I Married An Immortal (The Alchemists)

Chapter 138 - The Mysterious Rory

Rory came every day to the hospital and brought a lot of gifts for Aleksis. His presence made Finland's sad heart feel lighter. She felt like she had a new friend to replace Jean who had forgotten her.

"Rory, why are you helping me? I'm just a stranger to you..." Finland asked as Rory picked them up from the hospital to go home. She really felt bad for troubling someone who was not even her relative.

"I am not helping you, I am helping Aleksis," Rory answered lightly. He helped Finland carry her belongings since the girl was struggling to carry her baby. "Can you walk to the parking lot or should I push you in a wheelchair?"

"I can walk, thank you. Uhmm... will you drive us home by car?"

"Yes, I brought my car here."

"Where do you live?" Finland asked.

"I live in a hotel," Rory answered nonchalantly. "I love adventure and I don't want to settle somewhere. Right now, my house is my car. It's easier for me to stay in a hotel right now..."

"Oh..." Finland felt Rory was somewhat mysterious but she didn't want to ask too many questions. She adheres to the same principle as Jean: if someone wanted you to know something, surely they would share it eventually without being asked. Therefore, she waited patiently.

Finland finally returned to her apartment after she was hospitalized. To her surprise, the apartment had become quite dusty. Rory coughed and protested when he entered the flat and didn't bring Finland's bag inside.

"Your apartment is a mess. This is not suitable for a baby. You'd better come with me to the hotel," he said, as he shook his head in protest.

"But this is my home... I can tidy up..." Finland said quickly. "It's only natural that it's dusty, I've been in the hospital for two weeks."

"Have the apartment cleaned before you return to live here..." Rory did not listen to Finland's protest and immediately pulled the girl's hand out of the apartment. He locked the apartment and returned to his car. Finland had no choice but to follow Rory's orders.

Rory apparently lived in the Hilton Hotel. When they pulled over in front of the hotel, Finland immediately shook her head. She didn't want to get out of the car.

"This hotel is very expensive. A week's stay here can pay my apartment rent for a month," she protested. Finland still had a lot of money from Caspar, but she didn't want to spend it foolishly by staying in such an expensive hotel when she had an apartment to stay in.

"Who told you to pay?" Rory opened the passenger door and gave a signal for Finland to come out with Aleksis. "I told you, I have a lot of money."

"Oh..." Finland again had no choice but to follow Rory's will. Considering that for the past two weeks Rory had taken care of her and Aleksis, she felt bad about arguing. Rory took out their bags and handed the car keys to the valet.

"I want to move to a two-room suite," Rory told the receptionist who was surprised to see him coming with a woman and a baby. The girl just nodded and typed in something on the computer, then handed the key to the concierge.

"Welcome back, Sir. Have a good rest."

Rory just nodded and followed the concierge. Finland followed them with a troubled mind. She was probably facing the most difficult time of her life, and she unexpectedly received help from a stranger. Maybe God didn't want her to constantly suffer.

"You won't be bothered by the presence of a baby here?" Finland asked, confused. Rory was very strange to her.

"No." Rory immediately made two cups of tea for them and handed one to Finland.
