I'll Teach You, Marianne.

All the way home from the hospital, Anne didn't utter a single word. Her thoughts wandered in the air. Even though Leon had made a deep wound in her heart, Anne still felt sorry for Leon when he had to end up in a mental hospital. Anne, who already knew about Leon's childhood story from Grandma Catherine when she was still his fianceten years ago, felt unwilling that he had to experience something like this. Moreover, previously Anne had to see how Steffi suffered at the end of her life. Out of their triangle love story, only Anne who had a happy ending.

Realizing that Anne's mood was not good, Jack didn't want to disturb her. He knew that Anne's feelings were in chaos. That was why Jack chose to close his eyes with his back to Anne.

"Calm my heart, God," said Anne in her heart along as she gave a long sigh.

Jack smiled faintly. "If you still want to be with him, we can come back again."

Anne immediately turned her gaze to Jack quickly. "What do you mean?" asked Anne in confusion.

"I know you're thinking about Leon," Jack answered quietly as he turned his gaze to Anne. "I can feel it."

"No, it's not like that, Jack. I-I just..."

"It's okay. I know your story is not a simple one. You don't have to feel bad for me." Jack immediately cut Anne's words quickly. Although his lips smiled but the look in his eyes gave another meaning and Anne could read it. Jack was jealous and angry right now.

"I'm not in the mood to fight, don't provoke me, Jack."

Jack chuckled. "Who provoked you into a fight? Me? How could it be, I just..."

"Stop it." Anne screamed loudly all of a sudden. "Stop the car, Eric."

Erick, who had been a loyal listener since earlier, immediately stepped on the brake pedal quickly when he heard the madam's command. Jack, who was not wearing a seat belt and was not ready, almost fall forward if he didn't immediately reach out his hand to hold his body on the chair in front of him.

In a quick motion, Anne opened the door on her left and immediately got out of the car that Jack was riding on, to the car used by Luis which was behind Erick's car. Luis, who was busy with his cell phone, was surprised when he saw Anne suddenly get into his car.

"I'm trying to calm my mind, Luis. Don't ask why I changed cars," said Anne quickly as she sat beside Luis.

"Yes, Ma'am."

Anne immediately closed her eyes with her back to Luis who was smiling at her. As someone who had a lot of experiences in life, Luis understood what was happening. Therefore, he chose to remain silent and not interfere.

The convoy of cars that had previously stopped suddenly finally continued their journey to Jack's luxurious mansion. Jack himself could only be silent and chose not to speak. Jack had to quell the fire that was burning in his chest at this moment rather than worry about Anne moving out of his car. After traveling for almost 30 minutes, the convoy of cars arrived at the mansion's yard. As soon as Anne and Jack got out of the car, Erick and Luis left, leaving the husband and wife alone in their big house as Jack had previously ordered.

Anne had just entered the house after the car carrying Erick and Luis was out of sight, while Jack had already entered the house since earlier, even now Anne herself didn't know where her husband was.

"Looks like he's mad at me," said Anne softly, taking a deep breath when she felt the silence in her big house.

Just being alone with Jack in a palace-like house, Anne could feel Jack's anger stuck in the ceiling. Because her energy had not yet fully recovered after her hot romance with Jack yesterday, Anne went straight to the second floor without looking for Jack. By the time she passed the dining table, her smile broke when she saw the delicious food already served on the dining table. It seemed that the maids had returned and done their job when she and Jack went to the hospital.

Even though her stomach hadn't been filled since morning, but the drowsiness and tiredness drove her hunger go away. What she wanted to do now was sleep to restore her energy. It felt like Anne's whole body was crushed at this moment. Since yesterday afternoon until this morning, Jack didn't give her time to rest. Jack, who was now carrying a bottle of expensive wine that had the highest alcohol content, seemed to smile coldly when he saw his wife go straight up to the second floor. Jealousy and alcohol provided the perfect combination that made Jack's emotions controlled at this time.

"Push, Madam, I'm sure you can do it. Come on, Madam..."

"Don't sleep, Madam, just a little more. Your son's head is visible."

"Good job! Come on, Madam. One more push!"

Doctor Caitlyn and Doctor Olivia's voices echoed as they helped Linda's delivery process. After undergoing a pregnancy that was strictly controlled by the doctors, the day Paul and Linda had been waiting for finally arrived.

Linda felt strong contractions after experiencing fake contractions for the past week. Assisted by Doctor Olivia, who had been her obstetrician, Linda gave birth to her first son in the delivery room, assisted by Doctor Caitlyn. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

"Waaa... waaa..."

The cries of a healthy baby boy ended Linda's struggle to give birth to her baby normally. Paul, who had accompanied Linda's birth an hour ago, immediately burst into tears when he heard his son's cry. The child he had been waiting for for more than five years.

"Listen to that, our son has been born, Linda. Our child is very healthy, he's born," Paul said softly as he gave Linda a kiss on the cheek.

Linda herself was only able to cry. The cry of a baby she had longed for could be heard clearly in her ears. The pain that was whacking her stomach a few moments ago had disappeared and was replaced with a feeling of immeasurable joy.

"W-what does our son's face look like, P-Paul?" Linda asked quietly.

Paul smiled. "Handsome like me, but his cries are very strong. Our son will grow up to be a great and smart man like his mother."

"I want to see him, just once."

"You'll see him later. When you are ready you will meet him. Currently, Asher is being cleaned by the nurses," Paul replied softly.

Linda's eyes were wet with tears. Her thin lips were getting paler. Her whole body was shaking so badly that Doctor Olivia pulled Paul away from her side. Paul, who was shocked to see what had happened to Linda, looked panicked. He even struggled and kept shouting loudly when two nurses asked him to leave the delivery room.

"Doctor...! What happened to my wife, Doc?"

"Linda...you must be fine, you have to be strong, Linda. For the sake of our child, you have to be strong, Linda..."

"Lindaa..."
