Alaric Faulkner initially wanted to admit it directly, but thought that Faye Sterling might make a fuss, so he casually came up with an excuse.
"It was too small for you, I’ll send you a new one."
Faye Sterling breathed a sigh of relief. So this was the reason, as long as Alaric Faulkner hadn’t abandoned her. Original content can be found at novel✦fire.net
She struggled to take off the ring from her finger, then handed it to Alaric Faulkner, saying, "Alaric, here you go. Do you want to measure the size of my finger?"
"No need," Alaric Faulkner replied coolly, then turned and said, "Caleb should be awake now, I’ll go check on him."
Faye Sterling watched Alaric Faulkner’s departing figure, biting her lip lightly.
She had wanted to ask him about his time at the academy with Eleanor Sterling, but unfortunately, Alaric Faulkner left too quickly.
In the hospital room, Mrs. Faulkner was with Caleb Faulkner, peeling fruit for him.
She looked kindly at Caleb Faulkner and asked, "Caleb, why aren’t you speaking? Is there still somewhere uncomfortable? Do you need grandma to call the doctor?"
Caleb Faulkner shook his head, he indeed wanted to speak, but he had to be able to.
At this time, Alaric Faulkner walked in, and Caleb immediately looked at him with a pleading gaze.
Alaric Faulkner also heard Mrs. Faulkner’s words, and he stepped forward and said, "Mom, the doctor said Caleb’s language nerves are damaged, so he can’t speak temporarily."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Faulkner immediately exclaimed, "What! Caleb has become mute? How can this be!"
Alaric Faulkner sighed and explained, "It’s only temporary. He will gradually recover in the future."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Faulkner finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it’s not forever, it’s alright.
Faye Sterling followed behind, hearing Alaric Faulkner say Caleb had become mute, instantly joy surged in her heart, "Alaric, did you say Caleb became mute? Is this true?"
Alaric Faulkner squinted at her.
Faye Sterling then realized her tone was too cheerful and immediately put on a worried expression.
"I’m concerned about his condition, which is why I asked."
That day, Faye Sterling was also there, hearing Alaric Faulkner say Caleb had been poisoned, and wouldn’t be able to say much in the future.
Now he said Caleb can’t speak temporarily, so doesn’t that mean Caleb can’t tell others that she framed him? Not very likely?
As long as she remains Caleb Faulkner’s mother, Alaric Faulkner will never believe his words.
Thinking this, Faye Sterling couldn’t help but curl her lips, feeling elated inside.
Caleb Faulkner had already reached an agreement with Estelle Sterling and Liam Keene, to first lie low and wait for an opportunity, but seeing Faye Sterling secretly rejoicing, he couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
Faye Sterling will expose herself one day.
He won’t give Faye Sterling another chance to poison him.
Alaric Faulkner glanced at Faye Sterling and then slowly withdrew his gaze.
Earlier, he had a moment when he felt that Faye Sterling seemed very happy.
Each time Caleb Faulkner had an accident, Faye Sterling seemed to exhibit a kind of excitement. Could Caleb be right? Was it Faye who harmed him?
But what would Faye’s reason be for doing this?
She absolutely couldn’t harm her own son.
If Faye Sterling wants to establish herself in the Faulkner Family, she still has to rely on Caleb Faulkner, the Faulkner Family’s heir.
Back then, Faye Sterling brought Caleb to the door, and the Faulkner Family did a paternity test, not only between him and Caleb but also between Faye and Caleb.
So he never doubted Faye Sterling.
Perhaps he was just being too sensitive. Faye Sterling was probably just worried, she wouldn’t harm Caleb Faulkner.
