Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Emanuele noticed that Isabella always got hurt when she was with him. Although it was a risk that the Mafia Queen would face, Emanuele still felt very sorry for her.

Why couldn’t he protect Isabella?

Isabella didn’t blame Emanuele. Seeing his guilty look, she tried to smile. “Emanuele, you don’t need to feel so guilty. You’ve done enough to protect me. It’s just that our enemies are very cunning. We never know how they will strike against us.”

Emanuele nodded.

Indeed, he had already eliminated the previous group, but now there were Sicilians. Emanuele thought they were really audacious.

Although Isabella comforted Emanuele and he comforted her, Isabella still felt a mess of emotions. So many people had died, and she was sure some of her familiar medical colleagues were among them, aside from David. There were also some patients who were doing well, striving for Emanuele’s cause. They got injured, came to the hospital for treatment, thinking they would get better, but ended up destroyed by an explosion.

Thinking about this, uncontrollable sobs escaped from Isabella’s lips.

Seeing Isabella quietly crying, Emanuele felt as though his heart was being crushed. The pain spread through him, and he longed to embrace Isabella, to warm her with his embrace. But Isabella seemed as fragile as glass now, and he dared not touch her.

It hurt not to touch her, let alone touch her.

“Isabella, don’t cry. Everything will be fine, okay? You will get better. And I will compensate the families of those who have passed,” Emanuele reassured Isabella.

Seeing Isabella still crying, lying motionless on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks, she didn’t even have the strength to wipe them away.

Thinking about this, Emanuele lowered his head and kissed the tears from Isabella’s cheeks, painstakingly clearing each one.

Until Isabella stopped crying.

“Emanuele, now I understand that being able to live well and die well is actually a blessing.”

“Yes, many people in this world die unexpectedly. Being able to die peacefully is indeed fortunate. So, Isabella, I really hope we can grow old peacefully together. Now, you need to be strong and get well, okay?”

Isabella nodded. “Okay, I will.”

But soon, Isabella realized an embarrassing issue. Because she couldn’t move her body, she had to use a catheter. As she lay there, Emanuele by her side, Isabella felt deeply humiliated.

“Oh God!”

“Can you not stare at me all the time?” Isabella asked.

“It’s okay, darling. No matter what you do, you are still the most beautiful,” Emanuele replied.

Isabella wanted to push Emanuele away, but when she tried to lift her arm, the pain made her involuntarily frown.

It hurt too much! Isabella couldn’t help but gasp.

She never thought it would hurt so much.

Seeing Isabella in pain, Emanuele immediately asked her to put her hand down. “Isabella, we are husband and wife. We have been through so much together. There is no part of your body I haven’t seen or kissed. You really don’t need to be so shy.”

“Shut up, just shut up!” Isabella said immediately. She couldn’t stand Emanuele saying such things.

Although they had done everything intimate, in Isabella’s heart, this was different. This was about excretion, not intimacy. Didn’t Emanuele understand?

But in the end, Isabella had to accept Emanuele’s help to go to the toilet and to help her clean up afterward.

Isabella felt embarrassed and covered her face with the blanket. As long as she didn’t see Emanuele, she could pretend it wasn’t happening.

Seeing Isabella’s shy look, Emanuele felt helpless. In fact, he didn’t mind taking care of Isabella at all. He even felt honored.

When his wife needed him most, he could be by her side, taking care of her. Wasn’t that a man’s responsibility?

After a while, there was a knock on the ward door.

Evelyn’s figure appeared in the ward. Seeing Isabella lying in bed with many bandages and tubes, she couldn’t help but say, “Isabella, are you okay? You scared me!”

After hearing about Isabella’s accident, she had also come to the hospital to see her. At that time, Isabella was still unconscious. Today, upon hearing that Isabella had woken up, she immediately rushed over.

Seeing Isabella looking at her with open eyes, Evelyn couldn’t help but shed tears.

Seeing Evelyn crying, Isabella felt sad, but she tried not to cry.

“Evelyn, why are you crying? Don’t cry. Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’m still alive. You don’t need to worry. Think about it, you were seriously injured before, weren’t you?”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Evelyn thought about her own previous car accident and felt Isabella’s words made sense.

“It’s true, but seeing you lying in bed, I still feel very sad. Let me cry for a moment, I just need to let it out. I can’t hold back my tears.”

Seeing Evelyn crying and explaining, Isabella didn’t feel as sad. She even couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright, go ahead and cry.”

Evelyn sat next to Isabella and cried for a while before wiping her tears. She sat on the chair beside Isabella’s bed.

“Isabella, are you okay? Are you in pain?”

“With such serious injuries, how could I not be in pain?” Isabella laughed.

“Do you want to take some more painkillers?”

“No, I’ve just taken some,” Isabella said.

At this point, Emanuele left the ward, providing Evelyn and Isabella with an opportunity to talk privately.

Seeing Emanuele leave, Evelyn said to Isabella, “How can this happen, Isabella? The world of the Mafia is too dangerous.”

She knew it was very dangerous, but always encountering such hardships, she felt Isabella would die young.

“I know it’s very dangerous, but now that I’m in this world, what else can I do?” Isabella smiled helplessly.

Indeed, there was nothing she could do. Isabella thought this was the only way.

And if she really had to leave Emanuele, she would also feel reluctant. Emanuele was very good, and she wouldn’t find a better man than him.
