Chapter 168 - Aleksis and Lauriel in Singapore (2/2)

Finland thought of the first time she ate Liao Fan's chicken rice with Caspar. People were also secretly taking photos of him, even though he was not a celebrity. He was just very handsome and many people thought he must be a movie star. Caspar had to mobilize his bodyguards to restore order and erase his photos from their phones.

The thought of Caspar made her miss him again. Ned and Portia's wedding party was only 2 weeks away. She couldn't wait to see Caspar in Scotland soon.

[We have landed in Singapore. Where did you stay last night?]

A text from Lauriel came in when Finland was busy with her own thoughts.

Ah, she had forgotten that Lauriel and Aleksis where scheduled to land today from Brazil.

[I need to stay overnight at the hospital. They will take my bone marrow tomorrow. We stayed at the Raffles Hotel.]

[Alright, Aleksis and I will go to Raffles then. Tomorrow, after the operation, I will bring Aleksis to visit you.]

[Thank you.]

”Lauriel and Aleksis have landed...” Finland told Jean. ”After I get discharged from the hospital, we will treat you too...”

Jean took Finland's hand and nodded. Soon, everything would return to normal.

Lauriel carried Aleksis on his shoulder while pushing their suitcase. For the sake of practicality, he bought a four-wheeled suitcase in Brazil to make it easier to carry all the ingredients he collected.

He wore a thin white shirt, khaki pants and sunglasses. He looked as if he was sunglasses model from the magazines came out into the real world. The women in the airport couldn't help but hold their breath as he passed by. Especially after they saw the beautiful little girl who was busy babbling on his shoulder.

Both of them seemed engrossed in conversation. The conversation seem to have started at the butterfly and sunflower garden at the Changi airport terminal, until they exit the terminal.

”Uncle Rory, where is Mummy?” Aleksis asked, playing with Lauriel's long hair. ”How come she doesn't pick us up?”

”Mummy is in the hospital. We will meet her tomorrow. She is helping your brother.”

”Brother? What's that?”

”A brother is another human who has blood relations with you, it could be because it comes from the same mother or father.”

”What is Father?”

”Father is a male parent. Mother is a female parent.”

”So Mummy Finland is my mother, means Uncle Rory is my father?”

Lauriel did not answer. He just ruffled Aleksis's hair which had become messy like his own.
