Love Worth Fighting For

232 Welcome home

After two months of tears, Luna was finally allowed to go home with a note that she had to be immediately taken to the hospital if her condition deteriorated. Jack and Anne who came to pick up Luna’s return looked so enthusiastic when they heard doctor Margaret’s words, they were both so grateful that their crying period was finally over.

Although Luna’s body has not been able to keep up with the weight and size of other normal babies, Christian is grateful enough to see his daughter able to escape from the glass box that makes her unable to move freely. After making sure his mother carried Luna properly, Christian then hugged Doctor Margaret tightly.

“Thanks for the help so far, doc,” Christian says sincerely. “I really owe you a lot.”

“Don’t say things like that, Mr Clarke. I’m just doing what’s my duty as a doctor, you don’t owe me anything.”

Christian tightens his arms around the doctor who is about the same age as his mother. “I still owe you, doc. If you weren’t there I don’t know what would have happened to my daughter, thank you, doc. Thank you very much.”

Doctor Margaret smiled again at Christian’s words, unlike before, doctor Margaret now allowed Christian to vent his happiness by expressing his heart. The middle-aged doctor didn’t want to spoil the single old man’s mood.

Because all administrative matters had been completed, Jack then invited his family to go home. The three of them walked cautiously towards the main door of the hospital, accompanied by Doctor Margaret, who followed closely behind with her two assistants. Several bodyguards greeted with respect for Anne and Christian’s appearance from the hospital, Nicholas, who was so excited to pick up Luna, was the only person who could be so close to Luna who was being carried by Anne into the car.

“Careful, madam,” Nicholas said quietly.

Christian smiles. “Thanks, Nick.”

.....

“Your daughter is very beautiful, sir,” Nicholas said again. “She looks a lot like you.”

“Thank you,” Christian replies curtly.

“You are very lucky, young master.” Nicholas who was so excited again gave a sincere compliment to Luna.

Christian nods slowly. “Yeah, I’m very lucky. I’m lucky to have Luna.”

Christian and Nicholas’ conversation finally stopped when Jack came closer, Jack who had just said a few words to Margaret’s doctor finally got into the car joining Anne who had entered first.

Not long after Jack finished fastening his seatbelt, Nicholas then stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car with bulletproof glass away from the hospital to the streets of Geneva which were so clean and tidy. All the way home, Luna became the center of everyone’s attention. The laughter that came out of her tiny lips made everyone laugh too.

“Welcome home, baby,” whispered Anne softly, as Nicholas’ car pulled up in front of her house. “This is your home, baby.”

“Yes, it’s your home,” said Jack quietly in response to Anne’s words. “Granddad would do anything for you, honey.”

As if understanding what her grandparents were saying, Luna laughed. And that again made Anne and Jack laugh, they were both so happy to see Luna finally able to smile in response to their words.

Christian, who had been sitting with his lips locked in front of his mother who was holding Luna, slowly stretched his hand towards Luna’s cheek. “Thanks for sticking around this far, honey.”

“Christ...”

“I know, Dad.” Christian cuts off his father’s words with a smile. “I just wanted to say thank you to my daughter for wanting to fight with us.”

“Yeah but...”

“Jack.” Anne joined in. “What Christian said is true, we have to thank Luna for being willing to fight this far. If Luna didn’t have the spirit from the start, it would have been a different story.”

Jack, who hated hearing such things the most, lifted his face up, trying to keep his tears from spilling out. Today is a happy day for him and he doesn’t want to spoil it with tears. Immediately, Jack opened the door beside him and got out of the car, taking a breath of fresh air that made his chest that had felt tight now feel much better.

Suri, who was waiting at the door, immediately ran to her father, she deliberately didn’t come to pick her up at the hospital because she wanted to welcome Luna’s return home with Areez and Asher who took a day off from their tiring work.

“Where’s Luna?”

