When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 711: She’s Really Smart

Actually, he felt he was fine and wanted to come over to accompany his wife, but Eliza insisted he rest more and didn’t want to see him.

In truth, she didn’t want her beloved to see her so weak and haggard.

Lying flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling, Caleb Lancaster’s thoughts wandered.

Since he could remember, all memories have been incredibly clear in his mind; he knew that his father adopted this sister.

But he always treated her as his real sister... The year he joined the company, he also brought his sister into the company.

He never expected that she would get involved with Elias Young and refuse to change, and in the end, they even plotted to take his life to take over Prestige.

Thinking of this, he felt incredibly cold and heartbroken...

He also recalled last night, his sister’s actions, causing his heart to ache.

Recalling Eliza risking her life to shield him from a knife, Caleb felt profoundly shocked.

It turns out her love for him was deeper than he imagined...

A person with no blood relation, willing to risk life and limb to block a knife, must possess a very deep love indeed.

Thinking of Claire Keller, who had accompanied him loyally for twenty years, Caleb’s heart grew complex, suddenly tinged with sadness.

He had actually always been conscious.

So every word Claire Keller said by his bedside, he heard and remembered.

Claire Keller loved him no less than Eliza loved him.

If Claire had been there last night, she too would have shielded him without hesitation, wholeheartedly.

To him, this was a heavy burden.

Caleb Lancaster always knew he was a married man, so he kept a distance from Claire Keller.

But people are emotional and conscientious.

He was moved by the twenty years of loyal care and companionship.

And even after returning to the Lancaster Family, he hadn’t opened his eyes to look at her once, nor thanked her or apologized directly.

To Caleb Lancaster, this was also regrettable.

Various emotions intertwined in his heart, weighing him down, as his illness had not yet healed.

It wasn’t until Faye Turner appeared at the door, and the maid inside saw her, hurriedly greeting her, "Hello, Madam." The tone was full of respect.

Caleb snapped back to reality, seeing his daughter-in-law Faye Turner enter, he propped himself up with one hand and leaned against the headboard with the maid’s help.

"Dad." Faye entered the room, demure as a daughter, "Are you feeling better? Do you have any discomfort? Please tell me."

"I’m quite okay, I’m just worried about your mom, how is she now?"

Caleb looked at the IV bottle, the medicine dripping inside. "Whether I have this drip or not doesn’t matter, but the doctor said it would help a bit."

"Then let’s follow the doctor’s advice," she said with a smile.

"How is your mother? Has she hurt anywhere else? The scissors were sharp and long, could the wound get infected?"

Faye shook her head, "No internal organs were hurt, there’s a slight fracture in the bone of her back, but it will heal with rest. These are minor issues and just need some time, so don’t worry too much, it will get better day by day."

Seeing his daughter-in-law’s wise and courteous manner, Caleb suddenly had a thought, feeling the timing was right.

He wanted to ask her something.

So, he said to the maid, "You can go out first, make Madam a cup of tea."

"Yes," the maid bowed and left.

Faye stood before the bed, meeting her father-in-law’s gaze.

She didn’t say she didn’t drink tea, nor that it wasn’t necessary to be so polite. Clever as she was, she already sensed her father-in-law wished to speak about something.

"Dad, please ask." Faye spoke softly, knowing the maid would return shortly, "Is it about whether we met Auntie Keller again?"

She really was so smart!!

Caleb was moved, hanging on the IV, leaning against the headboard, staring at her without blinking, his eyes full of emotion.

He didn’t deny his daughter-in-law’s question.

Indeed, today’s topic he wanted to discuss pertained to Claire.

Faye didn’t want to make him feel awkward, so she smiled, speaking in a light tone, ready to share all she knew.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know much, only about those few letters.
