Chapter 206: Chapter 163: Lucas Warren, He’s Back 1

Faye suddenly recalled Richard’s expression this afternoon when she mentioned Walter Hansen to him.

He left in a hurry and told her not to interfere in matters concerning Walter Hansen.

She clearly remembered that Richard and Walter Hansen used to have a good relationship.

But why did he react so strongly?

Obviously, he wouldn’t have gone to catch up with Walter Hansen.

What on earth happened then?

Faye lifted her hand and lightly bit the knuckle of her right hand.

On the other end of the phone, Eliana sounded very guilty: "Director Townsend, I’m really sorry, I didn’t complete the task you gave me. What should we do now?"

Faye smiled: "It’s okay, Brooke, don’t worry about it. I’ll find a way to solve it.

Anyway, the money is with Richard and wasn’t stolen or robbed. Don’t worry about it.

It’s so late, get some rest. I’ll handle contacting Richard."

"But..."

"No buts, it’s okay, hang up and go to sleep."

Although Eliana felt uneasy, she listened to Faye.

After hanging up, Faye immediately called Richard, but the phone indicated it was turned off.

Faye sighed, Richard really doesn’t let people have peace even for a day.

Hunter came back shortly, handed the boss lady a hundred bucks, got the change, and the two left the roadside stall and got into the car.

On the way back, Faye wasn’t as talkative as before; she was noticeably more silent.

Hunter reached out to hold her hand and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Faye pouted, looking at him: "Do you remember the driver named Walter Hansen who used to work for my family?"

Hunter thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don’t really remember, what about it?"

Faye thought for a moment and said, "Today Richard went to Malaysia, and it seems like he went to find that Walter Hansen."

"Why look for a driver?"

"Earlier, Clara happened to meet Walter Hansen in Malaysia and found our family photo in the wallet he dropped.

Then today, when Richard came to my office and saw that family photo, I told him it was found at Walter Hansen’s place, and Richard started acting a bit strangely.

Just now, when you went to get money, Brooke called me and said Richard went to Malaysia with the money.

I just can’t figure out what Richard is doing by looking for Walter Hansen."

"Did they have any unresolved issues before?"

Faye shook her head: "No, on the contrary, when Walter Hansen worked as a driver for our family, he had a good relationship with my brother. My brother often took him out for fun.

Oh right, I heard from Clara that Walter Hansen is doing quite well in business in Malaysia now.

But he has a rule; he rarely cooperates with people from Eldoria and never with people from Anchester.

So, Clara was also turned away by him.

I really can’t understand it. When you become successful outside, shouldn’t you think about developing your hometown? Why is he so averse to Anchester?"

Hunter raised an eyebrow: "Two possibilities: either he was hurt here, or he hurt others here. Which do you think it could be?"

Faye suddenly remembered when Walter Hansen confessed his love to her years ago.

Could it be because of her? No, that’s impossible. Walter Hansen continued to work at her house for a long time after that.

If he wanted to avoid something, why didn’t he do it earlier?

This doesn’t make sense at all.

"Does Walter Hansen’s matter concern you a lot? If it does, I can have someone investigate for you."

Faye bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Let’s wait until Richard comes back."

"Then don’t overthink it for now. Spend more focused time with me when you’re by my side, and I’ll be happier."

Faye turned her head to look at him, gazing intently: "Is this okay?"

"Not bad, I’m quite satisfied."

Since it was already very late, after the car returned home, even though Hunter wanted her to stay with him, she hadn’t seen her children yet, so she declined.

He watched her return home alone with a sense of loss, then drove back to his place to rest.

Around two in the morning, his phone suddenly rang.

If someone calls in the dead of night, it’s mostly an emergency.

Hunter groped in the dark to answer his phone: "Hello."

"Master, it’s Uncle Rivers. Something seems off with our young lady. Can you come over, please?"

Hunter instantly became alert.

He jumped up from the bed, turned on the light, changed clothes, and went out.

Uncle Rivers opened the door for him at the entrance. Seeing Uncle Rivers, he asked urgently, "What’s wrong with Faye?"

"Since one o’clock, the young lady has been feeling nauseous and vomiting. She just started having stomach pains again. I took her temperature—she has a mild fever.

I suggested taking her to the hospital, but she’s stubborn, saying it’s nothing, maybe just a chill in the stomach, and that she’ll be fine after enduring for a while.

But when I went to her door just now, I heard her groaning as if she was really in pain.

Ever since she bid farewell to the master and mistress at the hospital, she has been very afraid of hospitals.

