Love Worth Fighting For

225 Late regret

Suri shook her head, refusing Areez’s request firmly. “I can’t.”

“Why? What else are you afraid of? You are now safe, you are at home. I am here to protect you from those who want to do evil to you, Suri.”

Suri shook her head again, the words Areez just said didn’t have much effect on her. It seems very clear that Suri is still so afraid of what happened at that time. Areez who doesn’t want to see Suri constantly being tormented by fear like last night, he is worried that he will not be able to continue to be by Suri’s side if Suri gets another panic attack.

“Suri,” Areez whispered softly. “You know that I’m currently building my business in this country, right?”

Siri nodded slowly.

“I certainly won’t be able to continue to be by your side like when we were in Auckland, I won’t be able to take care of you like last night when you were in fear. That’s why I ask you to share your burden a little with me, Suri” said Areez again seducing Suri to want to told him what had happened.

Suri lowered her head, trying to avoid eye contact with Areez who was staring at her without blinking.

“Suri...”

“I can’t remember that person, Areez.” Suri interrupted Areez’s words with a trembling voice. “I can’t remember his face.”

.....

Areez frowned. “What’s the point of remembering that villain’s face? You don’t have to remember it, honey.”

“Because by the time I woke up, the only person who was in that hotel room with me was him. That ugly bald man who was trying to touch me...”

“Trying to touch you?” Areez repeated Suri’s words in a voice shaking with anger.

Suri nodded slowly and returned to looking down.

Areez, who was very impatient to know what was really going on, slowly grabbed Suri’s chin and lifted it up so that Suri could look back at him. “Slow down, I know it’s not easy for you but I’m sure you will be able to remember everything.”

Suri squeezed her fingers, the image she hated the most came back. Panic slowly overtook her and Areez read it quickly. Not wanting Suri to come back like last night, Areez immediately grabbed Suri’s body and hugged her tightly.

“Ok..ok...if you really can’t tell it, I don’t force it,” Areez said relentlessly, seeing Suri’s fear made him uncomfortable.

Being in Areez’s arms managed to calm Suri, her fear slowly disappeared. Even though the image of the incident at the hotel that she really wanted to forget was still vivid in front of her eyes.

“At that time I was at the airport to Luxembourg on Christian’s orders with Asher,” said Suri quietly.

“What?”

By not lifting her face from Areez’s hard chest, Suri then told what happened to her on that fateful day. Even though she stammered, Areez could still hear Suri’s words quite well.

“Osbert?”

“Yeah, that’s the only name I remember,” said Suri quietly.

“How do you know that guy’s name? Was it that girl who came with you into my hotel room?”

Suri nodded. “Yeah, she was the one who told me that the ugly guy’s name was Osbert.”

“Was that girl also the same kidnap victim as you?” Areez asked again.

“She...”

“She wasn’t part of one of your kidnappers, was she?”

Suri swallowed her saliva. “No, she’s the one who helped me escape those criminals.”

“The one who helped you?”

Siri nodded slowly. “Yeah and it turns out she’s not Elena, she’s a different person from Elena.”

“Elena? Elena Wilson, Christian’s private secretary?”

“Yes.” Suri fell silent again.

“How can you think that girl is Elena?”

“The eyes of the two are exactly the same and the voice is the same as the one in my memory,” answered Suri honestly. “I couldn’t see her face clearly because she was wearing a face mask.” Suri’s voice sounded hoarse when she spoke, she felt guilty for causing such a mess.

Areez, who doesn’t know what really happened, slowly tightened his arms around Suri again. “It’s ok, mistaking someone is not a problem. Everyone has experienced that too.”

“But because I’m currently all messed up,” said Suri hoarsely regretfully.

The smile on Areez’s face disappeared. “What do you mean?”

Suri wiped her tears and lifted her face up, towards Areez. “Because I thought the girl was Elena, Christian and Daddy got really angry. They went after Elena for revenge.”

“What?!”

New York, USA

After a long tiring journey, Robin’s jet which was calmed by Andres finally arrived in New York safely. Robin, who had missed Zwetta so much, came to pick her up at the airport with agent Vee, who also couldn’t wait to meet her coworker who had been missing for more than three years.

