I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 526 - The Last Message

Aaron and Rose's wedding day finally arrived. As Jack had decided before that they would not be able to come if the grandfather's condition was still unstable. Now that Mr. David Clarke had been fitted with a breathing apparatus and IV needle in his room, he refused to be taken to the hospital. Mr. David Clarke insisted on staying in his room, his bridal room as well as the room where his wife died decades ago. He said he wanted to end his life journey in the same room as his wife and it could not be contested, so that made Jack finally relented and let his grandfather received treatment at home.

Since morning, the team of doctors of the Clarke family led by Doctor Leo had been in Mr. David Clarke's room. They were trying their best. However, Mr. David Clarke's physical condition was actually getting weaker and this made Jack worried. He couldn't say a word when he heard Doctor Leo's words saying that his grandfather's body had rejected all the medicines they gave him.

"Jack..."

Anne's words stopped when Jack suddenly hugged her tightly. Anne, who already knew that his grandfather's condition was getting worse, tried to be the strong one and strengthen Jack. Although she was very sad right now, Anne was trying hard for Jack.

"It's okay, Grandpa can definitely get through it. Don't worry. All the best doctors are here," whispered Anne softly to Jack, who was hugging her tightly in front of the ten doctors in his grandfather's room.

Doctor Leo smiled faintly at Anne's words. As a doctor, he had done his best. He had been on standby by his master's side since the early hours of the morning until now, when lunch time was over. They all had no appetite to eat, especially Luis, who could only stand still and watched his master's condition got weaken and had lost consciousness. Luis did not cry but his face was now as white as paper.

Jack kept his eyes closed as he hugged Anne. He really couldn't bear to see his grandfather go. His chest felt very tight. Suddenly, Doctor Leo tapped Jack on the shoulder.

"What's wrong, Doc?" asked Anne quietly to Doctor Leo.

Doctor Leo glanced at Mr. David Clarke's bed. "It seems that the Master wants to speak to the two of you."

Jack instantly released his arm from Anne. "What are you talking about, Doc?"

"Jack..."

The call from Mr. David Clarke made everyone immediately turn to the owner of the voice. Although it was very soft, everyone could hear it.

Hearing his grandfather's call, Jack immediately approached. "Yes, Grandpa, I'm here."

Mr. David Clarke smiled, then he turned his eyes to Anne. Anne, who understood, immediately approached without being asked and knelt beside Jack.

"Y-you have to be happy, I'm sorry I have separated you both. I'm very happy to see you married."

"Grandpa, don't talk too much. It's better if you follow everything the doctor says, so that you can get well soon." Jack gently responded to his grandfather's words.

Mr. David Clarke closed his eyes slowly... for a second or two he still closed his eyes. When the atmosphere began to get a little tense, the old man opened his already very droopy eyes.

"Thank you for being in our family, Anne, I entrust to you the successor of this family," said Mr. David Clarke stammering in a very low and almost inaudible voice.

"Grandpa..."

Mr. David Clarke then turned to Luis. He smiled at Luis who still didn't budge. Slowly, he closed his eyes again as he drew his last breath. Mr. David Clarke had died peacefully.

"Grandpa!!!" Jack screamed hysterically when he felt his grandfather's hand that he was holding got weak.

Luis immediately looked down and fell on his knees. The tough man was crying again. He failed to keep his oath not to shed another tear for the rest of his life. In fact, when his master died peacefully in front of his eyes he couldn't hold himself back. It turned out that his frozen heart immediately melted at the moment. All the doctors in the room said nothing but lowered their faces, including Doctor Leo, who leaned against the wall and held his chest. The kind man, who was always gentle, had passed away in his care. It was a very big blow for him after serving his master for almost as long as his career as a doctor. Just like Luis who cried quietly, Doctor Leo was also crying.

Meanwhile, Anne, who did not believe that her grandfather had died, immediately sat on the floor, right behind Jack, who was already hugging his grandfather's lifeless body. Even though he had experienced many events that destroyed him many times, seeing his grandfather die was the most painful thing. Jack, who did not accept his grandfather's departure, kept calling his grandfather's name. He still did not want to be left alone. Jack's crying voice dominated the voices in Mr. David Clarke's room. The servants who had been lining up in front of the master's room immediately started crying, as soon as they heard that the master had passed away.

Even the Warrior members, who were cold-blooded assassins, seemed to have tears in their eyes. They were carried away by the atmosphere, especially when they heard the master's crying voice as he kept calling his grandfather's name. Alice couldn't help but hugged Erick tightly, while Nicholas immediately ran out and sat down on the steps. Nicholas clearly remembered how hospitable Mr. David Clarke had been the first time he came to his mansion. The sky, which was very hot, was suddenly covered by clouds, making the atmosphere in the Clarke family's mansion even more emotional.

Erick became the only person who was the strongest. After sitting Alice on the sofa, he then approaching Noah, who was still sitting crying on the steps.

"Let's take care of everything, Noah. We should announce the news of the demise of the big master," Erick said softly while touching Noah's shoulder.

Noah lifted his face and looked at Erick. "What should I do? I don't know anything about it. Luis used to take care of everything."

"Don't bother Luis. Right now Luis is very devastated. We'd better take care of everything, I'll ask Nicholas to accompany me. Meanwhile, please contact the church where the Master usually goes to worship."

Noah nodded his head. "Okay, I understand, Erick."

Erick smiled. He then looked around looking for Nicholas. At first, he wanted to scream, but the corner of his eye caught the figure of Nicholas who was sitting on the steps in front of the main door, looking down. Without thinking, Erick then approached Nicholas. He then repeated what he had previously said to Noah. At first, Nicholas looked angry but after Erick explained that what he was doing was for the good of Mr. David Clarke, Nicholas finally realized that Mr. David Clarke's body had to be taken care of immediately and that he had to immediately prepare a good ceremony to send him off. After wiping his tears, Nicholas then stood up and immediately do what Erick previously said.
