When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 874: The Whole World Knows
Even while holding his daughter, Adrian Lancaster’s heart remained focused on the task of finding his wife.
There were already over a dozen salvage ships on the river, both large and small, each highly professional.
Adrian Lancaster’s team had contacted a professional rescue squad to conduct a salvage operation at the riverbed.
The matter was causing an uproar in the news, with media outlets of all sizes reporting, and even some people livestreaming from the riverbank.
Once the salvage team appeared, previous reports of suspicion turned into certainty. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The old Mr. Lancaster saw the news, and in his anxiety, he fell ill and was bedridden, and he didn’t want anyone to tell Adrian Lancaster.
But Adrian Lancaster knew that once the media got involved, the situation would escalate, and his grandfather and mother-in-law might not be able to handle it.
So, amidst his busy schedule, he visited The Lockwood Old Manor and felt deeply pained and guilty when he saw that his grandfather had fallen ill with worry over Faye.
Sitting on a chair by the bed, he held his grandfather’s hand, "..." he was silent, not knowing what to say, feeling very ashamed, guilty towards everyone.
"Adrian, listen to me, if that person really is Faye..." The elderly man’s tears flowed bitterly, his voice choked, "then we must find the killer ourselves and avenge Faye."
Adrian Lancaster nodded resolutely, having not closed his eyes for days, the kind of heart-wrenching sorrow he felt... couldn’t really be put into words.
He calmly reassured his grandfather—
"Grandpa, I don’t believe the bond between me and Faye is just over like this..."
He recalled the words of the fortune-teller, "Grandpa, I later contacted the fortune-teller again, and he said... Faye would reunite with her biological parents in this lifetime, so... she won’t die, right?"
Having lived most of his life, the elderly man knew very clearly.
Some things can’t be stated absolutely by mere words, and the fortune-teller sometimes just gives people a firm belief.
Success depends on human effort and heavenly disposition; he’s not a deity.
But this might be Adrian’s only solace, the fortune-teller’s words at least gave him a glimmer of hope.
So the old man told him, "Let me tell you, the fortune-teller’s predictions are extremely accurate, whether about marriage or future matters, there’s never been any deviation, that’s why he’s so renowned."
This sparked a bit of hope in Adrian Lancaster’s heart again, his Faye was not dead... He initially didn’t believe in such things, but this time, he did.
Upon seeing the news, Chloe Gable collapsed directly onto the sofa, accompanied by two maids arranged by Adrian Lancaster to look after her.
The maids were also very upset, unsure of how to comfort her.
The images broadcasted on television showed numerous professional salvage team vessels floating on the river... a very grand sight.
Her daughter had disappeared just like that.
After finishing his college entrance exams, Milo Turner was out traveling, enjoying himself immensely, and hadn’t been following the news, but his sister’s disappearance made the headlines.
Upon hearing the news, he bought a plane ticket right away and rushed back!
He entered the house using the fingerprint code, "Mom!" he shouted as he rushed in, and indeed saw his mother there.
Not just his mother, there were also two unfamiliar women in the house.
Although he shouted so loudly, his mother remained unresponsive.
He didn’t have time to close the door and slowly walked towards his mother...
He found his mother’s mental state particularly despondent, a state of being deeply immersed in extreme sorrow, her face devoid of color, her eyes lifeless.
Gradually, he heard the news being broadcast—
"As of now, Mrs. Lancaster, Faye Turner, has been missing for four whole days, and the longer the delay, the less likely we are to receive good news, let’s all pray for her."
"So far, the Lancasters have not received a single phone call from the kidnappers, it’s clear the other party is not after money."
