Love Worth Fighting For

216 Elena’s bleeding

Christian immediately closed his eyes, the words Romaria had just said pierced his chest. The promise that Elena had made to never take off the ring no matter what happened replayed in Christian’s head.

“And since I have conveyed Miss Elena’s last message to you, I would like to convey my resignation as your servant, sir,” added Romaria hoarsely.

“What?!”

Romaria smiled, her hand slowly moving to wipe the tears that rolled down her cheeks. “I have given up, I can no longer bear to witness all your cruelty, young master. I need time to calm down from all that has happened over the past few months. Seeing a young girl who is so tenderly crying almost every day makes my mentally unstable. Especially with the news on television that has surfaced over the last few weeks, I really can’t afford to continue working for you, sir.”

Even though Romaria’s words were presumptuous, Christian couldn’t do anything because all the words that came out of the middle-aged woman’s lips were true. What he had done to Elena was really too outrageous, plus the news of his close relationship with Charlotte which he did deliberately to hurt Elena even more.

“Romaria.” Anne touched Romaria’s hand with her cold hand. “Please reconsider your decision, Elena and the baby need you. Since you were the one who served her from the start while at the villa, Elena would definitely not be comfortable if she had to be served by new people after returning from the hospital.”

Romaria immediately lowered her head, the words of the great madam tickled her deepest heart.

“So are you, Bertha.” Anne continued her speech, her attention immediately focused on Bertha who had been crying beside Romaria. “Not for us, but for Elena and the baby, I beg you not to stop working.”

“I..I’m can’t madam,” said Romaria stuttering.

.....

Anne swallowed her saliva. “I know this isn’t going to be easy for you guys. I promise, once Elena and my granddaughter get home, I’ll make sure Christian won’t be able to approach or see them for...”

“Mom!!!” Christian protests loudly.

“For a while before Elena truly forgives him, I will be the guarantor.” Anne resumed her speech without heeding the loud protest that Christian had just made.

Romaria and Bertha didn’t give any answer, both fell silent in such great confusion.

“Please,” said Anne earnestly. “For the sake of Elena and the baby...”

“Give me some time to think, madam,” said Romaria quietly. “I really need some time to calm my mind, I have to heal my mind first.”

Anne nodded slowly. “Ok, then. I’ll give you two some time to calm down first.”

Romaria and Bertha nodded their heads simultaneously.

A smile appeared on Anne’s face, she looked relieved that the two maids who knew Elena so well didn’t leave. Anne is not afraid that Christian’s disgrace will spread if the two maids leave, Anne just doesn’t want Elena to have to adjust to the maid who will serve her later. As a woman who had just given birth, of course Elena needed comfort. That’s why Anne restrained Romaria and Bertha from leaving.

When things were quiet, suddenly from the direction of the changing room where the doctor Jasmine and her assistant had entered, they were seen running around. The faces of both of them looked panicked, as did the faces of several other nurses who immediately followed Doctor Jasmine’s steps to Elena’s treatment room.

“What’s the matter, doc?” asked Jack, confused.

Doctor Jasmine who was wearing her medical mask didn’t answer Jack’s question, what the doctor did was to continue walking into Elena’s treatment room.

Christian, who realized that something bad had happened, immediately turned to look at the large mirror showing Elena’s condition in the treatment room, Christian’s eyes suddenly saw a change in color from the sheets under Elena’s body. Even though the sheets were covered by Elena’s body and the blanket covering Elena’s body, Christian could see a bit of what was exposed.

Blood!

The red color contrasts so well with the white sheets and blankets, which is why Christian can see them.

“What’s the matter, Christ?” asked Anne in a panic.

Instead of answering his mother’s question, Christian suddenly ran towards the door leaving the glass area. Anne and Jack, who had not yet realized what had happened, were silent for a few moments before suddenly Romaria’s loud scream was heard calling Elena’s name. It was clear that Elena was currently having a seizure, they also saw a red color on the lower part of Elena’s body, which was covered by the blanket.

Elena is bleeding again.

When they were all focused on Elena, suddenly from the door they saw two nurses forcing Christian out. Christian who managed to enter Elena’s treatment room, immediately went crazy when he saw Elena’s condition firsthand.

“No.. let me...”

“You may come in,” a senior nurse says to Christian. “Right now Doctor Jasmine is trying to save the patient, your presence inside will be a nuisance to her.”

“I won’t bother, I promise. I just...”

“Please follow the procedure, sir. Unless you want to see the patient can’t be saved then you can come in,” said another nurse.

Christian who was about to answer again the nurse’s words immediately closed his lips tightly, the nurse’s last words bothered him so much.

“I beg you all to calm down and just pray that we can do the best,” the nurse said again as she turned her gaze to Anne and Jack who were standing behind Christian with a pale face.

Not long after, the two nurses returned to the treatment room leaving Christian whose face was so white, as if there was no blood flowing there. One of the nurses who had previously forcibly dragged Christian out suddenly closed the curtains so none of them could see what was going on inside. Even though she looked angry, Anne couldn’t do anything about it. She knew that what the nurse did was in accordance with the procedures that occurred.

Romaria and Bertha who also saw what happened to Elena immediately embraced with tears that kept falling, they both seemed to be mutually reinforcing each other.

When everyone was focusing on Elena, suddenly there was a loud baby crying. The beautiful baby who had not been crying since she was taken out of her mother’s stomach suddenly started crying hysterically, her loud voice was clearly heard by everyone standing in front of Elena’s treatment room.

“My granddaughter,” murmured Anne hoarsely.

“Finally the baby was crying, it seems that she realized that her mother was not okay,” said Bertha quietly in between sobs.

Anne immediately turned her face quickly to Bertha. “W..what do you mean, Bertha?”
