When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 905: Her Finger Moved
But Nathan Xavier quickly came to his senses, and as he looked at the elderly man beside him, he expressed his gratitude once again, "Thank you, sir, for all the hard work during this time."
Rhiannon Xavier felt uncomfortable hearing this; what was there to be thankful for?
The woman wasn’t related to him in any way.
The old man’s joy stemmed from saving another life, particularly snatching this one back from death’s doorstep, and the recovery of her appearance pleased him greatly.
Nathan Xavier didn’t linger here for long. After bidding farewell to the old man, he turned and left. Rhiannon Xavier turned and followed him once more—
"Brother!"
"What is it?" In the courtyard blooming with flowers, the man stopped and glanced back at her, his gaze somewhat distant.
Rhiannon Xavier stepped forward a few paces and stopped in front of him, "Brother, I’ve decided not to go abroad..."
"I know." Didn’t they talk about this that night?
She hadn’t finished speaking when he interrupted.
When dealing with her, Nathan Xavier never seemed to have patience. Rhiannon could sense this, but she still bravely spoke her mind—
"Brother, could you arrange a position for me? I want to work at the company."
"I’ll ask HR, see if they’re still hiring." Nathan Xavier said in a gentle voice, then walked away.
"..." Staring at the man’s retreating figure, Rhiannon Xavier was dumbfounded.
What? Ask HR?? He’s the boss, and he needs to ask HR? Is this how he treats his family?
Having hit a wall with their mother the day before, today she was even more frustrated by her brother’s response.
At this moment, in the room filled with the fragrance of herbal medicine, the girl lying on the bed slightly moved her fingers that rested outside the covers.
This detail did not escape the maid who was looking towards the bed, her eyes widened, and she held her breath, staring!
She almost thought she was seeing things!
Movement, real movement!
"Old Mr. Downey! Old Mr. Downey!" She exclaimed with a heart full of excitement, turning to run towards the door, "She’s moving! The young lady’s fingers are moving!"
The old man, drying herbal medicines in the courtyard, turned his head at the sound, put down the medicinal pieces in his hand, and hurried into the house!
Everyone soon gathered around the bed. Although the girl lying there had her eyes closed, her fingers outside the cover were indeed moving visibly.
Old Mr. Downey and the two maids were witnessing this situation for the first time, and their joyful feelings were indescribable!
Everyone was excited, their faces full of delight. Another maid said, "She’s moving, she’s moving, this is wonderful, truly wonderful!"
Old Mr. Downey sat in a chair by the bed. His wrinkled hand gently grasped the girl’s delicate fingers, and then he leaned forward to softly call to her, "Young lady, young lady...?"
The two maids were also bent slightly at the waist by the bedside, their hopeful eyes fixed unblinkingly on her lotus-like face.
Everyone was waiting for a miracle to happen.
"Young lady, can you hear me?" Old Mr. Downey patiently and gently inquired.
The fingers held in his palm still moved ever so slightly from time to time; she had some awareness.
Though the movement wasn’t large, it was the first response she had shown since being rescued by the Xavier Family and after long treatment.
This was the hope of her awakening.
"Young lady?" Old Mr. Downey continued to softly and patiently call, "Young lady, can you hear me? Can you open your eyes and take a look?"
The girl’s closed eyes lying in bed subtly moved as if responding.
"Quick, close the door, draw the curtains!" The old man recalled, sensing her awakening, and hurriedly instructed the maid beside him, "We must protect her eyes."
