Chapter 879 - Nicolae & Summer (1/2)

Nicolae decided to postpone all of his questions and focus all of his attention on Summer. What's important now was to treat this child, feed her, and made sure she was fully recovered. Later, Nicolae would be able to find her parents.

”Have a nice meal,” Nicolae said. ”You must eat a lot, so you can recover quickly. Later, I will help get you home.”

Summer nodded. She was about to cut her pancakes when Nicolae overtook the task and sliced ​​the pancakes into small pieces. The man also cracked her boiled eggs for her.

Summer looked at Nicolae with a thankful look. And slowly, she smiled.

”Thank you, Uncle Nic,” she said quietly.

Nicolae was fascinated by how sweet the girl's smile was. He just saw Summer have dimples on both cheeks deep enough when she smiled. Her small peach-shaped eyes almost disappeared into two black lines covered by a thick and long eyelash curtain when she smiled broadly.

Nicolae couldn't believe that a regular human, outside of the Alchemist clan, could look so perfect like this. He became increasingly curious to know what her parents were like. Could it be that they were also members of the clan?

He decided to ask Caspar about this possibility.

”You're welcome, Sweetheart. Eat a lot,” Nicolae said.

He only silently watched Summer as the child enjoyed pancakes on her plate, then two hard-boiled eggs and various fruit slices. Nicolae tried to eat, but somehow he could not force food into his mouth at all. His throat felt nauseous, and his head hurt.

This morning, looking at summer, felt like pouring salt over his wounded heart that was almost healed. The child made him think of his child who had never been born ...

Had she or he lived, it must ber this kid's age now ...

Nicolae took a deep breath and, after a few minutes, finally decided to look for the little girl's parents by taking her to the police station. He really couldn't stand it the longer he saw Summer near him. The image of Marie was hovering in his mind, followed by the news of her death six years ago. It hurt his head.

He usually took the time to visit Singapore once a year every summer holiday to visit the grave where Marie and their child were buried. This year, he decided to not stop the tradition and not come there because he would always be overcome by sadness. He wanted to move on and continue his life. But alas, today in Paris, he seemed to be forced to remember Marie again ...

Why can't they leave him alone?

After breakfast, Nicolae took Summer back to her room and ran a bath for her in the bathtub. He intentionally called Marion to help the child take a bath because he did not want Summer to feel uncomfortable with him.

”Summer, please meet Aunt Marion. She is Uncle Nic's friend. She will help you take a bath and get dressed. After that, we will go to the police station to look for your family,” Nicolae said while introducing Marion to Summer.

He had briefly told Marion about what happened, and the woman was happy to help. She approached Summer, who was sitting on a chair with a sweet and amiable smile.

”Hello, Summer. My name is Marion. I have a daughter too, like you. Later, I will bring her here so you can meet her.”

Summer nodded politely. ”Hello, Auntie Marion.”
