Chapter 882 - Who Is Summers Mother? (2/2)

”Honey ... Let's go back to the hotel, okay. You have to take an afternoon nap. We'll play again later,” Nicolae told her gently.

Summer nodded and immediately wrapped her arms around Nicolae's neck, and the man carried her. Since they were not far from the Nobel Hotel, Nicolae decided to walk while carrying the little girl.

Along the way, he thought about contacting Caspar, Lauriel, and Marion. Marion said earlier that she would look for the two criminals who captured Summer. He wanted to know what she found.

Because he was busy thinking, Nicolae did not realize the little girl he was holding was falling asleep in his arms. He only realized it when Summer's head drooped to the left.

”Gosh... you are already sleeping ... You must have been very tired of counting, huh ...” muttered Nicolae, who spontaneously held Summer's head with his hand. He then pushed the girl's head against his shoulder and immediately accelerated his steps to get to the penthouse.

After laying Summer very carefully in her bed and letting the child take a nap, Nicolae immediately contacted Caspar Schneider to ask his opinion about the possibility that Summer was the daughter of a clan member who didn't socialize with other clan members.

”Hmm ... it could be. I can't possibly know the s.e.x.u.a.l lives of all the clan members,” Caspar said. ”Someone could be in a relationship out there and not tell their partners that they are Alchemists and they are not married. You know, all married clan members have to tell me to get the immortality potion for their spouses. They might also have children with commoners and not know about it.”

”Hmm ... I see. But that means even if Summer is a descendant of a clan member, we won't be able to find out?” Nicolae asked, slightly disappointed. He had hoped there was a way to find out about it.

Caspar shook his head. ”Unfortunately, no. Not unless you can check and compare her DNA with the possible parent's.”

”All right ... thank you, Uncle. I will try to investigate other possibilities.”

Nicolae pondered for a moment. He opened his tablet and wanted to find another source of information. Suddenly he read an incoming message from Marion.

[I was looking for the boat you told me, it has disappeared from yesterday's location. I managed to find their tracks, but both of them are dead. Do you think that child's parents are from the underworld?]

Nicolae frowned at the message. The criminals were dead? Who killed them? Is it Summer's parents? It must mean her mother... Summer already said she didn't have a father.

Who is Summer's mother, really? How could she track down the criminals who held her daughter captive and killed them?

[When were they killed?] He replied to Marion's message.

[Looks like after midnight, about two hours after you left them.]

Oh ...

Nicolae exclaimed in surprise. Apparently, the little's girl's mother only missed him by two hours. It seemed like as soon as Summer disappeared, the mother immediately searched for her child, and she managed to find the kidnappers' tracks.

Nicolae shuddered at the thought that had he arrived a little late, maybe the mother would have come to save Summer and kill the two criminals.

Now, the woman might be feeling uneasy and worried because her child changed hands from two petty-class criminals to the hands of a stranger she didn't know.

Nicolae remembered that it was dark, and there was no adequate lighting. Maybe the woman forced the two criminals to tell her who had taken Summer, but the two certainly didn't know who Nicolae was.

She also will not be able to find Nicolae from CCTV recordings around the area because of the darkness. He could imagine how frantically she had been for the past 20 hours thinking about her daughter. Nicolae suddenly felt very guilty.
