Chapter 226
226 On the Suri’s side 168Christian is silent at his mother’s words, reminded again of Luna’s special condition that makes him unable to move his tongue. Yesterday, after things started to calm down a bit after Elena’s disappearance from her treatment room. Doctor Jasmine and doctor Kimmy signed Christian and his parents, the two doctors invited the three of them to have a serious talk in doctor Kimmy’s private room to inform Luna’s condition which was quite worrying.
“There’s something Mommy wants to talk to you about seriously, Christ,” said Anne seriously. “And this has to do with Luna.”
“Luna, what happened to Luna?”
Anne shook her head slowly. “Not here, we should talk somewhere more comfortable.”
Christian is silent, he still doesn’t want to take his eyes off Luna.
“For Luna’s sake, Christ.” Anne repeats her words again because Christian is not doing what she wants.
Christian slowly lowers his hand from the mirror and turns to his mother. “Mommy where do you want to talk?”
“In the garden,” said Anne quickly. “Daddy’s waiting for us there too. Don’t worry, Erick and Kainer will take care of Luna while we’re gone. You don’t have to worry.”
Christian, who had lost half his passion for life, nodded his head slowly in response to his mother’s words, with Christian dragging his feet taking his feet into the garden where his father was already waiting for him.
.....
Seeing Christian and Anne approaching, Jack carefully places his beer can on the table. Being in the hospital feeling so chaotic made him need something to dampen his mood and beer was one of his best escapes.
“What did Daddy want to talk about?” Christian asks quietly when the three of them are in the same place.
Jack, who had prepared himself to answer all of Christian’s questions, straightened up. “Daddy wants to take Luna to Switzerland, Christ.”
“What?!”
“Don’t get mad first, Christ. Listen to Daddy finish talking first.” Anne immediately spoke trying to calm Christian’s anger that was ignited by her husband’s words.
“We all know how Luna’s condition is, Luna needs serious intensive care for the next few months. That’s why Daddy intends to transfer Luna to one of the best pediatric hospitals in Switzerland, Daddy doesn’t doubt the ability of the medical personnel at the hospital It’s just that, if we have the best option for Luna’s recovery, why don’t we try that option?”
“What your Daddy said is true, Christ. In the new hospital, Luna will get more optimal treatment than in this hospital,” said Anne quietly in response to Jack’s words. “Mommy and Daddy want to give Luna the best care.”
“But I don’t want to be far from Luna,” Christian replies flatly. “I don’t want to be separated from her and I can’t possibly leave Luxembourg, I have a lot of work to take care of here.”
Anne takes Christian’s hand and squeezes it gently. “Mommy knows you have a lot of unfinished business, but for Luna’s sake you don’t sacrifice a little of your time, hm?”
“It’s not like that, Mom...”
“Erick and Kainer will be taking care of Clarke Enterprise for a while, they can both take your place in managing the company.” Jack spoke again. “Erick is Daddy’s confidant for decades, proven ability. So even if you leave the company for a year or two it doesn’t matter, there’s still Erick to rely on.”
Christian is silent, he looks confused. Even though Erick is his father’s confidant, he can’t trust him. For Christian the only person he can trust is Kainer, but with Kainer still injured like this it will be difficult for him to manage the company.
“Erick wouldn’t dare mess around, Son. Daddy knows him very well,” Jack said quietly, breaking Christian’s thoughts. “You can take Daddy’s word, if Erick does anything to Clarke Enterprise you can hate Daddy for the rest of your life. Daddy won’t be mad.”
Christian takes a deep breath. “Give me some time to think.”
Jack smiled. “Okay, Daddy will give you time to think about this. But remember, we are currently racing against time. Luna’s condition is so weak that it must be taken seriously by an expert.”
“I know, Dad.”
Jack pursed his lips again. He slowly got up from the chair he had been sitting in for almost an hour. Using his left hand, Jack pats Christian on the shoulder a few times saying, “Daddy will discuss this with Erick.”
“Okay.”
Jack pats Christian on the shoulder again before finally walking away from the park to immediately meet Erick, however he must immediately tell Erick this matter so that Erick can immediately prepare everything. After Erick and Nicholas had their own families, Jack never again gave sudden assignments to the two assistants. Jack always gave assignments ahead of time so the two assistants could have time to explain to his wife and children at home.
