Chapter 168 - Aleksis and Lauriel in Singapore (1/2)
Jadeith knocked on the door carefully. Caspar, who was typing something on his laptop, raised his face and signaled his guard and nephew to enter.
”What is wrong?”
”There is bad news. Ms. Sophia disappeared from the safe house we prepared for her. We tried to track her down, but without success.”
Caspar frowned. He had not seen Sophia for several months because he did not want to meet anyone. Last week Sophia begged to meet him, but he refused, and now suddenly the girl has disappeared.
”Did the Meier family take her?”
”We suspect so...” Jadeith said quietly. ”What should we do?”
”Alexei is friends with Ned. Maybe if Ned asks, Alexei will listen to him. He can't possibly kill his own sister,” Caspar said. ”But I can't bother Ned now, he's getting married soon. This is a very big event.”
”Alexei hasn't surfaced for several years. I suspect he is preparing a new plan,” Jadeith said.
”I suspect he will come to Ned and Portia's wedding. They are both purists and he definitely needs their support.”
”Uncle... is... is Lauriel really coming? I heard rumors that Lauriel will attend Ned and Portia's wedding too. This is great news that is attracting the attention of many people.”
”Yes, he will come,” Caspar answered. ”If he comes to take the position of clan leader I don't mind giving it to him. I have no interest in managing the clan anymore.”
”Then what will uncle do?” Jadeith asked in surprise.
Caspar didn't answer.

”Oh... thank goodness... Terry has hope...”
”We will soon prepare for the bone marrow transplant surgery. That means Miss Finland must stay in the hospital...” said doctor Chou.
”Alright, doctor...”
Finland and Jean prepared everything for Finland to be hospitalized for the process of bone marrow aspiration. Jean accompanied her in the hospital so that Finland did not feel lonely.
Jean's presence at the hospital immediately caused a stir. Even though they had asked for privacy, there were still people who took photos of him and in a short time their faces graced various media on the internet.
”It's not fun being famous...” Jean complained as he scrolled through the news about them on his phone.
Finland just smiled. ”You really wanted to be famous, you know. You always told me that bad publicity is good publicity. Why has that changed now? You don't like being famous?”
”I like the famous part, but I don't like it when my personal life is disturbed. You shouldn't be involved. What will your fate be if people find out you have something to do with me? You will also be disturbed by these people. I have security guards, you don't... ”