Because Robin had quite a lot of money, he easily recruited many people to welcome Zwetta’s return. Zwetta who was still unconscious was carefully transferred from the plane to a specially prepared car.

Robin’s smile widened when he saw his two men who had successfully carried out the mission.

“Welcome back and thank you for bringing Zee home,” Robin said sincerely to agent Bee and agent Gee who had just gotten off the plane.

The two women of different ages smiled at the same time.

“It’s our job, boss. You don’t have to talk like that,” Agent Bee said with a smile.

“What Beatrice said is true, this is our job so you don’t have to thank us like this, boss.” Agent Gee doesn’t realize agent Bee’s real name when talking, the long tiring journey makes her forget the first rule that Robin has made for them, which is not to mention real names.

Robin, who knew that the doctor in front of him was so exhausted, just smiled a little. “I can’t help but praise you, you two have done such a dangerous and risky task.”

Agent Gee thinned the lips. “We’d better go to my practice, sir. Zee needs to get further treatment, thirty minutes ago she had her eyes open for a few seconds. I have to take some action on her.”

“Ok, let’s go now then,” answered Robin quickly, as quickly as the change in his face that suddenly looked so serious.

Without being given orders twice, the two agents who had almost the same ability as Zwetta then rushed into the car that was waiting for them. Not long after, the convoy of cars slowly left the airport towards the place where Robin’s headquarters and residence were located.

Because they use roads less traveled by other vehicles, the journey becomes much faster. Some of Giana’s doctors slowly lowered Zwetta from the car to the room that Robin had prepared in advance according to the doctor’s instructions. They treated Zwetta with such care.

“Back to their respective duties,” Robin said quietly to the four men who had just helped Zwetta into the treatment room.

With a unanimous answer, the four people then left in front of Robin to continue their work of guarding the headquarters from people who did not want their arrival. Meanwhile, doctor Giana or better known as agent Gee immediately did her job, as a doctor who was experienced enough it was not difficult for her to handle Zwetta who had just had a caesarean section.

From behind the glass, Robin just silently watched his best doctor at work. Not a word came out of Robin’s lips when he could see Zwetta again. That stubborn girl was still as she was in his memories, she hadn’t changed at all. Still beautiful, just as she had imagined. In Robin’s eyes at this time, Zwetta even looks prettier, Zwetta’s age actually makes her so mature in the eyes of Robin, who only likes Zwetta from the past until now.

“Wellcome home, Zee. After this you will be fine. I promise you,” said Robin in her heart, having communicated with doctor Giana since they were still on the plane to let Robin know what the doctor was doing to Zwetta right now.

*****

Two days have passed since Elena mysteriously disappeared, but Jack and Christian’s men are still trying hard to keep up with the whereabouts of the woman who had just given birth. They are optimistic that they will be able to find her, as well as Christian who is still very sure that he will be able to meet the mother of his baby.

Just like his parents, Christian is still in the hospital to look after Luna. Her little baby still in the incubator. Her fingers are so small that it becomes an addiction to Christian, every time they move there is an indescribable feeling that wells up in Christian’s chest. Guilt, happiness, sadness all in one.

“How long will Luna be in that box, Mom?” Christian asks quietly to Anne who has just walked over to him.

Anne smiled. “Until her condition stabilizes.”

“So when will that time come? Meanwhile, there are still a lot of medical equipment on her body that tortures her,” Christian asked again. “If only I wasn’t so mean to Elena maybe at that time, Luna was still safe in her mother’s stomach. Not like now, where she has to feel so many hard tubes entering her body. Not to mention the painful injections she has to receive every day. I really can’t afford to see her like this all the time, Mom.”

“Christ...”

Thump... Thump...

Christian banged his head against the glass several times before Anne finally stopped him by placing her palm on Christian’s forehead so he stopped what he was doing.

“Regret will not improve the situation, what we can do now is do the best for Luna. Taking care of a premature baby is not easy, Christ. There are so many things to do, especially Luna’s condition is far more special than most premature babies out there. That’s why Mommy asks you not to continue to lament over events that have passed, right now all you need to think about is Luna who is already in front of you. So stop regretting what has happened, Luna’s future thoughts are still long. Your daughter needs your presence, Christ. ”
