Emanuele’s leg is better now than before. Although he still limps when walking, he can walk a bit faster and for a bit longer. However, there are still some differencespared to his normal walking style.


    Emanuele doesn’t know if the probability of returning to normal is too slim. Yet, he is earnestly eager to return to his regr life. In truth, just as Isabe said, the worst-case scenario is that he would be left with a disabled leg. Even so, this wouldn’t affect his position. He would still be the head of the Chicago Mafia, still towering over everyone,manding their respect.


    However, deep down, he struggles to ept the current situation. For this reason, he diligently applies himself to the task of rehabilitation.


    Currently, he and Isabe are resting on a bench downstairs after walking for a while. The patients around them bask in the sun and converse, but Isabe and Emanuele remain quiet, sitting together in a way that doesn’t feel awkward.


    Isabe no longer has to worry about anything except Emanuele’s leg. Chicago is safe now. However, Emanuele has temporarily kept news of his injury sealed off. He knows that if news of his injury or disability were to spread, some enemies, who might have just been contemting action, would quickly be active.


    Although Chicago has stabilized, they still need to recover after enduring several battles. If their adversaries were to strike at this time, they might suffer even greater damage.


    At that moment, Isabe’s phone rang. “It’s Grazia,” Isabe said. She suddenly realized that, apart from informing Grazia of her safe arrival shortly after getting off the ne, she hadn’t been in touch with Grazia since. During this time, her thoughts had been solely on Emanuele.


    After answering the call, Grazia asked, “Hey, Isabe, how are you? How are things in Chicago? Is it still safe?”


    “It’s safe. Emanuele is injured and still in the hospital. I’m with him.”


    “I see. Isabe, since you left, I’ve really missed you. Nichs also misses you. When are youing back to Italy?”


    “In some time. Right now, I have to take care of Emanuele. When he’s recovered from his injury, we’lle to Italy to see you together.”


    Emanuele hasn’t yet seen his young nephew.


    “Perfect,” Grazia said. “Isabe, I’ll be waiting for you. Nichs is growing up, and he’s bing quite mischievous. If you see him, you’ll find him absolutely adorable.”


    After chatting with Grazia for a while, Isabe ended the call. She looked at Emanuele. “When should we go to Italy for a visit? Grazia really misses us.”


    “After my leg is better, I can’t go see Grazia limping,” Emanuele replied.


    “God willing, you’ll definitely get better,” Isabe said, embracing Emanuele.


    In her heart, Emanuele has always been a perfect presence. Even if his leg remains as it is, Isabe still sees him as perfect. Thus, she doesn’t want Emanuele to have psychological issues. She hopes to help him ovee any mental hurdles.


    Emanuele smiled and kissed Isabe on the forehead.


    In a couple of days, Emanuele was discharged from the hospital. Although he still walked with a limp, his external injuries had mostly healed. The only thing left was to wait for a full recovery.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    The apartment is back to its usual state. When Isabe and Emanuele were at odds, she found the ce increasingly distressing. Now, however, she feels warmth.


    Before, she had been in the hospital, apanying Emanuele, eating and sleeping with him. Now that she’s back, Lilly embraced Isabe. “Isabe, are you okay? Oh, God, Emanuele, you’re back too? You’re finally back.”


    While hugging Isabe, Lilly also hugged Emanuele. When they weren’t there, Lilly was alone in the apartment. Although not having to cook made things easier, Lilly wasn’t happy. She felt too idle and thus experienced a sense of emptiness. Now that Isabe and Emanuele have returned, she is very happy. However, she also noticed Emanuele’s limp.


    “Oh, God, Emanuele, what happened to you?” Lilly was deeply pained.


    “It’s nothing. I’ll recover soon,” Emanuele told Lilly. In truth, he wasn’t sure. The doctors couldn’t make a definitive judgment either, saying that it would depend on how his body recovered. The bandages around his knee had been removed, leaving behind an ugly, twisted scar, coiling around his knee like a worm.


    For the following period, Emanuele diligently exercised every day, paying close attention to his walking posture. Hewas able to return to work at thepany and attend meetings. In truth, if one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t be able to tell that his leg had been injured.


    Every night, Isabe would massage Emanuele’s leg. Watching Emanuele gradually recover and seeing the scars on his body fade, Isabe felt very happy.


    Although Emanuele’s profession is very dangerous, Isabe still hopes that he can remain safe and sound.


    Isabe didn’t return to work at the hospital. Although Emanuele had managed to suppress the previous incident, her colleagues were aware of her identity. It felt quite awkward to continue working there. Instead, she spent her days studying online courses and preparing for exams.


    Evelyn also invited Isabe out to have fun. Learning that Karen had left Chicago and that Isabe and Emanuele had reconciled, she was very happy.


    “I told you earlier, Isabe, with your strong bond with Emanuele, there won’t be any problems. Emanuele kept his injury from you because he was just afraid of worrying you. Now things are going well between you. Even if Emanuele’s leg remains injured, and he is disabled, he can still walk. Isn’t that enough?”


    Isabe nodded, finding Evelyn’s words reasonable.


    “However, Isabe, I’m troubled now. Should I confess to my parents about my rtionship with James? I feel like they won’t ept it.”


    After observing for some time, Evelyn hade to know that James is a very reliable person. Despite his strong and intimidating appearance, and despite rumors of his proficiency in lethal activities, he is very gentle with her. When they’re together, James is very considerate of her emotions, which makes Evelyn very happy. Additionally, Isabe had assured her that James is definitely not the kind of viin that William was. Since Emanuele is a good person and James is his subordinate, it’s a testament to James’ character. However, her parents might not be able to ept it.
