Having finished the beautiful family picture, Cristian added, "My wife was seriously injured this time, I am not willing to pretend anything."
Francesco Rossi at these words was even angrier. What about him then? His wife was in the emergency room, and still nothing was known about her condition!
Just then the emergency room doors opened and a doctor came out. "Who are Geneva's relatives?"
No one answered.
"No relatives of Ginevra Cassano?" demanded the doctor, wrinkling his forehead.
Francis suddenly recovered and stepped forward, "Doctor, I am Ginevra's husband."
"Sir, your wife has a severe hemorrhage and there is a need to deliver the baby early. Please put a signature on the consent sheet for the operation."
Francis at these words opened his eyes wide, "Deliver him early? But...won't that be dangerous for the health of the baby?"
"Sir, at the moment we don't even know if there might be complications during delivery. In any case, we will do everything we can. Please sign the paper, there is not a minute to lose."
Francis then, with both hands trembling, took out a pen and signed the paper.
Then, suddenly, he added in a heavy tone, "Doctor, if I may...I have a prayer for you!"
"Tell me," replied the doctor, squaring him quickly with his gaze.
Francis took his head in his hands, as if he was about to make an important decision, "If there is danger for both of you, I hope that...you can think of the baby first!"
The doctor was speechless, as was Serena, who opened her eyes wide, as if she could not believe what she had just heard.
Francesco Rossi had...prayed to save mainly the baby. What about the child's mother? Did he not need the mother anymore?
Serena now, seeing the man with whom she had spent two years of her life, suddenly felt her blood chill. In two years she had never understood this man, of how he was philandering, lacking in feelings and morals, and how...he was perverse.
Suddenly Serena began to feel sorry for Guinevere: based on what she was saying in fact, Guinevere was probably just another poor girl who had been teased by him. Instead, the source of all evil was Francis.
Unable to contain herself, Serena lashed out at him, "Francesco, what kind of person are you?"
Francis then, turned around throwing her a look, "Mind your own business. Are you still pretending that this Geneva thing in the emergency room has nothing to do with you?"
"You think you know better than me why she came looking for me?" replied Serena with a bitter smile.
At these words Francis immediately felt guilty, withdrew his neck a little and then, turning to the doctor, said, "Doctor, please do as I told you."
The doctor unexpectedly refused, however: "Sir, our hospital has ethics. In case of danger to the mother and baby, we always give priority to the mother."
"What?" asked Francis frowning, "What does that mean? What does ethics mean? This is our right, what does it have to do with you?"
The doctor, however, tired of answering him, turned and quickly entered the operating room, closing the door behind him. Francis would have liked to enter with him, but a nurse promptly intervened, "Excuse me sir, we are in an emergency room, please keep the noise down."
Francis, increasingly angry, shouted pointing to the operating room, "What do you mean you tacitly give priority to the mother and not the son? I want to give priority to my son, do you hear? What do I do with the mother? I want to safeguard my son, my heir!"
The nurse faced with a chauvinist like him, she wanted to punch him directly, but her high professionalism restrained her, but she still could not restrain herself from commenting piercingly, "Are you by any chance heirs of any royal house?"
"What are you saying?" asked Francis astonished.
