I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 545 - Tormented

Chapter 545 - Tormented

While in Switzerland, Jack conducted a thorough investigation of the fake photos of Anne and Leon. He asked several professional hackers to reactivate the email that sent the fake photos. Jack even contacted Google directly to find out who the owner of the deactivated email was. After a fairly tiring process, Jack finally found out that Sophia Higgins was the only person responsible for the fake photos. This was further strengthened by a new fact which showed that Leon did not know Sophia.

Jack actually could have taken care of Sophia right away two years ago, but because Jack still needed Robert Higgins to help him retrieve the Muller Finance International assets that Edmund Immanuel had brought with him, Jack finally allowed Sophia to roam around him. Jack let Sophia enjoy her happy days, before his vengeance arrived.

"We've arrived, sir," Erick said slowly, waking Jack who was still closing his eyes.

Jack slowly opened his eyes. He was silent for a while before finally getting out of the car without saying anything to Erick. Since Anne had left, Jack's demeanor had changed three hundred and sixty degrees. There was no longer a smile on his face. No more words of help, thanks, and apologies from Jack's lips.

Rows of maids and servants dressed in black and white uniforms were lining up to welcome Jack, under the leadership of Luis, who was also seen standing tall in front of the door.

"Welcome back, sir," said Luis politely.

Jack stopped in his tracks and turned to Luis. "Haven't seen you in two years, you're just getting older, Luis."

Louis smiled. "Of course sir, we all change. So do you."

Jack did not respond to Luis' words. He preferred to continue his steps to go up to his room, ignoring all the maids and servants. Seeing Jack leave just like that, Luis smiled faintly.

"Is he still like that, sir?" Luis asked Erick and Nicholas quietly.

"Yes, as you have just seen, Luis, every time he comes home from work, he will definitely go straight to his room and only come out again in the morning when he goes to work," Erick answered quietly.

Louis took a deep breath. "Then how about Madam?"

"Nothing. We've tried various ways to find her whereabouts, but we still can't find her, Luis. She doesn't have any relatives or friends, her social space is very limited so we're really having a hard time finding her," Nicholas answered quickly.

"What about Linda and her husband?"

Eric shook his head. "We don't know their whereabouts either, we've searched Linda's hometown, but still the results are zero."

Louis took a deep breath. "No wonder you're such a mess."

"His cold attitude is nothing, Luis. You will know when you see him angry. He has turned into a heartless, merciless monster. It's really terrible, that's why when he gets angry, we all choose to stay away from him to be safe, ' said Nicholas again.

Erick smiled wryly at Nicholas' words. For the last two years, Nicholas finally knew what Jack was like. Unlike Erick, who had known Jack for decades, so he wasn't surprised at all when he saw his fantastic attitude changed. After talking for almost 30 minutes, Luis finally asked Erick and Nicholas to come in. He knew the two young men must be very tired. Working with a man with a broken heart was not easy.

Jack, who had arrived in front of his room, did not immediately enter. He was still standing there, staring at the whole room he had left for more than two years in front of the door he had just opened. While he was away Jack ordered Luis to change the design of the room, starting from the location of the bed, tables, and other items. However, even though it had been changed so far, Jack still remembered the position of his old room. Jack still clearly remembered Anne's presence the last time.

When he was staring at his old bed position, suddenly the events of that night replayed in his memory. All the harsh words he said to Anne were vividly remembered, including when he grabbed Anne's neck roughly. Jack almost fell if he didn't hold on to the door beside him. Remembering what happened that night always made him feel like the worst man in the world.

"Anne, how much longer are you going to torture me with this guilt? How much longer do I have to live with all these regrets, Anne? If you are happy with your new partner now, I'm willing to let you go, but please give me a chance to apologize to you and to our son that you took away," Jack said quietly. His face wet again with tears.

No one knew that Jackson Knight Clarke could cry, not even his two assistants. Feeling that his legs were getting weaker, Jack then walked towards the bed to lie down. Without taking off his coat and shoes first, Jack immediately threw himself onto the bed.

"Anne is pregnant with twins. Currently, her condition is not stable. Even though last night I have given her some medicine to strengthen the fetus, but she still has to come to the hospital for further examinations. We have to give extra care to Anne's womb, especially considering that one baby has already died."

"Her condition is very weak. You should bring her back immediately for treatment. Otherwise you will have to prepare to lose your second baby too."

"I can't believe there is a man as selfish as you are, sir. If I had known last night you were fighting, I might have taken Anne out of your house. Not only is your baby's life at risk, but Anne's life as well. Believe me, the pain of having a miscarriage is ten times that of normal delivery."

Jack, who had only closed his eyes for ten minutes, immediately woke up when he recalled the words of Doctor Caitlyn, who was angry with him when she found out that Anne had left the house. Even the gentle middle-aged doctor was so angry that she decided to stop working for Jack. Luckily, at that time, Luis managed to persuade Doctor Caitlyn to continue working for Jack.

Remembering the words Doctor Caitlyn had said, again made Jack's chest ache. It was a pain that the doctors in Switzerland couldn't find the cause. Because every time he checked himself regarding his condition, all the doctors said he was healthy and did not have any health problems, until finally Jack knew that the illness that plagued him could only be cured by Anne.

Because his chest was getting tighter and making it difficult for him to breathe, Jack immediately took off his clothes quickly and threw them on the floor. With his body only wrapped in thin cloth pants that protected his lower body. Jack walked towards the balcony. His body looked very different. Although he still had a lot of muscle that would make a woman waver, but Jack had lost a lot of weight. Even the engraving of Anne's name on her lower stomach looked shrunk. One month after Anne's departure, Jack decided to tattoo her body with an ink needle and engraved Anne's name on the lower abdomen.

"Give me a chance to make my wife happy again, Lord, I beg you."
