Love Worth Fighting For

137 Sleep together *again

Hearing the sound of Elena’s stomach makes Christian chuckle.

“Your mouth may lie, but not your body,” Christian says quietly, trying not to laugh. “Come here, you have to eat and then take your medicine. You don’t want to be sick all the time, do you?”

“Why are you here?”

Christian smiles wryly. “Of course to take care of you, shouldn’t I be responsible for the mistakes I’ve made, huh?”

“You don’t need to be responsible for anything, so it’s better if you go now because I don’t want to see you,” replied Elena curtly. “We have no relationship whatsoever, both in terms of work or other problems.”

“You can be mad at me as much as you want after you’ve recovered, so you better eat quickly so you can get better and be angry with me,” Christian says softly as he holds out his hand towards Elena.

Elena stares intently at the porridge in Christian’s hands, her limp and pale form really makes Elena want to throw up.

“Open your mouth quickly, Elena. My hands are numb.”

Elena nodded slowly. “It looks disgusting, Christ. I don’t want to eat it.”

.....

“This is the best food for sick people, so don’t protest. Now open your mouth,” Christian says again, forcing Elena to eat.

Having no other choice, Elena finally did as Christian ordered, as soon as the porridge entered her mouth, Elena almost vomited it. But because Christian continues to pay attention to it, Elena finally chooses to swallow it even though it is so difficult.

Christian’s smile widens when he sees Elena finish her food, Christian eagerly feeds Elena again.

“Enough Christ, I can’t eat anymore. It tastes like vomit,” Elena refused with teary eyes.

“But you’ve only eaten five mouthfuls, Elena.”

“I could throw up if I forced myself to eat again,” Elena answered honestly.

Christian takes a deep breath. “Okay, I won’t force you anymore. But you still have to take your medicine and I don’t want to hear any refusals from you.”

Elena nodded resignedly.

Seeing Elena agree, Christian immediately puts the bowl of tasteless porridge on the table and immediately reaches for the medicine doctor Jonathan had prescribed this afternoon. Christian so skillfully takes out the medicine that Elena had to take from the jar.

“This much?” asked Elena in horror, seeing that there were five pills of medicine that must have been bitter before her eyes frightened her.

“If you were hospitalized the amount of medicine you would have to take would be more than this, Elena.”

As if understanding where Christian’s conversation was going, Elena was forced to grab the five drugs and drink them in one gulp.

Elena shook her head after successfully drinking the five pills, the five medicines she took at the same time were really bitter.

Christian laughs in amusement, seeing Elena’s adorable behavior. He was happy that his stubborn Elena was back. Since Elena had already taken her medicine, Christian then tidied the medicine back into its place and went up to Elena’s bed without any guilt.

“W..what are you doing? Why come up on my bed?” Elena shrieked in surprise.

“Of course to sleep, so what else?”

“No.” Elena immediately grabbed the blanket which Christian barely touched. “You can’t sleep here, I don’t want to see you.”

“Elena,” Christian sighs hoarsely. “It’s eleven o’clock at night, your parents are already asleep, you don’t want to wake them up, do you?”

“Don’t take my parents to be your shield, all I want is for you to leave. I don’t want to see you again,” replied Elena curtly.

Christian smiles. “But I’m sorry, Elena. I’m not leaving your house until you get better. So you have to get used to my presence, after all we’ve shared a bed and warmth together so I don’t think you need to throw me out like this.”

Elena’s cheeks immediately reddened at the vulgar words that had just left Christian’s lips.

“It’s getting late, you’ve also taken medicine. It would be better if you sleep, I’m very tired and so sleepy Elena. Let’s sleep, there are still many days you can use to be angry with me,” Christian said back as he grabbed the blanket which was in Elena’s arms and rushed to sleep beside Elena without any guilt. “Sleep, Elena. How long are you going to keep sitting like that?”

Elena purses her lips, she forgets that Christian is a shameless human. With annoyance, Elena slowly laid her body back on the bed, even though Elena’s bed was not big but the bed was enough to accommodate two adults to sleep. And this is what happens now, Elena shares her bed with Christian.

Elena’s eyes which had just been closed, suddenly opened wide when she felt Christian’s big hands wrap around her stomach.

“Christ...”

“Don’t refuse, Elena,” Christian says hoarsely. “I just want to sleep while hugging you, I won’t do anything. My main priority right now is your recovery, you don’t have to worry.”

Just like before, Elena immediately melted at Christian’s words. Elena couldn’t resist Christian at all. Reluctantly, Elena lets Christian do what he wants. After all at this time Elena did not have much energy to fight Christian.

Elena’s eyes were closed again, the medicine she had just taken a moment ago was working. Realizing that Elena was asleep made Christian, who had only closed his eyes without actually sleeping, smiled.

Cup

Christian lands a soft kiss on Elena’s forehead.

“Get well soon, honey. I can’t see you like this, I’m sorry,” Christian whispers softly. “I promise we’ll be fine after this, I really can’t wait to take you back to my house which is bigger and more comfortable than yours that looks like a cowshed.”

As if she still heard what Christian said, Elena immediately squealed in annoyance as soon as Christian called her house similar to a cowshed. And it makes Christian laugh again.

“I really can’t let you go anymore, Elena. So I’m sorry, whatever happens you will still be my woman,” Christian says again earnestly.

After landing a kiss on Elena’s forehead again, Christian then closes his eyes again trying to follow Elena into dreamland
