Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 33: Traitors

“Once the medicine works she will be fine, for now let her rest.” An elderly doctor spoke to Kainer, explaining the condition of Elena who was still unconscious.

Thirty minutes ago, after Elena suddenly fainted, Kainer immediately took Elena to a clinic not far from the Clarke International Hotel with Christian who looked very surprised to see Elena fainted.

After getting an explanation from the doctor, Kainer immediately approached Christian who was standing at the end of Elena’s bed.

“What did the doctor say?”

“Elena is exhausted, sir. That’s why she fainted, plus her fever which is...”

“Did she have a fever from what happened last night?” Surprisingly Christian mentions the watering on Elena last night.

“Could be, sir. Elena had mentioned the reason for cutting my hair earlier because of what happened last night.”

.....

Inevitably, Christian immediately turned his face towards Kainer. “Speak more clearly.”

“Elena said the reason for cutting her hair was because her hair was sticky and difficult to clean even though she had tried washing her hair many times after being exposed to the wine, that’s why she cut her hair very short to make it easier for her to clean her hair. It seems that because of taking too long a bath she became like this, sir,” said Kainer quietly.

Surprisingly, for the first time in years, Kainer could see the intense glint of anger on Christian’s usually expressionless face even though he saw the people around him getting into trouble.

“Find out who the person who watered Elena last night was.” Christian hissed as he turned his gaze back to Elena who a moment ago had moved his fingers.

“His name is Areez Floyen, sir.”

“The name of the man who watered Elena?” Christian confirms once again.

Kainer nodded slowly. “That’s right, Areez Floyen is the last descendant of the Floyen aristocrats who once ruled all of mainland New Zealand. He currently lives in Auckland, in his family’s mansion.

“The lord who ruled all of New Zealand? Hmmm interesting, no wonder he’s so arrogant and annoying, it turns out he’s a nobleman,” Christian murmurs quietly.

“A few moments ago one of our people gave information that the person who was looking to build an artificial island on the beach near the Clarke family’s hotel was Areez Floyen That, sir.”

“What??” Christian forgets where he is, so a loud scream escapes his lips when Kainer says Areez Floyen is the one responsible for the busyness he’s been in lately

Christian’s screams seemed to move slightly and the corners of Christian’s eyes saw the movement. Realizing his mistake, Christian then walked quickly to the door leaving Elena’s bedside which Kainer immediately followed behind him.

Once outside Elena’s treatment room, Kainer immediately explained everything in detail to Christian. While Kainer spoke not a single word escaped from Christian lips, Christian just kept quiet without changing his cold and dark facial expression.

“Aided by one of the sons of an official in Australia, Areez Floyen’s ambition is to build an artificial island like the one in Dubai. And this project has been approved by almost half the people in the Australian parliament.”

“Damn it, how did we get missed like this?” Christian growled furiously. “The reclamation project must not be carried out along the coast that is in the area of ??the Clarke International Hotel, for whatever reason I will oppose it most vehemently. Use all my connections to gather the people in parliament who approved the project and bring them all before me tonight, I want to solve this problem immediately.” Christian’s chest heaved up and down as he spoke.

“Okay sir, I will immediately contact our people to bring everyone who approved the reclamation project,” Kainer replied obediently, the next second Kainer rushed away from Christian’s presence to complete all the tasks that the master had just given.

Christian still stands soundlessly staring down the hall where Kainer just disappeared, Kainer’s words keep replaying in his head.

“Shit..damn... how can I be missed like this? Those disgusting rats are really ungrateful, after I’ve fed them all these years they’re paying me back,” Christian growls emotionally. “Just see what I can do to punish you guys.”

Despite being very angry, Christian is still responsible to Elena. Christian decides to go back into Elena’s treatment room while waiting to hear from Kainer who is carrying out the task he just gave him.

By the time Christian has just sat down, Elena opens her eyes. It took a few minutes for Elena to know where she was now, a small shriek escaped Elena’s pale lips as she realized where she was.

“Why am I in the hospital?”

Christian who is staring at his cellphone screen glances at Elena who is looking at him with sad eyes, her face still hasn’t returned. Elena’s appearance was a complete mess.

“Isn’t this natural after what you did last night? Washing your hair over and over again, you’re not a child, Elena. Can’t you think of the consequences if you do that?” Without guilt, Christian asks Elena a barrage of questions, who has just woken up from her stupor.

Elana lowers her head which she previously raised to look at Christian. “Th-the smell of the wine still lingers in my hair so I decided to wash it many times.”

“If you’ve washed it many times like that why did you cut your hair after? Wouldn’t it be easier if you cut your hair first before washing it many times like that, huh?” Christian quips sarcastically. “It seems there is a problem in your brain, you are too slow in making decisions.”

Elena locks her lips, feeling like it would be useless if she explained everything to Christian. His arrogant boss certainly would not believe in the myth that cutting hair would get rid of bad luck as he believed.

Christian’s jaw tightens when he sees Elena’s silence. “You’d better get some sleep so your medicine will take effect, there’s something nice I want to show you tonight.”

“Something fun?”

Christian purses his lips. “You’ll find out later tonight, so don’t fret now and go to sleep. You’ve been a huge hassle for me today.”

“Sorry.”

“Don’t say sorry, I don’t need that,” Christian retorts. “As long as you get well soon and can work again then I will forget today’s incident, you are the only employee who made me carry you, Elena.”

Elena immediately covered her lips with her hands. “Y-you carried me?”

“What do you think? Should I throw you from the hotel all the way to this clinic, huh?”

Elena’s cheeks turned red, she had never been in contact with any man. Because of that right now her heart was beating very fast when she heard that she had just been carried by a man and unfortunately that man was the man she hated, not the prince charming she had always wanted.

“Go to sleep Elena, you don’t want to see me getting angrier, do you?”

Christian’s words broke Elena’s thoughts, without being instructed twice Elena closed her eyes immediately. After all, even without being ordered, Elena intended to sleep, the drowsiness that had attacked her since earlier was so strong.

Seeing Elena close her eyes Christian exhales a long breath, as if relieved to have solved a problem, Christian returns to focus his attention on his cellphone which is still connected to a system display that he only knows as a CEO of Clarke Enterprise.
