Chapter 264 - The Man Who Loves Bonsai (1/2)

Aleksis was surprised because her wounds healed very quickly. Fortunately, there were no internal injuries or broken bones, so within 3 days she could recover.

Now, all she had to do was find out who her family was... and go home.

Her savior seemed very busy. He only came to visit once a day to make sure his staff took good care of Aleksis. Until now he still did not want to introduce himself.

”I also don't know your name, Little girl. So, I have no obligation to tell you mine...” he said with a smile when he visited Aleksis that afternoon and the girl tried to ask for his name again.

”Then what should I call you?” Aleksis asked stubbornly.

”You can call me 'Big brother'. I can call you Little girl. It feels fair then,” the young man replied with a shrug. Aleksis finally had no choice but to agree.

”Alright... Uhm, if you manage to find my parents, they will be very grateful and give you lots of gifts...” Aleksis said later.

”Thank you, but I don't need anything,” said the young man, smiling faintly. He spread his arms to show his mansion. ”I have everything.”

Aleksis confirmed this inwardly. This mansion was very large and luxurious, so it only made sense that the owner was already very rich.

Maybe it's true he didn't need material things. But what about things that couldn't be valued in money...?

”I know you're rich ... But there must be something you want in life. My father can make it happen, whatever it is.” Aleksis insisted. She hadn't been able to remember many things, but she knew for sure that her father was very powerful and able to materialize whatever dreams a person had.

The young man frowned at Aleksis' words.

”Do you know who your father is? You want me to call him?”

”Uhmm... That's not it. I can't remember him, but clearly, I know that my father is very powerful. If we can find him, he will return the favor because you have helped me...”

”Hmm... Alright. I believe you.” The man ruffled Aleksis' hair and smiled faintly. ”Are you feeling better? Do you want to come with me for a walk outside? It must be uncomfortable to stay in the room for days.”

Aleksis nodded and immediately got out of bed, then followed the man towards the garden. She was astonished because her condition had greatly improved, even though she had only been treated for three days.

They walked out the door of the mansion into the vast backyard. White marble steps from the back door descend into a green garden full of flowers and bonsai* trees. The garden gave Aleksis a very cool and peaceful feeling.

”This is such a beautiful garden...” Aleksis said admiringly.
