I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 704 – Paying For Sins

The discovery of the woman's body at the bottom of the lake was first reported by a teacher from an elementary school who happened to be camping near the lake. The assistant teacher, who was fishing, was suspicious after getting a piece of cloth, while the lake was a clean lake. Feeling that something was wrong, the teachers did a re-examination and were surprised to find a rotting body at the bottom of the lake. Immediately after that they called the police.

The policemen who were previously assigned by Aaron to find out who attacked Jack at the hotel, finally contacted Aaron again and informed them of the discovery of the body of a woman suspected of being the perpetrator who had tried to hurt Jack. After further investigation, finally they found the fact that the woman's corpse was indeed the person who had been ordered to injure Jack at the orders of Giselle Allen, a woman of Swiss citizenship who knew Jack very well.

"A-are you Giselle would do such a cruel thing, Jack?" Anne asked quietly when Jack had finished.

Jack took a deep breath. "I don't know, but all the evidence the police have is pointing at Giselle."

Anne was silent for a long time before finally looking at Jack who was playing with his cell phone.

"During the time you were friends, did Giselle ever do anything to make you angry, Jack?"

"No, Giselle is a shy kid. Being bullied for years because of her appearance made her not brave enough to make friends with other girls. She just followed me wherever I went, even though my friends made her an errand girl."

Anne raised one eyebrow. "Made an errand girl?"

"Yes, she was asked to bring snacks, drinks and other things when we played basketball. That method was quite cruel actually, but it was effective in making her not to be bullied anymore, because we basketball kids would definitely defend her if another girl tried to bully her," replied Jack quietly, remembering his school days.

Anne pursed her lips. "Then what's the difference between you guys and the girls? Both were taking advantage of her."

Jack smiled. "Well, it can't be helped. Don't worry about it. It's over and I'm sure Giselle herself wouldn't want to remember those dark times. But why are you asking about our school days, Anne?"

Anne took a deep breath. "I dunno, I have a feeling it wasn't her. She adores you too much, Jack. So it's impossible for someone like that to hurt you."

Jack wrapped his arms around Anne's waist and pulled her into his arms. "Let's not talk about other people. Right now I want to make out with you, so stop talking about Giselle or anyone else, even if Giselle is guilty, the police will definitely intervene."

"You, come on, let's go to sleep. I'm tired. We have to work again tomorrow morning," said Anne quietly, yawning.

Jack looked at Anne with a disappointed look. His hopes of making out with Anne vanished because Anne seemed really tired.

After turning off the television, Anne then rushed up to the bed which was not far from the sofa. She seemed really tired. Evidently not long after her head touched the pillow, she was fast asleep. Because there were no friends to chat with, Jack then decided to follow Anne to sleep. His drowsiness suddenly came when he saw Anne covering her body with a blanket.

But just as he was about to step into the bed, his smart phone rang.

"Tsk! This human is just annoying," said Jack curtly when he saw Aaron's name appear on the screen of his cell phone.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked with irritation when he received an incoming call from Aaron.

"Turn on the video mode right now, I have something important to show you," said Aaron quickly.

Jack who didn't want to waste any time then did as Aaron asked.

"What's this?" Jack asked confused when he saw the screen of his cell phone which showed a pile of documents.

"This is a document that we found from the room of the woman named Kim Min Si who was found dead at the bottom of the lake. In these documents, the conversation between Kim Min Si and Giselle Allen is clear. It's just that I feel a little odd," said Aaron quietly.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "Odd? What's odd?"

"All of these conversations are from emails that have been printed and everything is arranged quite neatly on the table and as if it has been provided. Somehow, I feel like this is a fabrication. Because for a criminal who has carried out a stabbing attempt, it shouldn't be this neat, and she left evidences in the place where she lived. At least, the criminals would have hidden them or lost evidence, not like this."

"Don't play smart, Aaron. Who knows she really is a reckless villain, so something like that might happen," Jack answered quietly with tears in his eyes from yawning.

"I'm not playing smart. It's just that that's the way they do in the movies I watch, Jack."

Jack laughed so loudly that it made Anne groan in annoyance. Jack, who realized his mistake, immediately closed his lips tightly.

"You'd better stop watching useless movies like that, Aaron. Watch more National Geographic so you'll realize the damage to this earth is getting worse. I'm very tired and very sleepy. We will continue again tomorrow, bye."

Without waiting for Aaron's answer, Jack unilaterally hung up the international call. He really could barely open his eyes. Jack was too lazy to talk about the stabbing incident that he experienced in Korea, because it would remind him of losing the princess. Currently, Jack and Anne were actually healing themselves from feeling disappointed and sad over the princess's unexpected departure. Therefore, Jack chose to end his conversation with Aaron and preferred to go to sleep with Anne who was previously disturbed because he laughed too loudly. 

Shortly after Jack closed his eyes, an email came into Anne's cell phone. It was an email from an old friend, a friend that Anne had forgotten about for years.

One mistake that Anne made was that she never changed her email, because that email contained several valuable emails that Catherine Ganke had written to her when she divorced Leon.

< The Geneva University Hospital >

"You have to take medication immediately, Miss, your condition is getting worse. Your body is starting to no longer accept drugs," said a doctor to a woman he had just examined.

The woman who had just been examined by the doctor smiled. "I still have work to do, Doc."

"Is that more important than your own life?"

"I've lived with many sins for too long, so right now my goal is to repent and do good. That's why I come to you to give me painkillers, at least, until I can atone for my past sins and get forgiveness. from the people I've hurt," replied the beautiful woman who was a little pale with an S pendant around her neck. Her eyes tearing up with tears showing great regret.

The middle-aged male doctor took a deep breath and said. "Okay, I'll help you, Miss."
