When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 664: She’s Very Selfish
The bodyguard was concerned about her safety, feeling somewhat torn.
Faye Turner smiled again and said, "She is a distant aunt of mine, she’s specifically here to visit me. We can’t just stand around in the yard, can we?"
Upon hearing the words ’distant aunt,’ the bodyguard eased his vigilance—turns out she’s an acquaintance.
He nodded and made a gesture of invitation toward the middle-aged woman, very politely.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman looked at the pregnant woman before her, feeling intensely emotional and conflicted inside.
Faye withdrew her gaze and walked inside.
The woman followed her.
The yard was large and exquisitely arranged, with a lawn, an outdoor swimming pool, a little garden, and a fountain—a clear sign of luxury.
After twenty years, the woman was once again approaching the Lancaster Family, encountering them, with the luxury, grandeur, and sophistication exceeding her memories.
Upon entering the living room with her, Faye asked Mrs. Rhodes to prepare tea and a fruit platter, then said to her, "You may go now."
"Okay, Mrs. Lancaster."
After the servants had all left, Faye looked at the woman standing not far away, their gazes meeting once again.
She withdrew her smile, gazing at her, and there was a trace of faint detachment in Faye’s eyes.
This woman had been deliberately avoiding, yet how could Adrian’s people possibly find her?
After spending so much money and effort, and wasting time, it was fortunate she came to them herself.
"Mrs. Lancaster, hello, I am Claire Keller." The woman spoke softly, mustering a lot of courage.
"I know who you are," Faye responded nonchalantly, then looked away, "Sit, let’s sit and talk."
The woman was somewhat anxious inside, after all, Caleb was still ill, alone at home... and the situation was very urgent.
But since Mrs. Lancaster knew who she was, then...
Suddenly, Claire felt a loss of confidence, unsure how to face this and how to explain, but she was indeed the aggressor in this relationship.
Feeling the coldness and detachment from the girl, the middle-aged woman cautiously took a few steps forward, sitting down on the sofa facing her.
"You’ve been looking for me, right?" She didn’t know how to start, so she asked.
Faye answered, "Yes."
"..." The woman felt guilty, "Caleb is still alive, he’s with me."
"He’s ill, isn’t he?" Faye was actually worried, "So you went to find Dr. Aiken?" But being alive is still a good thing in the end.
The woman nodded, "Dr. Aiken recommended I come to you, saying you were a disciple of Old Mr. Downey and might have a solution."
Upon hearing this, Faye’s heart took a heavy drop, so even Dr. Aiken had no solution?
"What’s wrong with him? Is it serious?" Faye tried to control her worry.
Claire raised her eyes to look at her, explaining Caleb Lancaster’s current situation in detail—
"Twenty years ago, he was in a car accident. When I went to the hospital to see him, I suddenly heard someone say offering ten million to take his life, and that they would make a move that night."
"I knew that regardless of whether he survived that night, Caleb was always in danger—the car accident was a conspiracy from the start."
"He was already so badly hurt, in a coma and unresponsive, with doctors declaring a high possibility he would become a vegetable, yet there were still people wanting to take his life."
"To keep him alive, even if just by a thread, I found a way to take him away. I felt only I could protect him, help him escape the Lancaster Family, away from trouble."
"At that time, I thought... nothing is more important than living."
Faye listened to her pouring out her heart, unable to empathize, "You are very selfish, he has a wife, children, a father."
"Yes." Claire did not deny this evaluation.
