When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 592: Wanting to Know More About Father
The night is incredibly silent.
The old house is brightly lit, exuding warmth.
On a winter night, the scene outside the window is enchantingly tranquil.
The pristine snow hasn’t melted yet, and now it starts to snow heavily again.
This world seems to slow down, allowing one to immerse deeply in memories, easily reconciling with the past.
Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner decided to stay overnight tonight, which made the elders very happy.
Faye Turner is in the tea room, keeping her grandfather company by playing chess and drinking tea.
Meanwhile, Adrian Lancaster went to the backyard where Eliza Hayes was. After Nanny Warren greeted him, she gently shut the door, tactfully retreating.
"Adrian, have you found any leads on your father recently?" Eliza Hayes cared deeply about this issue, but hadn’t found an opportunity to ask.
Adrian Lancaster sat down on the sofa; he truthfully shared with her the news he learned from Wyatt Lane during his visit to Canada.
Eliza Hayes listened with a heart full of dread, feeling dismayed by the end... Someone deliberately harmed him, so what about...
"Twenty years have passed... can we still find surveillance footage?" Her face turned pale as she murmured in despair, "And what if it’s in a blind spot?" She dared not hold out hope.
Actually, Adrian Lancaster had considered this issue too; before the results came out, he didn’t want to jump to conclusions.
His determination to find his father was strong, and he wouldn’t miss any slender clue.
"Adrian, you need to prepare yourself mentally. Today, your grandfather was fooled by you, but what about the future? Someday, he will insist on seeing his son."
Eliza Hayes worried that grandfather wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.
Actually, Adrian Lancaster also felt this was a major issue, but at the moment, there seemed to be no better solution.
The only solution was to quickly find his father.
"When Dad was young, what was his relationship like with Elias Young? How much do you know?" Adrian Lancaster intended to learn about his father’s youth from his mother.
Eliza Hayes recollected...
"I’m not familiar with this person, but your dad often mentioned him; their relationship should have been okay. At that time, when he founded Apex Group, your dad helped him a lot."
According to what Adrian Lancaster learned, Elias Young was not to be deeply trusted.
He was once grandfather’s friend but had betrayed him in a major project.
He wondered if his father’s car accident was related to him?
After all, the day his father had the accident, he was going to meet Elias Young at the club.
And now, Brandon Lancaster was closely associating with Elias Young, purposefully not stopping it, as part of a long-term plan.
Adrian Lancaster wanted to clear things up and asked, "In Dad’s emotional world, was there only you?"
Eliza Hayes looked intently at her son, "..." What do you mean?
"Mom, I know you were each other’s first love. Were there other women around him? Or those who admired and loved him continuously, or perhaps... a close female friend during his marriage?" He asked, taking an investigative stance.
These words actually touched a sore spot for Eliza Hayes.
And Adrian Lancaster, perceptive as he was, noticed something from his mother’s demeanor. He had no other intentions, only wanting to understand more about his father.
Additionally, he didn’t want to leave out any possibility.
"Mom..." Having touched her sore spot, Adrian Lancaster felt apologetic, and he almost didn’t want to pursue it further.
During a brief silence, while Eliza Hayes hesitated whether to speak or how to begin.
Adrian Lancaster rose from the sofa, "It’s getting late, you should rest early." With that, he began to step towards the door.
"Her name is Claire Keller." Eliza Hayes summoned her courage and abruptly uttered a strange name.
Adrian Lancaster halted his steps, and the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
