Love Worth Fighting For

375 Arrives in Luxembourgh

Clarke Mansion, 7.30 AM.

The sun that slowly emerged from the eastern horizon seemed shy because it didn’t want to break through the clumps of clouds that had gathered in the sky, the serene atmosphere that soothed every human being could not be felt by Christian. After sleeping fast yesterday after getting deep stitches on his forehead due to a single accident, Christian wakes up much earlier than usual. However, because of the pain in the stitches, Christian can only sit back on his bed, staring at the window of his room which is still tightly closed by a dark curtain.

His quarrel with Zwetta at Luna’s grave made Christian lose control until he finally hit a box car that was stopped on the side of the road, fortunately there were no casualties in the accident. The only victim in the incident was himself.

“Are you still mad at me right now, Zee?” Christian says hoarsely, his blue eyes brimming with tears again as he remembers how angry Zwetta was with him.

“Do I not deserve a second chance from you? Is there no love left in you for me? How much hate do you have for me, Zee? How can I get forgiveness from you? What should I do?”

Christian continues to speak, pouring out his heart with tears that continue to flow. The pain and sadness over losing Luna was still nothing with the chaotic feelings that were whacking his right now. The refusal that Zwetta gave him yesterday made a huge wound inside him, a wound much bigger than the wound previously created due to Luna’s departure for good.

“Is this the punishment you gave me, Lord? Is this the recompense for what I did to Zwetta and my daughter?”

Knock..knock...

“This is Mommy, Christ. Open the door.”

.....

Anne’s soft voice behind the door is heard quite well by Christian who is locking himself in the room.

“It’s morning, dear. Doctor Marcelo has come, he wants to examine the wound on your forehead,” said Anne again. “You should take your medicine too, honey.”

Silence....

There was no answer or movement that was heard by Anne, who now put her ear to the door, even though she knew that all the rooms in the mansion had silencers installed, but Anne still did silly things like that. Her excessive concern for Christian made her do such a stupid thing.

“Christian...

Anne’s speech was interrupted when the door to Christian’s room opened from the inside, luckily Anne straightened herself up so that the embarrassing thing she had just done was not seen by Christian who had emerged from behind the door in a very bad state. His face looked so pale with circles. The blackness under his eyes that were clearly visible was exacerbated by the presence of thin hairs that saw him getting more and more chaotic.

“My dear,” said Anne concernedly, seeing Christian’s very chaotic condition like this made her heart break. “Doctor Marcelo is downstairs waiting for you.”

” Why did the doctor come again?”

Anne pursed her lips. “Check the condition of the stitches on your head, dear.”

“I’m fine, I don’t need a doctor anymore!!

“You need a doctor,” replied Anne firmly. “Apart from that you also have to eat, don’t you realize that right now you look so messed up? Do you think with this disheveled look Zwetta would want to see you?”

Christian’s eyes wide open. “W..what do you mean, Mommy?”

Anne’s provocation worked. Bringing Zwetta’s name into her conversation caught Christian’s interest.

“Seeing you like this, Christ. She is a girl and a girl likes everything related to beauty including the appearance of the opposite sex, that’s why you have to keep your appearance in front of Zwetta,” said Anne again. “Take sympathy with your extraordinary charm..”

“Will Zwetta forgive me if I shave, Mom?” Christian asks stupidly.

“Sure, no woman can stand still when dealing with a handsome man,” replied Anne, lying slightly, Anne knew that what she was doing was wrong. but she had no other choice. The wound on Christian’s forehead must be re-examined to avoid things that are not desirable, hearing reports from Suri about the amount of blood coming out of Christian’s forehead made her very worried.

Christian was silent, he seemed to be racking his brain trying to digest the words of the mother.

“Need Mommy’s help?”

A blush immediately appeared on Christian’s cheeks. “I’m not a baby who needs help bathing, Mom!!”

Anne smiled widely. “In Mommy’s eyes you are still Mommy’s favorite child, Christ. So you don’t have to feel embarrassed, Mommy can help you clean your face and keep the wound on your forehead dry.”

Christian shakes his head. “No need, Mom. I can still take care of myself.”

“But your wound...”

