"Mommy's here, baby."
"You're save now."
"I love you, baby."
"I'm sorry, baby... I'm sorry."
Anne said repeatedly when she hugged Christian tightly in her arms. Christian, who had previously cald down, started crying again when he t his mother. Christian's cries made Anne feel even guiltier. As soon as Jack told the truth, Anne imdiately sat away from Jack. She didn't even want to be touched by Jack and asked the driver who brought the car to go ho imdiately without taking another round again.
With tears in her eyes, Anne hugged Christian and sat on the couch away from everyone, including Jack. Anne's body shook as she rembered what Jack had said earlier.
"A little while ago, there were two intruders who made a ss at the house. Luis got a gunshot wound while rescuing Christian."
The words that Jack said imdiately made all the joints in Anne's body feel weak, her blood cells lted. Anne even felt like her whole body has turned to jelly when Jack ntioned that Luis had been shot while saving Christian.
Therefore, when the car stopped at the front gate waiting for the queue to enter after passing the police check, Anne imdiately opened the car door and ran into the house barefoot. She chose to take off her beautiful high heels so that she could run faster, which made Jack and everyone who saw it surprised. Because Anne was running from the gate, Jack finally chose to do the sa thing. He ran right behind Anne who kept calling Christian's na.
"We will work with all the Schengen countries to investigate this attack, sir. This attack is already an act of terror and we must thoroughly investigate this case," said Enrico, a Luxembourg city police officer who was very familiar with the late Mr. David Clarke, Jack's grandfather.
Jack growled. "You have to! You don't have to worry about operational funds. I will guarantee everything."
Enrico shook his head. "No sir, the late Mr. David Clarke has helped us a lot in his life. So what we are going to do is an obligation that you don't have to pay."
"Okay, just tell what you need later. My assistant will take care of it right away," Jack said quietly as he turned to Anne, who was still sobbing while hugging Christian.
Seeing Jack look at his wife, Enrico smiled. "Naturally, sir. Madam must be very shocked, especially after what happened to your son earlier."
"Yes, you are right. It seems my wife is very scared."
Enrico patted Jack lightly on the shoulder before finally going to et Luis, who was a forr colleague of his when Luis was still working as a policeman. Enrico then sat down next to Luis and started having a serious conversation with the man who had just been shot.
Jack then busied himself, accompanying other mbers of the police to check his yard, which was a little ssy because he didn't dare to approach Anne. Jack realized that Anne was furious at him for not telling her about what happened to Christian right away.
"Mommy..."
"Yes, baby. What's wrong? Do you want anything?" asked Anne softly.
"Princess, where is princess? Why is Mommy's stomach not big anymore?" Christian asked innocently.
Anne's tongue was stiff and her chest felt tight when Christian asked where the princess who had left without him even touching her.
"Princess is now happy with Grandpa and Grandma in heaven, dear."
"In heaven?" Christian's blue eyes widen as he spoke.
Anne nodded her head with tears in her eyes. "Yeah, let's just pray for the princess. I hope the princesses can be happy and have fun in heaven."
As if he was a grown up, Christian slowly wiped his mother's tears with his two small hands, "Can we follow the princess to heaven, Mommy?"
"You can, of course you can. One day our whole family will be united in heaven," answered Anne, holding back tears.
"Yeess... I can et princess in heaven. I can't wait Mommy!!" Christian exclaid innocently.
Noah and several other servants could only be silent when Christian said that, even Luis, who was talking to Enrico, turned his gaze away when Christian wanted to et the princess in heaven. Children's words were sotis painful for adults to hear.
Because her throat felt dry after crying, Anne then grabbed a glass of orange juice from the table and imdiately swallowed it down. Seeing the mother drinking Christian smiled. Slowly, the handso boy's eyes closed on the mother's chest. His mother's warm embrace made Christian sleepy. Realizing his son was going to sleep. Anne then caressed Christian's back lovingly. Not wanting Christian's sleep to be disturbed by the noise, Anne slowly got up from her seat and led Christian up to the second floor. She did not care about the blood that ca out of her feet, the pain and soreness in her legs disappeared when she hugged her love child, the gem of her heart that she gave birth to in pain alone.
Enrico smiled sadly at Anne's bleeding leg. "A mother's love is truly extraordinary."
"Yes, there has been a lot of blood and tears spilled in this family. It is very painful to know sothing like this is happening again. That's why I ask you to please investigate this case thoroughly. No matter how strong the people behind this attack are, you have to drag him to prison," said Luis coldly in response to Enrico's words.
Enrico who didn't understand all Luis' words smiled. "Don't worry. I'm still as great as I used to be. So don't doubt ."
"Tsk! Don't talk big before the results are proven, Rico," said Luis curtly.
Enrico chuckled at Luis' words. Even though the two were already in different worlds, the good relationship between Enrico and Luis was still the sa as when they were still working together as special police officers.

"Fuck, why shoot? I told you to just kidnap the kid, take him from his nanny and use him as a tool to suppress that snob."
Leon's voice bood in his room as he spoke to one of his n in Luxembourg, who was reporting the current situation at the Clarke family residence.
"My plan failed! You guys are really useless."
Crash!
The cell phone that was just used to talk was now shattered on the floor after Leon slamd it against the wall. He was really annoyed by the stupidity of his people who were given such an easy task.
Seeing the angry master, Wayne Scott not daring to open his mouth. He chose to remain silent so as not to make the master's mood worse.
"Get the car ready, Wayne. I have to go to Immanuel's house to report this ss," Leon said coldly.
Wayne raised one eyebrow. "Immanuel?"
"Yes, Edmund Immanuel, Jack's cousin, who has been helping plan to separate Jack and Marianne."
Damn, the main mastermind appeared. The cruel cousin! ^^.
