Chapter 734 – A New Life Began

“How is my wife, Doc?”

Doctor Caitlyn, who had just wrapped Anne’s body, immediately turned to Jack who had just appeared. “She’s much better and is sleeping now. I hope by the time we land, she’ll be awake.”

Jack took a deep breath. “Thanks, Doc.”

“It is my duty, sir.”

Jack smiled faintly at the words of Doctor Caitlyn. He slowly walked towards the bed where Anne had fallen asleep after previously crying quite hysterically when they left Linda’s family home in the West Somerset District, because Linda’s parents did not allow them to bring Asher back to Luxembourg.

Linda’s parents wanted Asher to stay with them and allowed Anne and Jack to freely visit him. Linda’s mother and father said they wanted to raise Linda and Paul’s love with their own hands. Actually, Anne had no intention of bringing Asher back to Luxembourg because she was still thinking about Paul. But after Paul decided to commit suicide in front of everyone by shooting a gun into his own heart, Anne then had the desire to bring Asher back home.

“Asher is the love child of my beloved daughter and son-in-law, Paul. Although now they are gone, but I’m sure they want this child to stay with us.”

“Because Linda and Paul didn’t let us raise Asher, sir. At least, with Asher, we’ll still remember how much love my son-in-law had for my youngest daughter, sob…”

“That’s right. Asher will always make us remember the great love of his parents.”

Linda’s parents refused to give Asher to Anne and Jack after they returned home after carrying out Linda and Paul’s funeral which was buried into one grave. They decided to unite Linda and Paul after seeing how reckless Paul was.

Jack took a deep breath when he recalled the words that Linda’s parents had said to him a few hours ago. Actually, Jack didn’t blame the Johnson family either. Because, after all, Asher was their own flesh and blood. Therefore, Jack could immediately accept their decision to reject Anne’s and his good intentions to raise Asher in Switzerland with Christian.

Anne’s moaning voice broke Jack’s thoughts. His attention returned to Anne who was already asleep with an IV needle attached to her left hand.

“Go to sleep, dear, it’s all over. You don’t need to cry and be sad anymore. What happened to Linda and Paul has been set by God,” whispered Jack lowly into Anne’s ear.

As if hearing and understanding what her husband was saying, Anne’s moaning slowly disappeared. She began to calm down and went back to sleep. Seeing Anne regained her composure, Jack smiled. He realized that the deaths of Linda and Paul were a huge blow to Anne. The husband and wife had done many things so far to help Anne, especially when Anne left after the big fight with him four years ago.

Linda and Paul were truly the definition of true friends, both of whom took care of Anne who was at the lowest point in her life, until finally, Anne gave birth to an extraordinary healthy baby boy. The husband and wife were always there for Anne, where Jack should have been at such times.

After giving Anne a kiss on the forehead, Jack slowly leaned back in the chair where he was sitting and lifted his face high in the air. “I know you’ve all believed that there will be another life after ours is over. If there really is another life after this, then allow me to be one of your friends, like Anne.”

Unknowingly, there were clear tears dripping from Jack’s eyes when he said that. It seemed that it was not only Anne who had lost Linda and Paul but him as well. “Relax in heaven and please take care of my daughter like you took care of Christian. We will also take good care of Asher even though he is still with your parents. I swear I will make Asher’s life sufficient and always happy so that he doesn’t have to be sad because he doesn’t have parents anymore. Because from now on, Anne and I are Asher’s parents,” said Jack quietly before finally falling asleep in a sleeping position.

From behind the door of the room, Erick and Luis could only smile seeing the husband and wife sleeping in their respective positions. Luis was actually still a little shocked because Paul had managed to take his gun secretly before he used it to kill himself.

“The last few weeks have been really tough days for them, Luis. Starting from the departure of the princesses, then Linda and Paul who are her good friends, as well as Mrs. Steffi Ganke. I’m sure Madam must be very sad,” Erick said softly in a hoarse voice from exhaustion. .

“Yeah. I can also see how shocked Madam was when she saw Paul kill himself.”

Immediately, Erick’s hairs went down when Luis brought up Paul’s choice to end his life. “Paul and Linda are happy now, Luis.”

“Yes, they are already happy. To be united in their eternal home and in heaven, unlike me who is still trapped in this world.”

Erick immediately turned to Luis and immediately grabbed Luis’ hand. “You’re not planning on committing suicide either, are you? Don’t do anything reckless, Luis. Your presence is really needed Master and Christian. You don’t want the Clarke family to fall apart, do you?”

Luis chuckled in amusement at Erick’s nonsensical question. “I’m not a person who is that desperate, Erick. The proof is that I’m still here after my wife and child died in a premeditated murder. So don’t be afraid, I will keep my promise to the big master to take care of this family.”

Erick quickly released his grip on Luis’s arm and immediately hugged the man who was as old as his father, if he were still alive. “I’ve seen a lot of sadness and scary separations, Luis. And for God’s sake, I can’t possibly see the tears of sadness again. It’s time for Master and Madam to be happy after all that has happened so far.”

Luis patted Erick’s back gently. “Don’t worry, Erick. Master and Madam will definitely be happy, especially after they have passed all these heavy trials. God will not let His servants who believe in His power continue to suffer, believe that. God is preparing a beautiful rainbow for Madam and Master after all these events.”

“Amen, I hope so. I believe so too.”

Luis released his arms on Erick because his throat was thirsty. The man walked towards the back of the plane to look for a drink. In fact, Luis could have asked the flight attendants for help, but he preferred to take it himself.

After Luis left, Erick decided to leave the master’s room to join the others. Erick didn’t want to disturb Jack and Anne’s sleep.

“You are both good people, God must love you,” Erick said quietly as he closed the door of the room carefully.
