Chapter 113
113 Back to Geneva
Not only Elena, Elena’s parents were also so shocked when they saw a Christian Clarke suddenly kneel down to propose to Elena without any shame.
“It’s not funny, Christ...” Elena’s voice was soft and slightly trembling, Elena was trying her best not to faint at this point. Proposed by a handsome rich man who became the idol of all single girls throughout the country who certainly had many advantages over him who did not have the slightest plus point.
Christian smiles. “I’m not joking, Elena. Since you keep rejecting me again and again, then this is the only way to prove my seriousness to you, in front of your parents. So Elena Wilson, do you want to be my friend when I’m sad and happy, to be my leaning on from now until my last breath?”
“But Christ...”
Elena’s words suddenly stopped when Christian’s cell phone rang, one of Christian’s habits that hasn’t gone away until now is forgetting to change the ring mode of his cellphone.
Christian, who doesn’t like anyone disturbing the most important moments in his life, grabs his cellphone and intends to turn it off, but when he sees the name that appears on his cellphone screen, Christian’s intentions change.
“Erick...”
“Miss Suri fainted, young master. Currently Mr. Jack and Mrs. Anne are taking her to the hospital...”
Prank
.....
Because he was too shocked, Christian dropped the cellphone he was holding onto the floor. And Elena, who knew that Christian was still connected to someone on his cellphone, grabbed the white cell phone from the floor.
Erick, who didn’t know that Christian had dropped his cell phone, continued to talk and Elena, who was now holding the cellphone, could hear what Erick was saying.
“Christ...”
“We have to go to Geneva, Elena. We have to go back to my home soon.” Christian immediately cut Elena’s words with his hoarse voice that was so strong, by this time Christian had put the box containing the ring for Elena back into the pocket of his black coat.
The confused Elena slowly turned to her parents, trying to get an opinion. After seeing a small nod from her parents giving her permission to go to Geneva, Elena rushes up to her room to get her bag and some personal items before leaving with Christian.
When Elena is going down the stairs, Christian who looks so shocked is being comforted by Mrs. Camila. The woman whose hair is almost white is giving Christian support to be patient.
“Get in Geneva and tell me straight away,” said Mr. Wilson quietly to Elena as they came out of the house.
Elena nodded slowly. “Sure, I’ll definitely let you know when I get to Geneva.”
Mrs Camila smiled. “Be careful, Elena.”
Elena smiled, after giving her parents a hug, Elena immediately got into the car where Christian was waiting for her. After Elena got into the car, Christian immediately drove his car away at high speed towards the highway leaving Elena’s parents’ house which was in a narrow alley.
“Is it time for us to let Elena go and live happily ever after, Camila?”
Mrs Camila pursed her lips at her husband’s words. “Elena is an adult, it’s time for her to have a life of her own and our job is only to be here when she sees her being happy with a man who loves her with all his heart.”
Mr. Wilson took a deep breath. “Time sure goes by really fast.”
Because the night was getting colder, Mrs. Camila then invited her husband back into the house. Tonight, they were both so happy to see their only daughter proposed by a man who has such a good background. Although they haven’t had the chance to see Christian put the ring on Elena’s ring finger, the husband and wife are already quite happy when they know that a man as good as Christian Clarke proposed to their daughter.
Luxembourg Findel Airport, 10.00 PM.
“Miss Suri is still unconscious, sir. But the doctors are trying their best to help her,” Kainer said quietly, reporting the results of her last communication with Erick when Christian had fastened his seat belt on the plane.
“What exactly happened, Kainer?” Elena who was already very curious finally got up the courage to ask.
Kainer’s attention slowly shifted to Elena who was sitting in front of her, after taking a deep breath Kainer then told what happened to Suri. Even though he had only heard the story from Erick, Kainer was so detailed in recounting the information he got from Jackson Clarke’s best assistant.
“Does Suri have a history of certain diseases before?” asked Elena carefully as soon as Kainer finished speaking.
“No, my sister is perfectly fine,” Christian replies quietly. “Suri has never been sick for more than two days, even as a child she was the strongest of the children her age.”
Elena smiled, she slowly squeezed Christian’s hand which was already so cold. “Then she too will be fine by now, Christ.”
Christian immediately lowered his head, he did not respond to Elena’s words. Christian is too afraid to imagine bad things will happen to his sister and Elena chooses to be silent, she wants to give Christian time to calm down. Elena knows how worried and panicked Christian is right now.
Kainer, who was the only person who still kept in touch with Erick, was busy with his cell phone again. Christian is lucky to have someone like Kainer who is smart and responsive. As soon as he got the bad news about Suri, Kainer immediately took care of everything, from the flight to Luxembourg to other small things, he immediately did so neatly and flawlessly. Until finally Christian was able to fly straight to Luxembourg without thinking about anything else.
In one week Elena had been in and out of three different countries many times, were it not for Christian there would be no way she could have lived such a very busy life like now. Understanding that Christian is not an ordinary person, Elena slowly begins to get used to the busy schedule that Cristian has been through all this time.
Returning to her feet in Geneva made Elena feel a little calmer than before, even though there was fear in her but Elena tried not to show it to Christian. Elena knows that Christian’s concentration is still on Suri and Elena doesn’t want to add to Christian’s burden again.
“Everything will be fine, Christ,” Elena said softly to Christian who had just gotten off the plane.
Christian smiles. “Thank you, Elena.”
Elena nods her head, she slowly wraps her arms around Christian’s arm and leads him to walk towards the car that has been waiting for them since an hour ago when they find out Christian is on his way to Geneva.
As soon as Christian and everyone else got into the car, Nicholas immediately took the black car out of the airport to the hospital where Suri was.
