Inside the ward, a heart-wrenching cry echoed.
"How did Caleb become an idiot? He had only been in Veridia City for two months before coming to Aethelgard, and now he’s in trouble."
The crying woman was Mrs. Faulkner. Upon hearing about Caleb’s accident, she rushed from Veridia City to Aethelgard First Hospital overnight.
Upon hearing her words, Old Master Faulkner frowned, his face set in a heavy expression, displeased, "Susan Langley, what do you mean? Are you implying we haven’t taken good care of Caleb?"
Facing her mother-in-law, Mrs. Faulkner was somewhat timid; her voice softened, "Mom, I’m just worried about Caleb."
Faye Sterling stood by the side, unable to suppress a smile upon seeing Mrs. Faulkner arrive.
Compared to Old Master Faulkner, Mrs. Faulkner was much easier to fool. Over the past few years, Faye had flattered Mrs. Faulkner, and she treated her quite well.
Now that she’s in Aethelgard, she might be beneficial for her.
Alaric Faulkner stood by the side, quietly comforting her, "Mom, don’t worry, Caleb will be fine."
Knowing Caleb had only been affected by the Three-day Powder, Alaric felt relieved.
At this moment, Caleb, lying on the hospital bed, finally regained consciousness; he opened his eyes.
Seeing him awake, Old Master Faulkner was again tearful, repeatedly thanking, "Thank heaven, my dear great-grandson is finally okay!"
Seeing Caleb awake, Faye rushed over immediately, "Caleb, are you really alright? Let Mommy have a look."
She reached out to touch Caleb’s forehead but was slapped away by him.
"Get away, don’t touch me!"
Caleb showed no trace of kindness. This venomous woman dared to poison him, leaving him unconscious.
Faye put on a hurt expression, choking with emotion, "Caleb, what’s wrong? I’m your mother."
She had already thought it through; the more innocent she acted, the more people would believe her when this little bastard started causing a scene.
Caleb felt like he was going to vomit.
This woman could really act, harming him while pretending to be deeply worried.
At this moment, Eleanor Sterling, in Estelle’s hospital room, upon learning Caleb woke up, immediately rushed over.
Susan Langley saw Eleanor and her face immediately darkened, she gritted her teeth, "What’s this woman doing here?"
Could it be that she intends to use Caleb to get close to Alaric again? She even followed him to Aethelgard; she really has no shame!
Caleb saw Eleanor, and all his grievances surged like a tide, tearfully saying, "Mommy Eleanor."
Eleanor furrowed her brows, immediately stopping him.
She was panting, not knowing what Caleb might have said upon waking.
If he spoke more than three sentences, he would turn into an idiot again, which would be terrible.
She looked at Alaric, signaling with her eyes.
"Two sentences," Alaric responded.
The first sentence was telling Faye to stay away; the second was calling Eleanor.
Regarding Caleb’s Three-day Powder incident, to prevent Old Master Faulkner and others from worrying, Alaric did not inform them, so they were unaware.
Currently, those who knew were Eleanor and Alaric.
Upon hearing Alaric, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, there was still time.
She looked at Caleb and softly said, "Caleb, you can’t talk anymore; just gesture to me if you need anything."
Caleb pouted, reaching out to Eleanor, signaling her to hold him.
He raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, resembling a poor little puppy.
Directly reaching the softest spot in Eleanor’s heart.
Eleanor was momentarily stunned, then extended her arms, pulling Caleb’s small body into her embrace. Chapters first released on NoveI~Fire.net
Caleb’s soft body curled in her arms, and Eleanor felt a mix of emotions.
Unknowingly, Caleb had become so dependent on her.
Faye saw Caleb and Eleanor so close and her eyes filled with malice.
Seeing Old Master Faulkner, she immediately feigned pitiful crying.
Faye stepped forward, pushing Eleanor aside and hugging Caleb’s body.
"Caleb, Mommy will hold you."
