Ch. 1156..1160: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1156-1160
Chapter 1156
Perhaps, at least, she knew that Anthony was not the person that wanted to murder her.
The helicopter was much faster than the car. After some ten minutes, it arrived at the rooftop of the hospital. Anthony carried Anne and left the helicopter straight to the emergency department.
Anne was beaten up for over twenty minutes, but she did not have signs of bone fractures.
She knew that if she did not protect her belly back then, she would have all her rib bones snapped by now.
She felt a little pathetic when Kathryn was treating her wounds on her.
She was even experienced in being beaten up now.
Her lips curved up in a super slight manner, but Anthony still noticed it.
His dark and deep eyes looked at her as if they were trying to dig more from her.
However, there were not many emotions after that small curve on her lips.
Kathryn treated the wounds on her face, then covered them in gauze and said, ” Nothing serious. I suggest I go to the Royal Mansion when the medicine needs to be changed so that you don’t have to be admitted to the hospital.”
Then, she turned and left.
When she reached the door, she motioned to one of the bodyguards, and the bodyguard walked somewhere further from the door of the ward.
Kathryn said, “Please inform Mr. Marwood when you can that the scars on Mrs. Marwood’s face will be permanent. The wounds are too deep.”
The bodyguard was stunned, then nodded.
Kathryn could not help but sigh.
After the wounds formed scabs, perhaps she could go for surgery. Kathryn was not even sure if she could return to how she looked.
Anne was really unfortunate. Kathryn was always caught off guard by her cases whenever she visited the hospital.
Would Anthony keep a woman with a scarred face next to him?
After Kathryn left, Anne lay in bed and looked at the bright window, emotionless.
In fact, the sky was starting to turn dark.
She looked at the clock. It only took a while for Anthony to find her.
She could have died under Lilian’s gunpoint any later.
“Where are the kids?” Anne asked.
“They’re fine. They’re at the Royal Mansion. Do you wish to go home?” Anthony said.
“Yes, Dr. Brown had already mentioned she could go to the Royal Mansion to help me with changing the medicine.” She touched the edges of the gauze and asked, “I can’t change them myself, can I?”
She knew that she had stitches on her face, and the anesthesia was still working,
and that was why she did not feel the pain.
She must have been heavily injured. That was why she had to be stitched.
Would she be permanently scarred?
Anthony did not give her extra time to ponder about it, nor did he answer her
question, but he carried her up and left the hospital.
“Mama!”
“Is Mama coming back?”
“Mama!”
The three kids immediately sprinted outside as soon as they heard the car. They ran down the stairs and sped to the car.
The Rolls Loyce stopped, and the three kids stood there, their big eyes looking intensely at the car, full of anticipation and nervousness.
Papa would rescue Mama and return, right?
The car door opened, and they saw Papa coming out of it. Papa’s tall figure blocked
most of the–light from inside the car, and they could not see clearly.
When he moved away, he reached down to help the person from inside.
Anne disembarked from the car.
The triplets cheered delightfully, “Mama!”
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
They hopped right onto her.
Anne fell backward slightly when they jumped forward. If Anthony had not caught her, she would have already fallen to the ground.
Chapter 1157
Even though there was no big deal, she still had some injured areas, and they were hurting.
“Mama is not feeling well. Please do not knock her over.” Anthony tried to stop them.
Charlie even wanted to climb up his mother’s thighs.
The three kids noticed the wounds on their mother’s face when they heard their father say, “What happened to Mama?”
Anne squatted down and said gently, “Nothing big, I only scratched myself. I will be fine soon.
“We will help Mama to blow it out, and the pain will fly away!” Chloe said.
“Sure,” Anne replied.
The three kids then pouted their lips and blew onto their mother’s face.
“Pain, pain, go away. No more pain!” Chloe muttered.
“Hmm, it is indeed not painful anymore,” Anne tried hard to suppress the tears in her
eyes.
She was so close to losing her life and never coming back again.
“Go back in.” Anthony carried her again and walked to the staircase.
The triplets followed closely behind.
Anne really wanted to say that even though she was injured, it did not mean that she could not walk. She could still walk with just a little bit of support.
However, she swallowed back what she wanted to say again.
She remembered how painful and tormenting it was to try to oppose what Anthony wanted. She had long given up on standing up against this dominant and aggressive
man.
At night, Anne stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and then unwrapped the bandage on her face.
She saw the scar was even worse than the one she got when she did a C–section to give birth to the triplets.
Her face was small, so the scar took up more than half her face, cutting straight
through from the corner of her mouth to near her ear. The cut was so long and so deep.
There were even eight stitches on it.
Anne was really freaked out. She looked at it quietly, stunned.
It was worse than she imagined.
If that was the case, could she still recover?
