Ch. 1356..1360: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1356-1360
Chapter 1356
Why did Anthony go out at this hour?
However, she was only wondering but did not really want to get to the bottom of it. She normally did not question much of what Anthony did, and she then went upstairs with the milk.
When Kathryn received Anthony’s phone call, she was kneeling on the floor, mopping it.
She had already lost her glory as a doctor. She had an apron wrapped around her waist, her hair was a mess, and she was even bossed around by her master like a dog.
She could not get another job as a doctor in Luton, and her wages from Anthony were not even sufficient, so she sold her house and her car, and now she was renting a place outside.
She could only do labor like this to support her finances.
She had never done this before, so it was very difficult for her.
She did not know why Anthony called her and even asked her to be at the hospital immediately.
Kathryn asked for some time off from her master. The master asked her to leave right away and never to return again.
Even if that was the case, she did not dare to have any delays, took off her apron, and sped to the hospital.
After all, she knew which end was the more important one.
She went to the hospital as soon as possible, which was her old office.
There were bodyguards standing right outside of it.
She pushed open the door, and Anthony was sitting inside. He looked the same as that day when she was exposed and had her head banged.
Kathryn walked in and said, “Mr. Marwood… I will pay back your money as soon as possible. Please give me some time.”
“You look so worn out. I almost cannot recognize you.” Anthony looked at her coldly.
Kathryn could only say, “Not at all, I deserve it…”
“Please come back to work here!”
Kathryn thought she was hallucinating.
“I have been drugged, I need a blood test,” Anthony said. He saw Kathryn did not move, his cold eyes sunk slightly, and he said, “How long do you want to stand there for?”
Kathryn regained her senses. “Yes, I will go and prepare now.”
Then, she turned and left her office to retrieve the test tubes and syringes.
When she came back with the equipment, Anthony pulled up his sleeve, revealing his muscular arm. His veins were twining all around, full of power.
It was effortless to identify the veins on his arm.
After Kathryn took the blood samples, she said, “You have to wait for twenty minutes. “Then, she went out to perform the test.
Anthony did not go anywhere but sat there and waited.
After twenty minutes, the report was out.
Kathryn brought it to him and said, “Mr. Marwood, there are indeed some residual drugs in your bloodstream. The dosage was small, but it will affect your emotions. If taken in the long term, not only will you be psychiatric, it will be hard to remediate as well.”
It was strange, though. Why did someone decide to use this drug on Mr. Marwood?
Unless it was someone who was very close to him, someone in his personal life.
Anthony looked at the report in his hands coldly. His deep voice did not show a single sign of warmth, “Can you prescribe me some remedy?”
“Yes, I have already done so. They will send it over soon.” As soon as Kathryn said it, the nurse knocked on the door and delivered the medicine.
Anthony received the medicine, stood up, then looked down at Kathryn, exerting an invisible pressure. “If there is a next time, you should know your consequences.”
“No next time, promise!” Kathryn immediately promised.
Anthony left.
Kathryn finally straightened her waist again. She looked at the office that she was familiar with, her eyes slightly watery.
She was really back here and did not need to do cleaning labor anymore.
Why did Anthony change his mind? This was almost impossible.
She guessed that Anthony was so merciless to Anne. It was probably related to him being drugged. Him forgiving her ‘sin‘ of helping Anne to run away, did that mean he was agreeable to what she did?
After all, she did not intend to hurt Anne that much.
Chapter 1357
After all, they had been legally married, and Anne was willing to stay by his side. It should not have escalated into something utterly ugly.
So, it was because of the drugs.
Anthony sat in the car and was on his way back. He took the medicine with some water.
When he reached home, Anne was not in the room. He was feeling slightly flustered when he did not see her.
He sat by the bedside, buried his fingers into his dark bushy hair, and pulled it forcefully. The veins on his arms were bulging.
The remedy did not kick in fast enough.
At least now he knew that it was his problem. He could control it now.
