Chapter 451 - For Alan's Sake
The tension of everyone in Alan's treatnt room disappeared when they saw Anne coming with Nicholas. Mr. David Clarke, who had been silent for a while without saying anything, slowly smiled when he saw his granddaughter-in-law was sitting quietly as if nothing had happened.
"So do you trust now, sir?" Doctor Leo whispered softly to Mr. David Clarke.
Mr. David Clarke smiled at the words of his personal doctor. "Anne is really a good girl."
"Not only good, sir, it seems that your granddaughter-in-law really, really loves the Young Master. Because if she didn't, she would have left this place after we told her everything," said Doctor Caitlyn, joining in.
"Yeah, you're right, Doc. If this is how things turn out, I think I'm ready to leave this mortal world, following my children, Yolanda and Alan. I can die in peace now that I've seen Jack with the right woman," said Mr. David Clarke softly.
"Sir!!"
Mr. David Clarke smiled when he heard Luis and his personal doctors react imdiately to what he had just said.
"I'm serious, I feel really calm. I have you guys who will help Jack uncover the death of his twin brother. I also have Anne who will be with Jack. What else should I do when I have all of you? I trust the lives of the Clarke family to all of you, my best people."
Luis and the doctors who heard Mr. David Clarke's words did not dare to open their mouths. They were all lost in their own feelings which were suddenly confused. There was a mont of silence, until finally a soft moan from Alan woke everyone up.
"My grandson..."
"Young Master..."
The doctors turned their attention back to Alan, examining all of his vital organs to make sure that Alan was okay and could respond to any touch given to him.
"Where am I?" Alan asked quietly when he realized he wasn't with Anne.
"You're at the hospital, sir, calm down," Doctor Leo answered quickly.
"The hospital... Anne, where is Anne?"
Mr. David Clarke, who was standing by Alan's bedside, smiled. Slowly, he took his grandson's hand lovingly. "Your wife is out with Nick. We asked her to leave the room for a while to rest."
"So why was I suddenly taken to the hospital? I was with Anne at the inn then..."
"It's okay, Sir, everything is fine. You are just a little tired. There is nothing big for you to worry about," said Doctor Leo interrupted Alan's words.
"Really? But why are you all here when I'm fine?" asked Alan again.
"We're here because we're worried about you, brat! How could you order Nicholas and the bodyguards to go ho? Aren't you worried if soone bothers you? Rember, Alan, you're not so random person. Lots of bad people are after you, you can't go alone by yourself like this. Moreover, you are married, aside from your own life, you must also think about Anne. So don't do stupid things like this again," answered Mr. David Clarke quickly.
Alan laughed loudly at the sound of his grandfather's words. He was indeed wrong when he asked Nicholas and his n to return ho. But he had no other choice because he wanted to have more privacy with Anne.
Seeing his grandson smile again, Mr. David Clarke cald down. His fear disappeared instantly, especially after hearing Doctor Leo's report saying that Alan was fine. He only needed a few more hours to fully recover before being allowed to go ho. While answering questions from Doctor Leo, Alan didn't tell him about the last incident he had before he fell unconscious. He couldn't wait to et Anne, so he only answered Doctor Leo's questions briefly.
"So when can I go ho?" Alan asked for the umpteenth ti when Doctor Leo helped a nurse remove various dical devices that were attached to his hands.
"Soon. But you have to wait until this IV fluid runs out," Doctor Leo answered briefly.
"But, Doc, I'm fine. I don't need an IV," protested Alan annoyed.
Doctor Leo smiled. "You better obey or you won't be able to continue your honeymoon, sir."
Alan imdiately fell silent. He closed his mouth tightly. Doctor Leo's threat really made him speechless. Of course, Alan didn't want to end his beautiful mont with Anne just like that. That was why he chose to follow Doctor Leo's orders. There were still many things he wanted to do with Anne in this country. He had planned to bring ho Alan junior when his honeymoon was over, so he couldn't go ho now.
anwhile, Mr. David Clarke and Luis were now with Anne. The three of them had a serious conversation.
"So you really forgive , Anne?" asked Mr. David Clarke back to Anne.
"I think so. I can't bla you. Because, after all, what you're doing is also for Jack's sake. I can't even imagine if Luis didn't help Jack at that ti. Maybe now we'll never get to know each other and for sure we both would lose the people we love very much," answered Anne honestly. After hearing Doctor Leo and Doctor Caitlyn's explanation a while ago, Anne felt very grateful that they had helped Jack, because if Luis wasn't there, then maybe she wouldn't be able to see Jack now.
Mr. David Clarke's tears suddenly flowed. He did not expect Anne to forgive him so easily. Even though he already thought that Anne must be very angry with him, because he had ruined her happiness by making Jack beco Alan, who incidentally was soone else in Anne's life.
"So, now what should I do? Last night, Doctor Leo explained a few things regarding Jack's current condition, I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake."
Doctor Caitlyn smiled. "You don't have to do anything, Anne, all you need to do is to stay with him and make him rember the good mories you both used to have. With that, the mory of Mr. Alan that we have instilled in him will slowly disappear, and will be replaced with his old mories."
"Will that work, Doc?" asked Anne seriously.
"Hopefully it worked, because the therapy we have given him every 2 months for the last 2 years have been stopped since you ca into his life. Therefore, we are very confident that you will be a way for him to rember all the mories that have been lost, without endangering his life," answered Doctor Caitlyn seriously.
Anne swallowed slowly. "Then how about the wound on his head?"
"As long as he doesn't get hit or hit by a blunt object to the head again, we guarantee you that he'll be fine. We had a good surgery two years ago, so there's nothing for you to worry about." Suddenly, from behind, Doctor Leo answered Anne's question.
"Okay, I understand," said Anne excitedly.
Mr. David Clark smiled faintly when he saw Anne's enthusiasm about helping Jack to regain his mory back. When he was about to ask Luis to take him away from that place, suddenly Mr. David Clarke was surprised when Anne knelt in front of him.
"Anne..."
"Relax, sir, I swear I will help you find out who killed Alan. I won't let Alan not being able to rest in peace up there because the killer hasn't been caught, and until then, you have to stay healthy. Jack and I will make the killer pay for all of his cris," said Anne seriously. Her eyes sparkled as she spoke.
Instantly, Mr. David Clarke's body shook violently. His tears welled up when he heard Anne's words. Slowly, his cries were heard, the sad cries of an old man who had almost lost all his family mbers.
"Thank God... thank you for sending these angels into my life... Thank you, Lord."
