Chapter 236 - Elios & Altair In Almstad

Elios' opinion about his son-in-law changed a little. Okay, maybe Ren wasn't as bad as he thought because he couldn't protect Vega. At least Ren had given punishment to Amelia for what she did to Vega a few months ago.

He sipped his tea slowly while Altair enjoyed his strawberry cake while reading various other news articles. 

"Father, don't you want to find out about what really happened between Ren and that dead woman?" asked Altair.

Elios shook his head. "No need. I knew everything there was to know about Ren before we came to F Island. He managed to cover up a piece of information from me, but now I know what he's hiding."

Elios admitted that the information he got from the hospital at that time was inaccurate. He did not know that Vega had been treated at the Almstad International hospital for a gunshot wound caused by Amelia's attack.

The information he got was the same as the information Mischa got at that time, namely, Vega got ill and her medical records were altered by the order of Prince Renald. Only a person at the level of the crown prince of Moravia could shut down the flow of information in such a way that even Elios couldn't touch it.

Now he already knew why Ren covered Vega's medical records closely. He certainly didn't want the public to smell news about his wife's pregnancy and miscarriage. Given that he did not want to speak openly to journalists about his marriage.

"Hmm ... looks like Ren's condition is quite severe. Should we visit him to the hospital?" asked Altair again.

Again Elios shook his head. "No need. He can take care of himself."

Elios agreed that Vega did not need to be told about her husband's situation. His daughter would definitely only be stressed and the recovery process would be disrupted. He was sure that Ren could handle his own business.

They didn't stay long at the Magnolia Café. After finishing their tea and cake and paying for their orders, the father and son duo went back for a walk through the Old Town and imagined how Vega spent her days in Almstad.

"Mischa, I want to buy a cafe in the city of Almstad. Vega used to work there. Can you take care of it?" Elios asked Mischa on the phone as he walked calmly down the cobbled streets of the Old Town and then over a wooden bridge quite popular with tourists.

"Magnolia Cafe?" asks Mischa who was walking along the lake in Rhine.

"That's right," said Elios.

"Uhm ... I don't think I can do it," Mischa could be heard holding back a laugh at his foster father's words.

Elios frowned in surprise. He was the wealthiest man alive today. There is nothing in this world that couldn't be bought.

"Why?" he asked grumpily.

"Because it belongs to Vega," said Mischa. "I actually wanted to buy the cafe when Vega was still working there because I wanted to help her. But it turns out that Prince Renald bought the cafe before Vega started working there. The deed of ownership has been transferred to Vega."

"Oh ..." Elios nodded. He did not expect this at all. At first, he was annoyed to find out that Ren let Vega work to earn money. But now, he found out that Ren actually let Vega work at the cafe after he bought it.

"Yes. But it seems Vega didn't know that the cafe is already hers? I do not understand. Maybe later you can ask Ren directly."

Elios nodded. He began to understand what Ren had been doing. Of course, Vega was never short of money that made her have to work in the cafe. Elios received the information that the girl was studying at a really expensive campus and everything had been paid for in advance before Vega took leave from her school.

He also realized that Vega didn't seem to lack anything. She always wore nice and expensive clothes and she looked healthy. It's just that she often looked sad.

Maybe it was Vega who asked to be allowed to work so that she didn't get bored at home and Ren had bought the cafe so he could give Vega a nice job to keep her busy?

Hmm ... alright. You're not so bad, Ren, Elios thought.

"That's enough for today," Elios said as he turned to look at his son. They had been the target of camera shots by many tourists in the Old Town who find them more charming than the canals, old churches, and various beautiful historical buildings in the Old Town area.

Altair loved this opportunity to spend time alone with his father. They looked alike and were equally impressive. He could see so many women steal glances at them.

Ahh .. in his heart there was only one woman, namely JM. There was not a single woman who was prettier, better, and more impressive than the supermodel.

Until now, he and JM still had not formalized their relationship, but their two families had known the closeness between the two since they were young and indirectly gave their blessings.

As for his father, of course, there was no woman who he noticed in this world apart from his wife, Aleksis. 

***

Ren stared out the hospital window and noticed the snow suddenly fell outside. It rained snow in May and the atmosphere turned white in no time.

Damn global warming, he thought irritably.

Spring was supposed to end soon and they would enter summer, but unexpectedly the snow fell on the earth. He didn't like snow in spring like this.

Initially, he wanted to go home by helicopter and continue his recovery process at the penthouse. The police have closed the shooting case and removed the police line from the building.

Ren did not like to stay in the hospital for long because he was not free to carry out his plans. However, with snow falling down like this, he was forced to postpone his return.

Somehow his chest felt tight. His thoughts drifted to Vega and a feeling of longing filled his head. What was his wife doing now?

Ren grabbed his cell phone and called Altair. He wanted to hear Vega's news from Altair. He suspected that Vega was still undergoing the recovery process and was not using her cellphone, because his wife hadn't contacted him for several days.

[Altair, how is Vega's recovery process? Is everything all right?]

It wasn't long before the reply he was waiting for arrived.

[Vega is still at Targu Mures undergoing treatment. Everything is alright. She has made so much progress. How are you?]

[I'm fine. I think next week I'll be able to visit Vega there. Please don't let her read gossip news on the internet. I don't want her to feel stressed.]

[Of course.]

[Thank you.]

Ren pondered and thought about the two people he still had to get rid of. Karl and Sophia. He wanted to return to his home immediately and recuperate, then secretly went to Holland and got rid of Sophia, then framed Karl.

Meanwhile, Altair kept his cell phone quietly. He didn't tell Ren that he and his father were in Almstad right now. They also wouldn't visit him in the hospital.

Right now their priority was to find all the information related to Vega and take down the person who was responsible for kidnapping her six years ago.
