Chapter 326: Still Hoping Things Will Get Better
However, Eliza Hayes’ determined expression made Adrian Lancaster a bit uncomfortable.
Faye Turner quickly stood up and gently took the man’s arm. She remained silent, only looking warmly and calmly at the middle-aged woman.
Nanny Warren also stood up from her chair.
Adrian Lancaster didn’t respond and continued to gaze at his mother unwaveringly.
Eliza Hayes remained firm in her stance, saying directly, "There’s nothing to be seen here; you’re not a god. You can’t cure him. Seeing him more will just increase the risk of infection."
It seemed that regarding their father, his mother’s attitude had never changed.
Adrian Lancaster nodded, without insisting, "Then we’ll be leaving now, goodbye." After speaking, he turned and walked out with Faye Turner.
Before leaving, Faye also politely bid them farewell.
The young couple was left with some doubts in their hearts. Comparing their mother’s earlier and current attitude, they both had a bad premonition.
After dinner, Evan Sharp received a phone call and left, mentioning that he would visit Adrian Lancaster at the company the next day.
In the Lamborghini on the way home, Mr. Kerr drove while Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner sat in the back seat.
Adrian turned his gaze to the outside, clearly lost in thought.
Faye looked at the handsome side profile of the man, seemingly guessing what he was thinking, yet unsure how to start the conversation.
Was he feeling very sad?
Perhaps, as long as it didn’t involve treating Mr. Lancaster, Mrs. Lancaster was willing to coexist peacefully with everyone.
Eliza Hayes obviously didn’t want her involved in Caleb Lancaster’s matters, not even letting her son get close.
But as a doctor with a compassionate heart, especially when the person involved was Adrian’s father, Faye Turner’s conscience was deeply troubled; she couldn’t sit idly by.
"Adrian."
Calling his name softly, Adrian Lancaster withdrew his thoughts and turned his gaze to her.
In the warmly lit car, the couple locked eyes.
Faye told him, "Your mom called me proactively to come home and check Nanny Warren’s pulse, and she even said her health improved noticeably after drinking the herbal medicine I prescribed."
He listened earnestly, and a brief silence filled the car.
Until she asked, "What caused this change in attitude?"
In fact, Adrian Lancaster was also quite puzzled by this.
It was something he’d been thinking about all along, and after a while, he pulled her shoulder close and gently advised, "Be careful and take care of yourself."
His affectionate gesture and words of concern made Faye Turner’s heart feel warm.
At such a close distance, meeting his gaze, she really wanted to ask him if he had... started to fall in love with her.
But Faye ultimately restrained herself because the mood didn’t seem right.
"Don’t overthink it." She wrapped her arm around his again, smiling as she comforted, "The fact that your mom is serving us soup and can talk more with us every time, no longer that cold attitude, is already a big change. We need to give her a little more time."
How kind-hearted she was.
Hearing this, Adrian Lancaster looked at her kind and radiant smile, feeling quite touched inside.
When he saw the necklace he gave her yesterday around her neck, he felt quite happy as well.
Turns out, giving someone a gift that they accept and cherish is such a joyful thing.
So he took her hand, intertwining their fingers.
Seeing her slightly rounded belly, Adrian Lancaster felt a sense of warmth and homeliness.
She gently leaned her head on his shoulder, asking him with concern, "You must be very busy lately, right?"
"Yeah." His voice was gentle, "It’s alright."
"Have you selected the spokesperson yet?"
"Not yet, this matter is left for Dustin Shepherd to handle, and results should come soon."
Faye curiously asked, "What is your ideal spokesperson like?"
"First, they must have inner beauty, with no scandals, clean family background in all aspects, and cognitive depth and thoughts are also important. There’s no shortage of pretty faces in this world." Adrian Lancaster values substance.
To the outside world, she’s just a spokesperson, but actually, she carries a mission. She has to present a perfect product even more perfectly to the public for customer acceptance.
On the way home, the two chatted, with a light and joyful atmosphere, gradually forgetting Eliza Hayes’ earlier disallowance of him going upstairs to visit his father.
Adrian Lancaster seemed to have gotten used to Faye Turner’s presence. He even found it hard to remember what his life had been like before, being alone...
