When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster Chapter 794: Love Hurts the Most
"Didn’t you hear it just now?" Caleb Lancaster asked again, gently repeating, "Please bless this one for , the na is Claire Keller, thank you."
At that mont, the woman’s eyes filled with tears; she could no longer restrain her inner emotions.
She understood now; he knew her, he felt her presence. Though he had been in a coma for twenty years, he knew the person by his side was her, Claire Keller.
Caleb’s eyes were filled with the words he wanted to say to her, but perhaps... he too didn’t know how to start.
Seeing the complexity and contradiction in his eyes, and that heaviness... she felt heartbroken.
The ti left for her wasn’t much; every second was precious.
Eliza Hayes would soon co over, so Claire Keller steadied her mind and nodded, "Alright." Her voice was sowhat hoarse, but filled with gratitude.
Soon, she handed the two blessed fortune bags to him, "All done."
However, Caleb Lancaster only took the one intended for his precious granddaughter from her hand, leaving the other in her palm.
Claire Keller’s gaze fell on her own hands, still gently resting a bag...
She slowly raised her eyes to look at him.
He said to her, "Claire, thank you for taking care of for the past 20 years."
He wasn’t emotionless; his eyes also had a mist of tears, with a touch of heartache and helplessness.
Claire Keller adjusted her breathing, refocused her gaze, and softly asked him, "Did you know it was , or did soone else tell you it was ?"
This question was extrely important to her... yet she waited a long ti without his answer.
She let down her outstretched hands in disappointnt, tightly grasped the Peaceful Fortune Bag he had requested for her, with tiny droplets of tears shimring in her eyes.
"I know it was you." That’s Caleb Lancaster’s answer, his voice tinged with apology, "First of all, thank you for saving ; and then..."
"Don’t say you’re sorry!" The woman abruptly raised her gaze, large tears rolling down; she raised her hand to wipe them away, struggling to control her emotions, "I wish you happiness."
Her sudden reaction left Caleb Lancaster slightly stunned; however, he respected her decision and did not continue speaking.
For a mont, the atmosphere was sowhat awkward.
He turned his eyes toward the direction Eliza Hayes had left, as if waiting for her to return.
Claire Keller was a woman with an extrely sensitive heart. At this mont, looking at his familiar profile, her world beca so surreal, her heart suddenly split open completely, wracked with intense pain.
If she hadn’t interrupted his words earlier, what would he have said?
See? She was still conflicted, wanting to hear, yet afraid to hear.
At this mont, Eliza Hayes appeared.
Claire Keller quickly turned around, quietly wiping away her tears, not wanting her to see anything amiss. After all, she was the loser, and she didn’t want to appear too pathetic.
"Caleb, didn’t you say you wanted to go to the restroom? It’s right behind, go ahead, after that we can descend the mountain." Eliza Hayes approached with a smile.
Caleb Lancaster understood her intentions, but faced with his wife’s gaze, he didn’t move. He hadn’t ntioned he wanted to go to the restroom earlier.
Though he didn’t want to deny it in front of Claire Keller and embarrass his wife.
Just looking at Eliza Hayes, she ca to stand beside him, holding onto his arm, "Go on." Her voice gentle, a bit tender, a bit playful.
Caleb Lancaster did not want her to hurt Claire Keller, but clearly, she knew today’s encounter was with Claire Keller.
Caleb Lancaster knew better that twenty years ago, these two won didn’t get along.
Her husband’s reaction left Eliza Hayes sowhat disappointed, though she still smiled. Was that all he saw in her, that she was a cruel-hearted woman?
Would she beat her up here in the temple?
