Chapter 397 - Caspar Was Furious (1/2)
Jadeith's usually calm expression couldn't hide the turmoil in his chest when he hung up the phone. If not for this very shocking news, he certainly wouldn't dare to disturb his uncle who was troubled by his daughter's condition.
He patted Caspar's shoulder slowly and signalled Caspar to follow him to the corner of the room. They had just landed at Bern and were waiting for a medical helicopter to pick Aleksis up. She was to be taken to their home in Grindelwald.
”Uncle ... something very bad happened to Kurt,” Jadeith said in a trembling voice. He had never been this emotional before and it made Caspar wonder.
”What's the matter? Quick tell me!” Caspar urged.
”Kurt was targeted by Rhionen Assassins and … they killed him ...”
Caspar had to hold onto the wall to calm his mind down.
Kurt died! His mind instantly went dark.
Kurt was Stanis' only child, his trusted confidant, and had replaced his father as Caspar's right hand for 10 years since Stanis retired. Caspar had known Kurt since he was a baby. Caspar was there when he grew up and started a family. For him, Kurt was like his own family ...
Kurt's sudden death made Caspar very sad and angry. Subconsciously he clenched his fists and his face turned red with anger.
”They've gone too far ...” he hissed in an angry tone. ”I'm going to fly to Germany to meet with Kurt and Stanis' family. Please take care of my family in Switzerland.”
With long steps he approached Finland and held his wife's hand, ”Honey ... I have to take care of something very important. Please go home to accompany Aleksis. Kara will help arrange everything for Aleksis' treatment at home. You can also count on Nicolae; the boy is a doctor.”
”What ... what happened? Is it very serious?” Finland asked, worried. She turned to Jadeith and concluded that Caspar's nephew had delivered very bad news.
”I'll tell you later. Just go home first.” He kissed his wife's forehead then walked out and talked with the pilot to leave for Berlin immediately.
Before going to Berlin, Caspar entrusted Aleksis to Nicolae, because he knew the young man was a trusted doctor like himself. It made Nicolae feel very honored. He promised to care for Aleksis as well as possible.
The space in the medical helicopter was limited because there were various life-supporting equipment and doctors who handled Aleksis, so only Nicolae could accompany the girl. Finland, Terry and Lauriel took part in the next helicopter with Kara who had arrived to pick them up at the airport.
Lauriel, who was actually just as worried as Finland, tried not to show any traces of anxiety on his face, because he didn't want Finland to be worried. He tried to put on a calm expression.
He did not know any immortal person who recovered after suffering a severe injury that paralyzed the body, but in theory, with the ability of their perfect genes that would continuously regenerate, their bodies should be able to heal themselves and repair their injuries from within.
The problem now was how fast Aleksis' body could recover ...
It may take years, or more ...
Lauriel reached out and grabbed Finland's hands who was sitting opposite him.
”Aleksis will be fine,” he said quietly, staring at her pair of brown eyes that were swollen from crying. ”It takes time, but as immortals, time is in our hands.”
Terry, who sat next to Finland, nodded at Lauriel's words and rubbed his mother's back, soothing her. He knew Finland had lived in misery with Aleksis for two years when they were separated from Caspar, and the relationship between the mother and daughter was very close, far closer than the relationship between Finland and him or his younger brothers.
Therefore Terry realized how hard this was for Finland. It was not easy to see her beloved child on the verge of death. Terry could not help but give as much support as possible. Moreover, he was also aware that the incident which had befallen Aleksis was partly the result of his actions toward Rosemary at that time ...
Ugh, he swore to himself that he would never play with any women's feelings even if just for fun. He never had bad intentions towards them. Terry was used to being admired by girls and that bored him. That was all.
