Love Worth Fighting For

131 Elena’s number one priority

While on their way back to Luxembourg, Christian and Elena get into a cold war. The two of them also sat far apart and of course the one who fell victim to the middle was definitely Kainer. Kainer who knew nothing again had to endure being the victim.

An hour ago, after Christian enjoyed his dinner with his family at home, Christian returned to the hotel to discuss the problem of the blessing that his parents had given Elena. But before he could speak, Elena had forced him to return to Luxembourg immediately. Christian, who was so tired of dealing with Elena who always asked to come home, finally relented and agreed to return to Luxembourg at that time without telling Elena the results of his conversation with his parents.

“Are you sure you don’t want us to take you, Elena?” Kainer asked Elena again when they got off the plane that had just brought them from Geneva.

Elena shook her head. “No, thanks. I’ll just take a taxi.”

“But...”

“Don’t force people who have rejected your offer, Kainer.” Christian cut off Kainer’s words curtly. “Don’t waste your energy on people who don’t need you.”

Kainer, who knew that Christian was being sarcastic with Elena, could only nod slowly and cancel his intention to seduce Elena into accepting his offer.

“Eight in the morning you should be at the office.” Christian resumes his speech. “And I don’t like having dissident employees.”

After saying that Christian then got into the car, leaving Kainer who was still standing with Elena. Christian, who is very angry with Elena, doesn’t ask why Elena asked to return to Luxembourg tonight, Christian is already too disappointed in Elena who he thinks never appreciates him.

.....

“Are you sure Elena?”

Elena smiled a little. “Yeah, it’s at the airport after all. It’ll be easy to get a taxi, Kainer.”

“Okay then, see you at the office tomorrow morning, Elena.”

“See you tomorrow.”

After getting an answer from Elena who still refused her help, Kainer finally got into the car following Christian who had entered first. As soon as Kainer finished closing the door, the metallic black Range Rover sped off in front of Elena onto the streets of Luxembourg, leaving the airport.

Once the car carrying Christian is out of sight, Elena then waves her hand to call a taxi to come closer. Elena immediately got into the taxi that approached her and immediately asked the driver to go to a clinic near her house. An hour ago Bianca sent her a message, informing him that his father’s condition had suddenly deteriorated. That’s why Elena forced Christian to go home, even though Bianca had said that her father’s condition was fine now, but Elena still couldn’t calm down before seeing her father in person.

Considering the condition of her parents who are already old, Elena always panics when she hears that one of them is in a declining condition, Elena who feels that she can’t make her parents proud is always afraid to lose them before she can make them happy.

“I just got out of the taxi, Bianca. Where have you been?” Elena asked Bianca who she had connected to on the phone.

“Elena!” From the second floor, Bianca waved at Elena who was still standing in front of the entrance to the three-story clinic. “We’re on the second floor,” she answered in a less loud voice.

Elena was immediately entered into the clinic in a hurry, Elena endured pain all over her body in order to see the condition of her father. Her face looks a little pale because her stomach hasn’t been filled with food since this afternoon Christian left her at the hotel.

“Thank you, Bianca. I don’t know what would have happened if you weren’t there,” said Elena slowly, out of breath after climbing to the second floor through the stairs carrying a bag filled with clothes that were quite heavy.

Bianca smiled. “Don’t talk like that, Elena. What I did is still nothing compared to what your parents did to my family. Tommy and I would have been hungry bums if your mom and dad didn’t let us work in your shop. ”

“Don’t talk like that, I don’t like hearing it,” said Elena quickly, trying to distract herself. Elena always didn’t like it when Bianca started to bring up the good things her parents had done. “Where is my mother? Is my mother also coming to the clinic?”

“No, Mrs Camila is home,” Bianca answered honestly. “Actually your mother forced me to come to the clinic, but because I was afraid your mother would fall ill so I forbade it and currently my husband is at home taking care and calming your mother with Clare.”

“Oh my God, thank you, Bianca. Thank you very much,” said Elena quickly, as fast as her movement that immediately hugged Bianca tightly.

Bianca patted Elena’s back gently, trying to provide moral support to Elena who looked so tense. After seeing the IV needle stabbed into her father’s hand from the doorway a moment ago, Elena felt like half of her blood was being sucked out. Elena was really so scared. Knowing that Elena had just returned from a business trip, Bianca then invited Elena to sit in a chair in front of the room where Jody Wilson was being treated.

With teary eyes Elena continued to stare at her father from a distance, her father’s wrinkled hands, whose strength had decreased considerably, looked so pitiful.

“I’m scared, Bianca,” Elena said hoarsely with teary eyes.

Bianca who had just wiped her lips from the rest of the water immediately turned to Elena. “Afraid of what?”

“Afraid of not being able to make my father and mother happy,” replied Elena quietly.

