Chapter 151 - Reignited hope for Jean (2/2)

[Just come here if you're really worried.]

Fifteen minutes later Finland arrived at Lauriel's house. She brought a change of clothes so that tomorrow she could go straight to work.

”Sorry, I changed my mind,” said the girl as she appeared at Lauriel's door. The man nodded and invited her inside. Finland had never stayed over at Lauriel's house before. She and Aleksis only stayed with him when they were on vacation at his farm or when they stayed at a hotel after returning from the hospital and traveling to Hong Kong and Singapore last year.

In Lauriel's house, there was a room that was decorated with a Disney theme fit for a princess. It was a room prepared just for Aleksis to play and spend most of her time while Finland was working.

Now, her daughter was sleeping soundly in her beautiful bed that was made to look like Princess Aurora's bed. Anyone would not have the heart to wake the little angel up from her beautiful sleep.

After seeing Aleksis sleeping peacefully, Finland's heart calmed down. She smiled with relief and looked at Lauriel gratefully.

”How was the movie?” Lauriel asked, taking out a bottle of wine and two glasses. He gave a signal for Finland to follow him to the library.

”The movie was very good. I know the actor...” Finland received a glass of wine from Lauriel and placed her bag on the couch. ”He is my best friend whom I haven't seen in a long time...”

”You never told me about him,” Lauriel said. He took a sip of his wine and looked at Finland with a frown. ”Why haven't you seen him?”

Finland pondered for a moment before finally deciding to tell Lauriel what happened between her, Jean and Caspar. The man listened carefully, and his face did not change at all.

”I'm sorry to hear that you lost your friend... Sorry I didn't know this before, I've resigned from worldly life for decades...” Lauriel touched Finland's hand and patted her softly, as if to ease her burden. ”I know Aldebar is a very talented scientist and the potions he creates must be effective. But if I had known earlier, maybe I could have helped Jean restore his memories...”

Finland gasped at Lauriel's words. ”You... can you do it?”

”I'm an expert on poisons and medicines... There are many plants that have extraordinary properties in this world.” Lauriel pondered for a moment, remembering, ”I once learned of this special medicine when I was in the depths of the Amazon. I am not going to promise you that I will be able to recover Jean's memory completely. But I can try...”

Tears slowly dripped from Finland's eyes. After almost 3 years, she had given up on hoping for Jean's memories to return. Now, suddenly Lauriel reignited her hope...
