Chapter 30

Hope you enjoy!! Surprise update! 💓

                      Angelo's pov

   I knock twice on the guest room door, not that I need to anyways. It's my house after all but I'd rather not se3 something I wouldn't want to. I have been told that Luca is awake so what better time to probe him for answers than now.
     "Come in". I turn the door knob and walk into the bland looking room. The white walls and sheets make the room look like a hospital ward.
   "I'm sorry f-". I put a hand up to interrupt him.

      "I have questions for you and something for you to help me with. Follow me". I know that I seem rude but I have to get him understand that I only mean business.
    I lead him to my lab/room and give him the collated data on Adrianna. Well,  what I have so far. He goes through the papers with a frown etched on his face that deepens with every passing page.
  
    "So you need my help to stop whatever the chemicals are doing in her system". He stares at me and I nod in response.
    "Well, honestly, this is only happening because I had diluted the chemicals. Diluting them meant reducing their power. Although, that worked for her system in the beginning, it has eventually backfired. The power of the chemicals that have mixed into her blood and her heart are losing their power and thus going haywire. It could kill her soon". Fear etches over my features. I take in a deep breath and arrange my thoughts.

    "Is there no solution to keep her alive?  And what of the unborn child?". His eyes widen at my last question.

    "Her pregnancy has just made everything ten times worse. There are only two cards on the table now. One, I recreate the serum and inject her with it during childbirth but risk losing her but the child will survive. Two, spare her of that painful serum and let her lose the kid and run mad until she dies eventually. Both are very bad options but the first one has a greater probability of working out in our favor. Take your pick". My fists clench at his calm face. How can he be so calm while talking about my sister like that.

    "I can't make that decision. It's up to my father and most especially, Adrianna". He nods in understanding.

    "Angelo. I know you are worried about your sister but she is a fighter. She will pull through. I will try my best to save her whatever her choice is. Can I tag along for her next doctor's appointment? I want to monitor the child".
     I don't know what it is but his reassurance calms me down.
   "Okay, you can if she doesn't mind".
We sit down in silence while Luca takes a look at my works while giving me pointers on how to improve them. Before I know it, we are having a full-blown conversation.

  

                      Adrianna's pov

    Lily and I arrived home in less than 2 hours. We would have gotten home sooner but I genuinely started craving ice-cream and had to go get some. I think I bought enough buckets to last a month.

Meh.

    Anyways, after Dante left, Lily rushed over to hug me while I shed tears of relief.
     Arriving home, we walked straight to my room but on the way, I saw Luca and Angelo discussing and toying with some chemicals. For the first time, I let my happiness overlap my curiosity.
    I dropped on my bed beside Lily, who was already in la la land, and thought about how tomorrow would go. Moreover, Rock is returning tomorrow. He has been on leave for some weeks now. I have really missed his stoic face.

                   *         *        *         *           

    A ping wakes me up from my sleep and I turn to look at it. My eyes widen at the time before I even open the shocking message. It's 11:45am! Shit!

Dante: I am going to be there in 20 mins

      I throw the covers off and rush to the bathroom.  I do my morning routine quickly and wear some shorts and a sweat shirt. It seemed like my bumps was increasing daily. I rub my bump for a while before I remember that 10 mins have gone by. I need to tell my family that he is coming over right now. Maybe to soften the blow or something.

     I rush downstairs and thankfully, majority of them are in the living room doing one thing or another.
    I clear my throat drawing their attention to me. They all mutter bunch of "good mornings ","how are you ", "hey princess! " and the likes.
Wasn't really paying attention.

    "Ummm... guys, I need to tell you guys something. It's about my baby". Series of worried questions start filling the room soon enough. I chuckle a little at their reactions.
  
   They relax a little bit once they realize it's nothing serious.
   "Glad to see you laughing at our misery". Emilliano grumbles under his breath.

   "Okay. Here it goes. The father of my child is coming over to pick me up for the appointment and meet you guys. He will be here in a few minutes. Damn! I'm hungry. Where is Luca? " I ask hoping to sidetrack them.

  However, their faces show that they didn't hear anything past the appointment.
"That fucker!!! I'm going to kill him! " Emiliano yells clenching his fists. My other brothers and my father weren't too far off emotionally.

   A knock on the door makes everyone pause. I rush to the door and turn the door knob.

Let the drama begin
