60 The Clarke

Christian leans against the wall folding his arms across his chest as Suri gets examined, several times Christian is seen smiling a little as Suri screams in pain as the tip of the needle pierces her body.

His spoiled Suri hasn’t gone away yet!

“Ronin’s home?” Christian asks quietly.

Kainer, who had just returned from the front yard, nodded quickly. “Yes sir.”

Christian smiles. “Now you, Kainer.”

“Eh?”

“Get some rest, you need to rest as well as Ronin and the others. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

“But..”

“Don’t argue, Kainer. You need rest too, I don’t want you to fall sick. I still really need your help, Kainer,” Christian says quickly, cutting off Kainer’s words.

.....

Kainer doesn’t immediately follow Christian’s orders, he still looks hesitant to leave Christian alone. Until finally when Christian said his name again, then Kainer wanted to go back to his room which is not far from the room that is currently being used for the doctors to check Suri’s condition.

“You didn’t rest, sir?” asked Jorge politely.

“How can I rest when my sister has not finished being examined, I have to make sure that my sister is in good health, Jorge,” Christian answered quietly without taking his eyes off Suri who was being asked to open her mouth wide by one of the doctors, Jorge was the butler at Clarke’s residence since ten years ago when Noah died of illness. Noah is Jorge’s biological father, who has served the Clarke family for years.

“I can replace you if you...”

“No Jorge.” Christian immediately cut off Jorge’s words. “I want to stay here and wait for all these checks to finish, there are still many things I want to talk to my sister about.”

Jorge smiled. “Very well, then I shall prepare your favorite tea, young master.”

“Okay.”

Jorge nodded quickly, after which he rushed to the kitchen to make Christian favorite chamomile tea. Just like the late Luis whom he considered his own grandfather, Christian also loved healthy tea. In a short time, Jorge returned to the place where Christian was standing. The middle-aged man then placed a tray of teacups on the table not far from where Christian was standing.

“Please, sir.”

Christian purses his lips. “Thank you, you can rest now Jorge.”

“I will accompany you, sir. Seeing Miss Suri come home all my sleepiness and fatigue are gone,” answered Jorge quickly refusing Christian’s orders to sleep.

“It’s fine if you want to come with me, but it would be better if you enjoyed your own drink, Jorge. So we can drink together.”

Jorge smiled broadly, without speaking, Jorge then immediately returned to the kitchen to make his own drink as Christian suggested. Meanwhile, Christian himself was immediately involved in serious discussions with Doctor Pauline, the doctor who led the examination process on Suri today. The senior doctor informs Christian of the results of the examination that has just been done.

Christian looks so serious hearing the explanation of one of the best doctors who work in his family’s hospital, even though Christian is not an expert in the medical field but he understands a little bit with the explanation given by doctor Pauline. The main conclusion from the examination they just carried out was, Suri is very healthy. There was not a single sign that she had ever been mistreated, even her skin and hair were so soft. It can be seen that Suri has been getting very good treatment all this time and it is clearly inversely proportional to what Christian thought all this time.

“Are you sure, doc?”

“I’m very sure, young master, if Miss Suri had been living under pressure all this time, of course we would have found her immediately. However, until now, Miss Suri looks so healthy, there is not a single sign that she has experienced violence,” answered Doctor Pauline sincerely. “It’s just...”

“Just what?” interrupted Christian quickly.

“It’s just that I can’t confirm her psychic condition, it takes someone more skilled to carry out such an examination, young master.”

Christian nods slowly. “Ok, I see what you mean, doc. Tomorrow at sunrise I will take Suri to see a psychiatrist for a more in-depth examination.”

“But there’s one thing you need to avoid, sir,” cried Doctor Pauline quickly, forbidding Christian who was about to leave her.

Christian’s one eyebrow lifts and before Christian opens his lips to ask, doctor Pauline already approaches him and whispers a few words that instantly make Christian’s hands clench in emotion. A while ago, when the doctors arrived at Clarke’s house, Ronin told the doctors about Suri’s condition. That’s why at this time Pauline’s doctor said something so sensitive to Christian.

“Even though you are her biological brother, you still have to keep Miss Suri’ feelings, young master,” said doctor Pauline carefully.

Christian clenched his jaw. “Thanks for the input, doc. I’ll keep this in mind.”

Doctor Pauline smiled, after that she let Christian approach Suri who had just been drinking water. Christian lovingly strokes Suri’s long, slightly messy hair.

“Do I still have to do more checks, Christ?”

