Love Worth Fighting For

372 Mental Health

Charlotte bit her lower lip hard, trying to hold back her irritation at Suri’s so real provocation. The spoiled girl forces her to let go of her grip on Christian, it’s obvious that she’s trying to get hold of Christian for herself. Damn.

Charlotte again vows to make Suri’s life hell if she succeeds in making Christian hers. Come to think of it, the spoiled Suri back then wasn’t like this. The stupid and impressionable Suri used to believe so much in Charlotte’s bullshit and false promises, but since returning from Auckland the spoiled girl’s attitude has changed drastically. The gullible Suri Mireya was gone, replaced by Suri who was so cold to her.

The tension that happened to Suri and Charlotte was finally over when the doctor called Kainer came, the doctor who worked at the Clarke family hospital immediately did his job deftly without being ordered. All the information that Kainer had given him a moment ago was enough to let the doctor know what to do.

“Are you sure my brother doesn’t need to be taken to the hospital, doc?” Suri asks again, her face tense as she sees Christian getting stitches on his forehead.

The doctor named Marcelo smiled. “No need, Miss. Once the wound is stitched up the only thing Young Master has to do is rest.”

“But he just had a pretty hard crash, doc. I’m worried if there was one...”

“I’m fine, Suri. Don’t overdo it.” Christian spoke in a hoarse voice, even though he was being treated, Christian still responded to Suri’s words.

Suri stomped her foot on the floor. “But you just had a crash, Christ. You still have to get a thorough check-up, we have to know if there was a crash or not.”

“Stop your habit of watching lilting Korean dramas, you really are too much.”

.....

“Christ...”

“What Christian said was true, honey.” Areez interrupts Suri’s words on purpose, even though his presence is not yet well-accepted in the Clarke family, Areez, who has such high self-confidence, has dared to call Suri ‘dear’. Apart from wanting to show his love for Suri, Areez wants to provoke Christian by showing off his intimacy with Suri. “He knows the best about his own body, so you don’t have to force him.”

Areez’s lure was successful, Christian’s previously tightly closed eyes opened wide.

“Don’t move young master, I’m still working with a needle and thread on your forehead.” Doctor Marcelo, who noticed the change in Christian’s mood immediately gave a stern warning to Christian. “For your good please calm down and let me work.”

Having no other choice, Christian closed his eyes again. Having been given local anesthesia, Christian doesn’t feel any pain in his forehead which is being stitched up by Doctor Marcelo, which is why he can immediately react to Areez’s words.

Areez who is happy to have managed to provoke Christian laughs amused, seeing Christian angry makes him happy.

“Don’t tease my brother, he’s hurt,” said Suri quietly.

Areez immediately covered his mouth. “Ok honey, I’m sorry.”

Suri smacks Areez in the chest, giving him a final warning not to riot and refocus on Christian.

Charlotte, who had been silent for a long time, kept herself from exploding, seeing the intimacy of Suri and Areez who incidentally was the abductor made Charlotte feel sick. If it weren’t for Christian, she might as well have splashed the odd couple.

After thirty minutes had passed, Doctor Marcelo finally finished his task. The wound on Christian’s forehead was successfully treated, the doctor had also given Christian painkillers and antibiotics beforehand so that now Christian can immediately rest. With the help of Kainer and Asher, Christian goes up to the second floor to his room leaving Charlotte, Suri, Areez and Johan who are still so upset to see Christian only suffer minor injuries. Even though he was very sure that Christian would get serious injuries considering the damage to the car he was driving.

“How is it, Areez? I’m afraid Christian will continue to hurt himself like this,” Suri said hoarsely. “Christian is a person who is so good at driving a car, it’s very unlikely that he would have an accident like that. I’m afraid that something like this will happen again.”

Areez grabbed Suri’s head and gave her a kiss on the forehead. “It’s ok, this kind of thing definitely won’t happen again. Kainer will definitely tighten his guard so something like this doesn’t happen again.”

