I walk away from the table to the pool area.
I look at the phone screen, and notice our doctor's number.

Strange! Why did he call me, if I had decided yesterday that he would come to our house today to tell us the results of the tests?

Domenico: Hello Doctor! What happened ? You should have been home by now, as we agreed.

Doctor: I'm sorry, sir! But...

Domenico: But what? Speaks !
Doctor: I don't like at all what I see in Mrs. Torriceli's test results

Domenico: (panicked) What do you mean you don't like it? Speak for God's sake! Speaks!

Doctor: Please calm down, sir!
I think it would be better for Mrs. Torriceli to come to the clinic.
I would like to do more tests

Domenico: (in a trembling voice) In 20 minutes we're at the clinic. Prepare everything you need.

Doctor: Of course sir. I'm waiting for you

Domenico: Goodbye!

Doctor: Goodbye!

Domenico hurried to the table where Laura Olga and the children were

Domenico: Olga, Laura you have 5 minutes to get ready, we have to leave.

Olga & Laura: What ! What happened ? Where are we going?

Domenico: Laura, I just talked to the doctor. He's waiting for us at the hospital

Laura: What hospital? Domenico, I hope you're kidding.
I'm not going anywhere .

Domenico: Laura, the doctor wants to do more tests on you.

Laura: What ? I'm not going anywhere!

Domenico: I'm not kidding, Laura. We go whether you like it or not.

Laura: No way! You can't force me.

Domenico: Maybe not me, but I know someone who can.
Domenico puts the phone on the table and looks for Massimo's number in his contacts.
When he's ready to call him ...

Laura: No, No, please don't
You promised me, you both promised me that if I came back Massimo wouldn't be here.
Oli please

Olga: Domenico calm down and tell us what happened? What did the doctor say?

Domenico: (taking a deep breath) He said that he doesn't like what he sees in Laura's results, and that he is waiting for us at the hospital to do more tests.

Olga: (panicking) What do you mean he doesn't like what he sees?

Domenico: I don't know, Olga! He didn't tell me more

Laura: You two calm down! No need to react like that.

Domenico: Laura, I give you my word that if we don't leave in the next 5 minutes, I'll call Massimo and tell him everything.

Laura: I've never seen Domenico so panicked. From his eyes I realized that he was not kidding, and if I did not agree to go to the hospital, he would call Massimo.

I don't even know why just the thought of calling him made me tremble.
Most likely, Massimo didn't even care about me.

I suddenly feel a hand grab me by the arm and pull me out of my chair, waking me to reality.
Olga: Lari, move! Let's go get our bags. The doctor is waiting for us.

Laura: I couldn't resist. Basically Olga and Domenico forcibly put me in the car.

After making sure that the little ones were in good hands with the nanny and the most reliable bodyguards , we went to the hospital.

At Domenico's orders, the driver drove so fast that it seemed to me that the journey to the hospital lasted only a few seconds.

Once we arrived at the clinic, we were immediately taken to the doctor's office who was waiting for us.

Doctor: Hello! I was waiting for you . Sit down please!

Domenico, Laura, Olga! Hello!

Domenico: Laura I will wait outside for you be able to have an open discussion with the doctor.

Olga: Yah Amore I think is better don't worry I will be here with Lari.

Laura: Thank you Domenico! I really appreciate it

Domenico: No need for thanks. I will be outside if anything happened.

Laura, Olga: Ok alright