Otherwise, he would become violent.
Anne entered and saw Anthony’s dangerous state. She was shocked that she took a step back and explained, “I was playing with the kids and accidentally fell asleep on
their bed…”
She took a shower before going there but did not expect herself to fall asleep halfway.
Anthony looked up. His bloodshot eyes looked a little scary. “Don’t you be so scared
of me. I will not do anything to you.”
Anne was confused by what he said.
What was he trying to imply? Was that a trap?
Why did he look like that if he would not do anything to her?
Anne asked gently, “Would you like to have a bath? I will get your pajamas.”
Then, she headed to the dressing room to retrieve his pajamas.
She entered the bathroom and hung them up using clothes hangers.
Before she left, the bathroom door was opened.
She knew that Anthony had entered.
Based on her past experience, Anthony would force her to bathe with him and
torment her despite being physically exhausted.
She always feared the night.
It was because that was the time that the monster always appeared.
Therefore, she stood in the same spot, frozen, afraid to have ruffled Anthony’s
feathers in any way.
Anthony looked at her unconcealable terror and asked, “Are you not taking a bath. too?”
Anne was slightly stunned and said, “I had showered. I will go out now.”
She then went out and quietly shut the door behind her.
She was still feeling a little odd.
Anthony did not force her. Why?
She did not wish for it, but she was just feeling wary, as Anthony’s ruthless side would not allow her to have a peaceful night under any circumstance.
Anne looked at the bed. Did she dislike being in the bathroom?
She sat on the bed warily, and when she heard the water stop in the bathroom, she went under the quilt and lay down.
She looked obedient and submissive, but she was trembling uncontrollably under the quilt.
Anthony walked out of the bathroom and put on the brown pajamas that Anne had prepared for him.
He walked to the bed and saw Anne, who was already in bed. His eyes were so dark
that they looked bottomless.
He lifted the quilt, and hopped in, then pulled her right into his arms.
Anne felt that her scalp was going numb and could not even bring herself to say anything to reject him.
Anne waited for Anthony’s next actions in fear.
However, Anthony was only hugging her and did not do anything.
Anne was feeling so anxious and on edge.
“Can’t sleep?” Anthony’s deep voice was heard from the top.
Anne was scared that he would propose some activities to help with the sleep, so she hastily said, “If you did not talk to me, I would have already been asleep now.”
Chapter 1358
Anthony’s dark eyes squinted as he looked at the person in his arms and felt his chest tighten.
Was that because of the drugs or was that because of his emotions?
He could not distinguish it, but he still wanted to hug her tight in his arms.
The fear that she had for him was all caused by him.
He did not intend to explain to Anne that he had been drugged.
The damage… was real.
He wondered how he would feel if he got rid of all the toxins in his body.
Other than his crazy obsession, what else was he left with?
Bianca did not know what happened within the Royal Mansion, nor did she know that Anne had returned.
She only wanted to imagine herself as Mrs. Marwood.
She drove and entered the Royal Mansion smoothly without any obstruction.
She came out of the car. She was covered in designer brands from top to toe, and no one could have competed with her.
All was well, except her smile was frozen before she could fully extend her grin.
She saw the familiar silhouette sitting on the bench, the one that she loathed and detested. She was holding her head down, looking at her phone. The sun shone on her body, as though coating her with a
layer of gentle soft glow.
She thought she was hallucinating.
She walked closer.
“Anne Vallois?” Bianca was so shocked that her voice cracked. “Why are you here?”
Anne saw her and looked indifferent. “This is my home. Why shouldn’t I be here?”
“But… But you had already run away! If you had already run away, why are you back here again? Why are you always haunting this place?” Bianca was utterly infuriated.
“Then I suggest you ask Anthony about this. Why must he drag me back to become Mrs. Marwood?”
The thing that Anne did not want was exactly what Blanca yearned for. She listened as Anne spoke, every word of hers pierced right through her heart, and her face felt as though they were slapped over and over again.
