Love Worth Fighting For

Christian purses his lips. “I didn’t do anything, so what’s the fuss? You’re sick like this because of me anyway, aren’t you?”

Kainer was silent at the words Christian had just spoken, during Elena’s absence this was the first time he had heard his master speak in such soothing words. Christian, who was not aware that he was being watched by Kainer, continued to enjoy the freshly peeled , even though he had just finished eating with Zwetta but Christian was hungry again.

“Looks like Zwetta is doing a good job.”

Kainer’s words almost made Christian choke on the apple that had just crossed his throat, not wanting to make his pride fall in front of Kainer, immediately Christian grabbed the mineral water from the table and immediately drank it to push the remaining apples that were still stubbornly stuck in his throat.

“Are you all right, sir?” Kainer asked again, seeing how much Christian had been drinking worried Kainer.

“I’m fine, I just feel really thirsty. The air conditioner in this room doesn’t seem to be working properly.” Christian answered Kainer’s question casually, he didn’t want to drop his ego by admitting he almost choked on an apple when he heard Zwetta’s. “Are you okay in this room? Don’t you want to move?”

Kainer smiled a little. “I’m fine in this room, sir.”

Christian clears his throat. “Good, I’m happy to hear that.”

.....

“How is Miss Luna’s condition, sir? The nurses who came to take care of me did not want to answer my questions and to be honest I was very curious about Miss Luna’s condition.”

“Luna’s condition is stable, her condition is getting better. Doctor Kimmy even said that Luna is ready to receive her new heart if the donor is ready,” Christian replied with a smile. “My dream to see Luna running like a child her age is about to come true, Kainer.”

“A..are you serious, sir?” Kainer shrieked loudly, not long after that Kainer’s face was as red as a tomato as his chest ached again. The reckless action he had just made triggered a pain in his ribs from his quiet ape scream just a moment ago.

Seeing Kainer ‘s deteriorating condition, Christian then immediately pressed the help button to call the nurse and doctor. It didn’t take long, two nurses and a doctor finally arrived at Kainer’s room. Without daring to ask Christian who was already standing beside Kainer’s bed, the medics got to work. They immediately checked Kainer’s condition which had suddenly deteriorated. From where he stood Christian did nothing, his focus was still on Kainer who was receiving medical attention.

“Whoever you are, sooner or later I’ll find you,” Christian growls inwardly, cursing the man who ordered the criminals that had hurt Kainer. “I’ll make sure you’ll get more pain from Kainer.”

Christian’s hands are clenched into fists, holding back the emotions that exploded in his chest when he saw Kainer’s expression of pain that was so obvious when a doctor injected fluid into his IV tube. Even though he had been given an intravenous drip and had experienced the same administration of medicine through an IV line as Kainer had just received, Christian swore that the pain he felt at that time was not as painful as Kainer is feeling now.

The ten tense minutes were finally over, Kainer who had been feeling the pain had now calmed down and looked so peaceful in his sleep after the medicine he was given started to work.

“What happened to him? Before this he was fine, he could even tease me. But why is he suddenly like that?” Christian asks quietly.

“Mr Kainer’s condition has indeed improved from a few weeks ago when he was taken to the hospital, but he is still not allowed to talk too loudly or laugh as that would trigger the pain to come back, Mr Clarke.”

Christian nods his head in response to the words of the doctor specially assigned to treat Kainer. Christian recalls how Kainer’s condition initially deteriorated.

“Thank you for the help and please do the best for him, whatever it is if it’s for Kainer’s recovery, then do it immediately without having to ask for my approval,” Christian said again.

“Yes sir, I understand. Then I will excuse you, sir.”

After saying that, the doctor rushed out of Kainer to resume his duties again, while Christian just stared blankly at Kainer.

“Get well soon, buddy. I need you,” Christian says honestly, being used to working with Kainer for so many years makes it so difficult to do all the work alone.

Not wanting to disturb Kainer’s rest, Christian then decided to leave the room he had been in for almost an hour. With firm steps, Christian then walked towards Suri’s treatment room which was not far from Kainer’s treatment room. Christian had deliberately placed Kainer on the same floor as Suri’s treatment room; he did this so he could more easily control both of them at the same time.

“Mr Clarke.” Doctor Kimmy, who just came out of Luna’s treatment room, greeted Christian politely.

Christian smiles. “How is Luna today, doc?”

“Miss Luna is in stable condition, everything is really according to our expectations.”

“Thank goodness,” Christian says gratefully. “Is the donor we are looking for already available, doc?”

“Finding child donors is not easy, sir. It is much easier to find donors for adults than child donors, especially those who are under one year old like Miss Luna. Therefore I ask you to be patient a little longer, me and the team of doctors and others will continue to try to find the right donor for Miss Luna.” Doctor Kimmy explained clearly about the reality he was facing in the field, what Doctor Kimmy said was true. Until now, she and her team of doctors had difficulty finding the right donor for Luna, that’s why she chose to explain clearly to Christian so that there would be no misunderstanding between them.

Christian nodded. “I understand doc, you can calm down. Do it according to the procedure, remember my previous message. Make sure no other child becomes a victim in the search for a new heart for Luna, I don’t want to take another child’s life to save my own child.”

“I understand sir.”

“Okay, oh yeah. Can I come inside? I want to see Luna, I miss her.”

Doctor Kimmy smiled. Every day after work, Christian always takes the time to visit Luna even though he only sees his beautiful child from behind the glass without direct touch. Therefore, it seems very unlikely if he misses Luna.

“Of course, but as usual you must still wear special clothes before meeting Luna.”