“You have been the pride of Mr and Mrs Wilson, Elena. Every day, when we worked in the kitchen your parents used to say they were so happy and proud of you that you managed to work for one of the best companies in the world. happy they see you managed to achieve your goals,” said Bianca quickly. “So don’t talk like that again, Elena.”

Elena twisted the hem of the blouse she was currently wearing with trembling hands. “But I haven’t been able to buy them a proper place to live, you also know that the house and shop where we live are not fully ours.”

“As good and beautiful as any house will be in vain when there is no happiness in the house, so don’t focus on always wanting to buy a house for your parents. What they need right now is peace and quiet, I know your intentions are good. But You have to remember, Elena. What you think is good is not necessarily good in the eyes of your parents. Mr and Mrs Wilson are pastry chefs, for them making sweets that many people like is part of their life. Therefore if you force them to stop working , then it’s tantamount to you making them lose an important part of their lives. You certainly don’t want them to lose any part of their life, do you?”

Elena’s head lowered further to hear Bianca’s words, she was a little disturbed by Bianca’s words.

“Mrs Camila has spoken to me many times about your wish to see them rest in their old age and just so you know, both your parents are so happy and proud that you have such a noble cause, Elena. But on the other hand they are still very reluctant to leave work, who has become a part of their lives, Elena,” said Bianca again. “And you can still make them happy by supporting their desire to continue to share their hobbies and talents, Elena.”

“So I have to keep my mom and dad working, huh?”

Bianca pursed her lips. “Don’t worry, my husband and I have taken over all the heavy work of your parents. The two of them only handled the decorations and served the customers who came, the rest we have handled well, Elena.”

“Okay, I won’t force them to stop working now,” Elena said hoarsely. “But you have to promise me to keep an eye on them and take good care of them, Bianca.”

“Yes, Elena. I’ll take care of them, you don’t have to worry,” Bianca replied softly.

Elena pursed her lips, the tightness that had gripped her slowly disappeared even though her eyes were still puffy after crying a while ago.

“You guys have to stay healthy, I still haven’t done anything for you two. So please get well soon dad.” Elena spoke to herself, her tears dripping down her left cheek which was still moist. “Please give me a chance to repay the two of you.”

Clarke family mansion, Luxembourg. 1.30. AM.

The half meter jar that came from Japan at a fantastic price became the target of Christian tantrums as soon as he stepped inside the house and no one dared to stop him. Both Jorge and Kainer could only be spectators with their mouths tightly shut.

“Stupid girl, Elena really doesn’t know how to be grateful,” Christian screams emotionally in front of Jorge and Kainer who are standing not far from him. “Out there, there are hundreds of thousands of women who are willing to stand in line to get my affection.... Elena has really tested my patience...Fuck!!”

Out of breath, Christian walks to his room on the second floor, leaving the living room that looks like a battlefield.

“What’s going on, Kainer? Wasn’t the young master relationship fine, huh?” Jorge asked softly to Kainer who had just let out a deep breath.

“They’re on good terms,” ??Kainer replied in frustration.

Jorge immediately turned to Kainer quickly. “Okay what?

Kainer took a deep breath, trying to get as much oxygen into her congested lungs as possible. Not long after that Kainer then told Jorge what caused Christian to be angry, Jorge even told Jorge about the blessing of Anne and Jack, and the existence of the ring on Elena’s ring finger.

Hearing this happy news, Jorge repeatedly expressed his gratitude, as someone who knows how lonely Christian has been in his big house, Jorge is happy because soon the young master will have someone who will be his place to complain after a long day at work.

“If the young master has now received the blessing of his parents, then why is the young master so angry? Don’t tell me that Miss Elena’s parents don’t give their blessing.”

“Elena’s parents both agreed, it’s just...”

“Just what, Kainer?”

“Young master is just being annoyed with Elena for forcing her way back to Luxembourg tonight,” Kainer replied quietly.

“What is the reason Miss Elena forced the young master to return to Luxembourg?” asked Jorge again.

Kainer shook her head. “I don’t know, Elena didn’t say anything to me and it looks like Elena didn’t tell the young master either. That’s why right now the young master is very angry at Elena who is considered ungrateful after getting all the preferential treatment that the young master has given them for the past two days in Geneva.”

“It seems that Miss Elena has a special reason that causes her to immediately return to Luxembourg tonight, Kainer,” Jorge said quietly. “Remember Kainer, Miss Elena is a simple girl who comes from an ordinary circle. Miss Elena is not like the previous young master’s former lovers who would be very happy to get all the luxuries that the young master gave. So I’m pretty sure something very important has happened, that made Miss Elena choose to go home instead of enjoying all the luxuries the young master has given her.”

Kainer frowned, his brain processing the words Jorge had just said. What Jorge said was true, Elena wouldn’t have been able to force his way home had it not been for such an important situation. And the only reason Elena is willing to sacrifice anything is that her parents are not young anymore.
