245 The tempter

Like a madman, Christian drives his car at high speed to the children’s hospital which now belongs to his family. Although his worries have not been proven, Christian still decides to go to his father who currently looks after Luna, the most valuable treasure he currently has.

Even though Elena is Luna’s biological mother, Christian will not let her take Luna from him. Especially with Luna’s special condition which requires her to be in and out of the hospital. No, Christian wouldn’t be able to let Luna be taken by force like that from him.

Christian’s arrival to the hospital this early in fact did not make the guards at the hospital off guard, those who were already so familiar with the dozens of luxury car collections belonging to the Clarke family immediately lined up neatly when they saw one of the special edition two-door cars starting to enter the children’s hospital area which has now officially become one of the valuable assets belonging to the Clarke family which increasingly makes the Clarke family name at the top.

“Good morning, young master.”

Christian who was in a hurry, just nodded slowly, responding to the greeting given by ten men who were waiting for him in front of the main entrance of the hospital. Christian, whose focus is only on Luna, continues to walk quickly towards the elevator that has been prepared for him by a guard.

Once in the elevator, Christian immediately pressed the button on the elevator wall to the VIP room where Luna was. Christian, who for eight months has made the hospital his second home, really can’t wait to meet his father who is still taking care of Luna in his stead.

“Dad!” Christian shouts loudly at Jack who is still sitting on the sofa in front of Luna’s treatment room.

Feeling called, Jack then turned his face towards the source of the voice. His smile widens when he sees Christian, Jack who Asher had told about what happened to Christian a few moments ago at home looks so calm to welcome Christian who looks so panicked and scared. Christian really can’t hide his fear at this point.

“What’s wrong? What brings you to the hospital so early?” asks Jack softly as Christian stops in front of him.

Instead of answering his father’s question, Christian chose to turn his face to Luna’s treatment room. The two blue beads stared at Luna’s small body, which lay so comfortably on the special bed made for her through a large transparent glass that allowed people outside to see the situation in the room freely.

“Luna’s still sleeping,” Jack said quietly, following what he had said earlier. “Doctor Kimmy will only have a routine visit at eight in the morning, there is still one more hour for Luna to sleep without disturbance.”

Christian takes a deep breath, feeling so relieved to hear the words that just came out of his father’s lips. For a moment Christian forgets what the purpose of coming in a hurry to the hospital, seeing his daughter’s tiny body in the sterile room in front of him makes Christian forget the world for a few seconds.

As someone who has had more life experience, Jack smiled slightly at Christian’s current attitude. Using his big hand Jack touches Christian’s shoulder. “What brings you to the hospital so early, Son?”

His father’s touch and voice managed to make Christian realize, Christian quickly turned his face towards his father who was still giving his best smile.

“What is the problem?” Jack again asked a similar question.

“Elena,” Christian replies hoarsely. “I feel her presence, Dad.”

Jack furrows his brows, trying to overcome his surprise at Christian’s strange sounding words. “Feeling Elena’s presence?”

Christian nods quickly. “Yes, I had a feeling that Elena would come.” Christian stops his words. “What if she comes to take Luna from me, Dad? She has as much rights over Luna as I do, what if she intends to separate Luna from me, Dad?” Christian’s voice trembled violently when he said Luna’s name.

Jack who had prepared himself again moved his hand that was on Christian’s shoulder, several times he patted the shoulder of his son who already looked a little different. “Luna is not going anywhere, she will stay with us. No one can take Luna from us, even if that person is her own biological mother. You don’t have to worry, Luna will stay with us until the end.”

As if doused with ice, Christian looks so relieved. The blush on his cheeks slowly appeared, replacing the white color that had surrounded Christian’s handsome face, which was a little thin.

“Come sit down, accompany Daddy for tea.”

Christian, who had no reason to refuse, agreed to his father’s request with a small nod and headed to a small room not far from Luna’s room. The arrival of Christian and Jack in the room was greeted by Anne who had just finished her makeup, Anne who did not know anything immediately hugged Christian tightly as usual.

“You haven’t eaten, have you?” asked Anne softly.

“Not yet, Mom.”

Anne smiled. “Okay, then let’s eat together.”

