The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 326

Elena didn't say another word. She just stormed out of the bedroom. Since the day's hunting competition was about to start, it wouldn't even look that odd for the Mafia Queen to be seen without the Mafia King.

The Mafia Queen—oh, how Elena hated that title right now! She couldn't stand the mafia and its old traditions, its casual cruelty, its willingness to cause violence and hurt and harm to others.

If Elena hadn't accepted this pretend title, would she still have clean, innocent hands? If she had never grown up in the mafia, would she have never killed that little wolf cub's mother?

Elena was startled from her thoughts by her phone buzzing. Max had texted her.

"Sorry for the late reply," he said. "Do you still want to talk about it?"

Elena took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Maybe," she replied. "Though I'm not sure where to begin."

"It sounds like something about the mafia is bothering you a lot," Max stated. "So maybe start there?"

Elena thought about what exactly was troubling her. It was an issue that had been bothering her for quite some time—she had just never slowed down and thought about or tried to put it into words.

"I think I've realized that it's impossible to be a good doctor and be part of the mafia," Elena confessed. "There's just too much of a culture difference."

"How so?" Max pressed. "What specifically?"

"I mean, I'm supposed to be saving lives, but my boss is teaching me how to shoot a gun and now I've killed a wolf," Elena clumsily explained in a hurry. "I can't dedicate myself to helping people and then go around causing harm to everyone like the mafia wants! That's the big problem—the mafia world is inherently dangerous and cruel."

"The mafia world is all about death and destruction," Elena continued, "which is the exact opposite of being a doctor. And if I have to choose between the two, it's an easy choice—I'm a doctor. So I feel like there's just no place for me in the mafia—there may never truly have been room for someone like me at all."

"That's a lot to come to terms with," Max texted back simply. "No wonder you're upset."

Another minute passed before Elena's phone buzzed again. "I have to go soon," Max said, "but do you have a plan to get through the rest of your work trip?"
