Love Worth Fighting For

264 Bringing Luna back

Arriving at his room Jack not turning on the lights or air conditioning, he chose to sit quietly on the sofa which was in a place where the sun was not reaching.

Jack recalled all the events that had just happened, confession after confession that escaped Areez’s lips making him unable to think straight. Coupled with what Christian had said, Jack’s guilt towards Elena grew even greater. Even though he didn’t touch Elena directly, what he had said to Elena that day must have made a huge wound inside Elena. The memory of his arrival at the Wilson family’s house at that time replayed in Jack’s mind. Jack can still clearly remember the look on Jody and Camila Wilson’s faces at that time.

Prank...

A crystal decoration that was on the table was now falling apart on the floor after being hit by Jack’s kick.

“Fuck, why is everything so complicated now? Why is everything so interconnected like this? Why is my daughter.... Arrrghh Suri! Why are you doing this, Suri? Why?!!”

Jack gripped his head tightly, the pain that tormented his head was excruciating. If only the person who had caused the mess today wasn’t Suri, maybe Jack had done something really crazy. However, because the source of the trouble was the little princess he loved so much, Jack couldn’t do anything about it. He would not be able to do violence to his own flesh and blood Suri.

The sound of the phone ringing suddenly made Jack, who was cursing all the mess today, turn his head towards the bed, where he had thrown the phone before. At first Jack ignored the call, but because his cell phone kept ringing he finally relented. With steps dragged Jack closer to the bed to reach for his cellphone, his eyes widened when he saw his wife’s name appear on the screen of his cellphone. Too surprised by Suri and Areez’s confession, Jack forgets about Anne.

Jack is grateful that Anne did not hear everything that happened today at the office, Jack can’t imagine what will happen to Anne if Anne finds out that Suri has protected the criminal they are looking for. After taking a deep breath, Jack then called Anne back because her cell phone had stopped ringing.

“Honey...”

.....

“Jack.”

Anne and Jack’s voices collided, both of them calling each other.

Jack’s smile grew. “What is it, honey?” asked Jack softly, for making regular calls Jack didn’t see how Anne was now.

“Christian...”

Jack’s whole body stiffened.

“Christian forbade me to take care of Luna, he forbade us to come to the hospital. He wants to keep Luna away from us, Jack,” said Anne stuttering, her voice sounded so heavy.

Jack, who realized that something bad had happened, then turned the regular phone call into a video call, in less than three seconds as soon as the connection entered Anne’s cell phone, Jack could finally see Anne’s face more clearly now. Jack’s chest felt so tight when he saw Anne cry.

“Speak clearly dear and please don’t cry like that, I can’t see you crying,” he cooed softly. “Now take a deep breath and exhale slowly do it a few times to calm yourself down, I guarantee after that you will feel much better.”

Anne who always obeyed Jack then did as Jack ordered, after two minutes Anne felt much better as Jack said. The tightness that had gripped her slowly disappeared even though at this moment she was still so sad about what Christian had said to her a moment ago.

Jack smiled seeing Anne do as he was told, seeing how obedient Anne was to him made Jack feel a little better.

“Ok, now answer my question first. Where are you currently?” Jack started talking again.

“In the hospital.”

“At Luna’s place?”

“Yes.”

“Has Luna’s condition worsened again?”

Anne shook her head. “Luna is fine, that beautiful child has really shown a very significant change.”

“If Luna is fine then what made Christian forbid you to take care of Luna? Why did he forbid you to come to the hospital?”

Anne wiped her tears slowly. “Christian is furious with Suri.”

Jack’s face immediately changed, he looked so shocked when he heard Anne’s words.

“I know it all, Jack,” said Anne again, tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke. “So don’t try to hide this matter from me.”

“Honey...”

“I know that Suri protected Areez Floyen, Suri protected the criminal who kidnapped her.”

Jack’s lips opened wide, he looked so shocked. Jack, who a moment ago was grateful that Anne had not heard all their conversations at the office, now looked so shocked when he heard Anne’s words.

“H..how did you know?”

Anne smiled a little. “I was in the office when Areez confessed to everything he did.”

“What?! How could that be?!”

“I came to the office to take you to lunch, Jack. I don’t know if by that time everyone had gathered in your room and just as I was about to come in to join I heard Christian’s words begin to speak at that moment. All the words Christian said hurt my heart so much. “I really can’t imagine how hurt he was when he found out that Suri had hidden Areez,” said Anne hoarsely. “I know everything Jack, I know I heard everything you guys were talking about.”

“Honey...”

“And when Christian came out I intended to immediately follow him and as soon as I managed to find him at the hospital, I was immediately kicked out by Christian. He forbade me to help him take care of Luna, he forbade us to meet Luna, Jack. Christian wants to move Luna to Luxembourg, Jack.... Christian wants to take our granddaughter away...sob..sob..sob....”

Jack, who was sitting on the bed, immediately stood up. “What did you say? Christian wants to take Luna to move to Luxembourg? Is he out of his mind? Luna’s condition has just started to improve, how could he possibly bring Luna to move. After hours of traveling, what if something bad happens with Luna?”

Anne shook her head. “I don’t know, Jack. That’s what Christian told me earlier, he said he wanted to take Luna back to Luxembourg because he wanted to take care of her himself without all of us interfering, the one who made him lose Elena.”

Jack, who was previously so angry, immediately became silent, even though it was Anne who had just spoken but the effect he got was so great. The pain that hit him was so strong, it pierced his heart.

“Christian said we were overprotective of Suri, Jack. Christian also brought up the incident back then where you hurt him. Christian is really mad at us, Jack.”

Jack’s lips trembled. “Even though Christian is angry, he still won’t be able to take Luna away from us. Luna is our granddaughter and we have the right to take care of her. Christian won’t be able to take Luna away, Anne. It won’t be possible...”
