Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 83

Luca POV

I stepped out of the car once it got pulled open by my driver and started to make my way into the

hospital building immediately, my hand holding my phone against my ear as I passed the gateman who

was standing at the entrance of the hospital building. I got into the elevator and stood in a particular

spot since the elevator was currently being used by a couple of other people at the very moment.

Once I arrived at my floor, I stepped off the elevator and started to glance around in search of James

since he was already here, like he said so to me, moments ago on the phone. I made my way deeper

through the hallway and kept staring around the whole waiting chairs until I caught a glimpse of him.

He was leaning against the other side of the hospital wall with his feet bent backwards, resting against

the wall while his head was bent downwards and his hands which were shoved deep into his pockets

were currently vibrating a little in his pockets.

It was obvious to me that although he was deep in thought, his guard wasn’t let down completely. He

was still completely aware of everything that was happening around him, by the way his hands were

moving in his pants pockets, and the way his other foot was moving from side to side, it was obvious to

me that he was very much aware of all that was going on around him.

I started to make my way towards him and I watched as he lifted his head up and locked eyes with

mine even before I completely got to where he was standing. He pushed off the wall immediately after

started msking his way towards me, coming to stand before us and we stared at each other quietly

without saying a thing.

His hands were deep in his pockets, my fingers were also shoved deep in my pockets. We remained

quiet and after a few more seconds, I turned around and started to make my way towards the corner

and side of the room where Aria was placed. James fell into step beside my side immediately, his wide

shoulders brushing against mine a little as we made our way towards our destination together.

We both stopped outside the room where Aria was place in, the place where we were supposed to be

able to look through, was covered with something that resembled a curtain and we were unable to see

the insides of the room. I turned towards James and caught him still watching the covered glass wall.

He turned his head to stare at my face after a few seconds and I watched as he puff out a deep breath

before glancing away from me.

“How are you, man?” I asked after a few more moments and watched as James lifted his shoulders

until it brushed against the underside of his ears without saying a thing.

Knowing I was going to have to get to the doctor’s room and speak to him first before I could be able to

get permission to see Aria, I turned around into the part where we had both taken moments ago.

James fell into my side and we both made our way towards the office of the doctor. Janes knocked on

the door once we stopped before it and the doctor answered immediately, inviting us to come in

politely, which we did instantly.

He was on his feet the instant after recognizing me and I shook his offered hand after a little hesitation,

withdrawing my hand back almost immediately after shoving it deep into my pocket once again.

“How is she?” I asked the doctor and watched as he turned around and made his way towards his

table. He pulled out a particular file from the piles of files on his table and spread it out on the top of the

table before flipping through the pages and stopping at a particular one, which he stared at for long

seconds before finally staring back at us and making his way back to us.

“Her brain isn’t in any kind of danger anymore, thankfully. The surgeries we performed on her as well

as the numerous tests which were carried out on her– were all successful and she should come out of

the coma tomorrow or the day after. She did move her finger a little today and that was that.” The

doctor paused and o stared at him with what I knew was undoubtedly hope as I willed him to continue.

“That wasn’t even supposed to happen, giving her issue and the amount of things she had been

through, how weak her body system is, how badly her body organs got affected – it wasn’t expected at

all, for her to move any part of her body today at all, but she did, which once again, proved how strong © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

she is.”

I nodded my head once, feeling my chest expand with some amount of breaths which I had trapped

into my throat unconsciously, and I dragged in a deep breath before allowing it to slowly slide out my

nostrils.

“We’d like to see her.” I said to the doctor about continuing immediately, pointing at James with a

gesture of my head at him before continuing. “We’re going together, he comes with me and we’re going

in, we’re not just seeing her through some glass walls.”

The doctor stared at me for long seconds without saying a thing before starting to speak, his hands

moving around to place emphasis on his words and points he was trying to make. “But Mr Ricci–” The

doctor started to say but I cut him off immediately, my voice coming out low and firm.

Fuck hospital rules.

James might end up falling on his face if he doesn’t get to see Aria today.

I thought to myself as I pursed my lips and waited for him to give his consent before he was going to

have to accompany us there again then he was going to have to also go on there with us, because I

wasn’t ignorant about the fact that Aria was still in a very sensitive and fragile condition.

But we were going to stay long, we also aren’t going to be causing her any harm.

We made our way out of the doctor’s office and started to walk back through the hallway together, with

the doctor taking the lead while James and I fell into step behind him, walking behind him until we all

stopped beside the room where James and I had been to, minutes ago.

“So, we’re all going to go into that room firstly, so you can all get coats and masks before you can be

able to go into the room, i am sorry mr Ricci but this is an important part of our protocol.” The doctor

said to me in argument even before I could start to say a thing and I stared at him pointedly without

saying a thing as I took the green colored coat from him and mask, tearing the nylon wrapper off it and

shrugging into it, tne msterisl clinging on my body and wrapping tightly around my neck.

“This is so damn uncomfortable.” James grumbled beside me as he tugged the material down here in

order for his head to be able to pop out, and I couldn’t agree more, but we were doing this for o my a

few seconds after all, and we’d be out of here and off to deal with a couple of stupid, unfortunate kids.

I started to walk out of the small room first, feelimg James fall into steps behind me.

We heard the doctor’s voice call out behind us and we both stopped at the same time, turning around

to stare at him at the same time.

“What about the hair cap and face masks? Those are the most important parts of this whole thing.” The

doctor pointed out and I stared at the hair cap which was in my left hand, looking at it with so much

displeasure because I knew it was going to undoubtedly mess up the curls I had spent long house

trying to get to look as good as it was currently looking right now.

I turned towards James to see that he had already has his hair cap and face mask in place and I might

have snickered teasingly at his obvious enthusiasm if this was a different situation, but instead, I

tugged the hair cap and knew it was clinging to my hair and hanging out like a shower cap, right before

I tugged on the face mask and was completely ready to go into the room.

I turned back around and moved to the side ad the doctor pulled the door open for James and I to

make our way into the room, right before he entered into the room with is and quietly shut it behind him.
