CHAPTER 68
When Angelo got to the hospital, he practically ran out of the car into the hospital were Elena was and when he got in, he ran straight to the counter he could find the nurses hovering around, but before he could say anything, one of Don Massimo’s men who had gone with him immediately mentioned Room 35 and he muttered a thank you to the soul while he ran past the counter into the corridors.
He tried so hard not be so sentimental about it but in the end Elena was carrying his child and he would not let anything happen to her or the baby.
When he finally got to Room 35, he barged in without thinking twice and all the doctors turned in his direction wondering what sort of person just badges into a hospital room.
“Elena? Is she here?” He asked at the same time he made his way to the bed and all the doctors gave way for him to pass. It was Elena and she laid there with all those tubes connecting from different parts of her body to a bag of drip or blood.
His heart broke as he turned back and held the nearest doctor by his coat.
“How is she? Is she okay?” He asked with pleading eyes.
“Are you Angelo?” The doctor asked and he nodded affirmatively.
“Oh! Don Massimo mentioned that you would be coming. I’m Doctor…”
” I don’t care about that Doctor, your title is fine with me. Is Elena okay?” He asked again and the doctor sighed and shrugged.
” Well, she is stable now, due to the fact that she was brought in early after being withdrawn from medication in the first hospital. But not for that, the story would’ve been different.” The doctor said and Angelo sighed in relief.
” That’s a huge relieve to me.” He exclaimed with a sigh. “And my baby?”
“I was just about saying that. The baby.. we were late, we couldn’t save it. But, we saved the mother.” The doctor said and Angelo could feel he heart shattering into numerous pieces.
” What does that mean?” He asked in devastation.
” I’m sorry, Mr Angelo. She lost the pregnancy due to complications she barely survived herself.” The doctors explained and Angelo could see his world crumbling.
This was his greatest fear. He did not want this but what could he have done. Angelo stood there while the doctor patted him on his shoulders and walked away. He could feel pain, raw pain seep into him before it turned to anger.
He was furious now, at everyone. Every single person that contributed to snatching his happiness away from him. He walked out of the hospital room just as he had walked in minutes ago. He didn’t even know where his pain and anger were leading him to, but his phone rang in the next minute.
It was Dominic.
“Where the hell have you been, Dominic. I’ve been trying to reach you for ages now, what the hell is wrong with you?” Angelo growled at him.
” I’ve… I’ve dropped … my location for you. You need to come. Just… come.” Dominic breathed over the phone and just like that, the call went off.
Angelo brought his phone down in anger and opened it to find Dominic’s location as a message.
“Let’s go!” He barked at his guards and they all jumped into their cars and sped off. He shared the location to everyone of them and soon enough they all got there.
There was almost no building in the area and there was Dominic badly injured and almost lifeless by the road.
“What the hell went on here?” Angelo barked as he stepped front from the car.
“Thank you for coming. Thank you…”
“What happened? Who did this to you?” Angelo asked again.
“I was ambushed. They beat me up and took everything from me.”
” Who were they? You must’ve seen someone face.” Angelo queried.
” Mario… They should be Mario’s men. I’m sure one of the men I saw was from Mario’s gang.” He muttered in between moans of pain.
“Mario!” Angelo said in a deadly tone and laughed.
“They took Elena. I was trying to save her and get her out, but they already beat me to pulp.” He confessed.
“And Elena?” Angelo asked in mock surprise.
“I funny succeeded in distracting them and Elena got out.” He lied again.
“I see. Help him into the car.” Angelo orders his men and they aided Dominic into the car despite all the pains he kept moaning about and then Angelo took them back to the hospital for him to be treated as well.
Angelo went back to see Elena and was heartbroken at the sight of her. He felt bad she was so vulnerable and even felt worse when he watched her cry days later, after he broke the news of the lost baby to her.
Elena was hospitalized for a while, but after some days, she recovered and was better.
Angelo did not like what had happened within the last few days especially with the accident and their lost child and so he decided that a breath of fresh air would be good for them to recover fully both emotionally and otherwise.
He went to Don Massimo and informed him that he wanted to take Elena out for a while just for relaxation purposes and for a work that suddenly came up that period.
At first, Don was skeptical about it and tried to talk him out of it, but Angelo’s mind was already made up and he refused to be bent against his will no matter what Don Massimo said to convince him.
Even when Eva tried to make him stay back, the business that he had to take care of in New York made his decision solid and after a while, with Don Massimo’s permission and agreement, he finally flew back to New York with Elena to help her relax and calm her nerves as well as recover from the trauma of loosing their baby.
