Chapter 690 - Another Surprise Party
Chapter 690 - Another Surprise Party
< Geneva, Switzerland >
After traveling for almost 15 hours, Aaron's jet arrived at Cointrin International Airport in Geneva. Their arrival was immediately greeted by members of the Warriors who were already at the airport an hour before the jet landed. Because until now Jack's condition was still a secret, as a result, Jack's arrival was currently being closely guarded.
Jack, who was still in a wheelchair, could only surrender and didn't say much when he was asked to take a different route on his way home.
"Where are we going, Erick?" asked Jack quietly after almost arriving at the cemetery area.
Erick was silent. He squeezed his hands on his thighs. Erick had not been able to tell the truth to his master.
"We're going to the cemetery, sir." Luis answered slowly the question asked by Jack.
"Cemetery, did anyone die?"
"No sir, we will only put these flowers on the graves of your parents and surrounding areas," Luis replied back.
Jack gave a smile. "Thanks Luis, it's been a long time since I visited them. Thanks for the reminder."
Louis nodded. Not long after, the car they were riding in arrived at the tomb area, Erick and the others immediately got off, leaving Jack and Luis still in the car. As previously agreed, Luis would be the one who would tell Jack about the princess. The decision was taken because no one dared to tell Jack the news. They were too afraid to open a conversation with Jack.
"Before going down, there is an important matter that I want to talk to you privately, sir," said Luis slowly starting the conversation.
Jack, who was staring at his men, who were already outside the car, immediately turned his gaze to Luis. "Important thing? What important thing?"
Louis took a deep breath. "Do you believe in destiny, sir?"
"Of course I do."
"On what basis do you believe in destiny?"
Jack chuckled. "Oh come on, Luis. You yourself know what causes me to believe in such things? Everything that happened to me and Anne over the years is what made me believe in the destiny and destiny of heaven ordained by God."
"Then how do you deal with a destiny that does not match your expectations, sir?"
"Anne always said that every human being has their own destiny, whether it's good or bad, everything must be dealt with because what happened to us is already arranged by God and… wait, why have you been asking me questions like this, Luis? What are you trying to hide from me?" Jack, who had come to his senses, immediately asked Luis a striking question.
Luis squeezed his hands on his thighs before finally reaching for his cell phone from his jacket pocket.
"I know you are a great and strong man, that's why I chose to tell you directly. I hope you don't blame anyone, because as you said before that everything that happens to us is arranged in such a way by God."
Jack raised an eyebrow at Luis' words. He slowly reached for Luis' cell phone that was given to him. Without speaking, Jack then pressed the play icon to play the video that had been prepared by Luis.
At first, Jack didn't give any expression until suddenly he saw a beautiful baby who was wearing white clothes seemed to be fast asleep in a baby cot and the baby had a face like Anne, the shape of her lips, the outline of her eyebrows and her nose were all like Anne's.
Jack's heart felt like it was being squeezed when he saw the beautiful baby being moved into a coffin. At first, Jack tried not to think too far. He tried to think positively and didn't want to speculate until finally Jack's defensive wall fell when he saw his last name was written on a piece of paper that was near the little baby's coffin.
'Princess Clarke' Jack could clearly read the name.
"W-what is the meaning of all this, Luis?" asked Jack hoarsely holding back his tears. He was still trying to think positive until now.
Louis held back his tears. "Madam fell while trying to help Christian who was climbing the balcony in the middle of the night and the princess couldn't survive the fall, sir."
Bam…!
A lightning bolt hit Jack's chest at this moment.
"Princess couldn't survive."
"Princess couldn't survive."
"Princess couldn't survive."
Those three words replayed in Jack's mind at this moment, his chest suddenly tightened. Not because of the surgical wound, but because of the indescribable pain in the chest.
Unbeknownst to Jack, tears were streaming down his face, even though he didn't say anything. The beautiful memories that he had spent with Anne a few weeks ago immediately swirled in his brain.
Slowly, Jack turned his gaze to Luis who was not speaking anymore. His gaze at this moment horrifying and extremely intimidating. Luckily, Luis was a trained person, so he was still calm when Jack gave him a murderous aura.
"If you want to be angry, I ask you to hold your anger because right now all you need to think about is Madam, Sir," added Luis again.
"A-Anne.." Jack stammered, his eyes slightly dimmed when he said Anne's name.
Luis touched Jack's shoulder gently. "I know you are very sad, but please remember that your wife is the one who really needs you at this time. Imagine how sad a mother will be when she finds out that the baby she gave birth to by cesarean did not survive. Madam is not only enduring the pain of the cesarean section in her stomach. , but also the pain of losing the princess, the daughter you both have been waiting for. So I ask you to please handle your emotions, sir. You can be angry and take it all out on me once Madam's condition improves."
"When did this happen?"
"Two nights ago. Madam doesn't know yet that the princess is dead. Madam is still lying in the hospital bed because her arm is broken, sir."
Jack immediately closed his eyes quickly. Hearing two painful news at once made Jack completely speechless. All the wonderful plans that had been arranged for the next few months with Anne and the children had been neatly arranged. Even a large cruise ship named princess had been completed, just waiting for a few small details before it was ready for use.
Jack bought a yacht for the princess when she was about to be born and the whereabouts of the yacht was unknown to anyone but himself. Jack deliberately prepared it without asking anyone for help because he wanted his daughter to know that the gift for her birth was prepared directly by the father.
Jack slowly opened his eyes which were already filled with suppressed tears. "Let's go back to the hospital, Luis. I have to see my wife's condition first."

After the group of luxury cars with plate numbers starting with the letter C in large letters left the burial area, a person appeared from behind a tree. In his hand, he held a small camera.
"Let's prepare a surprise party," the mysterious person hissed softly.
