CHAPTER 877: CHAPTER 877: A WOMAN’S CORPSE FOUND

Adrian Lancaster felt a slight twinge of disappointment inside, losing any interest in communicating with him almost instantly.

Though it’s said to believe in the power of belief, it shouldn’t be blind faith, after all, the Taoist priest isn’t a deity.

Predicting the future isn’t always that accurate either.

"I’ve heard about Mrs. Lancaster’s accident and I deeply regret it," the Taoist priest sighed lightly and spoke to him in a soothing tone—

"Mr. Lancaster, in fact, none of us know what the future holds, so we cannot plan to live a lifetime with anyone, just interact naturally. Meeting is fate, don’t be greedy, wherever destiny takes us is where we should be."

"If the heavens have justice, they wouldn’t separate lovers. If the heavens are unjust, we should follow fate, collect our emotions and state of mind, and continue to set sail."

"Your body belongs to you, take care of yourself."

As Adrian Lancaster listened to these words, he only felt his breathing tighten, his chest becoming exceptionally uncomfortable!

So, when the Taoist priest finished speaking—

"Pfft—!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the quilt red, startling the Taoist priest!

"Don’t talk to me about destiny!" Although Adrian Lancaster was somewhat weak, he was still furious!

Clutching his chest, he slowly turned his eyes toward the Taoist priest, harboring a repressed anger in his chest—

"Even if the heavens let her die, I’ll find her body! Let her body live with me for a lifetime! I will build her grave in my yard!"

The Taoist priest was intimidated by his determination; Mrs. Lancaster was not only his weakness but also his very life.

"Taoist priest, please leave..." He withdrew his gaze, blood still on the corners of his mouth, even speaking with some difficulty, "I, Adrian Lancaster, won’t listen to advice, in this matter, I refuse to accept fate! I love her, I’m not that free-spirited!"

Truly a devoted soul, the Taoist priest felt moved, for in real life, not to mention a man as wealthy as him, even those making over ten thousand a month would drift, treating women like clothes.

The news reported that Mrs. Lancaster, Faye Turner, was pushed into the river, where the waves roared.

Even if the Taoist priest could predict, he couldn’t be sure Faye Turner was still alive, surely it was a case of great peril.

Therefore, the Taoist priest said nothing more, just stayed with him in the ward for a while, then called in the doctor for him.

Another three days passed... for many people, it was an agonizing wait.

Adrian Lancaster’s personal phone rang several times, but each time it had nothing to do with Faye Turner’s whereabouts.

He called to ask his subordinates, and the result was that search operations were ongoing 24 hours, but there was no news at present.

Until about dusk, the search team recovered a woman’s body about 300 meters downstream, bloated from the water, with long hair, the face indistinguishable.

The discovery was immediately broadcasted online, sparking a heated discussion.

Adrian Lancaster was about to drive to the scene but was stopped by Chase Fletcher, worried he would be too agitated, advising, "Adrian, a DNA test will tell, we don’t have to go! What if it isn’t!? The river is so vast!"

Adrian Lancaster felt a stabbing pain inside, struck with fear, feeling as though his head might explode!

"Chase." He turned his gaze, grasping his friend’s arm, pleading, "Will you go with me?" He was determined to go.

Chase Fletcher was very concerned that he might not be able to accept it since the body, after being submerged for so long, would have a very horrifying swollen appearance.

Everyone hoped it wasn’t Faye Turner, but what if it was?

"If you don’t go, I’ll go by myself!"

"I’ll go with you!"

And so, Chase Fletcher drove, taking Adrian Lancaster towards the riverside.

In these few days, it was uncertain how everyone managed to get through them! Adrian Lancaster sat in the passenger seat, truly restless, with a burning anger in his chest that was about to consume him.

When they arrived, the riverside was already crowded with people.
