The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 282

"We haven't," she finally said. "Though honestly, I only ever became a doctor to make a lot of money."

"Elena," Massimo said seriously, forcing her to look him in the eyes. "You would not be the best damn doctor I've ever seen if you were just in this for the money. That might have been why you started in this profession, but it's not why you're still here."

Elena felt her cheeks begin to flush. She needed to change the topic—she couldn't handle her icy boss paying her so many compliments.

Besides, she needed to get to the heart of the issue.

"But as far as the deal goes," Elena said, "are you planning on taking—"

Luca burst into the dining room. "There's a mafia firefight up in Albany, New York. I haven't gotten a lot of details yet, but it's sounding bad—"

Massimo's expression instantly soured. "That's near the border of the state," he replied.

Elena knew what that meant. This could be Tyler's doing.

"Let's head out," Massimo commanded.

Luca drove Massimo and Elena to warehouse district in Albany. Luca wasn't exaggerated when he said it was bad.

Elena could never have been prepared to see so much blood. People's organs were ripped open from knife and bullet wounds. So many limbs were bent at impossible angles.

And that's just what she could spot from the car window as Luca parked the vehicle.

"It seems like a drug deal gone wrong," Luca explained. As they got closer, he had to yell to be heard over the sounds of all out war. "The fighting spiraled from there."

Elena willed her hands to stop shaking. She took a deep breath, clutched her medical bag, and placed her hand on the car door—

Only to have Massimo's larger hand stop her.

"Stay in the car," he said, voice low and serious. "That's an order, Doctor Vitale."
