Chapter 490 - Anne's Healer
Alan immediately climbed into bed and touched Anne's face, trying to wake her from the nightmare.
"Anne.. .Anne..."
"NO!!!!"
A loud scream sounded from Anne's lips at the same time her eyes opened wide, full of fear. Her whole body trembled and was wet with sweat.
"Are you okay, Anne?" Alan asked for the umpteenth time.
Anne, who was trying to calm herself down, still looked down and didn't want to look at Alan's face, which now looked very worried. The memory of the terrible night when Alan raped her replayed in her memory. Even though it had been a long time since Anne had forgotten about it, especially since she found out that Alan was Jack, but it seemed that his fear returned when Alan mentioned the villa where she was treated disrespectfully by Alan.
"Anne ..."
Slap!
Anne forcefully slapped Alan.
"Go away, don't touch me. You're a criminal!!" said Anne softly, crossing her arms across her chest.
Even though his cheeks felt hot from Anne's slap, Alan wasn't angry, nor did he react to the curse that Anne had just said.
"Anne... what are you doing?"
Anne's eyes flashed with anger at Alan. "Go away! I don't want to see you! I hate you... I hate you....!"
Anne's chest heaved, showing her immense anger, cold sweat was pouring down from her forehead. Seeing Anne's unusual condition made Alan worried. Without fear of getting hit again, Alan approached her. He tried to give a hug to Anne who had kept her distance from him.
"We can have talk about it, Anne, we can find a way out together ..."
Anne immediately raised her hand forward, signaling Alan not to approach her again. "Go, Alan, I-I want to be alone right now. I'm fine."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I just had a bad dream and now I'm fine. So please leave me alone," said Anne quietly. Anne had spoken normally because she had managed to control her fear.
Seeing Anne was calmer Alan slightly relieved, although he was still curious about the dream that made Anne very frightened.
"Okay, tonight you sleep alone then. I'll sleep on the first floor," said Alan quietly relented.
"Okay."
After making sure that Anne was fine, Alan finally decided to get out of the room after wearing his clothes. He chose to leave Anne alone because he didn't want to cause trouble. However, just as he left the door, Alan suddenly stopped when he heard Anne was crying again. He seemed hesitant whether to return into the room or not. Alan suddenly thought of Doctor Caitlyn. He felt that he had to talk to his doctor regarding Anne's condition which had suddenly changed drastically.
"TRAUMA."
"That's right, Young Master. I think Anne is now reminded of what happened that night when you touched her for the first time," said Doctor Caitlyn again on the other end of the phone, clarifying her words again. "If the condition is as you described earlier, it seems that Anne remembers the incident again, even though at the moment both of you are married, but the trauma of the incident has not gone away. Moreover, it was the first for Anne."
Alan was silent. He couldn't think calmly now. The regret came immediately. "Then what should I do, Doc?"
Alan's voice was low and regretful as he asked Doctor Caitlyn.
"Heal the trauma, sir, because otherwise it may recur again."
"How do I do it, Doc?" Alan asked quickly.
"There are many ways, one of which is to give her good memories so that the bad memories of that night are gone or..."
"Or what, Doc?
Doctor Caitlyn sounded breathless, she seemed hesitant to speak and Alan could tell.
"Doc, are you still there?"
"I'm still here, Young Master, sorry I had to drink for a while."
"Yes, tell me quickly what should I do?"
"Take Anne to the place where she got her trauma and help her overcome her fear, so that the bad memories of that night will disappear," Doctor Caitlyn answered doubtfully. "But I can't guarantee that this will work, sir, however there's no harm in trying. I'm sure the cure for Anne's trauma is you, the person who injured her."
Alan's face turned red when he heard Doctor Caitlyn's words, the words that Caitlyn said were very memorable. Without saying thank you, Alan immediately hung up the phone. He needed time to digest the advice given by Doctor Caitlyn. Still in doubt, Alan then contacted Doctor Leo. Just as he had told Doctor Caitlyn before, Alan also told him the truth about what had happened to Anne. Doctor Leo gave almost the same advice as Doctor Caitlyn.
"Believe me, sir, it's not easy for your wife to accept you as her husband. Therefore, please don't hurt her again. No woman in this world wants to lose her chastity that way, even though the one who does it is the man she loves. So I ask you to be a little patient with your wife, you are the only one who is able to heal the wound in her heart. Not me or Doctor Caitlyn," Doctor Leo said quietly as he was about to end his conversation.
"Okay. Doc, thanks for the advice. I'll try to do it, good night."
Alan immediately closed his eyes after he finished talking to Doctor Leo. His guilt to Anne was getting bigger. What was on Alan's mind at that time was to be able to have Anne completely, then he was finally shocked when he realized that he was the first man for Anne.
"I did it because I love you, Anne, I really do," Alan said softly as he gripped the phone firmly in the palm of his hand.
Meanwhile, from a distance Nicholas and Noah could only see Alan sitting alone in the garden, wearing only his light sleep pajamas. The two men didn't dare disturb Alan who looked very serious. Nicholas actually wanted to report the progress of Roger's sabotage. Douglas, but when he saw Alan's unfriendly face, he cancelled his intention to be safe.
"The air is getting colder. Hurry up and call him in, Nick. I'm afraid the young master will get sick," Noah whispered quietly.
Nicholas immediately turned to Noah and pointed at his face with his index finger. "Me? Why should I?"
"You are young master's assistant. Do you really want me to ask Erick for help?"
Nicholas' eyes widened. "Don't even try, young master is mine. No one can serve him."
"Well then hurry up and approach young master, it's almost 1 in the morning."
Nicholas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down before walking over to Alan. But just as he was about to walk towards the chair where Alan was sitting, he suddenly saw Alan got up from his chair and walked quickly into the house, Nicholas' smile widened when he saw Alan was approaching.
"Sir..."
"Get the car ready, I'll be down in 10 minutes, Nick." Alan interrupted Nicholas' words as soon as he got in front of Nicholas and Noah.
"Y-yes, sir," Nicholas stuttered. He immediately ran to the yard to prepare the car as ordered by the master. Meanwhile, Alan continued to walk towards the second floor without saying anything. He ignored all the maids who greeted him.
