Chapter 674 - Then, What Are Your Plans? (2/2)
Finland could only shake her head when she heard him. She understood that London was initially involved in a situation like this because he was only trying to socialize with regular people. All this time he was only surrounded by wealthy or immortal people or people who had never experienced hardship at all in life.
She was actually happy that her son wanted to experience life as an ordinary human being so that he could be more sympathetic to people outside their family.
Finland now had lived her life as an Alchemist longer than she did as an ordinary human, but she still remembered what it was like to live a difficult life, experienced illnesses, and various life problems that the Alchemists never felt.
Unfortunately, London's journey was not smooth because he was tricked by a bad person and ended up sleeping with an ordinary girl. One situation led to another, and now he ended up having a child with her. From the start, their meeting was marked by dishonesty because London had to hide his identity.
This reminded them all of what happened with Alaric and Aleksis. Their story was tinged with misunderstanding and separation that led to deep sadness and suffering because they kept their identities a secret.
But in the case of London and L, fortunately, they were able to ensure that L was not an alchemist who kept her identity a secret like Alaric. Evidenced by her medical records stating L did indeed suffer from congenital heart disease, and she was allergic to anesthesia. An Alchemist would never experience such problems at all.
Now they only need to find out who she really was and what happened in L's past to find out more about the girl.
”Then what are your plans?” asked Rune, who was interested in his brother's case.
He also wanted London to be honest with L so that they, as his family, could freely visit Lily. The baby might soon be able to cry, and Rune cannot wait to test his latest machine.
”I will take her to a romantic dinner tonight, and find a way to reveal everything ...” London said, finally.
”Aww, good luck,” commented Terry, who had just come out of his room with a small suitcase. ”I'm going home to New York. Let me know the progress.”
London nodded. He hugged his brother before taking him off to the airport. He knew that Terry was very busy but, for them, family was everything. That was why Terry left his job for two weeks and visited Aleksis in Singapore and then go to Germany to support London. But of course, he could not linger and had to return to take care of his work in New York.
Aldebar and Lauriel had left two days ago. They also still had things to deal with. Aldebar would give a speech at the world scientists conference in a few days, and Lauriel was about to meet Nicolae and his two grandchildren who were leaving for Grosetto.
London spent several hours at his family's mansion and coaxed his mother who kept complaining because she could not meet her granddaughter. Later, he went back and picked up L from the hospital.
”I promise, I'll deal with L as soon as possible,” said London, kissing her mother's cheek and getting into the car. His father, who was painting on the veranda, only nodded with approval.
