“What do you imply?” I breathed out, scared that somebody had taken my mom.

Alexei didn’t reply and turned his gaze to Damiano. I turned to face Damiano, who was Alexei with a agency expression.

“Damiano, what’s he speaking about?” I requested. He saved his gaze mounted on Alexei earlier than lastly shifting his eyes in direction of me.

“Your mom is alive.”

100 nineteen

Damiano

Althaia was in shock.

She was so shocked that her physique gave out, collapsing to the bottom. I gritted my enamel as I shoved my ache apart, grabbing her and pulling her to me.

I didn’t give two shits about Alexei at this second; my solely concern was her. She seemed numb, misplaced, as she tried to understand what I had simply mentioned. For as soon as, Alexei remained silent, and his males stood by as he noticed Althaia.

His daughter.

He hadn’t expressed his ideas on the state of affairs, about discovering he had a daughter. Nonetheless, he seethed with anger towards her mom for conserving their little one a secret.

For twenty-five years, he had lived oblivious to the truth that he had a toddler on the earth. To compound his frustration, his daughter believed Gaetano was her father; an Italian man who had married her mom.

“Come on, breathe, Althaia… there you go… breathe.” She gasped for air, and I felt her complete physique shaking in opposition to mine. Regardless of my very own battle to face as a result of ache, I held her tightly, understanding it wouldn’t be lengthy earlier than I misplaced consciousness once more.

“Oh, rattling it. Get her a physician and have a tendency to your self. You’re ineffective to me for those who’re useless.” Alexei sighed, even rolling his eyes in exasperation.

“Should you pull some dumb shit, Vasiliev, you already know what the implications shall be.” I warned him.

“You’re in no place to make any threats to me.”

“Does it appear like I give a fuck? Fuck up, and the blood is in your palms.” That was my last warning to him earlier than we rushed to the automobile.

Within the automobile, I used to be slipping out and in of consciousness. My coronary heart raced sooner than ever, and I might really feel the blood dripping down from my abdomen. Althaia was beside me, making an attempt to maintain me awake by speaking and tapping my cheek.

For half of the trip to the hospital, I couldn’t hear what she was saying; her voice sounded distant, as if she had been distant.

I opened my eyes, seeing every part blur previous me.

“…Surgical procedure instantly!”

“Assist him, please.” Althaia’s voice sounded out, inflicting me to frown on the sound of her crying.

“Don’t cry, my love.”

I felt her lips on mine; tender, gentle, and feathery, making my coronary heart one way or the other beat even sooner, spreading heat inside me.

Like a hearth, conserving me alive.

“I really like you.” She whispered, however I heard it loud and clear.

“And I really like you, piccola.”

Immediately, the world was swallowed by darkness.

I rested within the restoration room, listening to Antonio as he supplied an in depth report. The surgeons needed to work swiftly on me, contemplating I had pushed my physique past its limits, and it practically price me my life.

“Every little thing is evident, and persons are receiving remedy.” Antonio reported, and I nodded.
