Chapter 210 - Nicolae And London

As soon as Nicolae saw the figure he was looking for, his face seemed to glow with joy and his lips immediately curved up into a happy smile. He rushed towards the girl. In the blink of an eye, he had lifted Vega to the air and swirled around like when the girl was a child.

"My daughter is bak ... Gosh, Vega ... Honey, you're here..." His eyes were in tears as Nicolae looked at Vega in his arms closely. He still couldn't believe his own views.

His daughter, who disappeared for nearly six years, was now back in his arms. Nicolae's happiness could not be described in words. Marie who walked behind him took Summer's shoulder. Her daughter was staring at the scene with mixed feelings.

She was never close to Vega because they only met briefly in Paris before Vega was kidnapped. In contrast to Altair. Summer was very close to him because they became close after Nicolae moved to Bucharest and spend a lot of time with the Linden family.

Summer also knew that before she came to this world, and before Nicolae knew that he had a biological daughter, Vega was her father's favorite child. Vega considered Nicolae to be his own father and called him Daddy Nic.

When Vega disappeared, Nicolae was devastated. He often spent time alone thinking about Vega and remembered her. Moreover, he felt that the kidnapping incident that happened to Vega was partly his fault. Nicolae felt responsible because he left the girl and her brother to go with Marie and Summer to Grosseto and prepare for his wedding.

Over the years, Summer grew up seeing her father harbor this sadness and guilt. Now, suddenly Vega, who disappeared, had returned. Summer felt guilty because secretly she felt jealous that her beloved father now seemed to pour out all his longing for Vega.

She knew he shouldn't think like that. Vega must have suffered a lot while she was separated from her family. 

When Nicolae finally lowered Vega's body back to the floor, he hugged her very tightly, as if he wanted to make up for the thousands of hugs that he had not been able to give her for years.

"Vega, honey ... how are you?" asked Nicolae. He released Vega from his embrace and looked deeply into her eyes.

For a moment, Vega was stunned. She was fascinated by the handsome face and the pair of deep blue eyes that stared at her lovingly. She didn't know who this man was, but her heart felt so warm and her chest was filled with a deep longing for some reason.

Tears slowly rolled down Vega's cheeks as she stared at Nicolae without being able to recognize him.

"I ... I don't remember. I'm sorry ..." whispered the girl in a voice of despair and embarrassment.

She badly wanted to remember Nicolae. In her heart, she felt that this man had a special place in her life. 

Was this her godfather? Why did she feel closer to her godfather than to her biological father?

"It's all right, Honey ..." said Nicolae soothingly. "It's not your fault. Daddy missed you so much. I think about you every day. We were always looking for you and never stop. Are you all right?"

Vega nodded slowly. "Daddy .. I'm fine. Uhm ... I'm sorry for not being able to remember all of you."

"Your daddy here is a doctor. Your grandfather is too. Let us check your health later and find out the best way to recover your memory." Nicolae turned to Caspar. "Isn't that right, Uncle Caspar?"

Caspar nodded. "Right. Later, after Lauriel comes, we will discuss it together. We can definitely restore Vega's memory."

"That's right. I remember that time Jean also lost his memory for several years, and Lauriel managed to help him recover," Finland added.

"When will my father arrive? Has he given any news?" asked Nicolae impatiently.

"Lauriel is almost here. Tonight we will all meet. Even Jean and Marion will also come," said Finland.

"Oh .. thank goodness, everyone is here." Nicolae nodded happily. After he pulled himself together and wiped his wet eyes, the man introduced his wife and child to Vega. "This is Auntie Marie, my wife, and Summer, my daughter. You've met before, but of course, you don't remember them either."

Marie stepped forward and hugged Vega tightly. She smiled broadly and wiped her eyes, which were also wet with tears. She had witnessed how Nicolae had turned into a sad man in recent years because of Vega's disappearance.

She really felt grateful because finally, Vega was found. She hoped that Vega's presence could make her husband happy again and went back to being like the old Nicolae, a man who was warm and always brought happiness to everyone around him.

After her mother hugged Vega, now it's Summer's turn. She shyly introduced herself.

"Hello, Big sister Vega. My name is Summer."

"Oh, hello, Summer. You're so beautiful," said Vega, hugging her younger cousin. She knew her place and tried to be nice to Summer, to show the 12-year-old girl that Vega had no intention of taking her father away from her.

"Hey .. Vega. I'm so glad you're finally back." London then took his turn to hug Vega after Summer broke free from her. He pushed L and Lily together to approach his niece who had just returned. "This is Auntie L, my wife, and this is Lily, your cousin."

Vega smiled broadly when she saw L. She spread her arms around the artist and praised her. "Ahhh ... Auntie! I watched your performance at the royal gala in the Moravian palace ... Too bad at that time I didn't know you were my aunt."

"Ahh .. me too. Too bad we didn't meet ..." L said with a tone full of regret. "Even though we were so close then."

"It's okay, what's important now that we've met," said London with a smile.

"Hi, Vega ... My name is Lily Schneider," said Lily, who reached out her hand to greet Vega.

"Nice to meet you, Lily." Vega greeted Lily and then hugged her. After that, she embraced London. "Hello, Uncle London."

Ren watched the scenes of how Vega met her family one by one and secretly felt jealous. Last week, he and Vega were both orphans, but now their situation was so different, like heaven and earth.

Vega still had both of her parents, and their entire family was now gathering and pouring her with affection. Ren's parents would never return. Forever, he would remain an orphan.

"Oh, by the way, Daddy, Uncle, and Auntie ... this is my husband, Renald Hanenberg," Vega said, introducing Ren to them. She never forgot to involve her husband in meetings with her family members.

London and L nodded slightly towards Ren with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Prince Renald. We saw you at the royal gala," said London pleasantly.

Ren hurriedly waved his hand and smiled. "Please don't use formalities with me, Uncle. I am the husband of your niece ..."

"Ah, well, if you say that.. Nice to meet you," said London.