She wished that she could tear Anne into pieces right there and then!
“You ugly b*tch, why do you deserve to stay by Anthony’s side?” Bianca rushed forward aggressively. “Don’t you have a mirror at home? Didn’t you see your own face in it? Who are you trying to disgust here?”
Anne was completely indifferent to her insults. She only looked at her lightly and said, “Mia had been sent to jail. Do you know about that?”
Bianca was stunned. “Jail? Why? But why are you telling me this? It is not relevant to me.”
“Didn’t you pay her?” Anne asked.
Bianca’s heart skipped a beat. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
The account that made the transfer to Mia belonged to someone else, and she would never admit to it.
“You know it well enough whether or not I am talking nonsense. Anthony will investigate this, won’t he?” Anne said.
Bianca decided not to hide anymore and said, “Even if he found out that it was me, so what? Anthony will never hurt me, not like you, always in and out of the hospital. So pathetic.”
Anne’s lips curved slightly upward.
She heard during the day that Mia and Fiona were both sent to jail.
She wanted to ask more, but the maids all shook their heads to say they did not know more about it.
Anne was shocked. On what premises did Anthony handle Mia and Fiona?
How did he know that Mia had her hands on Anne?
For some reason, she felt this had nothing to do with it.
Otherwise, why would Bianca still be standing here?
After all, Bianca was the real mastermind behind all these!
Anne stood up and did not want to say a word more with her.
Bianca stood before her to stop her. “Why are you smiling? What are you trying to say? Who are you grimacing for?”
“Aren’t you fearless? Why are you so nervous?” Anne asked lightly.
Chapter 1359
Bianca was condescending, only she knew that she was faking it. “You should say that I am spoiled and prideful. I only disliked someone acting arrogant in front of me, that’s all!”
“Then keep your sense of superiority to yourself. It is pretty good that way.” Anne nodded.
“Did you say something to Anthony? You stirred something up, didn’t you?” Bianca was enraged.
Anne looked at her exasperated expression and was distracted by a shadow before she said anything.
The pair of hawk eyes, even if they were at a distance, could still feel the pressure it possessed.
“Answer me!” Bianca was annoyed that she was being ignored.
She would have thrown her hands at her if this was not the Royal Mansion.
“Don’t you see who that is?” Anne asked.
Bianca then only realized and looked to where Anne looked. She was so shocked that she immediately took a few steps back and almost tripped.
She thought he was far from them and should not have heard anything.
“Are you scared?” Anne’s voice rang gently in her ears.
“You didn’t tell me that Anthony was in the Royal Mansion!” Bianca did not dare to show too much emotion on her face. “Plus, why should I be scared? I am only too surprised! I am too lazy to talk to disgusting people like you!”
After that, she walked to Anthony.
She stood at the bottom of the staircase, wearing a big smile on her face. “Anthony, I am here to see you, are you done with work?”
Anthony was standing tall, like a king that could never be disrespected, and every particle in the air was so intimidating.
Bianca’s smile grew rigid and unnatural. “Anthony, why aren’t you saying anything?
You…”
“F*ck off!”
Bianca’s face fell immediately, and she was immediately embarrassed as soon as he said the F word. She then blurted out what was on her mind, “Anthony, I don’t understand. Why must you be with Anne? She does not deserve you, and her heart is not here either. You can get anyone. I am feeling so unworthwhile for you!”
Anthony’s dark eyes looked up slightly, his lips pursed. “Don’t make me repeat myself.
Bianca was unwilling to, but under pressure, she had to leave.
Before entering her car, she glanced at Anne. If her glance could kill, Anne would have been dead by a dozen throwing blades.
Bianca then left the Royal Mansion.
Anne stood in the same spot, unmoved.
She walked to Anthony subconsciously.
She walked up the staircase slowly and stood at arm’s length from Anthony. She did not know where to start about the conversation that she had exchanged with Bianca in private.