It was probably irreversible…
When the bathroom door was opened again, she did not even bother to conceal this.
Anthony had already seen it when in the hospital.
Anthony walked forward and then helped her to wrap it up in the bandage again. Don’t you open it up again. Kathryn will be here to help you to change the medicine in two days.”
“Anthony, my face is ruined,” Anne said.
She wanted to see what Anthony’s reaction would be.
She always felt that her unfortunate fate was because of her face.
Even though she had never cared if she looked pretty or not, since she was young, everyone had turned their heads to her because of her beauty.
Anthony should also be attracted to her beautiful face, she guessed.
How would a man be madly in love with an ugly face? This would only wake him up.
“Kathryn said so,” Anthony replied.
Anne could not even identify the slightest change in tone in his reply, except that it was deeper than usual and also full of gentleness that felt like a feather caressing, her face. She could not help but feel her heart wrenching.
“When your wounds are healed, I will get the best doctor to help you to recover.
“What if I could not get back to how I look?” It was almost as though Anne wanted to know his answer very badly.
She did not know what kind of answer she was expecting.
She wished Anthony not to care about her appearance, but she also feared that he did not care…
It was because he was scary when he did not care…
“I will think of a way.” Anthony’s thick and rough thumb rubbed on her smooth chin. You do not have to worry about anything. Just rest and recover. Don’t fret.”
“Don’t you… think that this scar is ugly and will turn you off?” Anne asked in a straightforward manner.
Chapter 1158
It was because she was not satisfied with Anthony’s reply.
“No.”
Anthony’s reply did not make Anne feel happy, but she did not feel unhappy either. It was as though she had lost her ability to judge right and wrong.
Anthony had already left to prepare the bath water.
The condition of her face was not suitable for a shower. The shower water would splash on her face.
She saw Anthony taking off his clothes and revealing his seductively muscular back. His muscles moved as he moved, full of energy.
“Are you… Are you going to take a bath too?” Anne asked uncertainly.
Anthony turned around. His well–defined muscular chest and abs were visually impactful, and he asked, “What is the matter?”
Anne shifted her eyesight. She had a sudden urge to remove the bandage on her face so that he could not take a bath while facing her in such a condition.
She did not expect Anthony to have this kind of request.
“…Nothing,” she replied after two seconds of hesitation.
She was sure that even if she were injured, she would still somehow get Anthony’s feathers ruffled and end up with a tragic consequence…
The bathtub was huge, like a mini pool.
Anne sat in the tub, the water rippling lightly. The water level was just right under her collarbone.
The light rays shone right through the water and refracted under the water, clinging onto her body, twisting, moving.
Anthony sat down. The water level was different from on her body. It reached the top of his abs.
It was obvious that the two had many differences in terms of the strength of their body.
Anne looked petite and tiny next to him.
“Come over.” Anthony put his hand on her waist and brought her closer to him.
Anne looked slightly uncomfortable, and her body was stiff. She did not dare to move. The trauma in her mind made her face pale.
“Relax,” Anthony said.
Anne tried to relax, but it felt as though she had never learned how to relax her whole life. It was so difficult for her.
Anthony’s hand was gliding along her tiny waist, which was covered entirely in bruises.
“I was too easy on her.” Anthony’s eyes were cold and ruthless, he was trying hard to suppress them, but he still looked terrifying.
Even if he was not talking about Anne, she was still freaked out by his ruthlessness.
She covered her hand over his, but his hand was so big that she could barely cover half of it.
“She is dead. She had her unfulfillment before she was dead. That was her punishment already,” Anne said.
“I went there too late.” Anthony’s palm covered the back of her hand and then pressed to his direction.
The distance between them was shortened, and Anne was feeling on edge, as though she was sitting on a fire.
“No…”
Anthony retrieved the towel from the side and said, “Lift your head up.”
Anne obediently lifted her head. Anthony used the towel and dipped some water, then wiped her body gently over her neck, her collarbone, and her shoulders. He was helping her to bathe.
Anne remembered that when she was a kid, the villagers used to take baths in big metal pots that could be put on fire and heated up.
She was tiny and did not know how to bathe, so she always slipped to the bottom
and choked on water.
Her aunt would always help her to bathe, and she would do the same, helping her by using a towel.
Her eyes were warm, and her tears suddenly fell onto Anthony’s chest.
Anthony’s hands paused, and his heart tightened. He placed his finger beneath her eyes. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Anne shook her head. “My mother… And my aunt was murdered by Lilian. She admitted it…”
They had been unable to find the murderer all along because they were killed because of herself.
“We found the murderer now. They could rest in peace now.” Anthony wiped her
tears away.
However, Anne knew that the murderer of her father was still very well alive.
Chapter 1159
“Lilian even said that Bianca killed my father…” Anne’s eyes were blurry, but she tried to see past that and watch Anthony’s reaction.
