Chapter 78
Waylen rush inside his father’s room just the moment the doctor was walking out. He stops him and they both step out of the room together.
“What happened to him?” He asked the doctor holding his hand.
“Don’t worry Mr Waylen… He’ll be fine, he just need to have lot of rest and please be rest assured that he’ll make a quick recovery” He explained to him and Waylen nods.
“Let me see you off” Waylen offered but the doctor turned him down.
“Don’t worry. You can just go in” Smiling at him, the doctor walk away.
Waylen stood outside the door and sigh, putting his hand inside his pocket.
He turned and walk away. He sat down on the couch in the sitting room and just stare at nothing.
He doesn’t know if he should go in and talk to him, This is the first time his father have blank out over nothing.
Waylen bring out a cigarette box from his pocket and pick out one then lights it.
He sat on the couch and smoke until the cigarette stick burns out. He stood up and walk back upstairs to his father’s room.
He opened the door and walk in , Waylen look at the door when he heard it open and then he saw Waylen.
“Why did you come? I’m okay and you don’t have to come all the way over here. Ain’t you handling some things?” He asked him.
Waylen didn’t respond as he just walk and sit down on the chair beside the bed.
John Gotti sat up from the bed and just lean his back on the wall.
“I was told you collapsed… Why wouldn’t I come over? How’re you feeling now?”Waylen ask him.
“Get me some water to drink. Go on!” John said and look away from his son.
Waylen just look at him and sigh standing up, he take the water flask on the table and walk out of the room.
He returned minute later and drop it for him then pour him a glass and watch him drink it before he takes the glass away from him and drop it on the table.
“How’re you feeling?” Waylen ask again.
“I told you I’m fine! Ain’t you working on something? Why do you have to come over!” John Gotti said to him and Waylen roll his eyes.
“Stop being annoying old man. Hey! Why don’t you call your wife or daughter to come back and take care of you?” Waylen asked him.
John glared at him. “Watch your tongue. Who says I’m old? I can’t die before my brother ”
“Is that what you worry about? Who dies first… Hey! Shouldn’t you just retire and take a rest? You’ve three sons already and two is taking care of your business while the other is handling his own? Don’t you think it’s time you just retire?” Waylen told him and John hit him in anger.
Waylen wince. “Don’t hit me!”
“You really want me to retire? Do you think you and Rowan can handle everything?”
“Why can’t we? Hey! Don’t tell me you’re looking down at us again” Waylen said pointing his finger at him.
“Geez, stop it Waylen. That’s not it! Alright… I’ll retire soon but not yet”
“When?”
“Why are you so desperate like you’re trying to get rid of me or something… ” John said.
Waylen look at him for a while and then sigh before looking away.
“I see you’re fine now. I’ll assign the maids to come take care of you” he said.
“Don’t go yet! Let’s talk for a while….” John said, stopping him from standing up and leaving the room.
Waylen nods and sit back down. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Waylen…” John calls out slowly and he just look at him.
“What… I’m here! Are you blind too?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Stop being a brat man!” John said and Waylen just smile.
“Remember Joe Profaci?” He asked and Waylen nods.
“The Italian Mafia gang leader? He’s a retired Mafia boss” Waylen said and John Gotti nods.
He didn’t say another word and Waylen just look at him.
“Why? What’s wrong… I heard he have retired years ago and no one to take after him because he have no heir” Waylen said.
“Well… That’s the say! Joe Profaci have a daughter” John tells him.
Waylen raised her eyes and look at his father in shock.
It’s unbelievable…
Joe Profaci can not have a daughter… He doesn’t even have a child and he’s divorced, no one even know who his ex wife was!?
He have retired and have his brother Luciano Profaci take over the Italian Mafia business because he’s his only option.
Everyone believes it’s because he have no heir. So how did he end up having a daughter now?
“How?…. How did you know?” Waylen ask his father.
“Don’t let this out… I’ll have to call in Rowan and Chase too. Joe Profaci have a daughter…. I once worked for him” John said slowly.
“You never mentioned working for him father.”
John Gotti nods. “Because you never asked”
“Hey! Old man… Why should I ask?” Waylen grin at him.
“C’mon tell me? Did he hide him away or something… Why did no one know about this ”
“Joe Profaci have a young daughter and I think she’ll be in her twenty’s now. During the collide between the Italian Mafias and Silicone Mafias…. Things weren’t going well for him as he’s the leader” He stops and look at Waylen.
“Mmh?”
“His daughter was around five years old then… There’s no way he can protect her for too long as thing were getting too wild up then… I think you’re 11 then and Chase was around 7.”
“Joe have to let all his workers go away because he didn’t want to hurt families. During that time, he asked one of us to take his daughter with him and protect her with his last blood and he’d promise to come back for him. ”
“But he didn’t?” Waylen asks and John shakes his head negatively.
“Six years later… There were news that the man died… The one who agreed to take care of his daughter. I remember going over to his house and he was very broken because he never find his daughter again.. he retired two months after cause he believes his reckless life was the reason he lost his daughter” John Gotti explained.
Waylen didn’t say a word for a while.
Now he understands while Joe Profaci was a loner.. Even despite after retiring from the Mafia, he hides away from everyone.
It was because he lost his daughter.
“So… You’re saying his daughter is still alive?” Waylen asked slowly and John nods.
“We have to find her..”
“Us….!? Why?”
“She needs to continue taking care of his father’s business. Luciano Profaci Is destroying the business and not building it…. He’s ruining everything Joe have built for years. ”
“This is the reason you didn’t want to retire yet? You want to help him..?” Waylen ask and John nods.
“He was so good to me”.
Waylen sigh and look away.
“You’ve to help me find his daughter…..” John Gotti said but Waylen didn’t say a word.
“You said it’s been years and she’d probably be in her twenty’s now? How do you find her…?”
“I remember her name was Lucia Profaci… She have a red butterfly tattoo on her back. She also have a brown hair just like her father”
“Ah! You think we can find her with all this? Even if she’s still alive… There’s no way she’ll be answering the same name”Waylen told his father who nods.
“You’re right… But the tattoo?”
“Should I go about looking at everyone’s back to see the red butterfly? Geez!” Waylen sigh.
“Mmh” John hum.
“The man who took care of her… Are you sure he’s died?” Waylen suddenly asks and John looks up at him.
He didn’t say a word and just look away. There’s no way be can still be alive! It can’t be a false death alarm.
“What’s the man’s name?” Waylen asked.
John Gotti stood up and open his box when bring out a neat but old file and opened it and then he look back at Waylen.
“Al Raymonds” John said and there was silence.
“Even if he’s still alive… His name might also be changed.. if he’s died, there’s no way we can find the daughter” Waylen said and John sigh.
“Mafia’s can change their children’s name, but they can never change their real name. We have to find him… At all cost.”