“You’re a good father, Christ,” Anne says softly to Christian when Jack has disappeared behind the wall.
Christian shakes his head slowly. “No Mom, I was a bad father. I was a bad father.”
“Christ...”
“If only I hadn’t forced Elena to take the contraceptive pill then maybe...”
Christian’s words are stopped by the grip of his mother’s hand which is again firmly entrenched on his wrist. “W..what do you mean, Christ? You gave Elena the contraceptive pill when she was pregnant?”
Christian lowers his head. “I didn’t know if Elena was pregnant at that time, Mom. I really didn’t know if Luna was already growing in Elena’s womb.”
“Oh Jesus.” Anne pulls her hand from Christian’s wrist and immediately grabs her left chest.
“I really regret my stupidity, Mom,” Christian says hoarsely, his eyes filled with tears again. “Elena must hate me so much because of that too...”
Anne, who actually couldn’t speak because of Christian’s words, took a deep breath trying to calm herself down so she wouldn’t be carried away by emotions, now she has to stay calm so as not to make Christian more depressed. Anne knew that at this time her son’s condition was very fragile.
Using her left hand, Anne grabs Christian’s body and hugs him tightly. “Don’t think anything of it, what you have to think about right now is Luna. Luna’s recovery is our top priority right now, Christ.”
“I won’t forgive myself if I lose Luna, Mom.”
“Shh....don’t talk like that, we have to believe that Luna can recover. Mommy will help you take care of Luna, honey. Don’t be afraid, you won’t be alone in facing all this. Luna.” With Anne’s trembling voice responding to Christian’s words, her chest really hurts right now.
Christian tightens his arms around his mother’s body, these two days have really been such a hard day for him. Faced with Luna’s worrisome situation, Christian can’t sleep and eat properly, not to mention that until now he still hasn’t heard about the whereabouts of Elena, the woman who gave him a baby as beautiful as Luna. The woman he had hurt inside and out so many times.
“I’m innocent, Christ. For God’s sake, I wasn’t part of that kidnapper. If I lied right now, I’m willing to accept the worst punishment from God.”
The words that Elena said at that time kept replaying in Christian’s head since he knew that Elena was not part of the kidnappers who had made Suri suffer.
“I’m sorry, Elena. I’m sorry, come back to me, Elena. Our child needs you, Elena. Luna needs her mother, I beg you to come back to me, honey. Please give me a chance to apologize to you for everything I’ve done to you over the past few months. , please give me one more chance to start all over again with you, Elena.”

Geneva, Switzerland.
After hearing Suri’s confession three hours ago, Areez turned quiet. With his face already red from consuming too much alcohol, Areez looked at Suri who had fallen asleep on her bed in a very comfortable position.
“No wonder I feel like I’ve met Elena,” Areez muttered quietly. “It turns out that the girl who came to my hotel room at that time with Suri had the same eyes as Elena.”
Areez, who doesn’t believe in the coincidence, is absolutely sure that the girl is really Elena even though Suri has said that the girl isn’t Elena.
“Arrgghh... why did things get complicated like this?” Areez banged his head against the back of the chair many times.
With his eyes closed Areez again tried to recall his meeting with Suri and the masked girl. Even though at that time the girl dressed in black didn’t say much, Areez knew that she was not an ordinary girl. Her body language is very different from the Elena Wilson she knows, even though she has only met Elena a few times, Areez knows that Elena is just an ordinary girl who does not have special abilities like the girl dressed in all black who managed to escape from his subordinates.
“If she really isn’t Elena, that means....it can’t be twins, right?” Areez spoke again with all the confusion currently filling his head. “But if she’s really Elena why did her attitude change like that? Akhhh Fuck...why am I thinking about such a confusing problem? Damn...damn...”
Areez was really so annoyed with Suri’s confession that she had become the source of problems in the relationship Christian and Elena. Areez knows that Suri has such a soft heart even though her attitude is so rude, that’s why when Suri said she was sad because she had broken Christian and Elena’s relationship, Areez saddened too. His chest hurt to see Suri talking so regretfully like a few hours ago.
With a sore head, Areez slowly got up from the sofa where he was sitting and walked closer to the bed where Suri had been lying after finishing her lunch. “Don’t worry, Suri. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. You don’t have to be afraid to face this problem alone, because there is me who will always protect you.”