She wished that he could stand up for her and for her father.
Anthony’s dark eyes were stunned at first, then he asked, “You did not make this up, did you?”
Anne’s heart immediately sank.
She felt that the bath water was no longer warm but icy cold, which was why she felt it so cold right into her bones.
“You think that… I made this up?” Anne’s voice was hoarse. She lost control over her emotions. “Why would I make this up? I have been so traumatized, and will I have the heart to make this up? Lilian told me about it! You said you wanted to investigate this after you got hold of Lilian, now that she is dead, so we do not have evidence anymore. So, this can’t be solved, right?”
Anthony did not say anything.
Anne was utterly disappointed. She turned and wanted to leave.
However, the hand on her waist tightened and grabbed her tiny waist.
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t think I can take a bath with someone who does not take the same stance as me.” Anne wanted to peel his hand away.
“Don’t throw a tantrum.”
Anne could not remove his hand and burst into tears. “She killed my father. It was. her! Why can’t you believe me? Because she is Bianca, and you like her, right? If you like her so much, why did you marry me?”
“I don’t like her.” Anthony’s face sank, and he was flustered being questioned by Anne.
Anne would not listen to him.
Anthony’s actions were already disappointing her.
Her tears dropped one after another.
Anthony’s finger landed under her eyes again, not budging. “Don’t cry, Lilian is dead,
that is all.”
In Anne’s teary eyes was Anthony’s blurry face. She could never understand this cold- blooded man.
That was all? So that was what he meant by not liking her?
If he did not like her, why was he always biased?
Why did he hurt her over and over again?
Anne was carried onto the bed after the bath. She was covered under the duvet, but her eyes were still glittering with tears.
“Don’t cry anymore.” Anthony’s voice was deep.
Anne did not respond, she did not cry either, and she did not say a word. She was like a soulless doll, and her eyes were blank.
Why did she have to ask when she knew that Anthony was biased toward Bianca?
Where had her confidence come from?
Their relationship was so tight that nothing could break them up.
As for herself… She was Anthony’s wife, the mother of the kids, and the play toy that Anthony manipulated.
He was stubborn, obsessed, and possessive. All these were his invisible chains on her, strangling her so much that she felt suffocated.
Mia was alone in the servant’s room and calling Bianca. She hushed her voice, “She survived, but her face was covered in injuries, not sure how serious they are. They are covered in bandages, and I could not see clearly.”
“She is back again?” Bianca was so speechless at the fact that Anne was not dead.
Was she not kidnapped by Lilian? Lilian was a professional. How could she let the vulnerable and defenseless Anne live?
“You are right. How could she be so lucky? She was kidnapped but was rescued within hours.” Mia was disappointed too because she wanted to be Mrs. Marwood too!
No matter what, she was closer to Mr. Marwood than Bianca was!
“This only explained how powerful Anthony is. He is capable,” Bianca said.
“However, if she got her face ruined, Mr. Marwood probably would not have his eyes for her anymore,” Mia said.
“Then, you should send me her photo by then. I want to see it,” Bianca said.
Bianca hung up and went downstairs. She stood outside the door, wanting to see what was going on inside.
She did not expect Lilian to be still alive. Since Anne was alive, where was Lilian?
Bianca was now alone without help. If Lilian could help her in secret, she would have one more hand.
She did not see Lilian in a long time.
Anne did not go to the office these few days. She sat in the garden and looked at the triplets who were playing afar, sometimes zoning out.
Her attitude toward Anthony was colder now.
More accurately, she no longer had any expectations of him.
She sat on her throne of Mrs. Marwood, feeling dried up.
She heard some footsteps. It was Kathryn, holding a first aid box in her hand.
“Dr. Brown.” Anne saw her.
“I am here to change your medicine. You did not get any water in them, did you?”
“No, I did not.”‘
The triplets saw Kathryn, and they panicked a little. It was a normal reaction of kids seeing doctors.
However, they still braved themselves and got near their mother.
They pulled one of their mother’s fingers and said, “Mama, don’t fret!”
Anne was not afraid. She was just wary of scaring the kids. After all, the wounds on her face were horrifying.
“There’s no big deal. Go on and play. It will be quick,” Anne said to the kids and looked to her maid.
The maid then came by and said, “Come on, let’s not disturb the doctor here.”
The triplets looked at their mother warily.
“It is really fine. Mama will be done in a minute, don’t worry.” Anne was wearing a smile on her face as she said.
Kathryn only started after the three kids left. She took off the bandage on Anne’s face, revealing her long and deep wound.
“Hmm, you are recovering well, but it still cannot be contacted with water,” Kathryn said.
“I know.”
Mia, who was standing nearby, immediately came by when she knew that Kathryn was there to change the medicine.
