When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 801: Doesn’t Care About Money
Faye Turner also cherished this daughter dearly. After returning, she took Joy from his arms and went with her daughter.
Adrian Lancaster wrapped his arm around his wife’s shoulder, and at that moment, his phone rang. He took it out and glanced at the caller ID, sliding his long finger across the screen to reject the call.
He continued chatting with his wife for a while, "Joy is becoming more lively recently; her personality must resemble yours."
"It’s also nice if she’s like you, steady."
He said, "Girls generally resemble their mothers more, which only leaves the fathers feeling envious."
"Alright, you should get to work. I’ll take care of the baby." Faye Turner knew he had just rejected a call, indicating someone needed him for something.
"Okay." Adrian Lancaster planted a light kiss on both his wife and daughter’s foreheads, then turned around and went upstairs.
Upon entering the study, he stood by the window and redialed the number, "What do you have to say?"
"Boss," the other person reported in a low voice, "in Auranth, twenty years ago, there were nine thousand families who lost daughters."
Nine thousand? That many?
This overwhelming figure staggered Adrian Lancaster slightly with an unprecedented sense of pressure, but he didn’t want to let even a glimmer of hope slip away.
"If we conduct a complete DNA comparison, how quickly can it be done?" Even though it seemed unfeasible, Adrian really wanted to help his wife find her lost family.
"The time isn’t the biggest issue, the main concern is how much it will cost," the person helping him sighed, "and we might not even succeed."
However, in Adrian Lancaster’s eyes, money was never a concern, "I’m asking you, how long will it take?"
The other person thought for a moment and replied, "At the fastest, it would take about a month."
He took only three seconds to decide, "Do the full comparison." Adrian Lancaster said without blinking, "Whatever the cost, coordinate directly with Assistant Shepherd."
"Understood."
He didn’t say anything further, hung up the call, and stood by the window for a long time, gazing at the scene outside. Sometimes Adrian wished he were a deity so he could find her parents directly.
Why is it that the more you wish to accomplish something, the more elusive it becomes?
Where does fate truly lie?
Can they still be found? Can they be reunited?
In Jadepoint, the Xavier Family’s ancestral home, a grand Qing Dynasty-style building, the servants each performed their duties.
Recently, the weather has been particularly pleasant. In this season of blooming flowers, various blossoms are tended by dedicated gardeners, pruning and watering, making the place lively and pristine like an ancient imperial garden.
"Granny, we’ve prepared so many delicacies for you lately." The gentlemanly and handsome Nathan Xavier supported the elderly lady’s arm, accompanying her through the long hallway to the parking area, "Who would’ve thought your favorite is still river fish."
"Isn’t it? That’s the taste from my childhood memories; it’s so delicious," Granny Hughes, her hair elegantly pinned and attire carefully chosen, smiled warmly, "I used to always tag along with my brothers to fish for river fish. It was the greatest joy in my childhood."
Nathan Xavier listened with a constant smile, his eyes sparkling. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Good day to you, madam, and to you, young master," the driver said, opening the car door, while two bodyguards also bowed respectfully.
"Hello, hello," the elderly lady treated everyone without any air of superiority, seeing everyone as a junior.
Today, she was going to the riverside, a long-awaited trip that made her as joyful as a child.
"Granny, be careful." Nathan Xavier was very attentive, supporting, protecting, and accompanying her.
After getting in, Nathan Xavier sat beside his grandmother. The two bodyguards also boarded the car. The driver closed the door, quickly returned to the driver’s seat, and started the engine.
