Chapter 454 - Back To Luxembourg
With her new cell phone, Anne called Erick. She hadn't told Erick about Jack's true condition because she didn't want to make Erick excited. She knew how much Erick longed for his boss, so Anne only gave a few hints to Erick. However, that small hint in fact still made Erick scream on the phone while talking to Anne. He was too enthusiastic and happy when he heard the news about Jack.
"I can't talk much on the phone right now, Erick. What's clear is that, right now, just follow my orders and don't ask me anything, because I'm not sure what to answer. When you and Alice arrive in Luxembourg, I will tell you everything,
" said Anne quietly, trying to calm Erick down.
"Come on, Miss Anne, just tell me now. Master is really still alive, right? He's fine right now, isn't he?
"
"Trust me, Erick, I won't let you down. What is clear right now is that you have to listen to me. Finish your business and come to Luxembourg at my request,
" replied Anne again.
Erick cried happily. He was really very happy and had never felt this happy after that dark accident two years ago. His voice sounded hoarse and it made Anne touched. She knew that Erick really adored Jack. Not wanting to be carried away, Anne finally decided to end their conversation. Anne didn't want to cry too. Now was not the time to cry because there were two big things that Anne had to finish.
When Anne finished talking to Erick, Mr. David Clarke and Luis arrived. Apparently, they had finished talking to the doctor of the Northern Norway University Hospital where Alan was currently being treated.
"Get ready, Anne, we're going back to Luxembourg right now,
" Luis said softly with a smile.
"Right now? But Jack and I uh.. I mean Alan, our stuff is still at the inn,
" said Anne quickly.
Louis smiled again.
"As we speak, your belongings have been packed by our people, everything is under control. You don't have to worry.
"
"Is that so? Thank goodness for that.
"
Mr. David Clarke pursed his lips when he saw Anne's drastic change. She was now more excited and less afraid. It turned out that his decision to tell Anne about his grandson's secret was right. Anne's true cheerful and happy nature was finally seen. Slowly, the old man took Anne's hand and held it tightly.
"I'm very lucky that my grandson can have you, Anne. Thank you for your kindness to forgive all my grandson's mistakes.
"
"As a wife, I have to accept whatever my husband's condition is, right? Moreover, we have promised to take care of each other long before the incident happened,
" replied Anne softly.
"We promised to take care of each other before that incident happened...
"
"We have made a vow before God at York Minster, sir, only me, Jack, and God who know about that vow. That's why I will accept and forgive all his mistakes, as a woman who I've taken an oath before God, I'm not going to mess with my promise, sir,
" said Anne quietly, cutting off Mr. David Clarke's words.
Hearing Anne's words, everyone in front of her was shocked, including Doctor Leo and Doctor Caitlyn who had just joined.
"W-what do you mean, Miss?
" Luis asked stuttering.
"Jack and I have made a vow at the York Minster Church. It can hardly be called a wedding because, at that time, Jack took me to that place without giving me any hint. I don't consider it as a legal marriage. That's why I still don't want to carry out my main obligations as a wife until he legalizes our marriage in the civil registry. But then, the fateful incident happened, and as you all know that Jack in Alan has... well, never mind, there's no need to talk about it. At least, I've managed to keep my promise that I will give my chastity to my husband, even though that's how it is,
" replied Anne with a smile. She felt reluctant when discussing what Jack had done to her that night.
Doctor Caitlyn immediately hugged Anne tightly. The middle-aged woman was moved to hear Anne's words.
"You really are amazing, Anne. Young Master is very lucky to have you. God bless you, Anne.
"
Anne just smiled and agreed to Doctor Caitlyn's words, while the men in front of Anne looked down. They couldn't say anything else because they knew what Anne was going through at that time was a nightmare for every woman. Doctor Caitlyn had just released her arms from Anne when the door to Alan's treatment room was opened from the inside by the nurse who made way for Nicholas, who was pushing Alan in a wheelchair.
"Okay, since the young master is ready, we can all go now,
" said Luis with a smile, trying to clear the air from the awkwardness that had just occurred.
Alan raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean, Luis?
"
"We're going home, son, back to Luxembourg,
" replied Mr. David Clarke quickly.
"Grandpa.. Anne and I still haven't finished our honeymoon! How can we go home like this? You can't manage us like this, Grandpa!
" protested Alan loudly.
Anne took a deep breath when she heard Alan's words. She slowly stepped forward and approached her husband who was sitting in a wheelchair and stared at him intently without saying anything. Seeing Anne looking at him like that, Alan's anger immediately disappeared. His courage immediately collapsed when he saw Anne angry.
"Okay, let's go home,
" Alan muttered quietly as he continued to stare at Anne with a resigned look.
"Ok, then we can go now,
" said Anne excitedly which was greeted with a nod from Luis.
Seeing Alan suddenly bowed down like that to Anne took everyone by surprise, especially Nicholas, who was standing behind Alan. He could not believe that his very rebellious master could immediately obey his wife just because he was stared at by his wife. It was truly a great miracle!
After completing the last administration, Alan was finally able to get out of the hospital. Picked up with two helicopters which were parked on the helipad on the rooftop of the hospital, Mr. David Clarke along with his two favorite grandchildren and trusted people went to the airport to fly directly to Luxembourg with the Clarke family's private jet. While on the way to the airport, Alan was very upset and nervous because Anne did not take the helicopter with him. The woman chose to take the second helicopter because she was informing Erick about their current departure to Luxembourg. Anne chose to separate herself from Alan because she didn't want her husband to know about the plans she was going to make, and at the same time, gave Alan a little warning so that his husband would know that she wasn't someone who was easily bullied anymore. Anne wanted to show Alan that she was not a weak woman, so she chose to take a second helicopter ride with Doctor Caitlyn and Doctor Leo.
"Help me, Lord, make it easy for me to return my husband to the way he used to be without hurting him, and also help us in seeking justice for Alan who was brutally murdered.