Without arguing, Christian then sat in the chair that was already available. Just like when he was a child, Christian sits flanked by his parents who are now sitting opposite each other at the 3 x 2 meter dining table. As if he was at home, Anne then served the food that had been prepared by the chef who came directly from the house onto the plates of her husband and son. Anne really does her job so well. After confirming that the plates of the two great men were filled with food, only then did he fill his own.

“Mommy hope you like our breakfast menu this time,” said Anne softly as she placed the turkey slices on her plate.

Christian smiles. “How could I not like it?”

Anne pursed her lips. “It’s home cooking, because the chef who makes our food comes from home. It’s just that because we are currently in the hospital, Mommy hopes this doesn’t reduce your appetite.”

“I’m used to eating in hospitals, Mom. Mommy don’t worry, I’ll definitely finish this,” Christian replies quietly, promising to finish his meal.

Anne grabs Christian’s hand and squeezes it gently for a few seconds before finally starting to eat, Jack who has been silent for a while grabs his fork and begins to enjoy the food that is served in front of him voraciously. Although very curious, Jack tries not to talk to Christian. He doesn’t want to make Christian stop eating, Christian’s weight loss has started to bother him. That’s why he wants to make sure Christian finishes his meal first this morning.

Anne can’t hide her happiness when she sees Christian finish his food without any leftovers, she looks so relieved to see her son back to eating voraciously. And it’s not only Anne who looks so happy to see Christian eat heartily, Jack also looks so relieved to see that the pile of food previously served by his wife on the plate of their proud son has now disappeared without a trace. Anne, who actually wanted to accompany Jack and Christian to sit longer at the dinner table, was forced to cancel when she saw the arrival of doctor Kimmy and her assistant to check on Luna’s condition, just like Christian and Jack today, Luna is her main priority. That’s why Anne immediately left the dining table and went straight to doctor Kimmy.

“So what makes you think that Elena will reappear after being mysteriously missing for eight months, Son?” Jack finally brought out the big question that had bothered him for nearly thirty minutes. “Who told you that Elena Wilson was coming?”

Christian shakes his head slowly. “No one told me.”

“So?”

“Feeling,” Christian replies curtly. “And this feeling has never existed before.”

“Christ...”

“It’s hard to understand, but this is how I feel, Dad,” Christian says again.

“We really have no right to forbid Elena from seeing Luna, even though Elena is Luna’s biological mother. She has the same rights as all of us,” said Jack wisely. “But we have a great right to forbid Elena from bringing Luna, apart from Luna’s impossible condition, Elena has no right to take care of the baby she has cruelly left behind.”

Christian is silent, he is a little disturbed by the last sentence his father said. Even though Elena had abandoned him so cruelly, there was not the slightest bit of hatred for the girl. The sin he committed on Elena is still far bigger than Elena’s biggest mistake by leaving him with Luna.

“Luna will always be with us, Christ. Hold on to these words, as long as Daddy lives, Daddy will keep Daddy’s words,” added Jack, continuing his sentence. “Daddy won’t let Daddy’s precious granddaughter be taken away.”

Christian’s intention to respond to his father’s words is stopped by the soft voice of Charlotte who suddenly stands in front of the door of the room they are currently in, the beautiful blue eyed girl looks guiltily at Christian and Jack. Feeling that she has a special place in Anne’s heart makes Charlotte have that much confidence to interrupt the conversation of the number one businessman in Geneva with his heir.

“I’m not bothering you guys, am I?” she asks innocently, her wide eyes looking childlike at Christian and Jack in turn.

Jack was the first to respond. “No, we just finished eating. Have you eaten, Charlotte?”

“What a pity,” replied Charlotte in a tone of such artificial disappointment. “Even though I purposely made breakfast for all of us, it turns out that Uncle and Christian have already eaten.”

“Making breakfast?” Jack repeated Charlotte’s words questioningly.

Charlotte immediately lifted the box of food that had been in her hands up into the air, showing it to Jack and Christian. “Yeah, I made this dish since morning alone in the kitchen without anyone’s help for us to enjoy together,” replied Charlotte in a tone full of thick disappointment. “But since Uncle and Christian have already eaten, I guess I’ll have to let this food be enjoyed by others.”
