"What about him?" Alessandro asked with confusion.A spark of Hope flared in his heart. No doubt the doctor Kairo mentioned is the best doctor of Ivan's generation. If Russell Bianchi could treat Livi, then there would still be hope for Livi. He would know how to treat cases like these. But now, no one knows where he is, and even if he is alive or not. "He is my..." Kairo paused and looked meaningfully at Olivia."He is our maternal grandfather. Russell Bianchi used to love me and mom very much. When Mom became a drug addict to the point where she used to forget to even feed me, he was the person who helped her recover from that mess. But after Mom disappeared, he couldn't stay with us anymore. So he disappeared too" Kairo shared. This happened when he was around ten or eleven years old.Alessandro is surprised, while Livi is happy to learn about another person who could have been a good grandparent in her life."Kairo, why are we talking about him now? I am amazed to learn that the
The word on the streets in every country spread like wildfire, that both the Italian and Russian mafia were searching for a doctor named, Russell Bianchi. Doctor Russell's picture has been wired to everyone using the internet. A gift prize of a million dollars has been announced to the person who shares the details of the missing doctor. Everyone is searching for Russell Bianchi. But no one could track him. Kairo is searching like a madman for his grandfather. He is not eating or drinking anything. His only aim is to find that old man to save his sister's life.In Chicago, Olivia's condition deteriorated as the days passed by. One day after Kairo left, Olivia's headaches and dizziness intensified. The pain pills prescribed by the world-renowned doctors made her sleep all day. The brains of so many experienced and best doctors in the world couldn't find a solution to extend Olivia's life. Alessandro tried everything he could, but nothing and no one could help Olivia."We are extremely
Somewhere in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, an old man who is in his late seventies is picking some kind of orange leaves that look juicy like an aloe vera plant. But unlike the aloe vera plant, these leaves are round and small. "Doctor, what are these leaves for? This area is dense and slippery. It is said that poisonous snakes reside in this area. And there is no cure for the poison of these snakes" the tribal man who accompanied this old but fit-looking man said. The tribal man is looking around them with his keen eyesight to detect trouble.The old man is none other than Russell Bianchi."Shaino, do you remember that I treated a foreign man a few months ago and he was healed completely?" Russell asked his educated young companion who is also his student who was learning medical skills from the old but very experienced doctor.Shaino remembers that day as if it had happened just a few days ago. But that incident took place more than six months ago. A group of foreign tourists ve
"Hey Jackson, how are you doing?" Kyle asked one of his associates. As Kyle is a star quarterback at Chicago University, he has often been interviewed by TV reporters and scouts are interested in hiring him for their team. He met Jackson in one such interview. Kyle liked Jackson's laid-back personality and how he never tried to trick Kyle into answering tricky and inappropriate questions. "Mr. Kyle Carter. What a pleasant surprise. To what do I owe this kind of a surprise from the future sports superstar" Jackson asked good-naturedly.Kyle chuckled with mirth. "I need a small favor from you," he said and pulled out Russell Bianchi's picture from the brown-colored envelope he was carrying. As Olivia's condition started deteriorating, everyone was hunting for Russell Bianchi. Matteo and Hera came back from their honeymoon abruptly. Nero and Chloe came back to Chicago to support Alessandro in this difficult time. Even Reed and Mia came to offer their support. Everyone is searching for
In Chicago, the day after Olivia was admitted to the hospital, the moonlight seeped through the curtains, basking in the dimly lit hospital room with its soft glow. "Why is she not waking up? It's been more than twenty-four hours since she last opened her eyes for a few minutes. Now, nothing. She is not even responding when I call her name" Alessandro asked the doctor with worry and fear for Olivia. The doctors looked at each other with hesitation."Mr. Volcov, her pulse is dropping rapidly. She has only twenty-four hours left. After that, her organs will fail to function and then she will slip into a coma. If that happens, no one can save her. Our medicines can keep her breathing for only one day. We are extremely sorry Mr. Volcov" They apologized sincerely. Alessandro collapsed on the chair beside the bed.Czar led the doctors out of the room to give his boss some privacy. 'Kairo, please come fast' Alessandro thought in his head. He looked at Olivia, who lost a lot of weight in
"I thought your mom died when your father poisoned her. So I ran away and started living here since then" Russell confessed.Kairo shook his head."I used to think the same. But I didn't know that she was poisoned by my dad. If I would have known it when he was still alive, then I would have killed him with my bare hands. But I recently found out what happened back then. Mom survived the poisoning and gave birth to a girl. I have a sister. Her name is Olivia" he shared with so much love and warmth.Russell is extremely happy to learn that he has a granddaughter and his own daughter survived."Really? Where is your mom? Where is your sister? Does your father know that they survived? How are they now?" he asked anxiously. He knows how cruel his son-in-law is. If his son-in-law found out that his wife escaped, then he would have hunted them down mercilessly. Kairo gritted his teeth. He knows how his father would have reacted if he found out about his mother and Olivia. Even though he di
In one of Chicago's finest hospitals, Russell is looking at his granddaughter with mixed emotions. All the doctors and nurses left the room. It has been one hour since he administered his own anti-clot medicine to his granddaughter. Her vitals improved and her pulse picked up. He removed her off of the ventilator machine and pulled the several tubes and machines that the doctors stuck to her body. She is now only on IV. To him, he is seeing his own daughter in Olivia's place. There was a time in his daughter's life when he had to treat her to pull her out of her drug addiction. He thought that was the most painful moment of his life. But how wrong was he? He had to see so much worse and here he is, standing in the same crossroads at which he once stood with his daughter. His one decision to let his daughter marry an undeserving man led her to her death. Now, he will not let the same thing happen to his granddaughter again."Grandfather? What is happening to her? Is the medicine worki
"I cannot believe he just did that. What are we going to do now?" Kairo is tensed and worried. He never thought that his grandfather whom he was really happy to find again would behave this way. Kairo can understand where his grandfather's anger is coming from. It is coming from a part of his heart that still loves his daughter too much. The fact that Livi looks exactly like his daughter makes him even more protective of her.On the other hand, Unlike Kairo, Alessandro is calm. He is relaxed and looking fondly at Livi. He is happy that she will be fine now. He is not bothered about Russell or his threat. He is eagerly waiting for Livi to open her eyes and talk to him. She is still looking pale, but she is breathing on her own now, which eases the tension off of him. When Kairo noticed that Alessandro was not at all listening to him, he was confused."Alessandro? Are you even listening to me?" he asked with a confused frown.Alessandro gently touched Livi's cheek with his fingers."Y
