Chapter 720 – [Bonus ]Solving The Problem

Anne woke up when the sunlight hit her face through the curtains in her bedroom. As soon as her eyes were open, Anne immediately looked for Christian who was still sleeping in his best position with his feet next to Anne's face.

Anne giggled as she touched her son's tiny fingers. "Whose child are you, baby? You've been sleeping like this for a long time."

After fixing her son's sleeping position, Anne then got out of bed to go to the bathroom, but just as she stepped on her feet, Anne was already wincing in pain. Her brain immediately replayed the memory that had happened yesterday. She immediately lifted her leg to see how deep the wound was after running from the main gate into the house without wearing her shoes.

"Looks like the wound is quite deep," Anne murmured softly when she saw the wounds on her legs that scratched the soles of her smooth feet.

Because she didn't want to have her feet infected, Anne then called the maids to help her take a bath and clean the wounds on her feet. It didn't take long for three maids to go straight to Anne's room, who immediately let out a small scream when they saw the soles of the Madam's feet were injured.

"Help me take a shower, I don't think I can bathe myself," said Anne softly with a smile. Except for her eyes which were still puffy and her hair disheveled. Anne's appearance was still pleasing to the eye. Her natural beauty without make-up made her look perfect even though she just woke up.

The three maids then approached the mistress, carrying her into the bathroom. Every now and then, Anne winces in pain when she felt a stinging pain in the soles of her feet. Luckily, Christian was sound asleep, so he didn't know the little screams from his mother from the bathroom when the maids clean the wound.

"Let's call the doctor, Madam," said one of the maids worriedly.

Anne, who was being helped washing her hair, lifted her head slightly and looked at the maid who was washing her feet. "What's wrong?"

"You have a stone left at your feet and I dare not take it, I am afraid, Madam," she answered timidly.

"A rock?"

"Yes Ma'am, on the soles of your feet there are two sharp stones left behind. We really don't dare, Madam. We'd better call a doctor, so they can get treated faster to avoid any problems, Madam."

Anne let out a long sigh. "Okay, call Doctor Leo, not Doctor Caitlyn. Doctor Caitlyn is on standby at the hospital because Linda will give birth soon."

"Yes ma'am."

One of the maids rushed out of the bathroom to call Doctor Leo, while the other two made a quick move so the mistress could finish the bath sooner. In a short time, Anne was already sitting on the edge of the bath with her body wrapped in a towel. It took a little longer to dry her thick long hair, after which all the bathing rituals were completely finished.

Anne winced as she felt Doctor Leo's scalpel begin to tear deeper into her leg to remove the two stones trapped there.

"Hold on, Madam, there's still some dirt to clean up," Doctor Leo said quietly from behind his medical mask.

"Why does it hurt so much, Ddoc?"

"It's okay, Madam. That's the alcohol at work," Doctor Leo replied back.

Anne closed her eyes as she felt an excruciating pain hit her leg when Doctor Leo again sprayed alcohol on the wound before being given medicine to eliminate any germs left behind to prevent infection. After administering the medicine, Doctor Leo began to bandage Anne's legs with gauze.

"Really, Doc?" asked Anne in disbelief when she saw the soles of her feet were wrapped in gauze.

Doctor Leo smiled. "For a faster recovery, Madam."

"I know, but this is too much. I can't possibly walk in this condition," Anne grumbled in annoyance.

Doctor Leo did not respond to Anne's words again. Actually, yesterday he had seen the wounds on Anne's legs. However, because yesterday the situation was not conducive, Doctor Leo did not take any action. Therefore, today he gave extra protection to the soles of Anne's feet. Because his job was finished, Doctor Leo said goodbye to Anne to return to the hospital. Before actually leaving, the doctor, who was not young anymore, gave Christian's hair-covered forehead a kiss. Christian chuckled in amusement as he felt the tip of Doctor Leo's mustache touching his soft skin, which made him look even more adorable and made Doctor Leo kiss him again and again.

From the bed, Anne was smiling at the warm sight. Doctor Leo and other doctors who work for the Clarke family played an important role in every detail of Christian's development, as the boy was getting smarter and healthier than children his age. Of course, Christian's growth was closely monitored, the potential heir to the Clarke family who had a business empire in almost all lines of industry must receive the best care so that when he grew up, he was ready to take on the tough task of leading the millions of people who depend on his company for their fortunes.

Anne turned to the maid standing by the door. "Jack, where is he?"

Really, Anne? It's almost noon and you just asked the whereabouts of your husband?

"Master flew to Switzerland this morning when you weren't awake, with Erick and Luis, Madam."

"Flying to Switzerland?" Anne's eyebrows rose as she spoke.

"Yes, what I heard earlier said Master wanted to arrest the perpetrators of yesterday's terror, Madam."

Anne immediately bit her lower lip firmly as she squeezed the edge of the blanket covering her body when she remembered the terror that occurred yesterday in the yard. Even though the culprits were killed, but Anne's fear came back, especially when she found out their target was her son, her only precious son.

"Calm down, Madam. Such an incident will not happen to us again. Currently, there are police and Master's men who are guarding around the house, so you can rest in peace in the house," said the maid again with a smile, trying to calm the Madam down, as she looked very tense.

Anne straightened up, turned to the maid who was now beside her. "Do you know who my husband wants to catch?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Erick said the names of two people vaguely, if I'm not mistaken their names were Edmund and Leo."

"Leon, not Leo." Anne confirmed the maid's words with a trembling voice.

"Well that's true, Madam. But wait, do you know the two men?" asked the maid again curiously.

"Edmund is the son of Jack's father's adoptive brother, and Leon is my ex-husband who betrayed me many years ago long before I met Jack in England," replied Anne flatly.

"Jesus!"

Anne smiled at the maid's reaction. "Then you can go now, I want to sleep. Looks like the medicine Doctor Leo gave me is starting to work."

"Yes, Madam, excuse me."

The maid immediately left Anne's room while carrying a special bowl that was previously used to clean Anne's feet. As soon as the door was closed, Anne grabbed her iPad, which was on the nightstand. She tried to find out what Jack was doing, but her intentions were interrupted when she found an incoming email from Steffi again. Anne was sure the sender of the email was Steffi, remembering the symbol S at the end of the email written to her.

"Oh my God, Steffi…." Anne screamed loudly when she saw a photo from the email link she received from Steffi.
