Chapter 641 - Want You Without Reason
Jack could only stay silent when Doctor Caitlyn inserted an IV needle in Anne's hand. Earlier, Anne fainted after she vomited which made Jack panic. Luckily, Anne fainted when Jack was near her so she imdiately got help.
"It seems that in the first few months Anne will have to be in intensive care, sir," said Doctor Caitlyn quietly when she had finished placing the needle in Anne's hand.
"Does this happens to every woman who is on their first trister of their pregnancy, Doc?" asked Jack nonchalantly without taking his eyes off Anne.
Doctor Caitlyn smiled. "Not really. Anne said that when she was pregnant with Christian she didn't have a bad hangover. It seems your second child is more spoiled because he knows his father is beside him."
Jack's face imdiately turned pale. He knew what the doctor was talking about at the mont and the change in Jack's expression was noticed by Doctor Caitlyn, who imdiately patted Jack's shoulder.
"Everything that happens to us has been arranged by God well, so you don't have to regret it. The most important thing is that we don't make the sa mistakes in the future," added Doctor Caitlyn again, trying to calm Jack.
"Then what should I do now, Doc?" asked Jack quietly.
Doctor Caitlyn lowered her hand from Jack's shoulder. "Keep her company. It seems that this pregnancy will be difficult for her. Moreover, it seems that she has Hyperesis Gravidarum, sir."
"What's that? Hipe hype, it's really hard to pronounce."
"Hyperesis Gravidarum is a condition characterized by severe symptoms of nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and electrolyte disturbances in the body. Moderate symptoms can be treated with dietary changes, but if it is severe as what she experienced today, then she must undergo intensive care at the hospital to get fluids and nutrients from an IV. However, as we know, Anne is currently avoiding the hospital for fear of eting her best friend who is undergoing the pregnancy program. So I think she will only get treatnt at ho like this, " Doctor Caitlyn said at length, explaining the aning of Hyperesis Gravidarum to Jack.
Jack nodded his head slowly, trying to understand the aning of Doctor Caitlyn's words, but still he didn't understand. He really couldn't understand such dical language.
"Is it enough just to be given an IV, Doc?"
"That's enough for now, the important thing is that we continue to monitor her condition, sir," answered the Doctor Caitlyn again.
"What causes won to experience this, Doc? Isn't there a way to prevent it? I can't possibly have the heart to let Anne continue to undergo such treatnt, I don't want to see her little hand keep an IV needle inserted like that," said Jack hoarsely.
"Until now, doctors and health experts don't know the exact cause of Hyperesis Gravidarum. However, so experts say that increased hormone levels during pregnancy are one of the causes of Hyperesis Gravidarum. And the treatnt for Hyperesis Gravidarum can be seen from how severe the condition is. This affects the health of the pregnant woman. That's why I will specifically monitor Anne's condition, so that unwanted things don't happen," said Doctor Caitlyn again with a smile. She was happy to see Jack's concern at this ti.
Jack took a deep breath. "I entrust everything to you, Doc."
"Yes sir, while you are in Luxembourg then..."
"No, you must co with us to Switzerland when we return." Jack imdiately answered Doctor Caitlyn's words quickly.
Doctor Caitlyn imdiately turned to Jack quickly. "W-what do you an? Aren't you guys going to live in Luxembourg?"
"Of course not, I have to take care of the company and it's impossible to leave Anne here alone, especially when her condition is so bad like this," replied Jack quietly without guilt.
"But I..."
"Don't worry. I'll talk to Doctor Leo directly. Besides, Doctor Olivia is already taking care of Linda and Paul, so Linda doesn't really need your presence. Right now, it's Anne who needs you, Doc." Again, Jack cut Caitlyn's words without guilt.
Doctor Caitlyn was speechless. Jack's words literally left her speechless. Just like when facing the late Mr. David Clarke. It seed that this ti Doctor Caitlyn was made unable to argue with Jack, especially since Anne's condition was indeed unstable.
Not long after, Doctor Caitlyn left the mansion because she had to go back to the hospital, Jack himself didn't stop Doctor Caitlyn because Anne was already regained her consciousness.
"Who put this infusion needle?" asked Anne quietly when she realized that an IV needle was attached to her hand.
Jack touched Anne's face, which looked fresher, with love. "Of course Doctor Caitlyn did, there's no way I could. I can inject you, but I don't use a needle that sharp."
Blush! Anne's face imdiately turned red.
"Nasty!!"
Jack chuckled. "I'm like this only to you, Anne. Only to you, the only woman I love."
