Alaric turned to the side and found a handsome young man with an oriental-looking face approaching them with a big smile.
This young man was wearing casual clothes and glasses which made him look like a student. Alaric was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel like the other's face was familiar. It was just that he could not remember where he had seen it.
"Dadddyyyyy ...!" screamed Jean-Marie while reaching her hand towards her father. Jean deliberately wore casual clothes today. That way, no one would recognize him as the movie star Jean Pierre Wang who died several years ago in a ski accident.
Jean walked with quick steps toward Alaric who was holding Jean-Marie, face showing how relieved he was that his daughter was fine.
"Ssshh ... remember I told you this is not a forest," Alaric said in a gentle voice. In an instant, Jean-Marie became quieter and joined him in a whisper.
