When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 899: Rising Sense of Crisis
Adrian Lancaster sent him back because he clearly understood that Milo was not inherently bad.
In the midst of adolescence, he might not care about his brother-in-law, but he would definitely care about his mother’s feelings.
So, bringing him to Teacher Gable today, Adrian Lancaster believed that he would certainly change.
After leaving his mother-in-law’s house, as he took the elevator down, he put one hand in his pocket and used the other hand to take out his phone and dialed a number.
Soon the call was connected, and he gave a low-spoken instruction—
"Please, starting tomorrow, have someone secretly follow Milo Turner at school. If he goes to a bar or makes some problematic friends, notify me immediately."
"Yes, boss."
Adrian Lancaster put down the phone, the elevator door opened, and he stepped out.
Indeed, with Faye gone, he had the responsibility to take care of her family, especially this little brother-in-law the Turner Family had high hopes for—he was his mother-in-law’s hope.
It’s a critical stage of growth, leaving no room for error.
As long as he, Adrian Lancaster, was around, he wouldn’t allow Milo Turner to follow in his father’s old path.
A few days later, on a sunny morning.
In Jadepoint, at the Xavier Family residence, the golden sunlight shone on the glazed tile eaves, amidst birds chirping and fragrant flowers, insects and birds calling, creating a serene retreat away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Inside one of the rooms, infused with the scent of traditional medicine, Old Mr. Downey was once again preparing herbal medicine. He had been quite busy lately.
But treating diseases and saving lives was something he loved.
The girl lying in bed had not yet awakened, but she was visibly improving. The wounds on her face had healed significantly, and her internal injuries were no longer life-threatening.
Even though she hadn’t regained consciousness yet.
Sunlight filtered through the window lattice, and Mrs. Xavier, dressed in a handmade cheongsam, entered carrying a bowl of freshly prepared millet porridge from the kitchen, mixed with chopped century egg to stimulate appetite.
Old Mr. Downey had specifically instructed to make millet porridge, as it would react with certain herbal medicines to achieve healing effects.
"Madam, why have you come personally again?" Old Mr. Downey quickly came forward to take the bowl from her hands, "You’ve been busy lately, why not let them bring it over instead?"
"Not busy, not busy." She placed the bowl on the bedside table, sat at the edge of the bed, and helped the girl sit up. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Mrs. Xavier had been visiting often since this poor girl was taken into the residence. She was worried about her and would occasionally come to check on her condition.
Seeing the servants not feeding well enough or being efficient, she decided to do it herself, always hoping the girl could eat a bit more.
Old Mr. Downey watched as Mrs. Xavier helped the girl sit up in her arms, then handed the bowl to her.
While feeding, Mrs. Xavier inquired, "Is she doing a little better today than yesterday?"
"She is recovering, though a bit slowly. Traditional medicine emphasizes a gradual and stable recovery without side effects from the medication," the old man said. "If she had been sent to the hospital that day, she likely wouldn’t have survived."
In this regard, Mrs. Xavier trusted him and felt grateful, believing it brought virtue to the Xavier Family.
The Xavier Family particularly believed in virtue and doing good deeds, trusting it would benefit future generations.
At the open doorway, Rhiannon Xavier had just stepped in with one foot, saw the scene at the bedside, and quickly retreated!
Her mind buzzed! The scene she just witnessed enlarged, enlarged, and enlarged in her mind!!
Her mother was actually feeding her... medicine??
What was her mother doing?! Was she trying to adopt another daughter?!
Even if she was desperately missing her daughter, she couldn’t do that, right?
Rhiannon Xavier felt a deep sense of crisis, feeling her blood pressure rise rapidly. She didn’t linger at the doorway for too long, left, and started thinking of solutions.