However, as soon as she saw the slit on Anne’s face, she let out a cry.
She took out her phone that she had hidden earlier, and then snapped a photo of it
and sent it to Bianca.
Bianca was at the shooting scene when she saw Anne’s photo. She first opened her mouth wide in shock, then immediately laughed like a maniac.
People around her thought that she was having a spasm.
Bianca placed two fingers on the screen, and zoomed into the photo, then shifted left and right to take a good look.
It was such a long and deep cut. It was hideous!
Last time, when she had a small injury on her face, she had to run a few trips to the Aesthetic Clinic to get it fixed.
However, that was nothing compared to what Anne was having now!
If this was not considered disfigured, she did not know what would be! Which man would not get turned off by this? She was already counting the days before Anthony would abandon Anne!
She was in such a good mood today!
“It’s my treat today for afternoon tea!” Bianca said to the crew.
“Thank you, Ms. Faye!”
Kathryn was helping her to apply the medicine when Anne asked, “Did you purposely come here while Anthony was away?”
Kathryn’s hands paused for a brief moment. Then she continued applying the medicine; her silence was her confession.
“I guess there is no cure for my face?” Anne asked.
“…Only if you do a skin graft,” Kathryn knew that Anne saw this coming when she heard her asking, and she continued, “The wound is too long and too deep, but don’t you worry, a skin graft can be done well too.”
Anne knew there would always be a mark even if she did a skin graft. How would it be possible for her to go back to how she previously looked? She would already be grateful enough if she did not look terrifying.
“Next time, let’s change the medicine when Anthony is around,” Anne said.
Chapter 1160
Kathryn was stunned. She could not understand what she was trying to imply.
Was she trying to make Anthony sympathize with her more?
However, she observed that Anne’s expression looked more like she was facing it with an open heart and did not care about the consequence.
What she wanted was not sympathy but was to be given up on.
Anthony’s footsteps were heard, and the atmosphere transitioned into one that was being intruded upon and filled with energy and tension. That was a sign of being alive too.
Kathryn thought she did not achieve what she wanted, but Mrs. Marwood did.
Her scarred face was bare and reflected in Anthony’s dark eyes as though it was imprinted in his eyes.
Anthony stood there and did not say a word but quietly watched as Kathryn treated the wound, then covered it in a bandage.
“The bandage has good ventilation. It will not trap the wound. The wound is recovering well, but please continue to avoid water,” Kathryn said.
Anthony said, “Next time, please wait till I am around to change the medicine.”
Kathryn was stunned. She looked at Anne and thought the two of them were thinking alike.
Anne wanted to make Anthony abandon her, but what did Anthony want?
Kathryn bowed slightly, then packed her bag and left.
Anne did not expect Anthony to say that either. She looked slightly surprised. She then looked at the kids who were running to her. She stood up with a smile and said, ” Please slow down, don’t trip over.”
She passed–by Anthony’s side.
Anthony’s gaze fell upon her face. He turned his body and kept a close watch.
“Is Mama okay now?” Charlie asked.
“Yes.”
“Are you still feeling the pain?” Chloe asked.
“No.”
“How are you recovering?” Chris asked.
“I am recovering pretty well.”
The triplets circled their mother and protected their mother. They were reluctant to leave their mother.
Anthony was watching as he stood by. He had to suppress the flustered feeling that he felt from time to time.
Anne’s attention should be on him. This made him feel not at peace.
He thought he should be moving his plan of arranging classes for the kids ahead.
He took out his phone and made a phone call, and handed over this task to Oliver.
Anne heard his voice and turned around. She saw Anthony making the phone call, unsure of what he was saying as she could not hear him.
However, Anthony kept his eyes fixated on her.
Was it related to her?
Even though there was some distance between the two of them, the pressure from
that pair of dark eyes had never eased.
She could only withdraw her gaze.
That night, the two of them still took a bath together.
She did not do anything as she was carried by him in the tub and bathed by him.
Even though she should not be doing that, he left her with no choice, dominant and
stubborn.
After that, he even hugged her to sleep.
It was almost as though the scar on Anne’s face had no impact on Anthony at all.
Why was that the case…
Anne felt everything was so surreal.
“Can’t fall asleep? Hmm?” Anthony’s deep voice said.
Anne’s lashes trembled slightly.
She was in his arms, and Anthony could only see her head from above. They were not talking either. When there was no movement and no sounds, how did he realize
that she was not asleep?
Her breathing?
“I am pondering.” She thought Anthony, who was so smart, must be able to see it through her. There was no point in her lying about it. However, she did not want to talk much with him either.
Then, she felt her chin being pinched and lifted; then, her eyes were locked onto Anthony’s dark eyes.
Anne’s pupils constricted a little; then, it was calm as ever again.
