I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 692 - Healing Wounds

News of the death of Jackson Knight Clarke's daughter was like a virus that spread rapidly. The search for Jackson Knight Clarke's name became the top on almost all social media. Some nosy journalists began to write various articles where course the truth was distorted, because to this day either Jack or the Clarke family in Luxembourg had remained silent.

Photos of the princess's grave that were still wet also appeared in all mass media. The name Jackson Knight Clarke as the father of the baby buried in that place was clearly written on the tomb, and as previously guessed, the names Calvin and Megan Muller were also mentioned. Some people began to highlight the difference in the last name of the husband and wife who had been dead for many years with the last name of Jack, their only son. Although Jack had previously discussed this matter, in fact, there were still naughty journalists who were bringing this case up again.

Jack, who had just changed the bandage on his chest, took a deep breath when he saw the news on the television. Almost all television stations had broadcast news about his family. Actually Jack was the type of person who was indifferent and didn't care about news about him, but this time, he didn't He looked very unhappy to see the news that was being talked about by everyone and everyone who was in the same room with Jack was aware of this, including Aaron and Rose, his wife, who had clung to Aaron because she felt a piercing cold from Jack.

"Do you want them to apologize for all this news, sir?" Erick asked quietly.

Jack smiled, but the problem was that his smile seemed very odd in the current situation. "Just let them be. The most important thing is to take care of Anne. Don't let Anne see this news, Anne's healing is the main priority right now than dealing with cheap news like this. Heartless humans who laugh and take advantage of other people's grief, it's disgusting."

Jack's words were low, but so sharp and painful that it made the silence in the room even more. No one dared to open their mouths, even the dissident Alice suddenly became a quiet girl. She seemed to realize that this time the situation was different.

Slowly, Jack got up and buttoned his shirt again after Doctor Kang finished giving medicine to his surgery scars.

"Order two commercial airline tickets, I want to calm myself together with Anne without any bodyguards or interference from anyone. At least, this is what I have to do to heal the wounds in our hearts," he said slowly giving orders to Erick who was standing closest to him.

"Where are you going, sir?"

"Austria."

Erick immediately swallowed his saliva quickly. He then turned to Luis, who had only been standing by leaning against the wall without opening his mouth.

Luis who understood the meaning of Erick's gaze then smiled faintly. He then grabbed a chair and immediately sat in front of Jack who was getting up from the sofa where he was sitting.

"I will prepare everything, without bodyguards and private planes. How long are you going to be gone?" Luis asked quietly.

Everyone in the place immediately turned to Luis. They couldn't believe Luis would say something like that, agreeing to Jack's wish to exile with Anne to Austria, a beautiful country not too far from Switzerland.

Jack glared at Luis. "Just prepare everything. Inform me when they're ready."

"Yes sir."

Without another word, Jack then got up from the sofa and walked towards the door, leaving everyone to visit Anne in her treatment room which was in front of the room he had just left.

"Are you kidding, Luis? Why did you let Jack go?" Aaron immediately shouted loudly at Luis.

Luis smiled at Aaron. "Right now they both need some time to heal their wounds, Mr Connery. And it would be far better if they went alone without being disturbed by anyone. After all that had happened over the past few days, Master and Madam needed a comfortable place to cool off."

"But the project in Korea? We're just getting started and it's highly unlikely that Jack will leave this project, you know how much money has been put into this project."

"I know sir, so I will ask Nicholas to accompany you in Korea to complete the project on his behalf, while Erick and Alice will remain in Switzerland to manage Muller Finance International and Clarke Enterprise. I myself will be going back and forth between Luxembourg-Switzerland to monitor everything," said Luis Long calmly. His way of speaking was very organized and similar to the late Mr. David Clarke who was always calm when he faced problems.

"But how can I replace Master in Korea, Luis? I'm not as smart as Master and..."

"How long have you been with Master, Nick?" Luis interrupted Nicholas quickly.

Nicholas immediately looked down and didn't dare look at Luis. He had realized his mistake.

"Right now there's no other choice for us but to divide the work like this. Give them both time to cool off. Don't worry, you won't be working alone, Nick. There's Mr. Connery to help you. I will help you as much as I can, and so are Erick and Alice. Believe me, what we are doing now is not comparable to the pain experienced by Master and Madam," said Luis again, trying to ask for understanding from everyone in the place.

"What Luis said is true. The only ones that can heal Jack and Anne's disappointment are themselves. Just let them isolate themselves for a while," added Doctor Caitlyn, after being such a good listener.

Erick looked up at the ceiling with his hands on his hips. This time he had to work as hard as five years ago when Jack was lost in the English Channel. But this time, Erick felt a little calm because there was Luis who helped him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jack asked slowly to Anne, who he helped to eat.

Anne smiled. "You look very handsome, Jack."

"You just realized that? Where have you been all this time, madam?"

Anne chuckled. "Don't start again, Jack. You're so easily flattered, so annoying." Anne pretended to be annoyed.

"Since our first meeting at Newcastle Upon Tyne, you've never complimented me, so it's only natural that I'm overjoyed right now?"

Anne's chest was pounding hard when she recalled the days of her acquaintance with Jack a few years ago when she had just arrived from Germany. At that time, Anne had actually admired Jack in silence. However, because she was still afraid to fall in love again after what happened to her marriage to Leon which ended in divorce, Anne became more careful.

"Back then, you were like a cold and cruel ice prince, so it's only natural that your good looks were invisible. Don't you remember how the girls who adored you were heartbroken when you refused to give them your phone number?"

Jack put the bowl of porridge he was holding onto the table and took Anne's hand, which was not in the cast. "Would you mind repeating everything all over again with me, just the two of us with no one around, Anne?"

Anne raised one eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean?"
