Chapter 450 - True Love
Within an hour, Anne had received two shocking news that made her almost faint. The two news were concerning the same person. After Doctor Leo and Doctor Caitlyn explained everything clearly, when Luis suddenly arrived, the man joined the two private doctors to apologize directly to Anne for separating her from Jack.
"Please blame me, Miss Anne. All this mess is my fault. I was the first to find and bring the young master to the big master. Don't blame the doctors, let alone the big master. They only did their job after I brought Mr. Jack. And one more thing, please don't hate the big master. He is just a grandfather who loves his grandson very much, a grandfather who is trying to find out who killed his favorite grandson who had died in a tragic way. I beg you, Miss Anne, please don't hate big master. The only person to blame here is me."
Anne closed her eyes as she remembered the words that Luis had said earlier. The former special police officer had apologized to Anne on his knees. He let go of all his big names in front of a weak girl like Anne to apologize. The man was willing to accept all of Anne's anger for the sake of his master. Considering that all of Anne's head was hurting so much, she still couldn't accept all the explanations from everyone at the moment. The big secret that the family was hiding was too great for Anne to accept now.
"The real Alan was brutally murdered, after that Luis brought Jack to be Alan because they turned out to be twins. Aarggghhh! It's so confusing...! But wait, if the real Alan was killed, it means that no one knows that Alan is dead. Oh God, I'm so sorry for him, surely he won't rest in peace up there, especially since the murderer is still free. Oh God, why do I have to be involved in such a big problem? My little brain can't accept all this, God," Anne said slowly while closing her eyes. The images of how Alan had been treating her came back in her mind.
The cold air that blew on Anne while she was sitting didn't make her leave her seat. She was actually cooling her mind down, as it was heated after she found out about the big secret that the Clarke family had kept tightly for the past two years. "Then now what should I do, Lord? All this feels so confusing."
From inside the hospital, Doctor Leo and Luis were still standing, looking at Anne from a distance. The two men had been watching Anne's movements.
"Will Miss Anne accept the young master back, Doc?" Luis asked quietly.
"I don't know, Luis. All I know is that Miss Anne must be very confused right now," Doctor Leo answered quietly without taking his eyes off Anne, who was sitting alone in the garden.
"That's for sure, it's just..."
"Let's just wait, Luis. Let's give Miss Anne some time to herself for now. I'm sure she will make the best decision, Miss Anne is a good girl. Trust me." Doctor Leo cut off Luis' words quickly.
"I hope so."
Doctor Leo smiled as he remembered Anne's words before he entered the hospital. Now he was even more convinced that Anne was the right medicine for Jack to restore all his memories. The two men finally left the place because they were called by Nicholas to inform them that Mr. David was looking for them both. Nicholas then was ordered by Luis to keep an eye on Anne in his stead. Luis was afraid that Anne would run away after knowing all the secrets of the Clarke family.
Nicholas, who was very curious about what was happening then decided to go out to meet Anne, who was in the garden. He cleared his throat to announce his arrival to Anne who was staring at the road.
"May I sit here, Madam?" Nicholas asked politely.
Anne turned and smiled at Nicholas. "Sit down, Nick."
"Thank you, Madam."
Anne nodded her head in response to Nicholas' words.
"How long have you been with Alan?" asked Anne quietly as soon as Nicholas sat down beside her.
"It's been more than 10 years, Madam."
"It's been quite a while, Alan Knight Clarke....what was that guy like Nick?" Anne asked Nicholas again.
Unsuspectingly, Nicholas told her what his master was like, without hiding anything. Anne was smiling occasionally while Nicholas was telling her some silly things about Alan Knight Clarke.
"He was a pleasant man," said Anne quietly.
"Young master is too kind, Madam, that more than a few times, his friends had taken advantage of him," said Nicholas quickly.
"Then how many women have been close to him? I mean, how many women have climbed into his bed?"
Nicholas looked directly at Anne with a confused look. "Madam..."
"It's okay, Nick, I just wanted to know," added Anne softly.
"You're not mad?" Nicholas asked innocently.
Anne smiled at Nicholas' words. "Why am I angry about all that has happened?"
"You won't be angry, seriously, if you know about young master's private life?"
Anne shook her head again, reassuring Nicholas that she wouldn't be mad. Reluctantly, Nicholas finally told her about Alan's behavior so far with the beautiful women who adore him. While Nicholas was telling the story, Anne did not interrupt him at all. She was actually listening to every word Nicholas said very seriously.
"The contract agreement that Young Master made was because he was already too annoyed with the women who surrounded him, Madam, because since using the contract system, the women who are still chasing him will be handled directly by the master's contract lover. So he didn't have to take care of it again, Madam. So in other words, Master's contract lover will take good care of him from the women who were still chasing him. Young Master used to say that all he did was fighting fire with fire, I think, Madam," Nicholas said slowly ending his story.
"What a playboy! How can he think like that? It's so annoying," murmured Anne quietly.
"But what he did really worked, Madam, the women who were still after him immediately retreated one by one when he had a relationship with a woman. I'm still curious to this day," said Nicholas honestly.
Anne smiled faintly, it was barely visible that she was smiling. "You know why those women would do that, Nick?"
"No ma'am," Nicholas answered simply.
"That's because we women will do whatever it takes to keep what's already owned, Nick, both favorite items and partners. Women are God's creatures who are the best at hiding their feelings. They're just pretending to be stupid to formulate the next strategy. Just like what Alan's women did before, so you don't have to be surprised if when Alan has a relationship with one of his women, the other bees stay away," said Anne quietly with a smile.
Nicholas was silent as he digested the words that Anne had just said. In his years of working with Alan, this was the first time he had heard such a sentence from a woman who was not at all jealous when she heard her partner's actions with other women. Nicholas really didn't understand Anne's way of thinking.
"Where are you going, Madam?" Nicholas asked in surprise when he saw Anne suddenly got up from her chair and walked down the path.
"I'm going inside to see my husband. There are many things I want to talk to him about when he wakes up. He owes me a lot of explanations," answered Anne briefly without turning to look at Nicholas.
Nicholas swallowed hard. "You're not mad at Master, are you, Madam?"
Anne immediately stopped her footsteps when she heard Nicholas' words. She slowly turned around to face Nicholas, who was walking quickly to where she was standing. "Angry? Am I angry at him? Hahaha how could I be? I just wanted to ask my husband a few questions regarding his promises to me. That's all, Nick, nothing more." Anne's eyes flashed as she said that and it made Nicholas feel depressed.
After saying that, Anne continued to walk into the hospital, leaving Nicholas who was still frozen.
"Haha I'm angry? No way, I can't be angry. I just want to teach a little lesson to the asshole who has dared to forget me, be prepared, Jack, you jerk."
