I'll Teach You, Marianne.-Chapter 683 - One Soul

"How is it, Erick, have you found out who did it?"

"Why is it taking so long? Master, are you okay?"

"Jesus, I'm so scared."

Alice continued to babble in front of the operating room where the major surgery was being carried out by the best doctors at the Seoul National University Hospital to save Jack. Thirty minutes ago, Erick screamed hysterically when he saw Jack was lying on the floor of his room with a small knife stuck in his left chest. .

Luckily, before he fell unconscious, Jack had contacted Erick and asked him to come to his room so that Jack could immediately get help.

The hotel situation became chaotic when they found out that an important guest in the hotel was attacked by an undetected intruder. Aaron, whose room was not far from Jack's room, took him to the hospital with Rose, who looked very shocked to see that Jackson Knight Clarke was being attacked by an unknown person.

While everyone was in the hospital, Nicholas remained at the hotel, checking the CCTV footage to find out the perpetrator together with several police officers who had immediately conducted a crime scene investigation in Jack's room ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

"If you see the silhouette, the person who attacked Mr. Clarke is a woman," a police officer said to Nicholas in plain English.

Nicholas narrowed his eyes at the monitor screen. "Are you sure this person is a woman?"

"Yes sir, especially with the not-so-deep puncture marks on Mr. Clarke's body," the police officer replied back. "Possibly this perpetrator was attacking Mr. Clarke while trying to steal things in his room. Out of panic, the intruder immediately stabbed the knife she was holding into Mr. Clarke's body as a form of resistance. Moreover, the atmosphere in the room at that time was quite dark. It is most likely that this perpetrator panicked when she attacked Mr. Clarke."

Nicholas' jaw clenched. "I don't need your opinion about the way this intruder attacked my master, what I want is the identity of this person. I want you to immediately give me the identity of the culprit. If in the next 3 hours you don't get the identity of this person, then don't blame me if I call Interpol or FBI to solve this problem," Nicholas said quietly, full of threats.

The policemen's faces turned white as if the blood flow to their faces had stopped. They slowly bowed to Nicholas before finally leaving the control room where they were now. Nicholas had also advised the hotel and the police officers who came not to publicize the attack that made Jack unconscious. This was because they were afraid that this bad news would reach the ears of the pregnant Madam.

Crash!

Anne, who was trying to drink her favorite strawberry juice, suddenly dropped the empty plate that was on the chair where Jack used to sit when eating together.

"Put your feet up, Anne," Doctor Caitlyn screamed loudly when she realized Anne had dropped a plate nearby.

"Are you all right, Madam?" Luis joined in quickly asking Anne who was currently in a daze.

Anne stared at the broken plate on the floor with a sudden uneasy feeling, a feeling that could not be described in words. Her chest suddenly felt tight, like a big rock was pressing on it. She still continued to stare at the broken plates that the maids were tidying up so as not to hurt anyone's feet.

Doctor Caitlyn touched Anne's shoulder gently. "Anne, what are you doing?"

Doctor Caitlyn's touch on the shoulder brought Anne out of her thoughts. "Why did Jack's plate fall, Doc?"

"Maybe the maid put it too far to the side and it fell when you accidentally bumped to it," Doctor Caitlyn replied gently.

Anne turned to Doctor Caitlyn slowly. "I don't feel good, Doc."

Doctor Caitlyn smiled. "Don't think anything of it, it's all just a coincidence, Anne."

Anne was silent. She bit her lower lip quite hard out of anxiety. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Anne, Luis was currently sending a message to Nicholas who was in Korea to inquire about their condition. As a former special police officer who was very experienced, Luis immediately acted quickly to try to ascertain the condition of the unit which was currently far from them. Luis felt that what Anne said earlier was a warning that grew because of her strong bond with Jack. Back when his wife and children died, Luis also had a very uneasy feeling on the day of the incident.

"Now you better eat first. Afterwards, take your vitamins," said Doctor Caitlyn again while placing the roasted turkey slices on Anne's plate.

"I'm suddenly not hungry, Doc."

Doctor Caitlyn frowned. "No, you have to eat, even if it's a little. Remember, Anne, currently there's a princess in your stomach. Her nutritional intake depends on you, because she can't eat on her own. So you have to keep eating even if it's a little, today you've been doing a lot of activities with Christian in the garden."

"Yes ma'am, what Doctor Caitlyn said is right. You must eat, for princess's sake." Luis, who was anxiously waiting for a reply from Nicholas, joined in to chime in with the words of Doctor Caitlyn.

Anne moved her hand trying to reach the fork that was beside the plate with trembling hands. When she touched the fork and was preparing to take a piece of turkey, Anne suddenly dropped the fork, making quite a loud sound when the fork collided with the plate and made Christian, who was eating quietly since earlier, surprised.

"Anne..."

"It hurts, Doc, my stomach hurts..." Anne groaned in a low hoarse voice.

Ddrrtt…

Luis immediately got up from his chair and approached Anne. Without speaking, he then carried Anne carefully and took her to the sofa which was not far from the dining table.

Doctor Caitlyn immediately followed behind Luis to check on Anne's condition, who continued to whimper in pain, while Christian was immediately secured by a maid so he wouldn't see what was happening to his mother in order to maintain his psychological health at the direction of Doctor Caitlyn.

As soon as Anne was carefully laid on the sofa, Doctor Caitlyn immediately checked Anne's condition by checking under the maternity clothes worn by Anne. She wanted to make sure whether Anne's womb was okay or not. Doctor Caitlyn took a deep breath when she felt that Anne's panties still dry.

Luis, who was turning around when Doctor Caitlyn examined Anne, looked very worried. He couldn't believe Anne could feel what was happening to Jack right now. Luis currently had his cell phone in his hand which showed a reply to a message from Nicholas informing him of Jack's condition. In that message, Nicholas also asked Luis not to tell Anne about Jack's condition.

"You used to separate me and my wife, Lord. This time I beg you please don't separate them, let them live happily together until their children and grandchildren grow up." Luis prayed silently with his head down.
