Because Anne was still being closely watched by Alice, she finally could only stay in bed, even though she had woken up, and because of the effects of the drugs she took, Anne dozed off to sleep again. According to Doctor Pierre, this is the most appropriate way, by maximizing her rest. The doctor guaranteed that Anne would soon recover from her fever.
"The Higgins used to live in Germany, sir. They moved to Switzerland shortly after Sophia debuted as a pianist. This is the address where they lived when they were in Germany, sir." Erick politely handed the important files of the Higgins family that he had managed to collect to Jack.
Jack received and read the files given by Erick, Jack seriously read sentence by sentence on the papers he was holding. Jack's eyes narrowed occasionally as he read the Higgins family tree.
"If they are this rich, then why did they leave Germany and move to Switzerland?" Jack muttered quietly. He felt that something was odd about the files he was holding at the moment.
"That's why I'm confused, sir, but if you want more details, maybe I can go to Germany to..."
"No need, I don't want you to intervene directly, Erick. I need you here, I'll just ask my best friend for help to investigate the family." Jack cut off Erick's words quickly.
"Yes sir, I understand," replied Erick briefly.
Jack returned to focus on the files in his hand, while Erick quietly stood beside Jack silently. He did not dare to disturb the concentration of the master who was serious, even though Jack had known Sophia and her parents for a long time, but he did not know anything about their family tree. Because in the past, he was betrothed to Sophia by his late father and mother, Jack was not very interested in Sophia, so he did not make any investigations about who his fiancé was at that time. Jack had entrusted everything to his mother back then, and what his mother considered to be good for him, then he would agree. Finally, Sophia betrayed him a few months before her parents died in a single accident.

When Erick and Alice were enjoying pizza at the dinner table, Jack was suddenly startled by Anne who was already standing beside him. Her hand had slipped from the IV needle. Although her face was still pale, but Anne was much better, there was no longer cold sweat flowing from her forehead.
"Anne! What ..."
"Selma, do you know Selma too?" asked Anne, quietly interrupting Jack's words.
"What do you mean, Anne?" Jack asked confusedly.
Anne didn't answer Jack's question, instead she pointed to the photo of Sophia that was on the table. "Selma, this girl's name is Selma."
"Y-you know her?!" Jack shouted in surprise.
Anne did not respond to Jack's question, she looked at Jack without blinking. "What's your relationship with him?"
"This girl, I know her by the name Sophia. She is my ex-fiancé that I told you about before, the woman who betrayed me first," Jack answered slowly.
Hearing Jack's words, Anne's heart beat very fast. Her legs suddenly felt weak and she almost fell if Jack didn't immediately grab her hand and hug her tightly.
"What's wrong with you, Anne? If you can't stand up, don't force yourself, you're still sick, Anne. Don't make me angry and..."
"Selma is the person I want to find the most. Selma and her parents have stolen my mother's song and acknowledged it as a Selma's song. My parents took me to move, because my mother rejected the proposal of the man who wanted to make my mother his wife, then we ended up living in the same city as the Higgins. Since then my mother finally worked as a maid at Selma's house, but because my mother was getting sick, finally I replaced her duties. Long story short, Selma and I became close. I often helped her with her homework and started playing the piano with her because in Selma's house, there was a beautiful piano. I played a song composed by my mother, which Selma eventually memorized, even when she auditioned, she always used that song, even though it was actually me who played the song and not…"

"Not what?" Jack asked impatiently.
"It wasn't Selma who played the piano," replied Anne curtly.
"What do you mean, Miss?" Erick, who had apparently been listening to Jack and Anne's conversation, was also curious.
Anne turned to Erick and Alice, who were standing not far from where she was standing with Jack. Anne then gave a code to Jack to help him sit on the sofa. Jack also swiftly did what Anne asked. Jack carefully guided Anne to sit properly on the sofa. Erick and Alice immediately approached where Anne and Jack were. The two of them stood by the sofa where Anne and Jack sat, until finally Jack ordered them to sit down. After taking a deep breath, Anne began to tell her story. She told them everything from the beginning, starting from the fact that she had to move from place to place with her parents to her encounter with Selma at the church. When Anne began to tell the part about how the Higgins family stole the song written by her mother, Jack looked very angry. His jaw clenched, his teeth chattered as they clashed with clearly visible muscles that scared Alice. She had never seen Jack so angry.
"Even the pain from the kick Mr. Robert gave me at that time can still be felt," said Anne quietly ending her story while touching the lower left rib as she lowered her head with a trembling voice.
With shaking hands, Jack grabbed Anne's hand which was on her thighs. "Why didn't you say all this from the start, Anne?"
Anne lifted her head, looking at Jack with teary eyes. "I didn't know that the girl who left you was the one I've been searching for the most, Jack, but yesterday I saw them. I saw them coming out of Leon's office and I followed them to the mall where they were eating and laughing together... sob, they were happy, just like years ago. Even though I haven't seen Mrs. Hannah and Mr. Robert in a long time, I can still recognize them well. I can still clearly remember the look on their faces when they kicked me out of Selma's audition, and their house, how luxurious they are, I still remember, Jack, sob… they were really evil, they were cruel… they…"
Anne couldn't finish her words because Jack hugged her tightly, so that all that could be heard was Anne's sobs and her body was shaking from crying.
"Y-you trust me right, Jack?" Anne asked in a faint voice.
"I believe in you, I believe in you, love. You take it easy. I will settle this with them. You don't have to worry, dear," replied Jack quickly reassuring Anne, his eyes fixed on Erick sharply.
Erick, who was being stared at by Jack, nodded his head slowly, as if he understood the master's order. Erick immediately left the place without speaking, which surprised Alice. Alice, who was uncomfortable sitting with Jack and Anne, finally decided to go after Erick.
"You bastard, Robert Higgins, it turns out you didn't just hurt me. It turns out that you are a person who has a big hand in Anne's wounds and trauma, you will regret what you did, Robert. I will make you cry blood for hurting Anne, Jackson Patrick Muller's woman." Jack thought quietly full of emotion. His eyes were staring intently at the white wall in front of him as he tightened his arms around Anne's body.
