In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Evelyn in a Coma

Isabella received the news of Evelyn's car accident and coma on the third day after returning from Hawaii. As she stared at the message sent by Pippo, her mind went blank, finding it hard to believe her eyes.

She remembered that after Evelyn and Pippo went abroad for a trip, their communication had been sparse. They exchanged a few messages, but due to Isabella being in a dangerous situation herself, she dared not meet Evelyn. Consequently, they hadn't communicated for quite some time.

Unexpectedly, Evelyn had been in a car accident.

Isabella rushed to the hospital where Evelyn was admitted almost immediately after receiving the news. Seeing Evelyn lying in the hospital bed, covered in tubes and still receiving oxygen, Isabella felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.

Oh God, she had already lost so many loved ones; she couldn't bear to lose Evelyn too.

Pippo stood beside Isabella, his expression filled with sorrow.

"We were just walking on the street when out of nowhere, a car lost control and hit Evelyn, sending her flying. The doctor said Evelyn has severe damage to several internal organs, and we don't know when she'll wake up," Pippo explained with sadness in his voice.

Isabella, looking at Evelyn, pale and lifeless, her body riddled with injuries, felt her heart ache as if it were being mercilessly squeezed.

Although Isabella had seen many people injured in car accidents during her time as a doctor in the hospital, and had even participated in numerous surgeries, watching Evelyn lying on the hospital bed, her life seemingly fading away, made Isabella tremble with sadness. She had to make a considerable effort to stabilize her emotions.

"Evelyn had a serious car accident. She's lying in the hospital, unconscious, on the verge of death. Weren't all those enemies already eliminated? Why did Evelyn encounter such a severe accident?" Isabella, as soon as she left the hospital, called Emanuele and questioned him.

Emanuele was in the middle of a meeting. With Frederick's remaining forces destroyed, only William remained missing. As for Frederick's granddaughter, Madilyn, she had been taken to Canada by Clark and no longer posed a threat.

The main purpose of the meeting was to find William as quickly as possible, and they were also preparing for new projects.

Although they operated as a criminal organization, they needed a legal facade. Emanuele ran companies and invested in various industries not just for profit but also to legitimize their activities and facilitate money laundering.

However, before the meeting could conclude, Emanuele received Isabella's call. Typically, he didn't like answering calls during meetings, but when it came to Isabella, things were different.

Without any hesitation, Emanuele answered Isabella's call. On the other end, Isabella's voice was filled with urgency, anger, and questioning.

She didn't trust him, and at that moment, Emanuele felt a choking sensation in his throat, as if something was trying to swallow him.

"I'm sorry to hear about Evelyn's accident, Isabella. But, this might not be intentional; it could be an accident. I'll have Phillip investigate and get to the bottom of it," Emanuele said, feeling that Isabella needed to calm down.

Isabella was still agitated, "I can't believe it. She was walking down the street, and suddenly a car came out of nowhere and hit her. Isn't this similar to what happened to me before? Only, back then, I was well-protected by Tony and Harry, so I didn't get hurt. Evelyn wasn't as lucky."

Isabella was talking, and suddenly, she felt like crying. It had been a tough time, and she thought Emanuele had taken care of her enemies, believing that her life would be peaceful from now on. However, shortly after returning to Chicago, such an incident occurred.
