Love Worth Fighting For

211 Elena is innocent

Kainer fell to the ground with blood gushing from his left arm. Christian, who did not accept Kainer’s words, unhesitatingly released the hot lead from the gun which he quickly pulled from the waist of Nicholas who was standing nearby.

“What are you doing, Christ!” cried Anne hysterically. “You can kill him.”

“That’s my goal, Mom. Traitors seem to have to die,” Christian replies loudly, trying to keep the gun in his hand that Nicholas is about to snatch.

Anne, who never liked violence, immediately approached Kainer. Cautiously she helped Kainer to stand up, but because Kainer’s body was bigger than her Anne seemed to have a hard time so finally Asher came to help her. Asher even immediately covered Kainer’s left arm which was continuously bleeding with his hand.

“There’s a lot of blood,” said Anne worriedly. “Call a doctor, Nick.”

“Well.”

“No need!”

Nicholas and Christian spoke at the same time.

The confused Nicholas slowly turned his gaze to Jack who was just standing there watching Christian shoot Kainer.

.....

“Hurry up and do what I say, Nick,” Anne shrieked loudly. “I don’t have to repeat the order twice, do I?”

A small nod from Jack made Nicholas realize that he had to follow his mistress’ orders. “Okay, madam. I’ll call the doctor right away,” Nicholas answered quickly, as fast as he moved away from the living room to carry out his madam’s orders, ignoring Christian’s cursing.

“Mom..”

“Mommy never taught you to be an irresponsible man, Christ,” snapped Anne loudly. “Especially to injure someone who is already helpless like this.”

“He deserves it, Mom. He has spoken carelessly by accusing Suri of speaking incorrectly,” Christian says defensively.
“Even if what Kainar said isn’t true, you don’t have to hurt him like this. We can still talk about it, not all problems can be solved with violence.”

“But Anne...”

“My words also apply to you, Jack.” Anne cut off Jack’s words with a warning look. “As long as the doctor hasn’t arrived, Kainer is under my protection and anyone who wants to harm Kainer must come face to face with me. You understand!!”

Silence... There was no response from Jack and Christian, neither of them dared to refute Anne’s words.

Sensing that Jack and Christian had calmed down, Anne then ordered Asher to help her bring Kainer to the couch. Asher, who was so obedient, immediately did what his foster mother ordered.

“Careful,” said Anne quietly, seeing Kainer wincing in pain worried her. Even though Christian’s shot didn’t hit a vital area, Anne was still worried. Moreover, there was so much blood pouring from the gunshot wound on Kainer’s arm right now.

“Doctor Liam will be here in ten minutes, madam,” reported Nicholas, who had just finished calling doctor Liam, one of the Clarke family doctors.

Anne turned to Nicholas. “Ten minutes? That’s a long time, will Kainer be okay waiting that long?”

“I’m all right, madam,” Kainer replied quietly.

“Don’t talk too much, you’re hurt, Kainer,” said Anne quickly. “And don’t move so you don’t bleed more!”

“I really...”

“Kainer!” Anne gave a stern warning. “Don’t argue and do my bidding!”

Getting a deadly warning from Anne made Kainer finally choose to obey, Kainer didn’t dare to go against the orders of the madam who looked so terrible when she was angry.

All the tension in the living room slowly melted away when the doctor Anne had been waiting for finally arrived. Doctor Liam, who already knew what his job was, went straight to work without asking, assisted by an assistant, Doctor Liam tried to remove the bullet lodged in Kainer’s left arm. Because Nicholas had explained everything before, doctor Liam looked so calm. Even now, in his work toolbox he was carrying a bag of blood that matched Kainer’s blood type just in case. However, until the bullet was finally removed, Kainer did not need a blood transfusion because he was still in pretty good condition.

“In the meantime, keep your wound out of water and don’t move too much so the stitches dry quickly,” doctor Liam said quietly to Kainer as he finished dressing Kainer arm with bandages.

Kainer nodded slowly. “Okay doc, I understand.”

“I’ll give you some painkillers and antibiotics, you have to take them according to the schedule I’ve written down,” said the doctor again as he handed a small box of medicine to Kainer.

“Thanks, doc.”

“Get well soon.” Doctor Liam patted Kainer’s right shoulder with a smile before he finally left with Nicholas followed by his assistant without another word. Doctor Liam is quite self-aware that the current situation in the house is not conducive.

As soon as doctor Liam left, Anne immediately handed Kainer a glass of water. “Take the medicine, I know the stitches on your arm must hurt a lot.”

“It doesn’t hurt that much, madam,” Kainer answered honestly, having been shot before so she wasn’t so surprised by the biting feeling that was gripping his arm right now.

Anne narrowed her eyes. “Don’t lie, take the medicine quickly. Asher, please help Kainer.”



“Fine, Aunty,” Asher answered quickly, as fast as he could reach and take out the medicine that Kainer had to drink from the small box that doctor Liam had given him a moment ago.

Because Anne was constantly watching him, Kainer had to take his medicine, like it or not. With Asher’s help, Kainer finally finished taking the three medicines Liam had prescribed. Anne’s worried gaze slowly faded as she watched Kainer take his medicine, Anne looked relieved after seeing Kainer get a quick treatment.

For almost twenty minutes neither Jack nor Christian dared to speak, they were both silent and continued to stare at Kainer who was the center of their attention at the moment.

“So what do you want to show us, Kainer,” asked Anne quietly, reminding him of the purpose of Kainer’s coming to Geneva.

Kainer took a deep breath. “I managed to find evidence of Elena’s innocence, madam.”

“Elena is innocent?” Anne repeated Kainer’s words in an even tone, trying to remain calm. Anne doesn’t want to provoke Jack and Christian. “Why are you so sure that Elena is innocent?”

“Because the evidence I have is far more accurate than all the photos and videos we have so far, Madame,” Kainer replied quickly. The girl in the mask who came out of the hotel where Miss Suri was being held was a secret agent with such a high level of skill, an agent who never failed in her mission to earn her the title Killing Machine from several people who knew her. The girl also refused the request of the American government to join them.”

Anne’s eyes opened wide. “Can you justify what you said?”

Kainer nodded slowly. “Yes, madam.”

“Show us then,” Christian says loudly joining in.

Kainer turned to Christian who had just spoken. “I hope that, after seeing all the evidence I have found, you will treat Elena well, sir. Elena is innocent.”
