Chapter 731 - The Loss



About four hours ago, Jack, who was under the influence of alcohol, got a call from Doctor Caitlyn, who told her that Linda was in critical condition after giving birth due to bleeding. Luckily, Jack was a good drinker, so that in a half drunk condition, Jack was able to digest the bad news. Without thinking, Jack approached Anne and told her about Linda\'s condition. Anne, who was very tired and in a state of grief, at first did not take Jack\'s words seriously, especially when Jack was talking to her under the influence of alcohol. But after Anne read the message sent by Doctor Caitlyn, Anne finally realized that Jack wasn\'t joking.

When Anne managed to bring Jack down to the first floor, she was surprised by the presence of Erick and Luis who had just arrived in front of the mansion. It seemed that the two of them had also received the latest news about Linda. Because of that, the two of them immediately returned into the mansion. Anne was lucky because all of Jack\'s men were smart and understanding people, as evidenced by the time they left for the airport, Alice had taken care of everything well from the office. Using a G650 jet, Anne and Jack and their entourage went to Luxembourg.

During the flight, Anne tried not to cry. She tried to calm herself and continued to pray while holding her rosary. Anne prayed for Linda, the only friend who was very instrumental in her life, the only person who would sincerely befriend her without taking advantage.

"Linda ..."

"In the VIP room on the 5th floor no 15, Madam," said a nurse who was already waiting for Anne\'s arrival.

Without saying thank you, Anne immediately rushed to the elevator which was being held by another nurse. All the hospital staffs, who already knew of Mrs. Clarke\'s arrival, were getting ready in their respective places to welcome her. Therefore, it was not surprising that when they saw Anne was coming, they immediately stood at their respective posts.

Anne ran first, leaving Jack and the others. She was very uneasy and wanted to meet Linda soon. Doctor Caitlyn had previously said that Linda was still in a critical condition and was trying to be rescued. Therefore, at the moment, Anne was sure that Linda would be fine. She tried to hide the bad feeling inside her at this moment, although her lips kept saying that Linda was fine, but her little heart said no. Therefore, she tried to immediately arrive at Anne\'s treatment room to see her condition.

"Linda!!!!"

Anne\'s screams stopped in midair when she arrived at Linda\'s treatment room. Her voice was caught in her throat when she looked at the bed where now Linda was lying peacefully in a very calm position. Her whole body was covered with a white cloth, leaving part of her face.

Doctor Olivia and Doctor Caitlyn, who had previously assisted in Linda\'s delivery, immediately turned to the door that was suddenly opened by Anne.

"L-Linda..."

Doctor Caitlyn, who was closer to Anne, slowly walked towards her, who was now frozen right in front of the bed where Linda was lying. "I\'m sorry. Linda has been fighting really hard. But it seems God loves her more."

Anne shifted her gaze from Linda to Doctor Caitlyn. Her puffy eyes staring expectantly at the middle-aged doctor. "You\'re joking, right, Doc?"

"Forgive us, Anne."

Anne\'s tears were flowing again from her eyes. If Doctor Caitlyn wasn\'t there, she might have fallen to the floor by now because her legs suddenly couldn\'t support her weight.

"I\'m sorry, Anne. Linda has rest in peace. Her dream has been achieved. I\'m sure Linda must be very happy right now," said Doctor Caitlyn again, trying to calm Anne, who had started crying.

Anne did not pay attention to the words of Doctor Caitlyn. She repeatedly called Linda\'s name in a voice that was almost exhausted. Jack, who was already conscious from the influence of alcohol, could only stand still in front of the door when he saw his wife was crying on the floor in Doctor Caitlyn\'s arms. His blue eyes staring intently at Linda, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Jack walked over to the bed to pay his last respects to his wife\'s best friend, who in his life had never gotten along with him. Jack never even liked Linda because Linda supported Aaron to be Anne\'s lover at that time instead of him. But this time, when he saw that she had closed her eyes forever, there was a slight sense of loss in Jack.

His last meeting with Linda was a year ago when he picked up Anne and Christian from Abeerden, Scotland. At that time, Linda looked angry and did not show any friendliness, because Linda knew how deep the wound Jack gave to Anne. Jack, who was very sorry, persuaded Linda to help him persuade Anne to come back to him.

"Thank you, Linda, thank you for everything. Rest in peace, your son will be my responsibility," Jack said to himself as he lowered his head slightly. Both of Jack\'s eyes were a little teary. He still couldn\'t believe that the fierce woman had now gone to heaven in a very noble way, risking her life to give birth to the baby.

Behind Jack at this time, Erick and Luis also prayed for Linda in their hearts. The two men from different generations did the same thing as Jack. He shook his head slightly for a few seconds before finally standing up straight again.

"Linda... Why, why are you doing this?"

"You broke our promise of friendship, Linda."

"Sob... Lindaa...!"

Anne\'s crying voice was so heart-wrenching and enough to make everyone in the room get carried away. Even Jack looked worried to see the condition of his wife who was still mentioning Linda\'s name in Doctor Caitlyn\'s arms. Jack knew how close his wife and Linda were. Because of that, Jack could understand Anne\'s sadness right now.

"I\'m sorry, sir. We couldn\'t save her," Doctor Olivia said quietly, breaking Jack\'s gaze on Anne.

Jack slowly looked at Doctor Olivia, who was standing on the other side of the bed, right in front of Jack. "No, Doctor, you and the others have done a really great job. Don\'t beat yourself up like that."

Doctor Olivia lifted her face that looked very sad to Jack. "We did our best, sir."

"I know you are the best doctors. It seems that God really loves Linda more, Doc. Linda is now in peace. We can\'t continue to mourn her. Don\'t make Linda\'s departure full of sadness. I\'m sure Linda is very happy up there. Her dream to have a son is achieved," said Jack quietly, trying to strengthen the very sad Ddoctor Olivia.

Doctor Olivia\'s tears dripped down her pale cheeks. Meanwhile, Doctor Caitlyn seemed to smile at Jack\'s words. Even though at this time she was still trying to calm Anne, who was still crying, calling Linda\'s name.

"Where\'s Asher?"

"There is a special room for babies with the father, who can\'t stop holding the poor baby, sir," answered one of the nurses who previously saw Asher\'s condition in the baby room.

Jack massaged his head. "How long has it been?"

"It\'s been an hour since his wife was declared dead, sir."

"Jesus."
