CHAPTER 629: CHAPTER 629: VISITING THE LANCASTER FAMILY’S FOURTH UNCLE

The two finished their breakfast, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Julian Lancaster drove Nina Sinclair to the outskirts of Crestfall. The last time Nina came here was for Old Master Lancaster’s birthday banquet; she remembered this was Lancaster Family property, with nursing homes, villas, hospitals...

Back then, she didn’t know Julian Lancaster’s identity. Thinking about how he had deceived her, Nina felt the urge to grab Julian and give him a good beating. This liar had tricked her for so long.

Nina looked at the pleasant scenery outside the window, feeling quite at ease.

No wonder wetland apartments were built here; it’s truly suitable for recuperation. She turned her head and asked, "Is this where your grandparents planned to retire? You guys tricked me back then."

"Yes, not just them."

"Then who else?" Nina was initially taken aback, but then suddenly recalled that Grandma Lancaster had mentioned there was also a vegetative person in the Lancaster Family.

Curiously, she asked, "By the way, Grandma said your family also has a vegetative person. You aren’t thinking of taking me to see him, are you?"

Though she found it odd that Julian suddenly wanted to take her to see a Lancaster patient, Nina didn’t oppose it.

"Yes, he’s my Fourth Uncle, named Caleb Lancaster."

Julian felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, uncertain of what Nina’s reaction would be when she learned the truth later.

As they conversed, the two arrived at a pristine white building.

The building stood amidst lush greenery, looking like a forgotten pearl in an oasis. Nina suddenly felt a strange sense of unease; it was odd, and she didn’t know why.

Julian took Nina up the elevator.

Perhaps everything had been arranged in advance, they went up very smoothly.

Nina glanced at Julian; his face appeared extraordinarily cold, perhaps due to the atmosphere causing his emotions to tense up.

She wanted to offer some comfort but suddenly didn’t know what to say.

As her own mother was also in a vegetative state, Nina understood the pain; taking care of a patient was no easy task.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the hospital room door.

Julian opened the door and walked in.

The hospital room wasn’t very large, looking white and clean, with a bed in the center, upon which lay a man quietly. His features bore some resemblance to Julian’s, especially around the eyes.

Nina thought to herself, the Lancaster Family had great genes; they were all very good-looking.

Julian walked to Caleb Lancaster’s side, and Nina followed closely beside him.

Julian looked down at the silent man, then somberly said, "Fourth Uncle, it’s Julian. I’ve come to see you."

After hearing Julian’s words, Nina followed obediently, calling out, "Fourth Uncle."

Julian was silent for a moment, then continued, "Nina is from the Sinclair Family, Madeline Sherman’s daughter."

Hearing Julian’s words, Nina looked at him in surprise, wondering why he specifically mentioned that. Shouldn’t the normal introduction be saying she’s his wife?

Understanding Nina’s inner confusion, Julian turned to look at her.

His gaze fell on her, with deep eyes harboring a complex emotion.

After a while, Julian finally spoke hoarsely, "Nina, your mother was in the car accident with my Fourth Uncle."
