Chapter 144 - I will wait for you at Continental Hotel (1/2)

Finally, she found out who Rory really was. His real name was Lauriel and he was an alchemist.

Finland put two and two together and realized how Lauriel's strange attitude and unusual lifestyle now made sense.

”Do... do you have his phone number?”

”Why?” Lauriel asked.

If yesterday Lauriel asked who Aleksis' father was, Finland would not have told him, because she was afraid of revealing Caspar's identity and secret. But now that she knew Lauriel was an alchemist, there was nothing left to hide.

”He is Aleksis' father. I want to contact him.”

”Later at the hotel,” Lauriel said firmly.

Instantly Finland's heart blossomed. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Lauriel knew Caspar. Her efforts to contact Caspar would be much easier. She was a little sorry for not telling Lauriel earlier. If she had known, maybe she could have contacted Caspar since a year ago.

Thinking about this made her tears well up.

Lauriel, who saw that she was on the verge of crying, could only sigh. For the first time after meeting her at the hospital, he held Finland's hand.

The girl felt a little surprised. She felt that Lauriel was behaving rather differently since they left Hong Kong. She nodded slowly and pulled her hand away from Lauriel's grasp to wipe her tears away. Finland then averted her gaze out of the taxi window.

Lauriel kept his promise. He gave Caspar's phone number to Finland after they checked in at the hotel and sat in the living room of their suite. Finland could not help feeling ashamed when she dialed Caspar's number on her phone and entered her bedroom to call.

RING

RING

Please pick up...

Finland waited a long time.

Please… pick up.

After the tenth ring the call was finally picked up.

”Hello, Caspar...” she immediately spoke, unable to bear Caspar's voice that she had missed for so long.

”Who is this?” Caspar's voice sounded as cold as ice.

”This is me...”

”Oh. What's up?”

Finland was surprised. She had no idea that Caspar's reaction would be like this. She was suddenly lost for words.
