Love Worth Fighting For

214 Regret

Center Hospitalier de Luxembourg, 10.00 PM

Dressed full of blood, Romaria sat in front of the operating room with Bertha who first found Elena unconscious covered in blood on the floor. Bertha and Romaria who were both so pale didn’t say much, both of them were still in shock seeing the amount of Elena’s blood that came out.

“How is it? Where is young master? Why hasn’t young master come yet?” said Bertha hoarsely. “Miss Elena must be dealt with immediately, Romaria.”

Romaria closed her eyes. “W..we’ll just wait, I already contacted Kainer.”

“But Miss Elena can’t wait, Romaria. She must be treated immediately and the young master who...”

Bertha’s words were interrupted when a doctor in green clothes appeared from inside the operating room. Suddenly, Romaria and Bertha immediately approached the doctor in a hurry.

“How is it doc? Are Miss Elena and the baby okay?”

The bespectacled female doctor shook her head slowly. “We have not taken action because we are waiting for the patient’s family.”

Bertha immediately gripped Romaria’s hand tightly.

.....

“Right now our young master has not arrived at the hospital, doc,” answered Romaria hoarsely.

“If he still hasn’t come, we are forced to follow what the patient wants,” said the doctor again seriously.

“Following what the patient wants?” Romaria and Bertha spoke at the same time.

“The patient asked us to save the baby,” the doctor answered seriously. “And that’s the only decision we have to make quickly at this point.”

Romaria and Bertha immediately covered their mouths at the same time, as well as a bodyguard who accompanied Elena to the hospital. The three people were so shocked to hear what the doctor said.

“And we will immediately take action after this, I hope you can explain to the patient’s husband because we are all in a race against time to save the mother and baby,” said the doctor again before finally going back into the operating room to take action on Elena who was already unconscious.

Romaria and Bertha almost fell to the floor if only Anton, the bodyguard, didn’t immediately hold the two of them up quickly. With some difficulty the big man led Romaria and Bertha simultaneously to the chair.

“We just wish the best for Miss Elena,” Anton whispered quietly. “The more we pray, the better it will be for Miss Elena and the baby.”

Bertha nodded quickly with tears streaming down her face, she really couldn’t shake the memory of seeing Elena lying on the floor thirty minutes ago with blood already splattered.

“Miss Elena,” Romaria muttered quietly. “Did you know that this was going to happen until you messaged me to return your engagement ring to the young master? Have you really given up, Miss?” Romaria recalled her conversation with Elena this afternoon when Elena handed her two rings, Romaria really did not expect what Elena said this afternoon to be their last conversation before this unexpected event occurred.
Seeing the two middle-aged women in front of him keep looking down, Anton could only scratch his head. He was confused and didn’t know what to do at this point because he had never had this kind of experience in his life. Worried about Romaria and Bertha’s constant crying, Anton chose to leave from where they are now to find drinking water for the two women who recently often accompanied Elena for walks in the courtyard.

Romaria who was closer to Elena looked so devastated, she looked down at her clothes which were stained with Elena’s blood. Her mother’s soul was hurt to see all the bad things that Elena had experienced these months, she felt crushed by all the things that had happened to Elena. According to Romaria, a girl as good as Elena does not deserve all the injustices that have plagued her, Romaria believes that Elena is just a victim of a misunderstanding that has occurred.

“God will definitely take care of you, Miss. God definitely won’t let someone as good as yourself become a victim again, God will take care of you and your baby, Miss Elena,” said Romaria hoarsely with her eyes still staring at the door of the operating room where Elena was.

***

Meanwhile, over the skies of Luxembourg, the jet carrying Christian and Kainer was just about to land at the airport. As soon as he heard the information that Elena was bleeding after falling, Christian’s consciousness returned. With a pale face, Christian runs to his car in the front yard. Kainer, who knew what to do, immediately asked the pilot of the jet that had brought her to fly a few minutes ago to prepare to return to Luxembourg.

Even though his condition was not good, Kainer still accompanied Christian back to Luxembourg. He knew that right now Christian could not be left alone.

“Please fasten your seatbelt, young master,” Emily the stewardess asked for the second time so politely, Emily who had previously accompanied Kainer to Geneva was so scared that Christian ignored her.

Realizing that Emily was in trouble, Kainer then touched the arm of the Anglo-Italian woman to back off. Without speaking, Emily immediately walked away from Christian’s presence. Once Emily left, Kainer then touched Christian’s hand which was so cold.

