"What kind of surgery will help her??" Gio said breaking the silence.

"A cardiac ablation basically we'll use catheters to block out the irregular heart signal that's making you sick!! I would have recommended an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator but sometimes they tend to malfunction so cardiac ablation is my best pick!!!" She said calmly as the emotions flew high.

"Isn't it risky??" Gio's aunt said silently.

"Every surgery is risky but I guarantee you there is no other option that can give you a longer healthy life period if it's not surgery!!!" She said calmly.

"So we'll go through the surgery then!!!" Lorenzo said silently and Gio's aunt chuckled lightly.

"quindi ora mi credi... semplicemente perfetto!!" Greta said coldly leaning back to her seat.
( so now you believe me... just perfect )

"come potevo sapere che stavi morendo??" Lorenzo said silently.
( how was I supposed to know you were dying? )

"avresti dovuto fidarti di me fin dall'inizio!!!" Greta said coldly.
( you should have trusted me )

"Basta a tutti e due!! Questo non è il momento di litigare, soprattutto davanti al mio ospite!!" Gio said firmly looking at both of them.
( enough both of you!! This is not the time for the bickering especially not in front of my guest!! )

"My apologize Dr Pierce!!! It's just that this news is just not what we expected!!!" Clarissa said lightly.

"Yeah they expected a confirmation that am faking my condition in order to swindle their money!!! All this because I didn't marry whoever they wanted me to!!!" Greta said mockingly.

"You better watch your tone Greta!!!" Lorenzo said coldly.

"Or what?!!! Am dying anyway right??!" She said angrily.

"Calm down!!! You're going to go to the hospital and you'll have that surgery!!! End of discussion!!!" Gio said darkly and Greta left the room after whispering a thank you to Diana.

"Well I have some errands I need to take care of so if you can excuse me... I'll take my leave!!!" Diana said calmly.

"No please doc stay for Lunch!!" Clarissa said  smiling lightly.

"Next time!!" She said standing up.

"Thank you for everything Doc!! You've really out done yourself saving this family!!" Lorenzo said smiling lightly.

"Just doing my job!!" She said calmly and bid them goodbye.

"I'll drop her off!!!" Gio said getting up and she whistled immediately Sultan ran up to her and they left.

"Am so sorry about my family!!" He said as they walked to the car.

"It's fine!!! Family bickering is everywhere!!" She said calmly and he chuckled lightly.

"My aunt is the daughter of my grandpa from his mistress... That has created friction from the beginning!!"

"I don't think you should be telling me such critical family affairs!!" She said lightly as they stood outside the car.

"Well I trust you!!" He said smiling lightly and she looked into his beautiful eyes.

"Well that's a mistake!!" She said chuckling lightly as he opened the car door for her.

"Why?? Will you break my heart Doctor Pierce??!" He said his Italian accent lightly notable and she smiled getting into the car.

"I think my baby will!!" She said chuckling lightly.

"Well am not one but am sure I can be a good father!!" He said smiling lightly before shutting the door. He made sure Sultan was seated comfortably before getting on the other side of the car. They drove off making a stop for her to buy some dog food and refill some of her shopping necessities.

"Alright now all I need is some good food then you can drop us off!!" She said lightly rubbing her belly.

"So what are you craving at the moment??" He said calmly and she smiled.

"Lasagna, lime juice and spice chicken is all I need!!" She said shutting her eyes smiling and he chuckled lightly before taking her to classy restaurant where she had her meal.

"I'll pay!!!" He said giving the waitress his card.

"I pay my bills!!!" She said calmly taking out her card but he placed his hand over her looking into her eyes.

"I told you!! I'll pay!! Besides consider this as a thank you for your consult on my aunt!!! " He said calmly a sweet smile on his face.

"Next time am paying!!" She said silently putting her card away and he smiled as the waiter returned the card with the receipt.

"So does that mean I can take you out on a proper date??" He said smiling lightly as they left the restaurant.

"Nope!!!" She said calmly as they got into the car and once they were settled the driver drove off.

"I can be a good date you know!!" He said calmly and she chuckled lightly.

"Who said I needed a date??"

"Well I can be a good father!!"

"My baby already has a father!!!"

"Then I can be a good husband!!!" He said not taking his eyes off hers and she laughed lightly.

"Who said I needed one??" She said calmly and he laughed lightly.

"I thought all women want to have a husband!!!" He said laughing lightly.

"Some of us want a stable life with a baby!!!" She said laughing cooly.

"Well I know something I can be!!!" He said silently and she smirked.

"And what is that??" She said calmly looking into his mesmerizing eyes.

"I can be your lover!!!" He said firmly not breaking eye contact at any given point.

"And am sure you're girl nor my baby daddy will be happy with that piece of information!!" She said not breaking eye contact.

"They'll have to deal with it!!!" He said lightly as they pulled over outside her gate.

"Have a good evening Mr De Luca!!" She said smiling lightly as the driver opened the door for her.

"You too Dr Pierce!!!" He said smiling lightly and she stepped out with Sultan. The driver helped her with the bags before returning to the car and driving off.

"Boss, Detective Santos was inside!!!" The driver said silently and that's all it took to ruin his good mood.
