Chapter 115
After releasing his mother’s embrace, Christian’s attention was drawn to Areez and Aldrich who were standing not far from Erick. Ignoring his father’s greeting, Christian continues walking towards Areez past Mr. Kaoru and his wife. Areez, who is ready to face Christian, tries to stay calm even though our hearts are racing ten times faster after realizing that Christian, whom he has hated all this time, is part of the Clarke family.
“Why are you here?” Christian asks Areez coldly.
Kainer, who realized that Christian had recognized Areez, immediately ran behind Christian, trying to keep him from getting emotional.
“Have you two known each other before?” from behind Jack spoke.
Cristian slowly turned his gaze to his father who was walking towards him. “Daddy knows him?” Christian asked back.
“Of course Daddy knows him, he’s Daddy’s new business partner, Areez Floyen,” Jack replied flatly.
Not just Christians. Elena, Kainer, Aldrich and Areez themselves were also shocked to hear the father and son’s conversation.
Areez and Aldrich were shocked when they found out Christian was your son Jackson Clarke, while Elena and Kainer were shocked when they heard Jack’s words introducing Areez as his new business partner.
.....
“He’s Daddy’s business partner? Oh come on, Dad,” Christian says irritably. “Daddy doesn’t know who he is, how can Daddy make his to be Daddy’s new business partner.”
Jack frowned. “What do you mean, Christ?”
“I mean...”
The door to Suri’s treatment room suddenly opened from the inside and managed to make Christian stop talking immediately. Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to a female doctor who appeared from behind the open door.
Anne, who was already very panicked, immediately attacked the doctor with questions that didn’t stop until finally Jack had to calm her down. The doctor who understands Anne’s worries can only smile, as a fellow doctor mother understands what Anne is feeling right now.
“Miss Suri is awake and her condition is fine now,” said the doctor slowly with a smile.
Christian who was standing behind his father immediately came forward, standing right in front of the doctor who had just finished speaking. “If my sister is fine then why did she suddenly faint, doc?”
“Miss Suri is just tired.”
“Exhausted? How is that possible? Suri is the strongest girl I know, she’s not that weak. Have you done a thorough check on her, doc?” Christian again chides the doctor with several questions at once, questions that have been locked in his head since an hour ago when he found out that Suri had passed out.
The female doctor named Amber smiled. “My team and I have been observing Miss Suri for the past hour and we didn’t find any abnormality or bad things that happened to Miss Suri, young master. Therefore, I’m very sure that if Miss Suri is tired, has she been doing a lot of activities lately? physically exhausting?”
“Two days ago it was Suri’s birthday and she was so enthusiastic about taking care of some of the knick-knacks for her birthday, doc,” replied Anne softly.
“Well, it could be because of that. Because she was too enthusiastic about welcoming her birthday party, she went along too much to force her energy until she finally fainted today because she didn’t get enough rest,” answered the doctor Amber again.
Although not satisfied with hearing the doctor’s explanation, Christian looks much calmer, hearing the news that Suri is currently fine made all the tightness in his chest disappear.
After Amber’s doctor spoke, Anne and Jack were finally allowed to see Suri and Christian of course didn’t want to be left behind. Cristian immediately entered Suri’s treatment room ahead of his parents, Jack and Anne, who knew how much Christian loved their sister, did not forbid or reprimand him.
When Christian and his parents entered Suri’s treatment room, Kainer immediately approached Areez and Aldrich who had been listening to the doctor’s explanation for Suri’s condition.
“What exactly are you two doing in this place?” asked Kainer coldly. “Isn’t that warning Mr Christian gave you enough to deter you, huh?”
Areez, who was so nervous at this time, immediately put on his best smile. Areez tried his best to cover up the anxiety that hit him when he found out that Christian was Suri’s older brother. “Didn’t you hear what Mr. Jackson Clarke said earlier, Kainer?”
“I want to hear directly from the two of you, so it’s best if you answer now!” said Kainer again.
Aldrich, who didn’t like to see Areez being yelled at by Kainer immediately stepped forward, protecting Areez from Kainer’s gaze. “There’s nothing for us to explain when Mr. Jack has said everything.”
“Both of you are really shameless, after you tried to destroy the hotel business that Mr. Christian runs in Australia, now you are looking for face by cooperating with Mr. Jack. What a shame,” Kainer sneered sarcastically, Kainer really wanted to get rid of the both of them.
Hearing Kainer’s words that were so harsh and cruel, Aldrich just smiled a little. He had to remain calm and not be provoked by Kainer’s words, he knew that at this time Areez still wanted to stay in the hospital to find out more about Suri’s condition. Aldrich knew that Areez would definitely not go home until he met Suri in person, so he had to stay in the hospital despite hearing the unpleasant words from Kainer.
While Aldrich was serving Kainer, Areez’s attention suddenly turned to Elena. Elena who is still standing near Christian’s bodyguards at this time makes Areez suddenly feel familiar to him, even though he has met Elena several times but Areez feels something different from his meeting this time with the girl who is currently trying to calm down.
“We meet again, Elena,” Areez said quietly as he stood near Elena who was still patiently waiting for Christian to come out.
Elena smiled. “Yes, we meet again, Mr. Floyen.”
“You look different from the last time we met, Elena,” Areez said again.
“Different? It’s just your feelings, sir. I’m still the same as before, nothing has changed,” replied Elena quietly, trying to remain calm as she glanced at the door of Suri’s treatment room, in case Christian suddenly came out of the room.
Areez narrowed his eyes. “Have we met long before we met in South Australia three months ago, Elena?”
