Love Worth Fighting For

120 First day

Just like last night, Elena did not dare to approach Suri who was currently the center of everyone’s attention. After being examined twice, Suri was finally invited to go home with a note that she had to come back to the hospital if she experienced unusual symptoms.

Anne and Jack listened to the doctor’s explanation seriously because they didn’t want the same thing to happen again. Suri, who had never been sick since childhood, really made Anne and Jack worried about fainting for no reason.

“Just in case, I’ll put a nurse in your house for two days, sir,” a senior doctor told Jack.

Hearing this, Jack’s smile broadened. “Thank you, doc. Thank you.”

After getting permission to go home, Jack immediately brought Suri home. Being in the hospital was the one thing he disliked the most.

“Come on.”

“Hmm?”

“Come with me to my house,” Christian says softly.

Elena stares at Christian in horror. “Come with you to your house? Me? No.”

.....

Christian chuckles. “From now on you have to get used to my family, Elena.”

“But...”

“Didn’t Mommy already ask you to call her Mommy, huh?”

Elena’s cheeks immediately flushed red, her eyes wide open. “Did you know about it?”

Christian laughs amused. “I heard and saw you guys talking this morning, honey.”

“This morning?!” Elena shrieked in surprise. “Wasn’t it when your mother came into the room you were still.... Wait, you weren’t sleeping, were you?”

Christian just laughed amused when he heard Elena’s words, the expression Elena showed really made him couldn’t help but laugh. Jack, who had just helped Suri into the car, even stood up straight and looked at Christian with great curiosity. For three years, only recently had Jack heard another laugh from Christian.

“Looks like we’re going to have a daughter-in-law soon, Jack.” Anne suddenly whispered to Jack softly.

Jack immediately turned around, facing Gina. “Daughter-in-law? That girl? Are you sure?”

“Elena is a good girl,” said Anne again.

“How do you know she’s a good girl? Erick and Nicholas haven’t given me any reports about the girl, Anne.”

Anne smiled. “The feeling of a mother is never wrong, Jack. I also spoke to her this morning while looking for Christian. You know, Elena is so cute and adorable. I guarantee you’ll love her if you get to know her, Jack.”

Jack lifts his chin and turns to the left where Christian and Elena have just gotten into the car. “It’s too early to conclude she’s a good girl, Anne.”

“Your son’s choice will not go wrong, Jack.”

“Yeah but that girl...”

“Elena is still one level above me, you have to remember that well, Jack.” Anne cut Jack’s words seriously.

“What do you mean, Anne?” asked Jack, his voice rising. “You’re much better than any woman I know.”

Anne smiled a little, Jack’s words warmed to her ears. “I wasn’t a single girl when I married you, nor did I have complete parents at the time. As for Elena, she still has parents and isn’t married either.”

“Anne ...”

“So don’t set too high standards for your son’s future wife, Jack. As long as Christian or Suri are happy, I will agree to whatever their choice is,” said Anne again, the next second Anne got into the car following Suri who was joking with Asher in Jack’s black limousine.

After a long silence, Jack finally got into the car following Anne, who had been stroking Suri’s hair that was hanging down her back. As soon as the master entered, Erick then ordered the driver to immediately drive his car. Not long after that the convoy of cars dominated by black color finally left the hospital and headed for an empty highway, while on the way home Suri laughed more because of Asher’s jokes. After talking to Christian all night, Suri promises to forget all the bad things that have happened in the past three years. Suri wants to prove to Christian that she is capable of becoming a better person.

News of Suri’s illness spread far faster than any gossip in Geneva that day, because they were too busy and focused on healing Suri, both Erick and Nicholas didn’t know that news of Suri’s fainting had spread throughout the country. Even now in the mansion, there are already lots of messages of speedy recovery flowers addressed to Suri and Jack who were so shocked when they saw that their house was filled with beautiful flowers that were neatly lined up and couldn’t speak.

“Who spread this news? Didn’t anyone know when we took Suri to the hospital, huh?” said Anne hoarsely, Anne was so surprised to see the various bouquets of flowers that filled her large yard.

“Areez Floyen,” Christian hisses hoarsely.

Jack and Anne immediately turned to Christian at the same time.

“Areez Floyen, what about Areez Floyen, Christ?” asked Jack, confused.

