Chapter 287 - Searching For Secrets

After what happened in the garden, Anne got a fever. Being outside in cold weather conditions long enough had made Anne collapse. Luckily, Jack acted quickly. As soon as he sensed something was wrong with Anne\'s condition, who suddenly shivered, Jack immediately called his personal doctor.

"Take the medicines, eat them on time, and get enough rest. These three things will make Miss Anne recover quickly. There is nothing else to worry too much about, sir." Doctor Pierre answered Jack\'s question patiently for the second time when he was about to go home.

"She really just had a fever, didn\'t she, Doc?"

"Yes sir, but if Miss Anne doesn\'t show any progress, I\'ll come and check again," answered Doctor Pierre.

Jack took a deep breath when he heard the personal doctor\'s words. He then ordered Erick to take the doctor home, so he wouldn\'t get into a lot of trouble when he went through a lot of guards when he left the apartment. Alice, who just came out of Anne\'s room after changing Anne\'s clothes, was seen approaching Jack, who was still standing in the living room.

"I\'m done, sir," said Alice politely.

"Thanks, Alice," Jack replied curtly. "Oh yeah, how is Anne, has the fever gone down?"

"She\'s much better, sir. Miss Anne is no longer shivering. Her fever has also gone down, she is currently fast asleep. Looks like the IV infusion set by Doctor Pierre is starting to work," answered Alice slowly, explaining Anne\'s condition.

Jack took a deep breath. "Thank God then, it\'s better for you to rest too. Maybe the food I ordered will come soon."

Alice nodded her head in response to Jack\'s words. She then rushed to the pantry to make hot tea. Wiping Anne\'s body with a wet towel and replacing her clothes really used up a lot of energy. Actually, Jack wanted to help Alice to take care of Anne, but his good intentions were immediately rejected by Alice. She knew that Anne would be furious if that happened, so she forbade him to help her. As a result, for nearly thirty minutes, Alice struggled alone to take care of Anne who was unconscious. As a woman, she wanted to keep Anne\'s privacy away from the sight of a man who wasn\'t her relatives.

While Jack was sitting lost in thought, thinking about Erick\'s report, soon the door to Anne\'s new apartment opened and Erick walked in with two men carrying food. The two men went straight to the dining table, following Alice, to arrange the food, while Erick stood beside Jack.

"Are you sure that Sophia\'s real name is Selma?" Jack asked Erick quietly.

"Sure sir, Robert and Hannah Higgins changed Sophia\'s name when she was nine years old. At that time, Sophia\'s career as a pianist began," Erick answered seriously.

"Actually, changing someone\'s name is not a big thing Erick, especially for an artist, singer or anyone who wants to work in the entertainment industry. It is something that is natural, because if they feel their real name is not selling, they will change and use a new name that I think that\'s enough to be interesting. But I still ask you to investigate the reason why Robert and Hannah Higgins changed Sophia\'s name, find out if this has anything to do with Anne or not. Especially, as you said earlier that Anne saw them at the restaurant, pay attention to all the information details, no matter how small it is. I want you to get all these answers as soon as possible so I can act quickly. I know how crazy Robert and Hannah Higgins are. And in the future, maybe I will stay away from Anne for a while so the family doesn\'t know that Anne is my woman now. I don\'t want them to hurt Anne. So I want you to finish this as quickly as possible," Jack asked seriously.

"Yes sir, I will finish all this as soon as possible. Then if you\'ll excuse me, I\'ll return to the office." Erick immediately said goodbye to Jack to return to the office.

Jack nodded his head in response to Erick\'s words without opening his mouth. After saying that, Erick immediately went to the office to carry out Jack\'s orders. After Erick left, Jack then went back into Anne\'s room. He stood beside the bed looking at Anne, who was still unconscious, with a loving gaze.

"What other secret are you keeping from me, Anne?"

Knock

Knock

"Excuse me sir, the food is ready." From the door, Alice spoke politely, telling him that the food that Jack had previously ordered had been served on the table.

"You go on and eat, Alice, I\'m not hungry yet," replied Jack curtly.

Alice took a deep breath. She then stepped into Anne\'s room and gripped Jack\'s hand tightly.

"Don\'t add more to my burden, Boss, Anne hasn\'t recovered yet, so please don\'t make me even more tired," Alice said flatly as she pulled Jack out of Anne\'s room.

Jack was silent, he did not respond to his personal secretary\'s words. Seeing Anne suddenly sick made his day really messed up. Like a little child, Jack was obedient when Alice ordered him to sit down and start eating the food that was already on the table. Jack enjoyed his meal silently, while Alice, who wasn\'t really that hungry, just drank her hot tea.

"You don\'t have to go to the office today, Alice. Just take care of Anne. Later, I will ask someone to take care of all your work at the office," said Jack quietly when he finished enjoying his food.

"Are you serious?"

"Jackson Patrick Muller never lies, Alice, I want you to stay beside Anne for the next few days. Don\'t worry, I\'ll double your salary this month," replied Jack flatly.

Bang!

Alice immediately got up while pounding the table when she heard that her salary would be doubled by Jack.

"Yes, Sir, I will carry out your orders with pleasure, sir," Alice shouted loudly. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement.

After saying that, Alice then walked quickly to Anne\'s room, leaving Jack alone at the dining table. She needed a lot of money to buy her mother a new sofa and bed which were not cheap. That was why she was very excited when Jack wanted to double her salary, even though her current salary was already large, the offer of double the salary was still very tempting.

Seeing Alice went to Anne\'s room, Jack then walked over to the sofa where his laptop was. After turning on his laptop, Jack refocused on the email that Erick had sent him. It was an email containing a report about the Higgins family, who had changed the name of Sophia. Even though it was a natural thing to change someone\'s name, for some reason, Jack felt something was odd. Considering the actions of Robert and Hannah Higgins so far made Jack even more curious. He was sure that there was something big that the husband was hiding behind Sophia\'s name change.

"Anne is my woman, if you hurt her then don\'t blame me if I\'m rude to you," said Jack coldly without taking his eyes off the laptop that was showing the Higgins family photos that appeared on the internet.
