When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 871: Everyone Is Worried

Even Adrian Lancaster is at a loss, then Faye... I’m afraid the outlook is grim.

Chloe Gable didn’t dare to think further, her breathing grew tense, and tears rolled down her cheeks, "Adrian, Mrs. Rhodes made you breakfast. No matter what, you should eat a little."

He is the backbone now; he cannot collapse.

"..." Adrian Lancaster didn’t know why she came, but it seemed she knew something had happened to Faye. He initially didn’t want the family to worry, so he hadn’t told anyone.

"Mom." He calmly asked, "How did you find out?" He already had a guess in his heart and felt deeper concern.

The middle-aged woman softly said with sadness, "I saw it on the news; it’s on the headlines."

Only then did Adrian Lancaster realize. He picked up his phone and opened the web page, finding it filled with news about Mrs. Lancaster’s suspected disappearance.

At this moment, his grandfather’s call came in. The ringtone startled Adrian Lancaster, making his fingers tremble slightly; he dared not answer because he didn’t know how to respond.

He had promised his grandfather to take good care of her, but... he lost her.

The ringtone continued... sounding a bit urgent.

But if he didn’t answer, the old man would worry even more.

So, Adrian Lancaster calmed down, glanced at Chloe Gable at the door, turned to walk towards the window, and slid to answer the call, "Hello, Grandpa."

"What’s going on?" The old man was frantic on the other end of the line, "What happened to Faye? Is she missing? How could she be missing?! Such a big living person! Is what’s written in the news true?"

Adrian Lancaster felt his body stiffen as if something was silently shattering; he comforted the old man, "Grandpa, please don’t worry yet. I am already sending people to search."

"So, she’s really missing, almost 24 hours, right? How can you expect me not to worry? I’m not worried? Can I not be worried?! Such an important matter, and you kept it from me!!" The old man was furious, so anxious that even his voice was trembling.

Adrian Lancaster didn’t know how to explain. After staying up all night, he felt he was about to collapse.

The silence of his cherished grandson made the old man calm down a bit and understand his feelings.

"Adrian, listen, no matter what they want, you agree!" Grandpa lowered his voice, emphasizing humanity, "No matter how much money!"

Adrian Lancaster wished the other side would make outrageous demands, but unfortunately, they hadn’t even called once. He had prepared a huge ransom but had no chance to give it.

"I understand, Grandpa." Adrian Lancaster replied.

Meanwhile, Chloe Gable slowly walked into the master bedroom; the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, indicating that Adrian hadn’t been to bed all night.

Seeing him hang up the phone and turn to look at her, she instead comforted him, "Mom, don’t worry either. I will definitely find Faye."

How can you not worry?

Although Chloe Gable didn’t give birth to her, she raised her personally; this feeling... is truly deeply ingrained. Faye Turner is her daughter, closer than if she had been born to her.

She would rather have been the one in trouble than Faye.

"Adrian, why don’t you go downstairs and eat something?" The kind mother-in-law also comforted him in return, "Your health is also important. With Faye not here, you can’t fall apart; Joy is still young. Without a mother, she can’t have no father too."

Mentioning his daughter, Adrian Lancaster’s heart was clearly pricked again. He followed his mother-in-law downstairs, and in the living room, seeing his daughter looking lively and adorable, he found himself momentarily unfocused.

Mrs. Rhodes holding the child, transitioned from sadness to a smile, quickly reporting, "The young miss just woke up and had some baby food. Sir, why don’t you have breakfast too?" She sincerely hoped he could eat more for his daughter’s sake.

Adrian Lancaster walked over, "Give me the child; I’ll hold her." His voice was hoarse, suppressing deep grief inside, feeling especially sorry for his daughter.

Mrs. Rhodes carefully handed the child to him, maybe it was only at this moment that his heart found a sliver of consolation.