“We’ll be landing soon, sir. Please use your seat belts,” Kainer said quietly.

Christian who was staring at the twinkling lights below, slowly turned to Kainer, his eyes now filled with tears that were ready to roll down his cheeks.

“We will be landing soon, please fasten your seat belts.” Kainer repeated his words politely, not showing the slightest grudge against Kainer for what Christian had done to him.

Christian lowers his head. So slow.



“The plane will...”

“Will Elena forgive me, Kainer?” Christian asks softly in a trembling voice, from where he is currently sitting Kainer can see Christian’s tears starting to fall.

“Elena is a good woman, sir. She must be...”

Christian lifts his head, staring at Kainer with a look of great regret. “But I’ve been too mean to her, I’ve been too mean to Elena. What I’ve done is unforgivable, Kainer.”

Kainer swallowed her saliva.

“Elena must be very angry and hate me, Kainer. She won’t be able to forgive me, I’m pretty sure,” Christian adds again in a quivering voice.

Using his uninjured right hand, Kainer grabs Christian’s seatbelt and says, “My hand hurts, sir. Please buckle up, the plane is about to land. Don’t you want to hurry up and meet Elena?”

Hearing Elena’s name being called, Christian immediately buckled his seatbelt. Being in too much of a hurry, Kainer had to grab hold of one end of the seat belt so Christian could fit it properly.

Emily, who was still standing near Kainer and Christian immediately approached Kainer as soon as Kainer managed to help Christian put on the seat belt. Because Kaiser’s arm was injured, Emily immediately helped Kainer fasten his seat belt without being asked.

“Thank you, Emily,” Kainer said politely.

Emily nodded her head. “You’re welcome, excuse me”

Kainer smiled, she gave permission for Emily to return to her seat as the plane had already started descending altitude. Even though the pilot carrying the jet was very reliable, the plane still experienced a bit of shock when landing, that’s why everyone on the plane was asked to wear their seat belts.

Christian’s tension is more visible as soon as the plane lands properly, his whole body feels weak as if it has no bones.

Kainer, who could read Christian’s condition that was not so good, then asked the bodyguards to help the man to get off the plane and Kainer’s decision was right because otherwise Christian would have fallen while descending the plane stairs. From behind Kainer could only shake his head slowly at the young master’s condition.

“We’re going straight to the Center Hospitalier de Luxembourg,” Kainer said quietly to Kevin, who was their current driver.

From the driver’s seat Kevin nodded slowly. “Well.”

“Please use high speed.” Christian chimed in at Kevin’s words.

Kevin immediately glanced in the rearview mirror, trying to look at Kainer who immediately gave him a code in the form of a small nod.

Without speaking, Kevin immediately stepped on the gas pedal of his car and immediately took the black bullet-proof SUV to the Center Hospitalier de Luxembourg across the less crowded streets of Luxembourg. Two other cars immediately followed from behind as Christian and Kainer’s car started to move.

The journey to the hospital seemed very slow for Christian, even though it only took him less than twenty minutes. However, for Christian who was so unsettled the twenty-minute journey seemed too long.

“Why is it taking so long? You’re not sick, are you?”

“Take the main road, Kevin. Just cross anyone who gets in your way!”

“Bump them if they still won’t get out of the way.”

“Sir.” Kainer interrupts Christian’s words. “We’re almost there, one more corner and we’re at the Center Hospitalier de Luxembourg.”

Christian immediately turned to Kainer quickly. “Almost there?”

Kainer nodded. “Right, we’ll be at the hospital in less than five minutes.”

Christian’s face grew paler, his lips trembled violently at Kainer’s words. He looked so panicked, even though he had been so eager to get to the hospital. And when the car actually stopped, panic hit Christian again.

“Let’s go down, sir. We’re here,” Kainer said quietly.

Like a drunk, Christian struggles to unbuckle his seatbelt, until finally Kainer returns to help him as he had done on the plane moments ago.

Kevin and several bodyguards who had lined up neatly greeted Christian with great respect as soon as the man set foot in the courtyard of the Center Hospitalier de Luxembourg. However, what Kainer and the big men had feared did not happen because it turned out that Christian could walk well when he got out of the car. His steps were even so firm as if nothing had happened.

As if gaining strength, Christian can walk well when he heads to the operating room where Elena is. However, Christian’s sturdy steps suddenly stopped when he was almost where Romaria was standing now.

“The condition of the baby was saved but the mother...”

“Elena..”
