Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 118



118 Move on

Christian really shows his affection for Suri, almost all night Christian has been by Suri’s side. Christian only leaves Suri for a while to pee and make sure Elena sleeps well, the rest he will sit back in the chair beside Suri’s bed.

Suri, who is in shock because she met Areez again, still doesn’t want to talk to anyone, including Christian. Suri just continued to cry by occasionally covering her face, her fear of Areez was still so great. That’s why Christian can’t leave Suri. Patiently Christian continues to invite Suri to joke, even though Suri doesn’t respond at all. However, Christian did not give up until finally when the day was approaching, Suri started to speak even though the words she said were a request for drinking water.

“Want more?” Christian asks softly, not sleeping all night making the bags under his eyes visible.

Suri shook her head slowly, giving a code that she didn’t want to drink anymore.

Without getting tired Christian puts the almost empty glass on the table, seeing that there is water remaining on the corner of Suri’s lips, Christian gently wipes it with a handkerchief. Christian’s care that was so gentle and tireless managed to melt the ice that was inside Suri.

“Hey..why are you crying?” Christian screams in surprise when he sees Suri in tears. “Does anyone hurt? Tell me which side hurts?”

Suri shook her head. “I..I’m fine, Christ.”

Christian almost screams with joy when he hears Suri speak, after all night trying to talk Suri without getting tired, his efforts have now paid off when his beloved sister returns to speak.

“Serious?”

.....

“Yes.”

Christian purses his lips. “Then why are you crying, baby?”

Suri bit her lower lip hard, fear overtook her. Suri is confused about where to start. There were two opposing sides fighting within her right now.

“Don’t talk if it’s still difficult, I won’t force you, honey,” Christian says back.

“I want to go home, Christ.”

Christian smiles a little. “You can go home as soon as the doctor gives you permission.”

“But I’m fine. I’m healthy,” said Suri stubbornly. “Being in the hospital makes me uncomfortable.”

“Uncomfortable or scared?” Christian teases trying to lighten the mood.

“Who is afraid? Am I a child so afraid to be in the hospital,” replied Suri curtly.

“Do you know,” Christian feels Suri’s face which looks fresh again. “There was one girl who was close to me and she was so scared of the hospital.”

Suri raised an eyebrow. “Are you talking about the girl you brought to my birthday party yesterday?”

Christian chuckles. “Yes, Elena is so afraid of hospitals. She has a lot of trauma at the hospital, but in order to accompany me to take care of you tonight she is willing to endure all her fears and spend the night in the hospital. Elena chose to fight her fear.”

Suri was silent, she knew where her brother was talking at this time.

“If Elena can do it, so can you, Suri,” Christian says softly. “I know it’s not easy, but you have to try, Suri. Luckily when you fainted, you were still in Luxembourg, so you could arrive at the hospital in a matter of hours. Imagine if you were in America or a country far from Geneva, i. must be crazy then, Suri.”

“Sorry...”

“No, you don’t need to apologize, honey,” Christian says quickly. “You’re innocent, so don’t apologize. I just want you to learn to get up and forget all the bad things that happened to you three years ago.”

Suri lowered her head and said, “How can I forget all that happened, Christ?”

Christian’s chest immediately felt tight hearing Suri’s words, he wanted to hug and comfort his sister right now. But Christian didn’t do that, he knew if he took Suri into his arms it would be difficult for Suri to get up.

“Forgive them, Suri,” Christian says softly.

Suri immediately lifted her face, staring blankly at Christian. “Forgive them?”

“Yes, forgive those who have done evil to you. That way you will easily forget all those bad memories, dear.”

Suri was silent, her mind immediately focused on Areez. During these three years Areez had been very nice to her, Areez’s fault was by locking her in the house for years. The rest, whatever she wanted, Areez always granted it without a second thought. And it’s not actually Areez who is the perpetrator of the crime that Suri hates, there is one person who must be responsible for all the suffering she has experienced during these three years.

“I know it’s not easy, but I’m sure you can do it. Suri is a strong and smart girl,” added Christian again. “Come back Suri, come back to be the Suri I know. Smart girl and always disobeys my word”

“Ahh you are annoying, I never disobey you!”

Christian who couldn’t stand seeing how adorable Suri was, immediately hugged her tightly, with a little sob Christian apologized to Suri.

“I’m sorry for the selfishness I’ve done in the past by forcing you to move to Luxembourg, Suri. If only at that time I didn’t force you, maybe something like that wouldn’t have happened,” Christian said hoarsely. “If there is someone you should blame it is me, I am the one who is most responsible for all that happened.”

Suri pursed her lips, there was a warm feeling rising in her chest hearing the apology from her brother. Suri slowly pushes Christian away as she feels her brother’s tears run down her open shoulder.

“Christian Clarke I know is the most assertive person in the world, so why is he a crybaby now, huh?” said Suri quietly teasing her brother who was wiping tears.

“Suri!!”

Suri burst out laughing, after returning to gather with her family this is the first time Suri can laugh after that and only Christian is the only person who can make it like that. The sound of Suri’s laughter that was so loose managed to make Anne wake up from her sleep, without daring to enter Suri’s treatment room, Anne heard the chat of her two children who were still teasing each other in the early morning.

“Thank God, thank you for bringing my children back into my arms again. Please keep this warmth and happiness in my family, God,” said Anne in her heart with teary eyes. Anne slowly turned towards the room occupied by Elena, even though she had not spoken to Elena but Anne felt that Elena was a good girl.

“Don’t be crazy, Areez. You can’t do that, if you come and confess to Jackson Clarke it’s tantamount to suicide!”
