I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne spent her happy days with Jack in Luxembourg. It had been one week since Aaron and Rose returned to England that she really officially bore the title of Mrs. Clarke. Whereas previously, Jack had said he would use the name Muller, Jack finally decided to change his last name to Clarke, because after all, he is a Clarke and inevitably had to bear that name. His marriage certificate with Anne had also been changed from Alan Knight Clarke to Jackson Knight Clarke. Even though he didn't like his new name, Jack still used it for his grandfather, whose condition had started to decline for the past week. Jack wanted to make his grandfather happy because he had Clarke's name behind his name.

"So we're going to London? It's Aaron and Rose's wedding today, can't we come, Jack?"

For the umpteenth time, Anne again asked about their departure to England at the invitation of Aaron and Rose.

Jack shrugged. "Grandpa's condition is unstable, Anne, I can't possibly leave him."

"But the invitation..."

"I know, that bastard Connery forced us to come. But still, Grandpa is my priority, Anne, he's the only family I have after you," replied Jack in a rising voice.

Anne was silent, what Jack said was true. Grandpa was Jack's most important family right now and she felt a little guilty now.

"Hopefully, when Connery's wedding day arrives, Grandpa's condition will be better. So we can come." Jack again added his words to calm Anne.

"I'm selfish, huh?"

Jack shook his head. "No, who said so?"

"I'm bad?"

"No, Anne, stop talking like that. Let's go see Doctor Leo, it looks like Doctor Leo has finished examining Grandpa."

Anne nodded her head. She then smiled and walked with Jack to their grandfather's room where at the moment, Doctor Leo had just come out with several other doctors and was chatting with Luis.

"How is my grandfather, Doc?" Jack asked seriously.

Doctor Leo took a deep breath. "We can only pray, Young Master."

"What do you mean?" Jack's eyes widened when he heard the doctor's words.

Seeing Jack about to explode, Anne immediately tightened her grip on Jack's fingers. She tried to calm Jack in her own way.

"Mr. David has a history of coronary heart disease, because he is not young anymore, we cannot perform any surgery, because it will be very dangerous. Three years ago, Mr. David was actually predicted to have limited time to live, but due to the accident that killed Young Mater Alan two years ago, then a miracle happened. The Big Master survived and looked very healthy even though he still had to go to the hospital frequently. Sometimes, medical science will lose to God's power and this is what happened, Young Master, so Big Master can last this long," replied Doctor Leo seriously.

Hearing Doctor Leo's explanation made Anne immediately cover her mouth with both hands, while Jack didn't show any expression. However, he immediately turned his gaze to Luis, his grandfather's trusted assistant. Jack tried to find the truth of what Doctor Leo had said to Luis.

Luis, who understood the meaning of Jack's gaze, took a deep breath. "That's right, Young Master, the master's condition has indeed been very severe since three years ago. That's why Ivan and Roger Douglas tried desperately to find an opening to attack the big master's mind by hurting Young Master Alan many times. That reason also made Big Master forced you to marry Miss Anne at that time. His dream was to see you marry and punish Young Master Alan's murderer."

Jack immediately closed his eyes, his chest felt tight. Again he would feel the pain of losing his family again. "Why didn't you tell me about this, Luis?"

"Sorry sir, Mr. David forbade me. He even asked me to swear to keep this a secret from you and Miss Anne, he didn't want to disturb the happiness of your marriage life," answered Luis honestly.

Jack immediately massaged his sore forehead. He couldn't believe something this big was healed by his grandfather. Jack felt very guilty. For the past few months, he had only been busy with Anne and the companies, without thinking about his grandfather's health.

"Then what should we do, Doc?" asked Anne quietly.

Doctor Leo smiled. "Accompany him, keep his mood. Make him feel cared for by those who love him."

"Is that all, Doc?" said Jack quickly.

"Yes, Young Master, to be honest, I don't dare to take any medical action on the big master. I'm afraid that it would be a big risk, Young Master."

"Okay, I understand. Thanks for the explanation, Doc. Can I see grandpa now?"

"Yes sir, please come in."

Without a word, Jack went straight into his grandfather's room alone. He did not invite Anne, and she decided not to come in because she wanted to give Jack some time to be alone with his grandfather. Anne accompanied Doctor Leo and several other doctors to the main door of the Clarke family mansion.

"Continue to accompany the young master, Miss. He needs your support in a situation like this," Doctor Leo said quietly as he was about to leave.

Anne smiled. "Okay doc, I understand."

Doctor Leo nodded his head. He then gently touched Anne's shoulder before finally descending the stairs to his car which was ready to take him home. After the doctors left, Anne then went into the house and met Luis, who was waiting for her at the door. Anne was then involved in a serious conversation with Luis on the sofa, which was not far from Mr. David Clarke's room.

"Why didn't you tell Jack yourself, Luis?" Anne asked quietly.

"I dare not, Miss, that's why I ask for your help."

Anne glared at Luis. "But Grandpa's condition is like this, Luis, isn't it dangerous if we go to Switzerland?"

Luis immediately lowered his face. "I know, Miss, that's why I didn't speak directly to Doctor Leo or the Young Master. I wanted to share my thoughts with you first."

"Okay, Luis, I'll try to talk to Jack when he calms down. I hope Jack has another solution," replied Anne with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss, thank you for the help. Then I'll excuse myself."

Anne nodded her head in response to Luis' words. When Anne was about to get up from the sofa, suddenly Jack came out of his grandfather's room. Anne quickly walked over to Jack to ask the condition of his grandfather, but before she opened her mouth, suddenly Jack had pulled her body and hugged her tightly.

"Jack..."

"One minute, Anne, let me hug you for one minute. I have to ease my anxiety." Jack immediately cut Anne's words with a hoarse voice holding back tears.

Anne was silent. She then returned Jack's hug by wrapping her arms around Jack's waist. But instead, Jack put his hands on Anne's neck.

"I need you, Anne..." he said hoarsely.
