Bab 391: Caspar's Decision

When night came, Alaric still hadn't replied to Wolf's message in Darknet, so finally Nicolae and Terry concluded that he did not consider Aleksis valuable enough to be exchanged with the rest of his group.

"What do you think they will do now?" Terry asked, subconsciously wringing his fingers.

"I think they would find another way. It is clear that Alaric Rhionen does not take rash decisions. My advice is that you don't go home until the situation has settled. We don't know whether he will send someone to find you or not," Nicolae answered.

"Should we tell Uncle Caspar about this ...? Or at least Lauriel?" Terry asked again. "They certainly know better what to do."

Nicolae seemed to think. He glanced at Aleksis' pale face. She was lying in bed and breathing with the help of a ventilator. Aleksis' condition was very dire and they did not know whether she would survive or not.
