Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel 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 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.
