Powerful Papa With Triplet Babies By Pink Dolphin Chapter 16

Chapter 16

There was an appointment that night, and they had to work overtime. At six in the evening, Anne

was about to eat the bread she had prepared when her phone rang. She saw the caller ID and

answered, “I'm working overtime.” “And I'm bringing you a delicious meal.” Anne walked to the

reception and saw Tommy waiting for her. She walked over and said, “Didn't I say that you don't

have to send me food?” “Not even once?” Tommy saw her standing there. He grabbed her small

wrist and pulled her over. When he touched her, she jolted and had no choice but to sit on the

chair. She saw the meal prepared for one person. “Why're you so nice to me?” Anne asked. Tommy

had a gentle look as he answered, “I'll be nice to you, and all you have to do is to accept it. No

pressure. Just like how it was when you were at the Marwood Mansion. If you'd like to, you can even

call me brother.” Brother...Anne looked down. All her nightmares started when she called Anthony

“brother’. Therefore, she had no courage to call Tommy her “brother’. She should not have met

Tommy this many times... “If you don't eat now, it will get cold and my effort will be wasted.”

Tommy reached over to ruffle her hair. He took care of her like a sister. Anne fixed her hair and

complained, “I'm not a child. Why do you touch my hair.” Tommy laughed and replied, “Alright, I

won't. Eat.” Looking at Anne's adorable face, he thought that Anne, who was twenty-one, was

merely a kid to him. “Right, how's Mr. Weir?” Anne recalled. “He established the clinic and nurtured

the clinic like his child. Yet, he was forced to sell it. Most importantly, the buyer did not even show

up and bought him out with money. He must have felt horrible,” Tommy said. “Is the buyer very

powerful? Who is he?” Anne was curious. Was he as powerful as Tommy? If he were not powerful,

Tommy would have been able to help Robin, but it was apparent that he could not. Anne hoped

that there was someone to beat Anthony... “I heard he's someone from the Archduke Group, so I

can't help Robin,” Tommy said. Hearing that, Anne's only hope vanished. Her face turned even paler.

Was it Anthony? Anthony bought the clinic? Why him... Anne tightened her grip on the box. Since

she was exerting too much force, it was crumpled, and the hot soup fell onto her skin. “Argh!”

Tommy opened the bottled water by the side and took her hand to wash the burn with water.

“Don’t move.” The water ran through her hand and cooled down the burn. “It's red.” Tommy

frowned, looking at the reddish hand as he washed it. Anne saw how worried Tommy was, and she

felt bad. “I'm fine. The soup was not that hot.” Tommy looked up and said seriously, “If your hand is

broken, I will take care of you.” The nervous atmosphere was taken away by Tommy. Anne smiled.

"How so? You'll cut down your hand for me?” “You don't want my hand?” “Stop fooling around...”

Anne grinned. A dark shadow passed by the room. The tall figure exuded an air of oppression

stopped by the room. The door was half opened, and he saw the interaction between Tommy and

Anne. Anne's hand was in Tommy's hand. The figure exuded a powerful aura. Tommy sensed the

unusual atmosphere and looked over. Anne looked over as well. When she saw the chilly and dark

eyes, she retrieved her hand, and her legs went soft. She leaned onto the table that stopped her

from falling over. “Bro?” Tommy was surprised. Anthony walked into the room. His tall figure

oppressed the others. The atmosphere grew tense. When Anthony glanced at Anne, Tommy

somehow went before her to block her from him. Yet, this further frightened Anne. As if there was

something between her and Tommy... While Anthony's threat resonated in her ears... “Bro, long time

no see. I didn't expect to see you here. Why're you here?” Tommy was confused. This was a surgery

clinic. He did not think that Anthony's handsome face, which even made him feel insecure, had

anything to work on. Unless he was here for Anne... “I was passing by,” Anthony said coldly. Tommy

went up. “Bro, we haven't met for so many years. Want to get a drink?” “Okay.” Anthony did not turn

down. When he left, his eagle eyes glanced at his victim, who dared not to make a sound. After the

two men had left, Anne's body went soft, and she fell onto the chair. Her back was sweating. She

knew why Anthony showed up. The Archduke Group bought the clinic. In other words, Anthony

bought the clinic. He could show up at his clinic whenever he wanted to. Anne held her face

helplessly. Anthony bought this clinic in order to control her. Who would have thought that one

would go this far to ensure she had no freedom... Anne thought of the surgery she had. Would

Anthony find out? Probably not. Anthony would not check the files. Thinking of that, she was more

at ease. When the customer came, Anne went back to work. When the procedure ended, it was

around nine at night. Anne went into the changing room. Her phone rang when she opened the

locker and got ready to change. When she took out her phone, she halted. It was a video call. She

told Nancy not to call. Furthermore, it was not even daytime there! Anne answered, "Hello?"

“Mama? Is this Mama?” A child-like voice was heard. Anne's heart softened as if all her fatigue was

washed away. “Yes, it's me. What time is it? Why're you awake? Where are your brothers?” Anne

asked. It was her daughter, Chloe, calling. She pouted and said, “They are not up yet. I miss Mama,

so I took Nancy's phone to call you.” Anne knew it. She did not blame her but smiled. “Hmm, I miss

you, too.” After all, the kids knew nothing. “How's Mama's work?” “I just finished work. I'm about to

go home!” “You're not coming back to us?” Anne was about to say something when Nancy's voice

was heard. “Chloe, why are you on the phone?” “I'm calling Mama.” “Didn“t I say we can't call Mama

when she’s at work?” “Just...just...for a while...” Anne heard Chloe's adorable voice, and she had a

gentle smile on her face. She thought of how she would video call them when it was their daytime.

The door of the changing room moved. Anne thought it was her colleague. When she turned

around, a pair of dark eyes came into sight. She was so terrified that she turned pale. “Who're you

calling?” Anthony asked with a blank expression. “Nobody...” Anne stiffened with fear. “Give me the

phone.” Anne was going to run away while ending the call. The other hand was even quicker.

“Argh!” Anne gasped and wanted to retrieve her phone, but her neck was held against the

wardrobe. “Argh!” Anthony got hold of the phone, but the call ended. He called back and put the

phone on speaker.
