Chapter 370: Adrian Lancaster Is Deaf
Eliza Hayes’ face was pale, her mind in turmoil, filled with countless thoughts and speculations.
They must have learned the truth, which is why today’s confrontation happened.
Adrian Lancaster taking revenge for Faye Turner was secondary; the main point was to take away Caleb Lancaster...
What Eliza Hayes didn’t expect was that her actions against Faye Turner today backfired.
Her worst fears had come directly to fruition today!
She couldn’t accept it!
She even got slapped by her son!
Meanwhile, Rachel Sherman was in the hospital room with Faye Turner, guarded by agents arranged by Adrian Lancaster; it was very safe here.
Initially, Faye Turner could sense Rachel Sherman’s tension and unease.
She gestured that Rachel could close the door.
Rachel Sherman got up to close the door, her movements cautious, the atmosphere and aura something ordinary people wouldn’t encounter.
Now the door was closed, and the two friends sat on the bed, holding hands, chatting.
Rachel Sherman had just gone through a divorce, and she looked thinner, which represented a huge setback in her life.
"Rachel, he hasn’t been bothering you lately, has he?"
Rachel shook her head, "No, but his mom came to me twice, asking for money, which I didn’t give."
"You can’t give it; if there’s a first time, there will be a second, you can’t indulge them." Faye Turner was very decisive about this; she was really angry. "Asking for money even after divorce shows they have a hold on your personality."
Rachel sighed softly, "Yeah, they just think I’m easy to talk to."
"Actually, in this world, what we fear most is giving our heart, only to receive a dagger in return." Rachel suppressed her heartache, a bitter smile on her lips.
This statement made Faye Turner think of Eliza Hayes and her actions today; she also felt very hurt.
In the hospital room, the sisters’ hands were tightly clasped together.
Rachel didn’t ask for details about Faye’s situation; the world of the elite was as deep as the sea, perhaps beyond her understanding.
If Faye Turner wanted to speak, she would certainly tell her the details.
And the reason Faye didn’t share was because she feared Rachel would worry for her; today, this child almost didn’t survive.
"Rachel, do you regret the divorce from Dylan Shaw?" Faye Turner knew marriage wasn’t easy, and feared her judgment might be wrong.
Rachel shook her head and replied firmly, "I’d rather have regrets in love than hidden troubles in marriage. Even without Vivian Sawyer, he’d find another woman; those who rise from small beginnings are most prone to drift."
The truth is, women determined to divorce have very clear heads.
"Rachel, you’re so outstanding, you’ll surely meet someone better in the future." Faye Turner held her hand, "Someone will cherish someone as wonderful as you."
But only Rachel knew, the greatest harm someone can cause isn’t that they stop loving you, but that they destroy your courage to love another.
At least, at this stage, Rachel felt that love was as fragile as foam; she didn’t believe in love.
In the ancient Lockwood Old Manor, the doctors Adrian Lancaster brought along lifted Caleb Lancaster along with his wheelchair straight onto the vehicle.
Eliza Hayes wanted to make one last struggle, stepping forward to stop them, only to be restrained by Adrian Lancaster’s agents.
"Adrian Lancaster! Let go of your dad!! Adrian Lancaster! You’re defying your superiors!"
"Adrian Lancaster! You’ve never cared for patients! You don’t understand your father’s situation! He’ll die quicker with you! You can’t save him!!"
Ignoring her shouts, Adrian Lancaster continued with his tasks, not turning back.
Grandfather saw this but did not comment.
The more emotional Eliza Vance became, the more it proved she really wasn’t fit to care for patients.