Christian shakes his head. “That’s enough for tonight, tomorrow morning we will go to the hospital for a thorough examination.”

“So why do I have to be checked again, Christ?”

“Is there really a reason why we should have regular checkups?” Christian asks back with a smile.

“There is not any.”

“That you already know the reason, so I don’t need to explain anymore, right?”

Suri nodded slowly, she restrained herself from speaking much to her brother at this time because there were still many people around them. Because their duties had been completed, doctor Pauline then said goodbye to Christian and Suri to continue their work at the hospital. Jorge, who was sitting near the exit, then escorted the doctor back to the front yard, leaving Christian and Suri who were hugging to unwind.

“I’m sorry I made a lot of people sad, I should...”

“Shhh.. no, don’t talk about it anymore. You don’t need to remember what has passed, the most important thing is that you’re back safe now.” Christian cuts Suri’s words quickly.

In her brother’s arms, Suri nodded quickly.

“Now you sleep, okay. It’s very late,” Christian whispers softly.

Suri lifts her face from Christian’s chest. “I’m not sleepy.”

Christian chuckles. “If you’re not sleepy then what do you want to do, hm?”

“I want to eat ice cream on the roof while waiting for morning,” answered Suri quickly with sparkling eyes, reuniting with her brother made her suddenly want to do the silly things they used to do when they were teenagers a few years ago.

“Suri,” Christian sighs doubtfully. “We’re not kids anymore, what if we fall because...”

Bug

Suri immediately hit Christian’s chest in annoyance.

“So you mean brother, I’m already so fat, right?”

Realizing that Suri was almost angry, Christian immediately put his hands on Suri’s cheeks. “That’s not it, my dear sister. What I mean is, we’re all grown up now. The ability to climb must have diminished, how about we fall off that roof, hm?”

“Aren’t there stairs to that place, huh?”

“Two years ago, I renovated that place, Suri.”

Suri’s face immediately changed. Looks so disappointed. “Why renovated?”

“The place was damaged after being hit by a broken branch from a tree that was hit by lightning, that’s why at this time the trees around this house are no longer there because they have been moved to another place which will certainly be safer,” answered Christian honestly.

“You’re not trying to fool me, are you?”

Christian chuckles. “Why would I fool you? I’m telling the truth, honey.”

“Sure, then you accompany me to go to my favorite pizza place, then,” said Suri quickly.

“It’s almost five in the morning, honey. There aren’t any pizzerias open at this hour, they’re all closed. Especially your favorite pizzeria, you know how busy it is, don’t you?”

“Shh that sucks...”

Christian smiles. “Ok..ok..now tell me, what do you want in exchange?”

Suri’s eyes immediately filled with tears when she was asked such a question, her chest felt full of longing for her parents. “Mommy, I want to meet Mommy.”

The smile on Christian’s face disappears immediately. “No Suri, it’s not time for you to meet them yet.”

“Why?”

“Because I want to meet you with Mommy and Daddy in three days on Mom’s brithday,” Christian replies softly with a smile. “Brother wants to give you as a birthday present for her, you want to work with me, don’t you?”

Suri nodded quickly. “Want..of course I want, Christ. I want.”

Christian who couldn’t hold back his emotion, hugged Suri again, just like when he had just met in Auckland before, Christian kissed Suri’s head many times gently.

“Our lives were all ruined when you disappeared, Suri. The happiness in our family disappeared, there was no laughter in our house,” Christian says hoarsely.

“I’m sorry Christ, I’m sorry. I should have acted sooner, if I had contacted you sooner, maybe this kind of thing wouldn’t have happened.”

Christian tightens his arms around Suri’s body. “No Suri, it was all my fault not your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself like that, none of this would have happened if I hadn’t forced you to come to Luxembourg alone at that time. I shouldn’t have entrusted Asher to look after you in the first place, that damn bastard can never work well.”

“Asher is our brother, Christ. He’s not an asshole.”

Christian immediately released his arms from Suri’s body, his hands immediately grabbed Suri’s shoulders tightly. “No, there is no Asher in the Clarke family tree. There is only Christian Clarke and Suri Mireya Clarke, Asher is someone else. He is not part of our family, he is an unrequited person.”

Suri tilted her head. “Don’t know how to repay, what does that mean?”

“Asher is trying to usurp my position as Jackson Clarke’s first child, for the past three years he has been trying to get rid of me and put me down in public in Geneva,” Christian replies angrily. “It’s not impossible that he is currently contemplating another evil plan now.”