“Luna is still inside with Mommy, wait a moment, dear. Let your mother and brother get out of the car first, then you can see Luna,” Jack answered slowly, holding Suri who wanted to get into the car to see Luna.

Suri stomped one foot on the ground, she was annoyed that she had to wait. But she could not help doing what her father ordered because she couldn’t do anything, Suri and Jack patiently waited for Luna to be brought down from the car. Christian who got off first became a protector for his mother who was carrying Luna, using his right hand Jack held the mother’s head so as not to touch the top of the car when she was getting off the car.

Wrapped in a blanket that still felt too big for her, Luna squirmed once she got out of the car. The little baby seemed to be stretching after being in the car for almost twenty-five minutes, absolutely adorable.

Seeing her nephew in front of her eyes, Suri immediately ran towards her mother. But her intention to touch Luna again had to be delayed when suddenly Christian grabbed her body and held her from getting closer to Luna.

“Christ...”

“Let Luna enter the house first, after that you can be satisfied playing with her,” Christian said quietly by not letting go of Suri’s body which kept on struggling to be released.

“Ishh...”

“What your brother said is true, Suri. Let Mommy take Luna into the house first, sorry Luna has been in the car. She must be uncomfortable.” Jack gently rebuked Suri who was already very impatient.

Suri took a deep breath. “Okay, if that is the case.”

An exasperated Jack then grabbed Suri’s head and planted a kiss there gently. “This is just my sweet daughter.”

Anne, who couldn’t wait to take Luna to her new room, then continued her steps towards the house, when she passed Areez and Asher who were waiting on the steps. Anne just smiled a little without stopping her steps. Her intention to make Luna a more comfortable place made Anne ignore the two young men, even the greetings of the maids who were already lined up neatly in the house were not answered by Anne. Luna really became her top priority right now.

Seeing her mother was already in the house, Suri then released herself from her brother’s grip. By running, Suri followed her mother to Luna’s room which was on the second floor, Luna’s condition, which still needed extra supervision from the doctor, made Jack make a special room for Luna. Luna’s room is right next to Jack and Christian’s room, either from Christian’s room or Jack and Anne’s room they can access directly to Luna’s room without having to leave the room. Jack did that solely for Luna’s sake, he let his privacy be disturbed a little so that he could keep an eye on Luna to the fullest. And Jack’s decision to remodel his room a little was approved by Anne.

“Is the baby really healed?” Johan asked one of the servants near the door. “Why is she so small? Scary.”

“Watch your words Mr. Johan,” said Jorge suddenly. “Miss Luna was born prematurely, of course her size is not the same as most babies out there.”

Johan who did not think that Jorge heard his words immediately turned to the middle-aged man who looked angry, as a butler at the Clarke mansion in Luxembourg, of course Jorge’s position was on a higher level than ordinary servants. And Johan also chose not to look for trouble with him.

Johan smiled. “Don’t get me wrong, Jorge. I didn’t mean anything bad, I was just confused. I’ve never seen a premature baby so I was quite surprised to see it.”

“Even if you’ve never seen a premature baby before, you still have to be careful with what you say,” said Jorge coldly. “Don’t let young master and Mr. Jack hear another sentence like that from you.”

“Yes Jorge I know,” Johan replied back, his lips curled into a fake smile that looked very forced. Not a single word of apology escaped from Johan’s lips.

Seeing Christian step into the house, Jorge then hurriedly left Johan. Jorge prefers to welcome Christian rather than continue the debate with Johan. As someone who has witnessed Christian’s growth in Luxembourg, Jorge knows how upset his young master is right now. That’s why Jorge wanted to be near him to provide support.

Johan’s hands clenched into fists when he saw Jorge leave, his hatred for the Clarke family and all his loyal servants grew even more.

“So the baby is your new center of attention, huh?” Johan muttered quietly, his eyes immediately turned to Jack who was following Suri to Luna’s room. “Hmm...interesting.”
