Chapter 602 - Alice's 'Disturbing' Words
When Aaron, Daniel, and Alice left the mansion, Jack looked very different. He was calm and didn't seem to show any hostility to Alice, which made Anne a little suspicious. She was very sure that something had happened that made Jack turn quiet like that.
"I'm going to Christian's room, you go to the room first," Jack said quietly as the car carrying Aaron and his men had left.
"Okay."
After hearing his wife's answer, Jack rushed to Christian's room and left Anne alone in front of the door. From where she stood, Anne looked at Jack without blinking. She was increasingly convinced that something had happened to her husband.
"Master was also acting like that when he found out that you were pregnant at the time, Madam," said Erick in a low, half-whispered voice.
"Like how?" asked Anne confused.
"Well, just like that, suddenly became quiet and went straight to the room," Erick answered briefly.
Anne immediately glared at Erick.
"Don't be bothered, Madam, just let it go. Later on, after he has calmed down, Master will return to his usual self," added Erick with a smile.
Anne did not respond to Erick's words. Her brain was still thinking hard about what had happened to Jack. Because before this, they were fine, even when they were enjoying dinner together, Jack was still laughing at Aaron's jokes. Anne was really confused right now. It was really Jack's drastic change in attitude that made her a little worried.
Luis, who had been silent for a while after hearing Erick's words, then approached Anne. "What Erick said is true, Madam, give him some time. When the Master calms down, he will return to normal."
"Okay then. Well, I've returned to the room first."
"Yes, ma'am."
Without another word, Anne then rushed to her room to freshen up. Because she had heard Erick and Luis' words, Anne finally calmed down a bit. Although at this time she was still very confused by the drastic change in Jack's attitude.
After the lady was nowhere to be seen, Luis then closed the main door and asked Erick and Nicholas to rest because it was already night. But because there was still some works to be done, Erick and Nicholas finally went to the study. Leonardo Ganke really hadn't given up. The man was still harassing their master's household. That was why they had to work hard to finish their job tonight in order for the stupid Benjamin Calum to realize that he was only being used by Leon.
Arriving at the room, Anne immediately went to the bathroom to freshen up herself before going to bed. Today was really a long day for her. All the unexpected events happened in less than 24 hours, from the firing of Giselle who actually had feelings for Jack, to her meeting with Chester Lloyd's only daughter, who was the victim of her own nanny's abduction to her reunion with Aaron and Alice. It was also from Alice that Anne finally knew how horrifying Jack had been when they separated. Even though she had heard everything from Luis, but still, when someone else told what Jack had gone through during his separation, Anne felt hurt too. Even though she herself was a victim of Jack's selfishness at that time, Anne still felt sorry knowing what Jack had been through for the past three years.
Jack stared at Christian in silence for almost 30 minutes. Watching his son sleep made Jack feel a little warm at the moment.
"Daddy won't let you grow up without the complete love of your parents, son. Daddy will make you grow up to be the happiest child in the world," Jack said quietly, touching Christian's face, which looked very similar to his.
The words Alice had said before when she came really disturbed Jack's heart and shook his soul. Indeed, what Alice had said really made him uneasy. After recalling Alice's words, Jack suddenly got up from the chair where he was sitting and hurriedly left his son's room and went straight down the stairs to the first floor. Jack's destination was the study where his two assistants worked.
Bam!
The door was opened roughly by Jack, so that it shocked Erick and Nicholas who was still working.
"You guys come with me right now, I have important things to take care of as soon as possible," said Jack loudly as he emerged from behind the door.
"Yes sir," replied Erick and Nicholas in unison. Both of them hurriedly put the files they had just read on the table again.
Even though they were currently working, but if Jack ordered them to leave, then both of them would leave. For both of them, Jack's orders are still number one above their mountain of work.
After closing the door to the study, Nicholas ran after Erick, who was already walking behind Jack to the helipad near the park. Realizing that the master wanted to go by helicopter, Erick and Nicholas immediately realized that they were currently on an important mission, because Jack would use a helicopter when it was urgent and didn't want to waste time on the highway.
"Where are we going, sir?" Erick asked slowly to Jack when he was already in the pilot's seat.
"Endenly."
"Edenly?"
"Yes, do I need to repeat that, Erick?"
Well, the master was angry apparently.
****
"Mommy...mommy...mommy..."
Charlotte kept whining, calling for her mother while on Chester's bed.
Currently the doctor was examining the beautiful child who suddenly had a high fever when she was brought home from the mall and it made Chester Lloyd panic.
"How is she, Doc? Charlotte is okay, right?" Chester asked in a hoarse voice. He couldn't bear to see his daughter continue to whimper in her sleep.
The doctor who had just examined Charlotte smiled. "It's okay sir, it's just a normal fever because of teething. This kind of thing is common in small children."
"But why is the fever so high? Are you sure it's harmless to her?" Chester asked again.
"Sure sir, Miss Charlotte's body temperature is still normal. Maybe because this is the first time Miss Charlotte is teething, so you are worried, but trust me, your daughter is fine," replied the doctor gently, trying to calm Chester who was panicking.
Chester took a deep breath. "If Flo didn't decide to end her life, maybe right now I wouldn't be so panicked, Doc. I really can't lose my daughter after what I've been through."
The elderly male doctor smiled and patted Chester on the shoulder for support. "Believe me, sir, you are not alone right now. There are good people who will help you take care of Miss Charlotte, like the kind woman who helped Miss Charlotte from the kidnapping attempt this afternoon, for example."
Chester immediately turned to the doctor quickly. "You know about Charlotte's abduction?"
"Of course, I'm the family doctor. So it's impossible that I don't know what happened to Miss Charlotte," the doctor replied with a smile. "From the photos I saw, she looks very motherly and sincere, if..."
"Really? Tell me who that woman is? I want to meet her." The old Mrs. Lloyd who suddenly appeared in her only son's room, interrupted the words of Doctor Albert, the doctor of the Lloyd family.
"She is the wife of Jackson Knight Clarke and the mother of a two year old son, of course she's motherly," Chester answered quickly. His voice trembled slightly at the mention of Jack's name. Even though he was quite an influential person in Switzerland, but still, Jack's big name made him think twice if he wanted to find trouble with him.
