During the flight to England, Anne did not release baby Asher from her arms. The one day old baby had to be bottle fed with formula because his mother had already gone to heaven. At first, Anne wanted to breastfeed her, but Doctor Caitlyn forbade it. Even though she had been pregnant and her breast milk had accumulated, but it wouldn't be good for a newborn baby. Moreover, it seemed that Anne's milk had started to reduced because it had been a month since she became pregnant and lost her princess.

Linda's coffin was made of the best wood with large roses carved on all sides. Linda once told Anne that she wanted to have rose-carved furnitures when she managed to buy her own house. Therefore, Anne granted her request, making a carved rose in her forever home.

Anne's eyes were already very puffy as she couldn't stop crying. She still couldn't believe that her only friend, Linda, had died. Linda didn't look like she was dead. She smiled in her coffin. She looked very happy and peaceful. One thing that Anne still regretted to this day was that she didn't get to see Linda one last time.

"It's okay, Asher, Mommy is here. Mommy will take care of you. Mommy will make sure your life is full of happiness.

"

"You will be Christian's brother.

"

"Asher, there's no need to be sad, there's Mommy, dear.

"

Doctor Olivia wiped her tears as she heard Anne's words who continued to talk with Asher in her arms. The handsome baby with rosy cheeks smiled every time Anne spoke as if she understood what was being said to him.

"You must be tired, Anne. Let me carry Asher for a moment, you can take a rest for a while,

" Doctor Caitlyn said softly.

Anne shook her head.

"I'm fine, Doc.

"

"You're fine, but your body isn't. Don't you feel sorry for your two walnut-sized eyes, hm?

"

Anne moistened her dry lips with her tongue, her throat was very dry at this point. Continuous crying for almost four hours made her dehydrated, and Jack, who was currently sitting next to Paul, who continued to touch Linda's coffin, gave a code to Erick to give some water to Anne.

Without being ordered twice, Erick rushed to Anne to give her a drink.

"You need a drink, Madam,

" said Erick politely as he handed the bottle to Anne.

Seeing the drinking water that Erick gave made Doctor Caitlyn smile. The doctor quickly grabbed baby Asher from Anne's arms.

"Doc…

"

"Take care of yourself first, Anne. Doctor Olivia and I will take your place to look after Asher.

" Doctor Caitlyn immediately cut Anne's words quickly.

"Yes, Madam, our flight is still an hour away. You'd better rest first,

" Erick said quietly in response to Doctor Caitlyn's words.

Anne took a deep breath by lifting her face up. Her chest felt very tight at this time. Anne wanted to scream like she did in the hospital a few hours ago to wake Linda up. She still wasn't ready to lose Linda.

With wet eyes, Anne looked back at Linda's coffin which was closed.

"I haven't had time to repay all your kindness to me so far, Linda. I haven't had the chance to take you around Germany by helicopter like you wanted before. Why did you have to leave so soon, Linda? You're mean, you have the heart to leave me alone,

" said Anne softly in a voice which was almost gone.

Everyone on the plane immediately lowered their faces to hear Anne's words. Every time Anne spoke, everyone would be silent, because they felt the same grief and loss as Anne. Jack, who had been watching over Paul ever since, slowly got up from his chair to approach Anne, who was currently holding her bottle of mineral water tightly.

Seeing Jack coming, Erick then stepped away from Anne, giving the master space to talk to his wife.

When he was almost in front of Anne, Jack slowly patted Erick's shoulder.

"Take care of Paul, don't leave him alone.

"

Eric immediately nodded his head.

"Yes sir.

"

Jack smiled faintly as Erick walked past him to where Paul was sitting. After Erick left, Jack slowly knelt down in front of Anne and held her hands that were already ice cold.

"Linda is happy, babe. You've helped her achieve her biggest dream,

" Jack said softly, trying to get Anne's attention.

What Jack did was right, Anne slowly turned her gaze from Linda's coffin to Jack, who was now in front of her.

"We've already fulfilled her biggest dream, you know that right?

"

With trembling lips, Anne said,

"W-what do you mean?

"

"Asher. Wasn't it her dream all along to have a baby? And before she returned to God, we have succeeded in making her achieve her dream, so I'm sure now Linda must be very glad and happy even though she didn't travel around Germany by helicopter,

" replied Jack softly.

Anne's tears fell again, her eyes returned to Asher, who was currently in Doctor Caitlyn's arms. Realizing that Anne's gaze returned to Asher, the adorable chubby baby, Jack quickly grabbed Anne's fingers to make Anne focus on him again.

"If you want, we can ask Paul to stay with us so we can help him raise Asher.

"

Anne quickly moved her head, looking at Jack, who was smiling at her gently.

"A-are you serious? You're not joking, are you?

"

Jack smiled.

"I can't be kidding. Back when you and Christian were away from me, Linda and Paul helped me look after you. So why don't we take care of Asher now for Linda? After all, I'm sure Christian would love to have a little brother. You know how active that kid is. I'm sure if Asher was with us, Christian wouldn't ask about the princess.

"

Anne bit her lower lip hard. Being reminded of the princess who had left a month ago made her feel breathless again. The loss of her daughter, her own flesh and blood, which she had been waiting for, made Anne slowly realize her deep sadness over Linda's departure. Slowly, Anne's sanity returned, her brain began to accept Linda's slow departure.

"Now drink your water. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Remember, Anne, Asher really needs your presence. If you are sick who will look after our second son?

"

Anne's lips trembled violently, trying to speak but her voice caught in her throat.

"No, don't force yourself to talk. You better rest for now and don't think too much further. We will take good care of Asher. I also don't mind if he uses my last name as Christian and puts it in…

"

Jack couldn't finish his words as Anne jumped at him straight away, embracing him so tightly that Jack fell backwards and laid on the floor of the plane with Anne on top of him. Anne was very happy with the words that Jack had previously said, her chest which had been so tight since a few hours ago, slowly began to feel relieved because it could be filled with oxygen again. Jack, who really loved cleanliness, didn't mind his current position. For him, if Anne even wanted to be in the mud, it didn't matter to him.

From above Jack's broad chest, Anne looked back at Linda's coffin. She smiled warmly at the rose-carved coffin with teary eyes.

"You heard that, Linda. Asher will be Christian's brother. He will be a part of the family…

"

Anne's words stopped because she was asleep, being on Jack's chest made Anne comfortable, especially when she heard Jack said that he wanted to give Asher his last name. Extreme exhaustion finally made Anne give up and fell asleep.
