Leonardo's P.O.V

The atmosphere in our house changed when Patrizio accepted us. My parents dared to laugh more and were back to their old selves. I was content with the situation. My family deserved to be happy. I had gained more freedom since Patrizio's arrival. My parents would call me three times a day to inquire about my health and safety when we hadn't found Patrizio yet. I was glad that Vittoria wouldn't have to go through the things that I did. She would have the liberty to live her life however she wanted as an adult. I never criticized my parents for feeling anxious about everything. They had lost their child and had the right to be protective. It was finally the weekend. I had quite a busy week and was ready to relax at home.

Many things could go wrong when you have thousands of people working under the same roof. My hospital was currently the best in the country, and I wished to keep it that way. My mother had helped me build my hospital. I loved her very much, so I named it after her. My father had financed my education. He allowed me to study whatever I wanted. I was intelligent like my parents. It was easy for me to become a general surgeon with many subspecialties. I was heartbroken when I found out what Patrizio had to go through to earn a degree. I was proud of my little brother. He had achieved many things without anyone's help. I wouldn't have survived if I was the one who had gotten abducted. I drove straight home after work. My mother was watching the news with Vittoria in the living room. I guess old habits die hard. I smiled when I saw that Vittoria was asleep. My mother stroked Vittoria's head, then uttered, "Vittoria went out with her friends today, Leonardo. She bought a lot of gifts for the triplets with her allowance. Dinner will be ready soon. I'll send someone to get you when it's time to eat."

I placed a kiss on my mother's cheek, then stated, "I've already eaten, mom. I'm tired. I'm going to take a shower, then go to bed." My mother nodded, then responded to me with, "Okay, but I'll still put some food aside for you. You can eat it when you get hungry later." I chatted with my mother for a bit, then went to my room. I took a long relaxing bath. I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow. I woke up startled when my phone rang. I thought that one of the doctors from the hospital was calling me about something urgent, so I instantly picked up. I was surprised when I heard my best friend Carlo say, "I need your help, Leonardo." I looked at my watch, then asked Carlo, "What do you need help with at eleven o'clock at night, Carlo?" Carlo sighed, then replied to me with, "I'm at a street racing event at the moment, Leonardo. Don't worry. It's not illegal. The girl I brought with me had an accident. She's not the kind of girl that I can show off to the world. Can you come here to examine her injury?" I huffed, then answered Carlo with, "I finally have the weekend off, Carlo. I'm not leaving the house for anyone. Take the girl to a hospital. No one will care who you are with at this hour."

I heard a girl cry in the background. I frowned when I heard Carlo say to the girl, "Don't worry, Mackenzie. My friend will take care of your leg. No one will find out about this." Carlo calmed the girl down, then said, "Please, Leonardo. Can't you do this for the sake of our friendship?" I could hear the desperation in Carlo's voice. I sighed then responded to Carlo before cutting off the phone with, "Send me the address of the event, Carlo. I'll call you when I get there." Carlo immediately texted me the information that I required. I instantly sent the details to one of my father's bodyguards.
