The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 347

Elena glanced in the rearview mirror. Their attackers must have spotted them entering Max's car and started firing the moment the couple thought they were safe. She could only see a few men with guns, maybe three or four—but that was still more attackers than they could handle.

Elena looked at Max. He was fumbling with putting away his phone.

Maybe he didn't have professional reactions to this situation. While he was fast to respond to danger earlier, who checks their phone when they're being chased by killers? No, if there was an expert in this situation, it was Elena—which meant she needed to take responsibility and lead them to safety.

Elena swiftly unbuckled her seat belt. She slid from the passenger's seat and into the driver's seat, keeping low to the windows. She tried to ignore the fact she was sitting in Max's lap.

After all, if he was going to freeze up now, she needed to take control.

"Hold on tight," Elena warned, turning the keys in the ignition. "I know a safe place we can stay."

With a shift of the gears, Elena drove the car speedily away from the greenhouse and their attackers.

Part of Elena's job orientation, way back when she had first started as the family's doctor, included safety precautions. Luca had given her a map of the city with a handful of locations circled—safe house, he had explained.

"They're private, inconspicuous places for you to hide away if you're ever in danger—no criminal or government agent should be able to find you, as these buildings weren't bought under the Ferraro name. Of course, the Ferraro family has more than just these place," Luca had said, "but it would defeat the purpose of a safe house if too many people know the location. Memorize these addresses within the week—then burn the map."

Elena had thought such measures too drastic back then. But today, she was extremely grateful she had taken those instructions so seriously.

It was easy for Elena to recall the nearest address—a dingy apartment building a fifteen minute drive away. The apartment complex looked ancient and not well maintained. The brick walls were chipped and covered in dirt and the windows were equally covered in streaks of ash and mud.

No one would expect the Mafia Queen to hide herself here.

"This is it," Elena said as she turned off the car's engine. "This building right here."
