After receiving the message from Evelyn, Isabe breathed a sigh of relief. Evelyn still couldn’t meet her as she was at homeforting her parents. Isabe now understood how dangerous that day had been. Evelyn’s parents were just ordinary merchants who had never crossed paths with the mafia. Witnessing so many people die in their own home must have been terrifying for them.
“Let them stay in that apartment, Emanuele. Whenever they want to leave, let them leave,” Isabe said.
Emanuele nodded, “It’s all up to you, darling.”N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
Isabe felt a bit embarrassed at Emanuele’s current gentle and sweet tone. How had this man changed so much?
“Isabe,e with me to the dinner next week,” he said.
Now that William had been taken care of and the remaining Sicilians in town would also be dealt with by him, everything was getting better. He also allowed Isabe to return to work at the hospital. He knew she still preferred a normal life and he supported her, provided she could be safe. Seeing Emanuele’s pleading tone, Isabe agreed, “Alright then.”
“Darling, I knew you’d always be the best to me,” Emanuele said, nting a kiss on Isabe’s cheek.
For some reason, Isabe felt that Emanuele was bing more and more like a golden retriever, so openly affectionate towards her. This feeling of being deeply loved touched Isabe. She thought her mother would be happy if she saw this.
Isabe felt like she was returning to her normal life and resumed working at the hospital. Her colleagues found it odd that she hadn’t been around for a while. Although she had been hospitalized before, colleagues from different departments weren’t aware of the circumstances. Isabe mentioned feeling unwell and needing time to recuperate at home. Her colleagues didn’t question her and just advised her to take care of herself.
Everything at the hospital remained unchanged. Isabe looked around at the familiar environment, contemting many things. It brought her a sense of fulfilling busyness but also pain and sorrow. Nheless, it was a ce she loved, and she enjoyed her profession, hoping to shine in this position in the future. She felt she hadn’t really changed from before until now. Especially now, after experiencing so much, being hurt and healing, Isabe felt she should respect this profession more, as she could save countless lives.
Isabe spent a busy day at work and was happy when she returned home. However, after dinner, Elisa approached her, saying, “Isabe, I’m leaving.”
“Why?” Isabe’s face was filled with shock and confusion. She didn’t understand why Elisa, who was fine, wanted to leave and where she was going.
“Now that you’re safe, I think I should return to my original post, to train new members and carry out the tasks Emanuele gave me,” Elisa exined.
Isabe knew that Elisa didn’t like staying in the apartment. She was outgoing and loved freedom. Earlier, Emanuele had moved Elisa to her apartment to protect her. Now that William was dead and there was no danger, Elisa naturally had to leave. Although Isabe knew she would definitely see Elisa again, she still felt a bit reluctant to see her leave.
“Elisa, do you really have to leave?” She held Elisa’s hand, her eyes filled with sadness. She didn’t want Elisa to go.
“Isabe, don’t be sad. The way you’re looking at me, it’s as if I’m about to die,” Elisa frowned, breaking the tense atmosphere. She didn’t like the sadness and didn’t like being sad. Now that she saw Isabe recovering, she was afraid of making Isabe sad. Emanuele would definitely kill her.
Initially, Isabe was a bit sentimental. After all, she might not see Elisa often in the future. But upon hearing Elisa’s words, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Yes, Elisa, you’re right. Why should I be sad? We will still meet; we just won’t be living together,” she said.
Elisa hugged Isabe tightly. At five foot seven, and with a well-built physique from regr exercise, Elisa made Isabe feel petite in her embrace.
“If you miss me,e to the base to find me. As long as Emanuele hasn’t assigned me a task, I’ll be there,” Elisa said.
“Okay, I’ll bring the cake I’ve made to you,” Isabe replied.
Elisa remembered a long time ago when Isabe brought her a cake when she went to train with her. But then it stopped. Isabe had faced too much danger and had been through so much. Elisa always knew Isabe was brave and strong. As she thought about it, Elisa felt her eyes grow warm, tears threatening to fall. Elisa quickly held back her emotions. She had promised not to cry, not to be sad. After all, she had just managed tofort Isabe. Why was she feeling like crying?
She forced a smile. “Alright, next time youe, I’ll train you well. Let’s see how your training has progressed. Or Isabe, should we practice a few moves now?”
Isabe immediately jumped out of Elisa’s embrace, taking a few steps back. “No, no, absolutely not. I’ve regressed a lot now. After everything that happened, I haven’t had any training. How could I possiblypare to you, Elisa?”
“Then next time youe to the base, I’ll train you again. Even though it’s safe now, Isabe, you have to remember, you are the queen of the mafia. There are still unseen enemies around Emanuele. You have to be careful.”
“I know, Elisa. If you go on a mission, you also have to be careful.”
“Don’t worry, my life is precious to me. I’ll take care of myself.”
Hearing Elisa’s reassurance, Isabe rxed.
Lilly also bid a reluctant farewell to Elisa. During her low moments, Elisa had been there tofort and encourage her. Initially, she had been determined to resign, feeling guilty towards Isabe. But now, she had a new intention: to take better care of Isabe and make up for what she felt she owed her.
After Elisa’s departure, the apartment felt emptier to Isabe, as if she had lost more than just one person. She looked at Lilly. “Lilly, I’m still a bit sad. I don’t want to part with Elisa.”
“Next time, I’ll go with you to see her.”
“Okay,” Isabe’s mood improved slightly, but she knew that her chances of seeing Elisa in the future would be scarce.
