like to rest for a while?" Faye Turner could feel his sadness, and she gently covered him with a thin blanket, "Close your eyes and take a nap, okay?" She was particularly sympathetic to him.

But how could he fall asleep?

He was very worried about Eliza Hayes. He was terrified of loss, deeply saddened, his head pounding, his nose tingling as his heart trembled lightly, and his vision blurred.

"You don’t need to worry about me, let me be quiet for a moment." As he spoke, he leaned into the seatback and closed his eyes.

Some emotions, he had to digest on his own.

On the way to Canada, Faye Turner was also tormented inwardly. She regretted it greatly. If it weren’t for her asking her mother-in-law for help, her mother-in-law wouldn’t have come over.

About a dozen hours later...

In a town of ruins, a rescue team with expert guidance entered. The latest people rescued were often the lucky ones, those buried in the shallow layers of the rubble.

Each of them was covered in dust, some missing arms or legs, their faces blood-stained, but still breathing.

There were also those whose lives were completely frozen in this earthquake, having stopped breathing when they were carried out.

In short, the scene was extremely tragic.

The private jet landed safely at a nearby airport, and as soon as they got off the plane, Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner tried to contact Eliza Hayes.

They dialed her phone repeatedly, as well as the phones of her subordinates.

There was no signal at all; the calls couldn’t get through.

What was certain was that they were in the earthquake zone, their lives hanging in the balance.

Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner took a taxi to a nearby town, watching the rescue teams going in and out, and staring at the caution tape. Adrian Lancaster was a bit dumbfounded.

This man who could control everything in Argent, in the face of great disasters, appeared so fragile and small.

Finding his mother was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, ordinary people weren’t allowed in. There were aftershocks, and all around were sounds of sorrow, cries, pain, and groans...

This atmosphere was incredibly sad.

"Adrian..." Faye Turner reached out to hold him, lightly resting her cheek against his chest. She was also extremely sad, not knowing how to console him.

At this moment, Eliza Vance, who had narrowly escaped with her subordinates, was walking with lingering fear towards an area with a signal.

They had just reached the edge of the town when the earthquake struck and were not at the epicenter, so they weren’t injured; some houses were tilted but hadn’t collapsed yet.

Due to the earthquake, roads were cut off, there were no cars, and there were continuous aftershocks.

"Madam, be careful..."

The three of them were covered in dust, and Eliza Vance’s shoes had their skins worn off, but fortunately, none were injured, and they cautiously headed towards what they thought was a safe area.

Because of some delays, they hadn’t reached the earthquake’s center at the scheduled time. As they just reached the edge of the town, the earthquake occurred, which could be considered very fortunate.

"Doctor Wyatt Lane, most likely..." Eliza Vance stopped, glanced back at the ruins, and was full of regret for being late.
