"Oh, fuck!" Alexander cursed, holding his head in his hands. "The doctor told her everything?" he repeated Matteo's words, his voice tinged with panic.

Matteo nodded, his expression filled with concern. "Yes, and she's not even talking to me now. But before she shut down, she let me have it-and probably gave me an earful on your behalf too," Matteo murmured in a hushed tone, making sure Mia couldn't overhear. "I'm doomed," Alexander sighed, his face growing pale as the weight of the situation sank in.

"Go and talk to her." Matteo urged the Duke.

The Duke hesitated, uncertainty clouding his expression. "She's your sister. She won't hurt you, I promise." Matteo taunted with a chuckle.

"Be quiet, the Duke scowled, taking a deep breath before heading toward his sister. He found her seated on a bench outside the ICU room. "Mia, look! I.." Alexander began, but Mia raised a hand, her eyes blazing with hurt and anger as she fixed her gaze on her older brother.

Don't say a word!" she warned, each syllable sharp and deliberate.

"Please, petite sceur!" Alexander pleaded carnestly. "Give me a chance to explain."

"What is there to explain?" Mia snapped, her voice trembling with disbelief as her eyes glistened with the sting of betrayal. "You hid the most crucial information about my husband's health. How could you do this to me?"

Alexander's heart ached at the sight of his sister in such pain. He stepped closer and knelt before her to meet her gaze directly.

"I admit I kept it from you, Mia, and I did it intentionally because I wanted to shield you from the stress and pain," Alexander explained, despite knowing his sister was reluctant to hear him out.

Mia shook her head, unwilling to be convinced by Alexander's explanation.

"I'm hurt, Alexander. Of all people, I expected you to be honest with me. And what was there to hide? I eventually found out, didn't I?" she mumbled, her lips trembling as she lifted her tear-filled eyes to her brother.

Alexander's heart ached at the sight of the pain and hurt in his sister's eyes. That was why he had kept the truth from her; he couldn't bear to tell her that her husband was dying.

"I'm sorry, petite sccur, Alexander said with a stern yet earnest expression. "I truly care for you, and I will always do everything I can to protect you." His sincerity made Mia's heart soften just a little.

She sighed deeply. "I'm only worried about Alessandro's safety," she said, troubled by the fact that they still hadn't identified who sent the assassins after her husband.

"Don't worry," Alexander reassured her as he stood and then sat beside her. "I've increased the security measures significantly. No one will be allowed into his room without undergoing a thorough security check, whether they're a doctor or a nurse.

Alexander knew that the mafia king had many enemies, but he had underestimated the severity of the threat to his life while Alessandro was comatose, assuming he would be of no harm to anyone in his current state. Alexander was also conducting his own investigation, hoping to uncover a lead soon. The person with such deep-seated animosity toward the Italian don could also pose a threat to the Duke's sister and her children.

"Mia, I'll stay here. You go home. You're not well and need to rest," Alexander insisted.

Mia turned to face Alexander, her expression softening as she replied, "I can't leave Alessandro alone. I'll stay here with him until he wakes up, her voice resolute. "Mia, don't be stubborn. Listen to me..." Alexander tried to persuade her, but Mia shook her head.

"No, I won't go home. Please, Alexander, don't press me on this she said firmly.

Alexander watched Mia intently, reading the resolve etched on her face. No matter how hard he tried, it was clear that her determination was unwavering. Her love for her husband took precedence over her own health and comfort. Recognizing this, Alexander decided not to press the issue further. Instead, he resolved to stay with her, ensuring her well-being and comfort as she remained by Alessandro's side.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"Alright, alright! I won't force you to leave. Stay if you want to be with your husband, Alexander said with a smile, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

Mia leaned into her brother, resting her head on his shoulder as she sought-comfort from him. Alexander gently kissed her head and sighed. "You must be tired. Let's go to the waiting lounge and have some coffee. There's a more comfortable couch where you can even catch a bit of sleep," he suggested.

"I won't move from here," Mia insisted stubbornly.

"Mia, I promised not to force you to go home, but I can't let you risk your health. You need to rest. Don't worry; I'll be here. After a short nap, you can come back, and the doctors will also check on Alessandro, giving us a clearer report," Alexander said firmly.

Mia reluctantly nodded, understanding that there was no room for negotiation. She rose from her seat, and Alexander nodded to Matteo, who stepped forward to lead Mia to the waiting lounge.

"This way, Aria," Matteo said, guiding her towards the elevator.

As they exited the elevator on the ground floor and headed toward the waiting lounge, a sudden figure caused Mia and Matteo to stop in their tracks.

"Mia Peterson?! Is that you?!" Maria's voice was filled with shock and frustration, making Mia and Matteo exchange uncertain glances.

Maria was supposed to be in Floren
