Chapter 634 - Sisters In Arms
Anne massaged her forehead which suddenly hurt. She still couldn't believe what she just saw on her husband's cell phone. Anne could not believe that she would see and et face to face with a woman as shaless as Giselle.
"Sorry if I startled you, but I have to tell you this so you don't misunderstand , Anne. I swear to God, I don't have any feelings for Giselle, that's why I'm telling you about this," said Jack quietly as he continued to grip Anne's other hand strongly.
"Who found this?" asked Anne quietly without changing the position of her hand from her forehead.
"Alice, she found it after remodeling her office that Giselle had previously used for two years. She accidentally found the flash drives in the inner desk drawer, among the piles of docunts," answered Jack quietly as he continued to stare at Anne lovingly.
Anne took a deep breath. "She doesn't just love you, Jack, she's obsessed with you."
"I know, that's why I told you everything. I don't want that woman to attack you with this wild side of hers one day."
Anne glared at Jack. "Then what are you going to do with her?"
"Keep her away from us, from you especially. I don't want her to be reckless and hurt you, that's why for a while ..."
"No!! I don't want to live separately with you! Didn't you just tell that you won't let go through this pregnancy alone? But why are you saying that you want to leave in Luxembourg now? I don't want that, Jack!!!" Anne scread hysterically.
Jack smiled lovingly as he touched Anne's cheek, trying to calm her down. "Don't get into the habit of cutting soone off, babe. Who said that I want to leave you in Luxembourg alone, hm?"
Anne bit her lower lip hard. Oh God, Anne forgot that long ago Jack couldn't hold himself back and sure enough. Within seconds after Anne had done her old habit, Jack had landed his death kiss on Anne's lips, devoured her greedily, regardless of where they were right now. And Nicholas who had been standing and watching them had to intervene. Without speaking, Nicholas turned around and asked everyone, including the waiters in the restaurant, to lower their faces and not look at the husband and wife.
Jack only released the kiss when Anne pushed him. She had run out of oxygen so she couldn't help but to push Jack away from her.
"You are going to be a mother of two amazing children, babe. So please get rid of that habit or I will continue to punish you," said Jack softly as he touched Anne's lips which were now slightly swollen from the kiss.
Anne gave Jack an annoyed look. "Ah, that's your only reason to kiss , isn't it?"
Jack chuckled. "Not really, I really don't like seeing you like that. I don't want any other guy to go crazy to see you like that."
Anne's cheeks felt hot hearing her husband's words. "S-so when are we going to the hospital? I can't wait to et Linda, I can't wait," said Anne slowly changing the subject.
"After we eat, I don't want you to starve. Rember, now you are not alone, there is a little one in your stomach. So you have to pay attention to all your food intakes."
Anne tossed her hair back. "Yeah, I know. Well, where's the food? I'm hungry."
Jack snapped his fingers, signaling the waiters to bring the food to their table. Not long after, delicious, highly nutritious food that had been selected directly by Jack, was served on their table. Anne, who couldn't wait to enjoy the delicious food cooked by the professional chef voraciously. While eating, Anne finally realized that the change in her appetite was due to the presence of the little one in her and Anne's pregnancy was not as hard as the first one, because she did not experience severe hangovers like when she was pregnant with Christian.
"Slow down, babe. I will not take away the food," Jack said quietly, wiping Anne's cheek from the remaining sauce.
"It's not , it's because of your son. He's impatient, he's very hungry. So don't bla ," said Anne, trying to find an excuse.
Jack smiled. "So you're like this because of the little one?"
Anne nodded her head quickly. She couldn't open her mouth because now her mouth was full of food. Not wanting to disturb Anne, Jack finally chose to continue drinking his favorite black coffee. For the last three years, black coffee was Jack's new favorite.
After almost 45 minutes at the restaurant, Jack invited Anne to go to continue the journey to the Clarke family hospital where Linda and Paul were. Anne's two friends were trying to get pregnant with the best doctors at the hospital. During the trip to the hospital, Jack told Anne everything about the program that Linda and Paul were doing. At first, Anne was surprised when she heard about Linda's decision to refuse to do IVF, but after being explained periodically by the team of doctors, Linda finally agreed.
"So at first, Linda thought that the egg cell and Paul's sperm would be implanted in another woman's womb, that's why she refused. But after being given an explanation, Linda finally understood and currently she is enjoying peace in an apartnt near the hospital with Paul," said Jack slowly.
"Wait, so Linda isn't in the hospital right now? So why are we..."
"The apartnt where Linda and Paul live in is very close to the hospital, babe. Apart from eting Linda and Paul, you have to see Doctor Caitlyn to get your pregnancy checked."
Anne imdiately covered her mouth when she realized her mistake.
"Linda has a slight problem with her uterus which made it difficult for her to get pregnant the normal way." Jack again explained to Anne.
Anne looked straight at Jack seriously. "What's wrong with Linda's womb?"
"Linda has endotriosis," Jack answered simply.
Endotriosis was a condition in which endotrial tissue was found outside the uterine cavity such as in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, to outside the uterus. anwhile, the endotrium was a useful mbrane lining the uterus which also played an important role in controlling a woman's nstrual cycle. In addition to making the reproductive organs turn abnormal, endotriosis was also known to reduce the quality and reserve of egg cells.
Anne imdiately covered her mouth tightly with both hands.
"But don't worry, it's not too dangerous. Linda has had her first surgery and is currently recovering in the apartnt with full support from Paul. After she recovers and is in good condition, the IVF process will be resud," added Jack in a low voice. He didn't want to make Anne sad because she knew Linda's condition was quite serious. Jack knew Linda was more than just a friend to his wife, so he treated her very well.
Anne was silent, she did not respond to Jack's words, until suddenly Anne grabbed Jack's hand tightly.
"What's wrong honey?" Jack asked softly.
"Don't tell Linda about my pregnancy, I don't want her to be sad. I know very well how much she wants to get pregnant, Jack. I can't bear to et her in this condition, Jack. I don't want to hurt Linda's heart," answered Anne hoarsely with both teary eyes.
Jack smiled. "Are you sure you don't want to see Linda?"
Anne nodded quickly. "Linda will know I'm pregnant, Linda is a very knowledgeable person about . She would definitely notice my pregnancy, Jack. I don't want to laugh at her sadness."
Jack gently wiped the tears that welled up in Anne's eyes. He knew that Anne would be like this. That's why Jack chose to tell Linda's condition when they were on the road. "As your wish, Ma'am."
Anne slowly nodded her head again before suddenly closing her mouth again and yuck...
Almost all the food she ate at the restaurant a mont ago now ca out and stained Jack's car and clothes.
Well, welco to the club, Jack.
