Chapter 1488 - 1480: As Far as the Eye Can See, Forever (Part 1)
In the VIP ward, Joseph Lancaster lay calmly on the hospital bed, over thirty hours had passed, and he still hadn’t woken up.
Since he was wheeled from the operating room to the ward, Violet Zimmerman had been by the bed, not touching a morsel.
The food Aunt Zhang brought was perfectly placed on the table, her son Evander Lancaster and daughter-in-law Sophia Hamilton came to persuade her several times, but she always said, I’m not hungry.
Clasping Joseph Lancaster’s hand tightly, Violet Zimmerman murmured, "Joseph... if you leave, what will I do..."
They had agreed to retire and settle abroad together, if he were gone, she’d be left alone, wherever she went, she’d be solitary and lonely.
Sophia Hamilton stood at the doorway of the ward, coming over more than once, each time seeing the same scene.
Watching her mother-in-law Violet Zimmerman touch Joseph Lancaster’s lips gently with a water-soaked cotton swab, Sophia Hamilton let out a long sigh, quietly closed the door, and turned to leave.
In Evander Lancaster’s break room, after pulling him inside, Sophia Hamilton locked the door. These past two days, Evander Lancaster had also looked drained, his phoenix-like eyes somewhat hollow.
Facing Evander Lancaster’s phoenix-like eyes, Sophia Hamilton took a deep breath in and exhaled heavily, saying, "Speak up, I want to know everything."
Evander Lancaster understood what she wanted to know, his tired eyes gazing at her, he said faintly, "If I tell you the truth, would you be disappointed in me?"
Disappointed in his parents?
Sophia Hamilton helplessly pursed her lips, "Evander Lancaster, am I that superficial?"
"Alright, I’ll tell you slowly."
Evander Lancaster pulled Sophia Hamilton’s hand and together sat on the sofa, his long arm wrapped around her waist, as he recounted the past events he’d heard from his elder brother...
A full house, that describes Violet Zimmerman’s wedding.
The Lancaster Family, a legendary presence in T City, but what made Violet Zimmerman happy was not her status as the Lancaster family matriarch, but Daxton Lancaster, this man.
Watching her husband mingling among the guests, Violet Zimmerman’s lips curved with a happy arc, her gaze following perfectly.
Gentle like jade, looks like an exiled immortal, couldn’t be more fitting for Daxton Lancaster.
When he smiled, those phoenix-like eyes seemed filled with spring water, so tender it made hearts ripple uncontrollably.
"Sister-in-law, big brother asked me to escort you back first."
A young man in school uniform approached, it was Joseph Lancaster.
Just over twenty this year, still in college.
"Why isn’t Daxton coming with us?"
Violet Zimmerman asked in confusion, Joseph Lancaster smiled, the friendly grin on his face was akin to his elder brother Daxton Lancaster, yet the emotion in his phoenix-like eyes was different.
Daxton Lancaster was her husband, when he looked at her, his phoenix-like eyes were filled with affection, while Joseph Lancaster’s phoenix-like eyes were clean.
"Big brother fears you’re tired, he asked me to escort you back first."
Seeing the disappointment on Violet Zimmerman’s face, Joseph Lancaster hurriedly added.
"There are too many guests from the Lancaster family, big brother’s worried you’ll get drunk."
Only then did Violet Zimmerman feel relieved, when attending others’ weddings, both bride and groom would toast guests together, but at her own, it was only the groom toasting guests, she thought he didn’t like her.
Joseph Lancaster voluntarily helped his sister-in-law stand up, the uncle and sister-in-law walked towards the banquet hall entrance together.
In the hall, as if sensing something, Daxton Lancaster turned to look at the departing figures together, the smile vanished from his lips, his phoenix-like eyes tightened, a profound meaning quickly flashed by.
Returning to toast the guests, he resumed a gentle demeanor.
