In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169: When Are You Having Children

Exiting the hospital, Isabella glanced at Emanuele. "Why did you suddenly decide to come today?"

"You said she woke up. She's your friend, and I should come to visit her. Besides, she hasn't met me before."

Isabella found Emanuele's reasoning reasonable. She held his hand. "Emanuele, thank you. Regardless of what's between us, I appreciate your care and attention."

"You've thanked me several times already, Isabella. You don't need to keep saying thank you. I'm your husband, and it's my duty." Emanuele added, "I'll ensure the best medical team handles Evelyn's treatment. Don't worry; everything will be fine."

Isabella nodded, expressing her gratitude through a hug. Unable to find the right words, she could only show Emanuele her appreciation through actions.

Thinking about Evelyn's injuries, Isabella wondered if she was in pain. After such a severe car accident, days in a coma, and the risk of hearing loss, Isabella found solace in the fact that Evelyn had lost the memory of the crash, sparing her from reliving the traumatic scene.

Over the next few days, Isabella continued to accompany Evelyn, visiting the hospital daily and discussing Evelyn's condition with Pippo. The two of them became closer friends.

Isabella could see that Pippo was genuinely worried about Evelyn. She used to find their relationship a bit strange, but now she thought Pippo might have feelings for Evelyn.

"Isabella, I'm truly sorry. As Evelyn's boyfriend, I failed to protect her, and she had to endure such hardship," Pippo said, his face revealing pain. "If I had reacted faster, pulled her closer, maybe Evelyn would be fine now."

"It's not your fault. No one could have predicted such a sudden situation, Pippo. Don't blame yourself."

Sighing, Pippo looked visibly distressed. Isabella didn't know how to comfort him.

"At least Evelyn seems to be doing well now."

Watching Evelyn gradually improve, Isabella felt relieved. Evelyn also asked about recent events.

Isabella selectively shared some details with Evelyn. She didn't dare to mention her mother's passing or anything related to death, fearing it would sadden Evelyn.

"I don't remember what happened in the past few weeks. I saw your messages and replied, but it's strange. I can't recall what happened during that time," Evelyn said.

"If you remember, I'd really like to ask why your tone was so peculiar back then," Isabella remarked, recalling Evelyn's messages that made her think Evelyn's phone had been stolen.

"I find it strange too, but I can't remember for now. Let's wait until I fully recover and remember the past," Evelyn replied.

"Alright. However, Evelyn, Pippo has been taking care of you tirelessly during this time. I used to think you two weren't quite suitable, but now I think you can marry him."

She had never seen a man take care of his girlfriend like this. Despite being a doctor with a presumably busy schedule, he took a long leave just to stay with Evelyn every day in the hospital. He felt particularly guilty, blaming himself for not protecting her well enough to prevent her injuries.

"Marriage? I think we need some time to get to know each other before considering marriage," Evelyn said. "But, I'm getting along well with Pippo now. He takes good care of me, especially when we went on a trip."