Coupled with the fact that Miya has spent almost all these years in hospitals, she says she hates hospitals the most.

I didn’t dare make the decision to send her to the hospital, so I could only call you."

"Uncle Rivers, you’re really being reckless. What if something serious happens?"

Hunter said as he ran upstairs: "You stay here and take care of the two children. I’ll take her to the hospital."

"Alright, Master."

Hunter pushed the door open and entered Faye’s room. She was lying on the bed groaning. When she saw him, she tried to open her eyes with effort but still looked weak: "Why are you here?"

Even her speech was weak.

Without saying a word, Hunter stepped forward, pulled back the covers, and lifted her up horizontally.

Faye frowned, using a powerless voice to ask: "What’s happening? Where are you taking me?"

"To the hospital."

Faye’s head slightly rested on his shoulder: "No need to make such a fuss. I’m fine; I just need to rest a bit."

"Don’t talk, follow my arrangements."

Hunter said as he carried her out the door and placed her in the front passenger seat.

He reclined the seat to make her as comfortable as possible before driving to the hospital.

Tonight, Roman Hughes wasn’t on duty at the hospital, so he wasn’t there.

Medical staff accompanied Faye for some checks and then helped her rest in a hospital room.

Hunter stayed by her side. Not long after, a doctor came in and called Hunter out.

Hunter asked, "How is she?"

"Sir, did Madam eat something unclean today? She has acute enteritis.

But you brought her here quite timely, and she’ll be fine with some IV drip."

Recalling how she ate hotpot with great enthusiasm tonight, Hunter clicked his tongue: "Alright, quickly administer the IV."

The doctor gave the orders, and a nurse came in to help with the drip.

Faye fell asleep while receiving the IV, while Hunter sat by her bed, holding her hand, staying with her.

Luckily, it wasn’t something serious. Otherwise, he would’ve gone crazy.

Faye fell into a deep sleep after the pain subsided and felt much better when she woke up again.

Her hand was securely held by another warm, large hand. Smiling warmly, she looked down at Hunter, exhausted and sleeping, slumped over the bed.

She moved slightly, intending to change her position to see him better.

But Hunter gripped her hand tightly and suddenly sat up.

Seeing she was awake, he placed his hand on her forehead: "Awake? How are you feeling? More comfortable?"

Faye looked at him warmly: "I’m fine. Why did you sit here and sleep? Why not sleep over there?"

"I feared I would be too comfortable over there and wouldn’t know when you woke up."

Faye felt a twinge of emotion: "You had a rough night."

"I had to; you must not eat those roadside stalls anymore.

Watching you in so much pain last night, do you know how worried I was?

Faye, I never knew what it was like to lose someone, and I don’t want to find out.

So stop fooling around and eating those dirty things.

I’ve already had Shang Yi send someone to report that stall. It’s not food they’re selling, but poison."

Faye pouted: "That’s exaggerated. So many people ate it and were fine. It’s just that I’ve never eaten such things, and my stomach didn’t adapt."

"If some people can’t adapt, that proves those things are still unclean."

Seeing his indignant expression, Faye didn’t want to argue anymore, as he was only thinking of her well-being.

"I might not be able to go to the company tomorrow. You still have work, so get some sleep."

"I’ll call Declan Rivers and have them report to me if anything happens at the company. Don’t worry, you just rest here."

Hunter looked outside and saw the dawn breaking. He climbed onto the bed and lay beside her: "We don’t have much time left. Let’s get some sleep."

When Faye woke again in the morning, Hunter had already left, but he had hired a high-end nurse to take care of her.

Around noon, Eliana called again, asking about Richard’s situation.

Only then did Faye realize she had forgotten about Richard’s affair.

"Director Townsend, Richard’s phone has been off."

"I’ll have someone investigate over there. You focus on your work for now."

After hanging up, Faye called Declan Rivers: "Declan, I need you to investigate something for me."

"Yes, Director Townsend, go ahead."

"Investigate a shoe industry boss named Walter Hansen in Malaysia. I’ll send you his business card later with the company’s name.

And while you’re at it, check around for any sign of Richard. He should be in Malaysia now."

"Yes, Director Townsend."

After hanging up, Faye closed her eyes and lay down again. Soon, the door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Clara peeked inside.

Seeing Clara, Faye smiled: "Why did you come over?"

"I went to the office to find you, and your male secretary told me you were hospitalized with acute enteritis, so I came over."

Clara came in, taking a small, exquisitely packaged bouquet of flowers from behind her.
