L'ERRORE DELLA MAFIA

CHAPTER 43

"What the fuck is taking so long" I growl at the doctor as he works on Arabella.

"Hunter I am doing my best just let me do this" Connor replies making me groan.

After Arabella passed out right in my arms, I freaked out and dialed my friend to come and check on her. He's the only person I trust with my babygirl and the only one I could tell the whole story of what happened. And he just so happens to live here, hes doing his residency or something I dont know.

Once he's done checking her up, he stands up tucking his flashlight into his pocket.

"From what you told me I would say she was runnimg on adrenaline and when the situation died down she crashed, or maybe too much happened. Her blood sugar is definitely too low so shes running on no food for some time now id guess." he explains, scribling something down on a notepad. "I already gave her some nutrients in that IV so once shes fully awake, I suggest you bring in for a full checkup because shes too weak for my liking, I dont know how she CEOs a company, I mean a more in depth evaluaion would determine it but Im thinking borderline anemia" he finishes.

"What the fuck?" I spit at him angrily. I look at her small frame on the bed, sighing at the fragile girl.

"Im obviously just saying based on this very vague evaluation, Im stressing that you bring her to the hospital, Ill make an appointment and text you the time and ill make it a priority one. I know its not your fancy private hospital at the estate but ill try my best." he says standing up with his bag.

"Alright thanks man" I shake his hand and he nods.

"Yeah goodluck man" I walk him to the door then come back and sit by her side, just watching her beautiful features as she sleeps peacefully.

I wake to someone scratching my head and I quickly look up confused. When my thoughts line up I look at Arabella to find her looking at me with a tired smile.

"Hi" she croaks, her voice soft. I let a huge breath that I feel like I was holding since she closed her eyes.

"Hi baby, you feeling better?" I ask her as softly as I can, my voice husky from sleep.

"Yes, what happened?" she asks softly as I stand up to grab her some water.

"You fainted tesoro, according to the doctor youre weak and you havent eaten anything in hours." She gives me shrug. "Why dont you take care of yourself, youre so small you need to be more careful and-" she stops drinking water to stop me.

"Slow down" She laughs softly. "Ive never heard you talk so fast Hunter are you okay?" she asks with a concerned look.

"No Im not okay because you are the heart and soul of my existence and it kills me to see you in this position." I say loudly. Shes looking at me, eyes wide and lips parted.

"Wha-" she licks her lips. "Im fine" she whispers looking into my eyes. I breath out loudly trying to myself as calm as possible.

"No youre not, theres no way you dont feel weak, Connor said youre so weak you might be anemic" I say to her making her frown.

"No I dont think so, I- I feel fine" she mumbles looking away.

"I have to take you to the hospital, for a checkup, my friend, your doctor, Connor suggested it. The apointment is in an hour." I explain.

"But-"

"No buts cara mia, get dressed" I demand making her huff.

"I dont know who made you boss you meanie" she mumbles looking down, playing with her hands. I tilt her face up to me, stroking her chin with my thumb.

"Im worried about you" I say to her. Her face softens, those beautiful gray eyes becoming soft and loving.

"okay im sorry ill go" she says making me nod. She narrows her eyes playfully making me quirk an eyebrow. "I dont trust you like this, so nice, not once have you scolded or repremanded me" she says with playful eyes and a small smile.

"Im sorry for everytime I did" I say to her making her face turn to a surprised, more sincere one.

"Oh." she whispers softly. "And why the change Don De'Luca" she asks making my heart beat a little a faster at her calling me that.

"beh immagino l'assenza rende il cuore più affettuoso" I say to her fondly.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" she translates surprising me. She smiles, touching my cheek in a loving gesture. "So in simple words, the big bad Don missed me?" she asks making me shake my head laughing.

"Im surprised you know that quote" she brings up.

"Im surprised you know that much Italiano" I shoot back.

"Beh, ci ho lavorato." she says casually. I groan under my breath.
(well ive been working on it)

"It makes you even more sexy" I smirk when she blushes.

"stop" she mumbles making me chuckle.
