I Married An Immortal (The Alchemists)

Chapter 139 - I'm Not Asking You To Marry Me

Finland never stopped finding information about Jean when she was in America. She eventually obtained information that Jean lost his memory after he recovered from his coma. She suspected it was the result of the memory potion he took before being shot by Famke.

After recovering and returning to work, Jean quit modeling and decided to enter the movie industry. He started playing in several indie movies and Finland faithfully followed the development of his career. She hoped that one day she would have the opportunity to meet Jean in person and revive his memory.

Finland deeply regretted not storing all her contact details in a notebook or in her email. She used to take for granted Jean and Caspar's phone numbers. Now that she had lost them, she realized how difficult it was to get access to these important people. If she had kept Rosalind Marchal's contact, she would have been able to reach Jean.

Caspar had also given her Stanis' contacts, but she foolishly did not keep Stanis's business cards well. She was very sad because now she could not reach any of them.

Caspar still couldn't be traced on the internet. Heinrich Schneider was still as mysterious as before. Finland could not find any photos nor decent information. This made her very sad because she did not have any photos of Caspar to show to her child.

"Boss, I want to take some days off to return to Singapore..." Finland told Tony one day at his office. She was determined to find Caspar in Singapore. "I have something to do."

"Uhm... how about you go there for a business trip? The company will pay for your tickets and hotels. So, I want you to extend your leave to take care of some office projects. How does that sound? I need you to stop by in Hong Kong for a few days." Tony asked her, spinning his pen.

Finland was very tempted by the offer. Hotels in Singapore was very expensive, and if LTX could bear the cost of her accommodation there, that would be great. She wouldn't mind extending her leave to stop by in Hong Kong for work. But who would look after her baby?

"Think about it, okay." said Tony.

"OK..."

Finland had no idea that Rory would ask to come with her to Singapore when she told him of her plans.

"Well, either I join you to Singapore, or you leave Aleksis in San Francisco with me. It's your choice..." Rory said firmly.

"Seriously? You want to come to Singapore just to look after Aleksis??" Finland couldn't believe her own hearing.

"I can't believe you want to take her abroad without asking me," said Rory. "Do you want to take responsibility if I die because you leave?"

Finland swallowed hard. Rory sounded serious with his words.

"Uhmm... okay. But we have to stop by in Hong Kong first for three days. I have work to do."

"Very well. I will look after Aleksis while you work in Hong Kong. I know the city very well."

Finland finally agreed. She missed Caspar so much and wanted to find information about his whereabouts in Singapore as soon as possible.

There were only two places she knew could give her a clue: the Continental Hotel and Rose Mansion.

***

Aleksis was already one year old and she was getting beautiful every day. Her hair is light brown with curls that made her look like a little angel in Italian paintings. Her big round eyes now had very bright blue-green colors, making everyone who saw them spellbound.

Rory also often took off his glasses now and made him look more like Aleksis. He called Aleksis his beloved child, and when Finland and Rory who carried Aleksis walked together at the airport, many people stared enviously at the 'little family'.
