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

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

"Livi," he said softly. Slowly her eyes fluttered open. Her eyes are blurry and she is feeling disoriented. There is a dull ache in her head. Her mouth feels dry and she is feeling weak. She blinked her eyes a few times to clear her eyes. White ceiling and white lights greeted her. "Livi, how are you feeling now?" his concerned voice penetrated her ears. She turned her head to look at the man she was in love with. But her illness proved to be a barrier standing in between them."Alesso?" she croaked. Her throat is feeling itchy and it hurts to even whisper his name.He pulled her into a tight hug, making her forget about everything but him. "Thank god you are fine. Do you know how worried I was? You scared me half to death" he murmured softly. Relief and happiness are evident in his voice.She frowned. She doesn't remember anything after she passed away that night in the Volcov mansion. She doesn't remember coming to the hospital either.'You cannot be saved ' she remembered the con

"She is not eating or drinking anything and has resorted to self-harm. I had to retrain her from hurting herself. But how long are you going to restrain her? If she doesn't eat or drink anything, how is she supposed to heal from her illness?" Kairo asked dramatically flailing his arms.Russell Bianchi is concerned for his granddaughter. He told his grandson that they should move back to Italy as Olivia doesn't have to stay here any longer. He knew it would be difficult to make Olivia understand that Alessandro was not a good man for her. But he did not expect her to hurt herself. In the condition she is in right now, this kind of trauma is not good for her recovery. Russell only thought about how to push Alessandro away from his granddaughter, but he forgot to consider how Olivia would take it. Russell gritted his teeth."Where is Alessandro Volcov? I am sure he is doing all of this. This must be his plan" the old man guessed.Kairo looked taken aback by a split second. But he recove

'He relented ' Alessandro looked at the text Kairo just sent him. He gave a half smile. He doesn't want to defy the old man and risk Olivia's life. That's not the only thing that forced him to plan all this. Going against Russell Bianchi or threatening him would be easier than all of this. But either of those options are not feasible. Both of those options would mean that Olivia would lose her grandfather. A parental figure who truly cares about her and who wants her happy and safe. So Alessandro doesn't want to push Russell away, no matter how annoying and stubborn the old man is. Russell still loves Olivia, which makes him someone important in her life. That is why he is doing this. "Boss, old Mr. Bianchi is here to see you, surprisingly" Czar informed him an hour after Kairo sent him the message. Alessandro's fingers which were flying on the keypad of his laptop paused and he looked at Czar with an amused twinkle in his eyes."What have you done? Why is he here all of a sudden?
