CHAPTER 143: CHAPTER 143: WHAT’S SO GOOD ABOUT THAT WOMAN

Inside the living room of the Faulkner Family’s old residence.

After bringing Caleb Faulkner back to The Faulkner Residence, Alaric quickly left for work, clearly not wanting to face his mother’s reprimands.

Mrs. Faulkner cradled Caleb in her arms, showering him with kisses, rejoicing greatly as it had been a long time since they last met.

After being satisfied, she finally spoke, "Where has little Caleb run off to these past few days? He wouldn’t come home even when grandma came. What’s so good about that woman?"

Caleb seized the opportunity to speak well of Eleanor Sterling.

"Grandma, Aunt Eleanor is very nice. She cooks for me, and I feel comfortable staying at her place."

Understanding his grandmother’s temperament, he dared not refer to Eleanor as ’Mommy Eleanor’ in Mrs. Faulkner’s presence.

Mrs. Faulkner narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that woman had many tactics, using this to make the defenseless young Caleb completely obedient.

However, this couldn’t be blamed entirely on Caleb.

Faye Sterling, as Caleb’s mother, caused him to be so indifferent and distant, preferring closeness with his aunt over her.

Who knows what Faye Sterling is up to!

If it weren’t for Caleb, that woman wouldn’t be tolerated at all. Though reluctantly accepted now, she still didn’t like her from the bottom of her heart.

"From now on, have less contact with that woman. She’s no good; did you hear me?"

Mrs. Faulkner said sternly.

She couldn’t describe Eleanor Sterling’s sordid affairs in front of the child, but felt it necessary to remind him to keep his distance from Eleanor.

Caleb’s eyes darted, understanding that Mrs. Faulkner didn’t quite like Eleanor Sterling.

"Grandma, why? I think she’s very nice."

Mrs. Faulkner patiently explained, "Good child, listen to grandma. She’s not a good person; she’s only trying to curry favor with you to get close to your dad."

Hearing this, Caleb couldn’t help but scoff internally.

Clearly, it’s his dad pursuing her, yet she even dislikes him.

Knowing Mrs. Faulkner’s stubborn nature, Caleb didn’t argue with her.

No matter, soon he could be by Eleanor Sterling’s side, especially if he helped Estelle Sterling steal some blood.

Caleb’s eyes twinkled as he said, "Grandma, let go of me; I need to go for a blood draw and storage."

Mrs. Faulkner was taken aback, as if only remembering, "Oh, my memory, I almost forgot it’s the days for blood draw and storage."

She stood up, taking Caleb by the hand, saying, "Grandma will take you to the medical room."

Caleb nodded repeatedly; he was supposed to go the day after tomorrow, but it’d be inconvenient to act with Alaric.

Now going two days early with grandma wouldn’t raise any suspicion, perfectly allowing him to cover his real intentions.

Mrs. Faulkner seemed to remember something, saying, "Hasn’t Jasper returned to Veridia City? Why isn’t he at The Faulkner Residence either?

They all avoid the house one by one; does the Faulkner Family seem like a scary place?"

Caleb couldn’t help but grumble, what’s so good about The Faulkner Residence? It’s uncomfortable, and naturally, there’s a desire not to stay. If it weren’t for accompanying her, he wouldn’t want to return.

Mrs. Faulkner immediately called Jasper Faulkner, instructing him to go to the medical room for a blood draw.

Medical Room.

The Faulkner Family’s medical room was built under Alaric Faulkner’s hefty investment, equipped with many medical devices, including a massive blood bank.

Usually managed entirely by Dylan Lawson, it’s the crucial lifeline of the Faulkner Family.

Alaric Faulkner, Jasper Faulkner, and Caleb Faulkner, all belong to the globally rare RH null blood type.

With only over forty cases worldwide, the Faulkner Family has three, signifying immense value.

RH null blood type is a universal blood type, able to transfuse to any other blood type, regarded as a treasure of the blood bank by medical experts.

Despite its universality, given the rarity, it cannot be substituted when transfusing itself.

Thus, the Faulkner Family created their own blood bank, drawing and storing their blood regularly as a precaution.