“Wasn’t it last night when Suri fainted, you were having dinner with him? didn’t you suspect that he was the one who spread this news to the media,” Christian replies coldly, mentioning Areez’s name makes him so curt when talking to his father.

Elena immediately gripped Christian’s arm tightly. “Don’t make accusations, Christ. We have no proof.”

“What more proof do you need, Elena? That damn playboy who keeps teasing you has already proven how an asshole he is,” Christian said curtly.

“He’s not teasing me, Christ. He’s just...”

“Defending him eh?”

Elena immediately closed her lips when she felt Christian’s change in emotion was so big, the man’s gaze had also turned cruel.

“Erick ..”

Erick immediately nodded. “Very well, sir. I will investigate this matter as soon as possible.”

Feeling that the flower problem was over, Jack then asked Anne to take Suri out of the car. Moments ago, when the car that brought them arrived home. Jack immediately got out of the car quickly when he saw Christian and Kainer standing on their hips in front of the car, feeling something odd. Jack then forbade Suri to get down because he wanted to check what was going on.

Assisted by Asher, Suri got out of the car carefully. A small scream escaped Suri’s lips when she saw the many flowers that filled her yard.

“What’s this, Daddy?” suri asked, confused.

“Flowers from Daddy’s business partners wishing you a speedy recovery,” Jack replied gently.

Suri narrowed her eyes. “From Daddy’s business partners? This much?”

“There’s more in the house too, miss,” Nicholas answered before Jack.

“What?!” Anne and Jack shrieked at the same time.

Nicholas nodded slowly, signaling his masters that he wasn’t joking. Even though he knew that Nicholas wouldn’t be able to tell a lie, Jack decided to check it out for himself. He wanted to know how many flowers his business partner had sent him. Even though Anne used to own a flower shop, Suri has allergies to several types of flowers, that’s why Jack wants to make sure that the flowers are safe for Suri. Jack doesn’t want Suri to go to the hospital again.

After five minutes had passed, Jack came out with Nicholas to Anne and Suri who were waiting for him.

“How?” asked Anne curiously.

Jack nodded slowly. “Safe.”

After knowing that the situation was safe, Anne then invited Suri into the house. Asher, who didn’t let Suri go since leaving the treatment room, helped Anne walk into the house, supporting Suri, who still looked a little pale.

“Not Areez Floyen, sir,” said Erick suddenly.

Erick’s words suddenly made everyone turn to look at him.

“Not Areez Floyen?” Christian repeats Erick’s words in disbelief.

“Yes, the person who first posted Suri’s normal state was Mrs. Edelyn. After returning from the hospital the woman immediately posted a photo of Miss Suri along with prayers for Miss Suri on her social media account.” Erick answered Christian’s question quickly while showing Christian and Jack the first post of Mrs. Edelyn Naoko while in the hospital parking area at the same time.

Jack, who was still not convinced, then grabbed Erick’s smart tablet, his blue eyes moving to read the posts and comments that the Japanese woman left on her social media account.

“But now the news has started to subside, sir,” said Erick again. “After I posted a thank you note for praying for healing for Miss Suri.”

Jack pursed his lips, looking satisfied with Erick’s work. “Good, we must immediately remove Suri’s name from all these news headlines. I don’t want to burden Suri with this problem.”

“See, it wasn’t Areez who did it, was it?” Elena whispers quietly to an irritated Christian.

“Elena,” Christian growls warningly. “Twice you pissed me off, huh.”

“Twice what? I didn’t do anything,” Elena said frantically.

Christian smirks. “And the rebellious girl must be punished.”

Elena’s cheeks immediately reddened, Elena knew where Christian was talking at the moment. Several times rejecting Christian outright made Elena instantly scared.

Can’t wait to punish Elena who openly defends the person he hates the most, making Christian immediately pull Elena into the house, without saying goodbye to his father who is still in serious conversation with Erick and Nicholas. Jack and his two assistants look a little surprised at the way Christian invites Elena into the house and the only person who is used to the sight is Kainer, and now Kainer is the center of Jack’s attention who seems to have a lot of questions for him.

“Oh my God, I just escaped from the African lion, now I have to face the lion king. My fate is really unlucky,” Kainer said to himself when he saw Jack walking towards him.