She reckoned Anthony would not be too happy to hear them.
Plus, it would sound like she was bad–mouthing Bianca.
Anthony might not buy all of it.
“We did not say anything, I guessed she was here to look for you,” Anne lied.
“Don’t you have anything to say, as she was here to find me?”
“She… Perhaps she had something…” Anne stuttered.
She was carefully choosing every word, so afraid to ruffle his feathers.
After that, she felt almost as though she could hear Anthony’s heavy breathing, and he was walking toward her.
Anne was like a cub that was in shock. She backed out subconsciously but forgot that it was the stairs behind.
She did not manage to let out a cry before she felt that someone grabbed her waist and her body pulled over.
She fell right into a muscular chest.
“Uhmm…” Anne’s forehead bumped right into the buff chest. She looked up blankly into Anthony’s bottomless eyes and felt as though the air around them was sucked out.
“Are you trying to roll your way down the staircase again?” Anthony’s voice was deep and alluring.
Anne had a flashback of her falling down the stairs.
That was the first thing that happened when she was caught by Anthony in Luton. She could not help but notice a slight change in her brain waves as the flashback hit.
Chapter 1360
She only did not know why Anthony brought up the old memories.
Most of their old memories were unpleasant ones.
“Thank you.” Anne still thanked him.
That was the best that she could say to Anthony.
“Who allowed you to say thank you?” Anthony said coldly.
“I’m sorry, that was out of habit…” Anne wanted to explain herself. When she turned to leave, she realized he let her go.
Even the hand on her waist was released.
When she regained her senses, Anthony was already back in the house.
Was he… mad at her?
Anthony entered the study, pulled out his drawer, took out the medicine, and hastily popped them into his mouth.
He did not even take a sip of water but swallowed it directly.
The pills swept past his dry esophagus, but he could not feel anything.
His face was darker than the darkest plum.
The flustered feeling appeared just now, and he almost could not control himself.
Kathryn said, “When you cannot control it, it is best to keep your distance from Mrs. Marwood.”
Anthony sat on the couch, and his breathing was heavy as he tried hard to suppress
it. He felt that this was his own emotions and had less to do with the drug.
Anne belonged to him, and no one could take her away from him.
Everything she said was an omen to her leaving again!
Anthony’s flustered feelings stayed, he grabbed the edge of the coffee table with one hand, and the heavy table was flipped over.
Noises of things shattering could be heard from inside.
The maids outside were all stunned, and one of them went to look for the butler.
The butler heard what she described, pondered, and said, “It’s okay. We will clean up after Mr. Marwood comes out.”
He knew the reason why.
Mr. Marwood was under the drug and had to be completely cured.
He did not understand why Mr. Marwood refused to let Mrs. Marwoood know about this.
At least she would understand if she knew!
Bianca was driving while calling her assistant on the phone. “I know. Another ten more minutes.”
Her assistant was reminding her about the conference about the arts and music convention.
There would be press media attending.
If it were not an event as important as this, she would have declined as she was totally not in the mood for it.
As soon as she got out of the car, the reporters surrounded her, and the event crew blocked the fans and reporters.
Bianca kept a smile on her face. She looked elegant and drop–dead gorgeous.
She walked on the red carpet into the hotel.
The hotel was decorated specifically for the event. In the middle of the room sat the table for the VIPs. People had to go around it to go up the stage.
There were already two famous music producers on the long table.
Bianca walked onto the stage, then took a bow to everyone, and was about to sit down.
However, she did not manage to sit down when she heard a commotion at the entrance, and a few police officers in their uniforms barraged in.
They walked straight up onto the stage and to Bianca.
Bianca could not digest what had happened. Was this related to her arts and musical convention?
“Ms. Bianca Faye, we have a warrant. We suspect you are related to a case of murder and need you to assist in the investigation.”
Everyone on and off the stage was shocked.
