Chapter 294

294 Zwetta’s first promise

“Don’t wake up!”

Christian who was trying to lift his head, immediately turned to his right side.

“You’re still not allowed to leave this bed.” Zwetta, who had been patiently waiting for Christian for more than five hours, spoke softly. “Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

“Where am I?”

Zwetta pursed her lips. “Hospital.”

“I’m still in the hospital? Why should I..ouuchhh...”

“You’re really stubborn,” Zwetta grumbled, annoyed, like a professional nurse, Zwetta then checked the IV tube attached to the back of Christian’s hand which was accidentally pulled by Christian who wanted to touch his head just a moment ago. “Fortunately the needle didn’t come off.”

Christian finally managed to remember all the events that happened to him when he just got out of the hotel.

“You got three stitches on your left arm, maybe that’s what makes you feel uncomfortable right now,” Zwetta said quietly.

.....

“Three stitches?”

“Yeah, looks like you got slammed pretty hard when you got hit by that courier.”

“Courier?”

Zwetta nodded. “Yes, the person who hit you was a courier who was in a hurry to the house of one of his company’s expedition service users who was angry because he was waiting for the goods he ordered.”

“Is the courier’s condition serious? I mean, is he...”

“Don’t worry, I’ve finished everything. The courier has also been allowed to go home, he only has minor abrasions on his leg.” Zwetta spoke softly, Zwetta knew where Christian was talking. Zwetta managed to read the changes in Christian’s face well.

“I’m grateful.”

Zwetta pursed her lips, she slowly returned Christian’s cell phone which had run out of power after being continuously contacted by a girl named Cherry whose name kept appearing on the cellphone screen before finally the cellphone actually died due to running out of power. Zwetta who felt bad then told the reason why she took the cell phone out of the jacket which was already covered in blood to the owner who seemed to listen to her explanation very well, even though Christian already looked much better than five hours ago but his body was still so weak.

“Charlotte is my childhood friend.”

“Childhood friend?”

Christian nodded. “His father was the former secretary general of the United Nations, Chester Lloyd, who had a pretty good relationship with my parents. That’s why we’ve known each other since we were little.”

“No wonder she keeps contacting you non-stop, apparently you guys have a pretty special relationship,” Zwetta said quietly without a burden.

“I already consider her my own sister, don’t be jealous.”

Zwetta’s head immediately turned to Christian without being prevented. “W..what did you say? Jealous? Why should I be jealous of you? There’s no point in you being jealous of you.”

Christian smiled a little, seeing Zwetta who was sulking like this made him think of Elena. When she was angry, Elena would also give the exact same expression as Zwetta right now.

“I’m thirsty, can you help me to drink?”

Even though she was upset, Zwetta couldn’t refuse Christian’s request. With lips still tightly locked, Zwetta then helped Christian to drink. After supporting Christian’s head with her left hand, Zwetta then pointed a glass of water at the man. Zwetta patiently waits for Christian to finish drinking.

“It’s enough?” Zwetta asked quietly to Chistian who had moved his lips away from the glass in his hand.

“Yes,” Christian replies curtly. “Thank you, Zee.”

Instead of responding to Christian’s words, Zwetta chose to help the man back down on his hospital bed.

“Looks like you’ll have to stay at the hospital tonight, Christ.”

“Stay? Why should I stay? I’m fine now,” Christian replies arrogantly.

Zwetta who knew that Christian was trying to hide his pain smiled a little, a few seconds ago Zwetta saw Christian grimacing in pain after he finished speaking. It seems very clear that the man is not well at the moment, the words of the doctor who examined Christian five hours ago are now evident. Christian still needs intensive care.

“I will accompany you,” said Zwetta suddenly. “So there’s no reason for you to refuse to be treated.”

Christian’s droopy eyes opened wide. “Accompany me?”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Yes, I’ll accompany you. That’s if you want.”

“Of course I would, Zee!” Christian shouts loudly, he looks so excited right now.

“Okay then,” Zwetta said quietly. “Now I will call the nurse to check your condition first then.”

“Where are you going?” Christian quickly chimed in on Zwetta’s words as he grabbed his cell phone from the table.

Zwetta smiled a little. “I want to buy coffee at the vending machine, don’t worry.”

Christian nodded his head, because the nurse called Zwetta came, Zwetta then left the treatment room where Christian was. After receiving a thorough examination from the doctor, Christian was then transferred to the treatment room which was next to the nurse’s desk. Because of that, the nurse called Zwetta was able to quickly come to the room.

Zwetta steps towards the vending machine at the end of the hall, Zwetta was very uneasy right now after saying the promise that just came out of her lips. The promise she made to Christian a few moments ago really bothered her, Zwetta, who actually really didn’t want to be around Christian Clarke, became very confused when she made an appointment to accompany Christian to spend the night in the hospital. Zwetta really didn’t understand why she could talk like that.

It was the baby photo that became the wallpaper on Christian’s cellphone that actually made Zwetta stay by Christian’s side until now. She felt so uneasy seeing the baby photo whose size was very different from the size of other normal babies. Although she rarely interacts with the baby, the photo really makes her uneasy. The questions that ran through her head made her uncomfortable.

“Stop interfering in other people’s lives, Zee!” Zwetta shook her head quickly. “You won’t be in this country for long, so stop getting involved in other people’s troubles.”

Zwetta put her head on the body vending machine in front of her, Zwetta was really uncomfortable at this time. Her meeting with Christian and Suri a week ago had made her very nervous, especially after she found out that there was another girl who had become one of the victims of Osbert’s madness. Although Osbert was not involved in Christian and Elena Wilson’s relationship, indirectly all the chaos came from Osbert. If only that madman hadn’t targeted Suri Mireya Clarke as his victim, it’s possible that all of Elena Wilson wouldn’t have experienced the pain they are now.