“I’ll be careful.” Christian cuts back on his mother’s words. “Tell doctor Marcelo to be patient, I’ll be down in fifteen minutes.”

Anne’s eyes immediately filled with tears. “Okay, Mommy and the others will be waiting for you downstairs.”

“Okay.”

Anne touches Christian’s cheek with mixed hearts. “Mommy will always be by your side, baby. Don’t feel alone, you still have Mommy.”

Christian raises his hand, squeezing his mother’s hand that was on his face. “Thank you, Mom.”

“Mommy is waiting for you on the first floor,” said Anne again.

Christian nods slowly, seconds after that he goes back into his room and rushes to the bathroom leaving his mother still standing in front of the door to his room which is still open. Not wanting Christian’s privacy to be disturbed, Anne then grabbed the door handle of her favorite son’s room and closed it slowly before finally returning to the first floor to see Doctor Marcelo who had come after being contacted by Jack since he opened his eyes an hour ago.

As soon as he heard about Christian’s accident last night, Jack immediately made a change of guard. He overhauled all the bodyguards guarding Christian, even though he knew that the accident was Christian’s fault, but Jack persisted in his decision by dismantling the set of guards guarding Christian. Jack doesn’t want the same thing to happen to Christain again, especially now that Christian’s condition is unstable. His emotions are out of control.

“Where’s Christian, honey?” Jack, who was waiting under the stairs, immediately pointed at Anne who was going down the stairs.

Anne pursed her lips. “He just woke up and is currently taking a shower.”

“Just woke up and going to take a shower? So how’s the wound? Shouldn’t the wound not be exposed to water first, huh?” A panicked Jack reacts quickly, accidentally injuring Christian’s head four years ago makes Jack very worried right now.

“Christian isn’t a kid to be taught how to keep his wound dry in the shower, Jack,” replied Anne softly.

“Yes but...”

“Don’t show your concern to him too much, don’t make Christian feel uncomfortable. Remember what the doctor said, what Christian needs right now is our support as a family,” said Anne again while squeezing Jack’s hand gently.

Jack took a deep breath, trying to control his fear.

“Christian will be fine, trust me,” added Anne with a smile. “Let’s go see Doctor Marcelo.”

Despite his slight objections, Jack finally decided to follow his wife’s steps to the living room where Doctor Marcelo was accompanied by Suri and Asher. As soon as Jack and Anne reached the living room, Charlotte and Johan who had just come down from the room appeared from where they were standing and overheard the conversation of the husband and wife.

“You heard that, didn’t you?” Johan whispered quietly to Charlotte. “This is a very good opportunity, we must be able to take advantage of Christian’s unstable condition.”

“I know, you don’t need to repeat the same sentence,” Charlotte said curtly, Charlotte was still angry at Johan who had made her battered after being forced to serve his lust all night long. Johan is a real maniac!

Johan chuckled. “Don’t forget our cooperation agreement, Chery. You certainly don’t want me to force you to make love again like last night, right?”

The panicked Charlotte immediately stomped on Johan’s feet firmly. “Watch your words, don’t talk nonsense! Remember where we are, don’t let anyone find out what we’ve done. If anyone finds out about our relationship, then be prepared to die horribly at my hands.”

After saying that Charlotte immediately stepped into the living room to join the others, although at this time her feminine area felt a little sore due to Johan’s madness last night but Charlotte still tried to look as normal as possible. She had to keep showing her innocence in front of the Clarke family members, especially to Jack and Anne.

Luxembourg Airport.

After a long tiring flight, Robin and Andres finally arrived in Luxembourg. Robin looked so excited when he descended the plane steps even though he didn’t sleep at all.

“The car that will take us to the hotel is ready, boss,” Andres said quietly.

Robin shook his head. “I want to go straight to where Christian Clarke lives.”

“We’d better go to the hotel first to store all our things, boss,” said Andres quickly. “We can’t be too flashy, in Luxembourg the Clarke surname is highly respected. That’s why we have to play it safe.”

Robin was silent, he didn’t seem to like hearing Andres’ words.

“You have to give the most perfect impression when you visit them, boss. Make Christian and his family think twice about going against you.”

Robin pursed her lips. “Ok, let’s go to the hotel first then. I think you’re right, I have to give my best when visiting the thieves.”
