The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 1025

Leilani gently held Dante's hand, her voice soft but firm. "You need to focus on your recovery. When you're back on your feet, we're going to need you full of energy for the wedding."

Dante's eyes lit up. He looked from his deeply concerned grandson to the sincere gaze of his future granddaughter-in-law, and finally caved. "Fine, fine... If it gives you kids peace of mind, I'll go."

He purposely shot Callahan a glare. "If it wasn't for Leilani asking so nicely, I wouldn't subject myself to this!"

Callahan couldn't help but laugh. "Right. I owe it all to Leilani."

Jarvis briskly walked back into the room. "The car is out front, and the hospital is on standby."

On the drive to the hospital, Dante leaned back in his seat and suddenly spoke to Callahan in the front. "You... you deserved a beating for scaring me like that, but bringing home a woman like this makes up for it."

He then beamed at Leilani. "Once I'm discharged, we're diving straight into the wedding plans. It's going to be spectacular!"

Leilani felt her ears burn again, but she smiled warmly. "Your only job right now is getting better. Once you're healthy, we'll do whatever you want."

...

After getting Dante settled into his VIP suite at the hospital and watching the team of specialists begin their battery of tests, Callahan finally let out a long breath. The tight knot in his chest began to loosen.

He turned to Leilani, who was standing by Dante's bed, and lowered his voice. "Stay here with him while they run these tests. I'm going to get my arm looked at. I'll be right back."

The moment he said it, Leilani's eyes zeroed in on his left arm. Fresh blood was seeping through the sleeve of his shirt, blooming into a stark, red stain.
