Chapter 125 - You must let go of Jean (1/2)

Finland soon understood why her mother fell in love with her father and became very sad when Aleksis never returned. She felt heartbroken, and finally years later she died in sadness.

She placed her father's books and photographs on her chest and closed her eyes, trying her best to hold back her tears.

”Mom... now I'm content, Mom and Dad you are already united in heaven... It turns out that Dad did not leave us because he didn't love us anymore... he just couldn't come back home…”

Finland and Jean excused themselves shortly after. Finland felt unable to carry on a conversation and wanted to rest immediately. On the way home, the two were silent. They didn't exchange a single word. Jean knew that Finland was still shaken and did not want to disturb her mind.

”Thank you, Jean... Thank you...” After they arrived at the apartment, Finland hugged Jean for a while and hurried into her room. She was unable to say anything more. She really owed Jean so much.

She felt that she had only troubled Jean from the beginning and never added value in their friendship. In her heart she was ashamed of never giving anything to Jean, while the man had done so much for her...

[Caspar, I found my father...] Finland sent a picture of her father to Caspar after she entered her bedroom.

One minute later Caspar called Finland.

”Honey... what happened?” he asked worriedly.

Finland tried to sound tough, but Caspar knew she was crying.

”Jean found tracks of my father... apparently my father did not intend to leave us... He fell ill and died suddenly. He was buried in Colmar. That's why Jean invited me here.”

”Wh... what? Jean was looking for information about your father?”

”That is correct...”

Caspar was silent for a long time.

”Why are you silent...?” Finland asked him.

Caspar sighed at the other end. His voice sounded bitter.

”I didn't know you wanted to find your father. If I had known, I would have gotten that information easily.”

”There are things that you should understand without asking...” Finland said in a sad tone.

She recalled Jean's remark that Caspar should have been more understanding and provide things needed by Finland even if she did not ask. With his extraordinary access to information, it would have been very easy for Caspar to look for Finland's father and he could find information more quickly.