"You sweet mouth, very clever," said Anne angrily, turning her gaze to another direction to hide her face that was already as red as a tomato.
Jack smiled again. Slowly, he took Anne's hand which was attached to the IV needle and kissed it passionately.
"I'm sorry, Anne, I've been giving you so much trouble," Jack said in a low voice full of regret.
Anne turned her face and looked at Jack who was looking down and kissing the back of her hand.
"Because you're pregnant, you have to go through this kind of trouble," added Jack hoarsely.
Anne pursed her lips. "Looks like your child will be very spoiled when he's born, Jack," said Anne quietly, trying to change the subject.
Jack imdiately lifted his face and looked at Anne intently. "Really? If she is spoiled, does that an she will be born as a beautiful girl like you?" Jack's eyes lit up as he spoke, having a daughter from Anne was one of his big dreams right now.
Hearing Jack's words made Anne imdiately withdraw her hand. "Not necessarily, who knows he'll be a boy."
"No, looks like Christian will have a younger sister. It's fixed, no debate."
Anne was silent. She chose not to answer Jack's words because she didn't want to argue. Because suddenly her stomach felt hungry, Jack happily rushed to the kitchen to prepare the food that Anne wanted. She said she wanted to eat Jack's sandwich. Jack, who was very good at making sandwiches, didn't mind. He excitedly made the sandwich himself in the kitchen.
Jack's presence in the kitchen made all the maids excited. They couldn't believe they saw the master touching the cooking utensils in the kitchen. It's sothing they never imagined at all, even Noah, who is the butler, even recorded what Jack was doing right now as a keepsake.
After struggling in the kitchen for almost 15 minutes, four slices of sandwiches were ready to be served. The fragrant aroma of perfectly grilled bacon would make anyone feel hungry. Just as Jack was removing the apron that was attached to his body, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Yes babe."
"Where's the sandwiches, Jack? It's been a long ti, I'm hungry," answered Anne loudly.
"Yes, I will go up, be patient."
"Okay, one minute!!"
Damn, one minute! Without turning off his cell phone, Jack imdiately ran up the stairs to the second floor where their room was. Luckily, Jack put his homade sandwich on a plate that had a lid so that when he ran it didn't fall over.
Bang!
Anne, who was looking at her cell phone, which didn't make any sound, imdiately turned to look at the door that had just been violently opened by Jack.
"N-not yet a minute, right?" Jack stuttered with his breath up and down as he walked into the room to approach Anne who was sitting leaning on the bed.
Anne imdiately looked at her cell phone and was surprised to realize that her husband had just run from the first floor.
"You ran?" asked Anne quietly without guilt.
Jack put the plate he was holding on the nightstand carefully. "Of course, I don't have any disappearance skills, so I can't appear directly in front of you by running." Jack's breath was still rising and falling as he spoke, indicating how tired he was right now.
"I wasn't serious, Jack. You don't have to run like this," said Anne quietly, regretfully.
"It's okay, babe, I'm fine. Just consider having an exercise," replied Jack quickly as he sat down next to Anne. "Want to eat now?"
Anne nodded her head. "Yes, but feed ."
Jack was stunned to hear Anne's words, but no doubt he imdiately fed Anne patiently. And it looked like Anne was really hungry right now. She was eating voraciously on Jack's sandwiches.
"It's like going back seven years ago when we were still at Newcastle Upon Tyne," said Anne quietly with her mouth full of food.
Jack smiled. "I'm sorry, Anne, if I hadn't kept my identity hidden and told you the truth we might have been happy seven years ago. Maybe Christian and his siblings right now ..."
"Everything that happens in our lives is arranged by God, Jack. Our eting in Newcastle Upon Tyne, your fall in the English Channel and our eting with Grandpa. Everything was arranged by God, just imagine if you didn't fall in the English Channel five years ago? You wouldn't et your biological grandfather."
Jack's face changed. He was silent and could not answer Anne's words. Because what Anne said was true. If he hadn't had an accident in the English Channel, he might never have known that he still had a grandfather and a twin brother who was brutally murdered. So that now he changed his last na to Clarke, according to his father's surna before he left ho with his mother decades ago because his marriage to his mother was not approved by his grandfather.
Silently, Jack raised his hand and touched Anne's soft, bare cheek. "I don't know what I would do if I lived without you, Anne. Thank you for still giving a second chance and coming back to ."
Anne kissed Jack's hand which was touching her cheek. "I want you for no reason, Jack."
