The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Little Doctor

"Sister Eve..."

Stella’s soft voice from the doorway broke the warm bubble surrounding Evelyn and Oliver.

Both of them turned toward the sound.

Stella stood there, tears in her eyes, trying and failing to hide her emotions. Behind her, Laura hovered close, equally misty-eyed, clutching her hands together as if she were the one recovering from surgery.

"Oh! Aunty Stella... Laura..." Oliver brightened instantly. He twisted around on the bed and waved enthusiastically. "Come here. Hurry... My mommy already woke up!"

He announced it proudly, as if the heart monitor and very much awake Evelyn were not enough proof.

Stella and Laura laughed at the same time, the tension easing as they stepped into the VIP ward.

"Stella, you come..." Evelyn said weakly, attempting to shift her body and sit up straighter.

Before she could move an inch, Stella rushed forward.

"Sis, stay on the bed. Don’t make a move!"

She adjusted the pillows with brisk efficiency, checking Evelyn’s posture like a hawk. Only when she was satisfied did she finally relax.

Evelyn sighed and let herself sink back. "I’m fine. Dr. Stella, no need to act like I’m a cripple..." she said teasingly.

Stella sat on the edge of the bed and shot her a look.

"I know you’re not paralyzed, but you still can’t move normally. You’ve had multiple surgeries. Broken ribs, knee, and shoulder. You’re basically a limited-edition human right now."

"You sound exactly like my doctor," Evelyn teased.

Stella lifted her chin proudly. "That’s because I am a doctor. In a few years, I’ll finish my internship and become a surgeon in this hospital."

Evelyn raised an eyebrow. "So I’m your practice patient?"

"Don’t worry. You survived," Stella replied calmly.

Evelyn can’t help but smile.

"Aunty Stella!" Oliver’s small voice cut through the conversation.

"Yes, dear?" Stella turned to him immediately, her expression melting.

"I want to be a doctor too." He declared.

The room froze.

Stella blinked. "You do?"

"Yes."

"Really?" Stella tilted her head. "Didn’t you say a few days ago you wanted to be an astronaut? And the day before that, a pianist? And last week, a dinosaur?"

"I still like dinosaurs," Oliver admitted seriously. "But I want to be a doctor."

"Why?" Stella asked again.

Evelyn and Laura exchanged surprised glances, both listening quietly.

Oliver turned toward his mother, his small face unusually solemn.

"If I’m a doctor, I can heal Mommy, Daddy, and my siblings when they’re sick. So Mommy won’t have to come to this place, and Mommy won’t feel hurt anymore."

Silence fell over the room.

The words were simple, innocent, and impossibly sincere.

Stella felt her chest warm in happiness. Laura blinked rapidly. Evelyn’s eyes filled with tears she refused to let fall.

"That’s a wonderful reason, Little Oli," Stella said warmly, reaching out to ruffle his hair. "Aunty will be happy to have another doctor in our family."

Evelyn gently squeezed her son’s hand. "You are very kind, sweetheart. Mommy will support whatever dream you choose."

Oliver’s cheeks flushed bright red. "Thank you, Mommy..."

Laura leaned forward, smiling mischievously. "Young master, if I’m sick too, will you heal me?"

"Of course!" Oliver nodded eagerly. "Everyone, including my Cloud and Browny, too..."

"Then thank you, Doctor Oliver," Laura said happily. "And since doctors need energy, would you like some donuts? Jimmy bought a lot. And your favorite too..."

"Really?" Oliver’s eyes lit up like fireworks as he stared toward the living room.