“Actually Christian why? How could he have an accident like that?” asked Charlotte, suddenly joining in on Suri and Areez’s conversation.

Suri lifted her face from Areez’s chest and turned to Charlotte. “You don’t need to know, Charlotte. You’re not part of our family, so stop meddling!!”

Anne had used countless tissues to wipe her tears, hearing the explanation from the bodyguard who was escorting Christian made her unable to hold back tears. The same thing was also shown by Suri, although now her relationship with her brother has improved, she still feels guilty. The accident that just happened to Christian made Suri realize that her beloved brother was not feeling well mentally.

“Once again we apologize, sir, madam. We are ready to accept whatever punishment will be given.” Derek, one of the bodyguards who escorted Christian today, apologized sincerely for his negligence.

Jack shook his head. “No, this accident wasn’t your fault. It was purely an accident, so don’t blame yourself. You’ve done a great job.”

The six bodyguards who had just confessed simultaneously lowered their heads, they didn’t have the courage to raise their faces, staring at Jack who had just spoken.

“Now get back to work,” Jack said again.

Without daring to argue, Derek and his five friends immediately excused themselves from Jack’s presence. Their pace was so fast that in less than two minutes the living room felt a little empty again.

Anne’s sobs can still be heard quite clearly, as well as Suri who is currently sitting beside Areez who is trying to calm her down. Areez knows that Suri is so shaken by Christian’s accident, that’s why he decides to stay by Suri’s side. He ignored the disapproving stares from Asher and Jack, the one on Areez’s highest priority right now was Suri. The girl in his hands.

“The only way to make Christian calm down is to immediately unite his relationship with that girl named Zwetta,” Aldrich said quietly breaking the silence, Aldrich who had been silent all this time finally joined in. Hearing reports from bodyguards who saw how Christian had an accident made him feel compelled to interfere in Clarke’s family matters. “If not, then things like this could happen again in the future,” he added.

“What do you mean?!” Asher rebuked loudly, seeing Aldrich speak made Asher irritated. Asher, who still hasn’t forgiven Areez and Aldrich, clearly showed his dislike for the two men from the kangaroo continent.

Aldrich smiled. “No one will be okay after facing the huge loss that Christian has gone through. And people who experience mental shocks will usually do things that are beyond normal limits, like what Christian just did earlier. Luckily the security system of the supercar he was driving was working properly, because otherwise we might have another funeral right now.”

“Aldrich!!!” Erick, Kainer, Asher shouted in unison.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Charlotte reacted too, her face flushed red with anger.

Aldrich shrugged guiltily. “I’m speaking the facts, other than that I’m pretty good at judging someone who is going through a big shock like Christian.”

“What do you mean?” the same high tone as before.

Aldrich smiled, he turned his gaze to Areez who was already giving him a warning look. “A few years ago this best friend of mine was almost crazy just like what Christian is going through right now.”

Suri suddenly looked up. ” Areez?”

“Yes, Areez Floyen is as badly depressed as Christian is because of a woman. The difference is that in Areez’s case, he was abandoned by his bride because of greed, while Christian’s case was abandoned by the woman because the woman was kidnapped.”

A square pillow flew and landed right on Aldrich’s face, Areez who doesn’t like when his past is disturbed looks angry.

“That’s why I’m sensitive enough to deal with Christian,” added Aldrich again with a face as innocent as a baby.

Although at this time Jack was very curious about what Aldrich meant, but Jack decided not discuss it first. Christian is the highest priority that must be taken care of. “So what should we do?” asked Jack quietly.

“Accompanying him and taking care of him, people who are mentally disturbed like Christian’s right now tend to do things without a second thought. Just like he’s done before, that’s why you all must continue to stand by him and provide him with mental support.”

“I’ll do it!!” Charlotte volunteered to help Christian without shame. “I can help Christian, Christian and I are friends. since we were little. No one understands Christian better than I do.”
