It's hard to keep track of how many times Noah paced back and forth while waiting for news from the doctor who was busy attending to Anna Maria. Upon learning that his younger sibling had been shot, he paid no attention to his surroundings and immediately rushed her to the hospital in Palermo. He handed her over to the medical team for intensive treatment as soon as possible.
Giorgino was no different, anxiety evident on his middle-aged face. Just as he had reunited with his daughter, he was confronted with the reality that his youngest child had fallen victim to the cruelty of the Sicilian mafia.
If you counted, it had been over two hours that the father and son had been waiting outside the operating room. Before long, a female doctor emerged and provided an update on Anna Maria's current condition.
"How is my sister, Doctor? Is her wound very serious? Can she be saved?" Noah bombarded with numerous questions. Meanwhile
Laura, Kenzi, and Edward appeared visibly anxious. They were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the medical team bringing Kaivan from Italy to finally arrive at Santa Maria Hospital in London. In an unconscious state, the man was immediately taken to the operating room for treatment.Hans, who accompanied Kaivan from Palermo to London, went straight to Kaivan's family. The combination of exhaustion and worry was evident on his face. Fear enveloped him, concerned that the eldest son of the Maximilian family might not survive given the seriousness of his injuries."Hans..." Kenzi greeted. The man's face was tense. "What really happened? How did Kaivan end up in this condition?" he asked, confused. They were all gathered in front of the operating room.Honestly, Kenzi's family and Kaivan's other friends had no idea what was actually happening to Kaivan. Out of nowhere, he was suddenly reported to be in critical condition and i
Overall, Anne has been in the hospital for a week now. The woman has even moved from the ICU to a VIP care room. All the medical equipment that was originally attached to her body has been removed one by one. Anne is even free to sit and lie down on her own without assistance from anyone.Today, it's Julie's turn to keep Anne company. Meanwhile, Noah himself, the man, appears to be busy discussing with the doctor who has been taking care of his sister.Although they hadn't known each other before, Julie and Anne seem familiar with each other. They often engage in light conversations and even serious discussions."I thought you and Noah had been working together for a long time. I just didn't expect you to be willing to even tolerate working with him."Julie smiled. She understood Anne's meaning well. While continuing to peel the apple in her hand, she responded, "I've only gotten to know him recently
"So, can I go home now?"Kenzi nodded, confirming his sibling's question. After approximately 17 days of intensive treatment at the hospital, today the doctor allowed Kaivan to return home. That's why, before heading to work, both Kenzi and Edward took the time to pick up Kaivan from the hospital.Looking at his condition, Kaivan was currently much improved. You could say he was back to his normal self. However, he was still advised not to engage in heavy work or anything that would strain his energy."I'll give you a ride. Now you just need to decide, whether you want to go home or to the hotel like before?" Kenzi asked to make sure.The question had its reasons. Who knows, since his wife wasn't in London, Kaivan might want to spend his time resting at home. Considering that before Anne came into his life, he used to spend more time at home. Recently, he had been spending time in the hotel.&
Kaivan blinked his eyes. Gathering all the awareness he had, the man slowly sat up and leaned his shoulder against the headboard of the bed. Last night, after taking his medicine, he had fallen into a deep sleep. Even though his condition had improved significantly, the doctor still advised Kaivan to continue taking the medication for the next few weeks.Glancing at the clock on the nightstand, which showed seven o'clock, Kaivan gradually slid down from the bed. Today, he had planned to start working again as usual. He also felt it was boring to spend too much time in bed.After cleaning up, Kaivan quickly put on work clothes. However, in the midst of his preparations, his sense of smell unintentionally caught the aroma of a tempting meal. Kaivan thought that Meggy had probably just finished preparing breakfast for him.Casually walking to the dining room, his eyes caught the presence of someone very familiar. Wearing a
Giorgino and Noah welcome Kaivan and Anne as they visit the MI6 headquarters at Vauxhall Cross. This morning, the guys had a schedule for an interrogation regarding the Luca case.As witnesses and victims, of course, the MI6 wants to hear directly about the violence Kaivan experienced when dealing with Luca. They hope that after his testimony, it could add to the list of demands against that middle-aged guy to get him punished."Great to see you again, Kaivan," Giorgino greets. "I'm really sorry about the mishap that happened to you the other day. I hope you're in much better shape now."Kaivan smiles and nods politely. The four of them are now standing together in a corner of the building."I'm also glad to be able to meet you again...""You can call me Dad or Papa," Giorgino interrupts. "Whichever makes you comfortable.""Okay, Dad. My condition now is much better than before. Besides, this is noth
When Kaivan woke up, it was already midday. This was evident from the abundance of sunlight that managed to pierce through the large curtains covering the bedroom window.Turning slightly, he found his wife still deeply asleep in his embrace, her arm serving as a pillow. One side of her face rested against Kaivan's broad chest.Seeing Anne in such a peaceful state made Kaivan unconsciously smile. Gazing at his wife's beautiful face without blinking, he remained fixed on her for quite a while. Almost as if enchanted or perhaps hypnotized. Whatever it was, Kaivan felt that this was a new activity he must repeat every day. Yes, admiring Anne's lovely face while she was still asleep seemed like a delightful pastime.Satisfied with gazing at his wife's face, Kaivan gently kissed her forehead and then her cheek in turn. This action caused the woman beside him to stir. She formed a faint smile, her eyes not fully open yet.
Edward has just parked the sports car he was driving in the parking lot of the Four Seasons Hotel. As he promised earlier this afternoon, he will be showing Kaivan some of the new weapon collections he recently purchased tonight.As shooting enthusiasts, the two of them share a common interest in selecting and collecting various types of firearms. They often consult each other or hunt together to find the desired items."Mike..." Edward greeted as he entered the hotel lobby. "Is Kaivan in his room?"Mike, who had just finished his work at the time, walked over. Approaching Edward, who was standing not far from the reception desk."Mr. Kaivan left a while ago with his wife. They are attending a birthday party," he said.Edward nodded. It was his mistake not to contact Kaivan before coming over."Have they been gone for long?""Quite a while, about two hours ago. They might be back
After calling hotel security and reporting tonight's incident to the authorities, Kaivan, Anne, and Edward hurriedly left the hotel. They handed over the assault case to Hans for immediate follow-up.Kaivan kept expressing his gratitude to Edward. Thanks to his friend, he was able to locate and save his wife from danger.It turns out that Edward's suspicions were indeed true. Because of this uneasy feeling, he had decided to visit Kaivan repeatedly over the past few days to ensure his friend's well-being."I owe you my life, Ed," Kaivan said when the three of them were at the Four Seasons Hotel. They were sitting in the lobby, waiting for Mike to bring drinks. Meanwhile, Anne focused on cleaning the scrapes on her husband's hands and arms."It's okay. Isn't that what a friend is supposed to do?" Edward replied.Kaivan nodded."Of course. Now, I've even realized that you're
