Chapter 180 - Years of longing (1/2)

Jean and Finland's presence at the hospital again attracted the attention of visitors and hospital employees, but now the gossip that Jean and Finland were lovers slowly faded away because people saw that the girl, whom they initially thought was Jean's girlfriend, was walking while holding hands with another man, who was even better looking than Jean.

When the three passed, people subconsciously stopped whatever they were doing and stared at them until they disappeared from view.

”Dr. Schneider...!” exclaimed a middle-aged doctor when he saw Caspar. ”Gosh... why are you here? Visiting duty or checking on a patient?”

Caspar recognized the man from a conference he attended several years ago and for the sake of politeness he stopped and greeted him.

”Good evening, Doctor. I'm just visiting a friend's child. How are you?”

”Good, good, I am very happy to meet you. Gosh... You haven't changed at all! You are still as young and as handsome as when we met several years ago.” The doctor was amazed to see Caspar, ”You're almost 40 years old right now, right?”

Caspar just smiled thinly at that. He had indeed used the identity of Heinrich Schneider for too long. Heinrich Schneider was the owner of the Schneider Group and the well-known genius surgeon, both of whom walked their paths together unnoticed by people in both worlds because his face never appeared on any media.

Since he parted ways with Finland two years ago, he had not bothered to take on a new identity. That could be taken care of once Aleksis recovers and they live together again, he thought.

Finland remembered that her second meeting with Caspar also took place at the hospital. That time Finland needed to do a medical check-up as a requirement to start working in LTX and Caspar, who was a visiting doctor at the Stamford Hospital for 6 months, kindly offered to examine her and even paid for her check-up fee because he knew that Finland did not have any money.

The thought of the event made her smile subconsciously and she looked at Caspar lovingly.

To avoid more people from recognizing and stopping him, Caspar walked hurriedly to Terry's room followed by Finland and Jean. They were welcomed by the boy's parents who seemed very grateful for their help. Terry now had hope of recovery.

”Hi Terry, how are you feeling?” Jean asked when they arrived at the room where Terry was treated.

He regretted that he didn't have the chance to stop by to bring gifts, but they were in a hurry.

”All right,” Terry answered. He smiled at Caspar, ”The doctor said that the procedure went well and now we have to wait and see, but so far everything is going on well.”

Caspar nodded. Astonished, Finland turned to look at Caspar.

”Do you know each other?” she asked.

”I came here this morning...” Caspar shrugged. ”I just wanted to make sure that you didn't give your bone marrow in vain. I happen to know the director of this hospital personally.”

”Oh...” Finland smiled at this and squeezed Caspar's hand tenderly. She remembered that Caspar was very jealous because Finland donated her egg cells to get money and as a result she had a child from an embryo produced by her egg and Jean's sperm. But now, Caspar didn't seem to mind that anymore. Finland felt relieved.

They talked for a while and then excused themselves because they were leaving Singapore and promised to exchange news after Terry recovered.

Jean was driven to the airport because he had to fly immediately to France and Finland heavy-heartedly sent him off when they arrived at the departure terminal. She felt very happy because Jean had regained all his valuable memory of their friendship. Both promised to call each other and talk every day like they used to. Then they exchanged one last hug and said goodbye.

”Good luck with the movie...” Finland said. ”See you in Scotland!”

”See you, Finland.” Jean waved several times before going through the security check. He quickly disappeared from their sight.

”I have not thanked you for thinking fast and saving Jean's life by giving him the immortality potion...” Finland said to Caspar with welled up emotions. ”Thank you...”

Caspar looked at Finland and a sly smile carved on his face,

”Uhmm... you can show your gratitude by kissing me...” he said.

Instantly, Finland flushed red and subconsciously she looked down. She had not kissed this man for a long time and she really missed him.

Caspar, who saw Finland's timid expression, immediately touched her chin and brought her face closer to his. Then, he kissed her lips softly with his eager lips. As he was kissing her, he got more and more excited. He then forcefully entered her mouth with his tongue and explored it to his heart's content. He really missed these cute red lips, every day, every night.

Ouch... aren't you embarrassed...? This is a public place… a VERY public place.

Finland wanted to say those words in protest, but no sound came out of her lips as they were being attacked by Caspar like there was no tomorrow. Finally, Finland could only close her eyes and enjoy the man's kisses which made her mind immediately go blank.

When Caspar finally let go, he whispered tenderly in her ear, ”I miss you so much, I miss you every day, I miss you every night...”

Finland blushed and 'changed the topic' by pulling Caspar's hand to where their car was waiting. She was embarrassed by the envious looks the people around them show when they saw them kissing so passionately.
