The very next day, early morning The Salvatore come rushing in, startle Luciano up as he quickly draws out his handgun pointing towards their direction.
"Filium (son) stop with the overreacting and put your gun down," said Giovanni as he walks past Luciano and stands beside Stella who was still fast asleep.
"My baby girl," said Catherine as she holds Stella's other hand softly and carefully as it was attached with the IV drips.
"Who did this?" asked Gabriel in a low voice full of anger.
"The Varrios Riot Cartel" reply Luciano without taking his eyes off Stella.
"They fucked with the wrong family," said Giovanni as he overheard their conversation and look at Gabriel who already on his phone.
"No need frater (brother), I've instructed my man to bring his clan down," said Luciano without looking elsewhere but towards Stella.
"Get it done as quick as you can filium (son)" said Giovanni as he looks briefly at Gabriel who nods his head.
"The more the merrier," said Gabriel as he exits the room to make a quick phone call.
*KNOCK KNOCK* *KNOCK KNOCK*
"It's time for her regular check-up," said the nurse as she looks at them seeking permission before entering.
The nurse then enters as she looks at Giovanni who nods his head to her.
"The doctor will be here in a second, I just need to get her chart," said the nurse as she quickly grabs the chart and looks through the chart in which the doctor arrived.
"Sorry to bother but I need to check on the patience," said the doctor in a little timid voice as he looks at them all looking strong and rich aura oozing out of them.
"Here's the chart doc," said the nurse as she hands over the chart and begins her routine.
"She's a healthy 24 years old girl, hmm.. okay so we'll stop giving her the sedative now so she'll be able to gain conscious soon but if she complains of any pain do tell us as soon as possible. Nurse change the Intravenous sedation to a saline-based electrolyte solution" said the doctor as the nurse takes out the Intravenous sedation and change into a newer IV drips that contain saline-based electrolyte solution.
The doctor then turns Stella's head slightly to look at her small stitches and at that moment Gabriel walk inside the room.
"I guess She'll wake up sooner but just be mindful of the small stitches behind her head, the nurse will explain more on what to do and what not to do," said the doctor before he walks out from the room.
"I'll show you where is the stitches and there's no need to come back here but if there's unexpected bleeding on the stitches area then bring her here as fast as you can. So if you can see the stitches is here and we have to shave a little of her hair but it's not that obvious just so the doctor can stitch her head up" explain to the nurse as she slightly pushes the hair away reveal the small stitches.
"Other than that, there's nothing to worry about but just don't pressure her too much," said the nurse as she cleans up after herself while quickly place back the chart and out from the room.
"Thank the Gods that she's fine now," said Catherine to her husband as he nods his head.
"Mater, pater (Mother, father) I think the three of you should get some sleep. The three of you look like lack sleep and it's 5 in the morning. Stella won't be awake up till late afternoon or so" said Luciano as he looks at his watch.
"I'll take care of her mater (mother) so don't worry" add Luciano as he saw Catherine reluctant to let go of her daughter's hand.
"Okay, we'll come back later," said Giovanni as he and Catherine head towards the door while Gabriel pats a single pat on Luciano's back and head out together with his parent.
Luciano then moves closer to look at Stella before he caresses her cheek and seat back to his original place and lay back down.
Around the afternoon, Skylar, Lucian, Jacob, George and The Salvatore arrived at Stella's room while Luciano excused himself to use the toilet. As soon as he enters the toilet Stella slowly gain conscious and look around the room.
"Mea infantem puella, quid sentis? Militia est vita quis dolor? (My baby girl, how do you feel? Is there any pain?)" asked Catherine in a worried tone as she looks at Stella.
"Water," said Stella in a slow and low tone.
"Aqua? Habes hic aquas (Water? Here's your water)" said Giovanni as he passes the small cup to Catherine who gladly takes it.
Catherine then brings the cup near to Stella and guide the straw to her lips before she slowly sips the water to quench her thirst.
"Where's Marius?" asked Stella as she looks at them all.
"He's with Isla honey, don't worry about him okay," said George in a loving tone which earns him a side-eye from Catherine.
"I haven't officially introduced you guys aren't I, and this is the first time you all meet each other," said Stella with a small smile as the medicine wasn't fully ware off.
"Skylar, help me to introduce them" add Stella as she looks at them in a groggy manner.
"Lia, they know each other. Did you not remember that?" asked Skylar in a confusion.
"When?" asked Stella again in a low groggy tone.
"This is weird, I'll go and get the doctor," said Skylar in a panic tone as she runs outside the room while everyone was standing still in shock.
A few minutes later, the doctor comes rushing in together with the same nurse as they both start to examine Stella.
"Please wait outside for a minute," said the doctor to the rest of the family as they walk out from the room but not Skylar as she stays behind.
"Lia? You okay?" asked Skylar as she pushes the nurse slightly away.
"Miss, you need to move or else I can't do my job," said the nurse but was ignored by Skylar.
"Sky, I want you to get the doctor and nurse to cooperate and tell the rest of our family that I've lost my memory but make it believable" whisper Stella towards Skylar's ear as she nods her head in understanding.
"Doc, I want you to tell the rest of the family that she lost her memory about the incident. I'll pay you double the money that you get from this hospital and that goes to you too nurse" said Skylar in an authoritative tone.
"Do it or else you won't see anything in the future" add Skylar without missing a beat as she looks dead in their eyes.
"Ye-yes Miss," said both doctor and the nurse as they look at Skylar slightly scare.
"With that clear out if you please call them back in, thank you," said Skylar as she smiles sweetly at the nurse who quickly walks over to the door and opens it to let the rest of them in.
"It's Mikhail, not Tim," said Stella in a whisper as Skylar nod her head and pretend to give Stella her water.
"Is she okay?" asked Giovanni as he enters the room first.
"She's fine just don't force her into remembering things and it seems like she can't remember the incident on what had happened the day she got to attack," said the doctor lowly to them as he concludes his fake deduction.
No one talks but they silently nod their head and the doctor together with the nurse quickly walk out of the room while Luciano walks over towards them.
"How is she?" asked Luciano.
"Where have you been bro, you miss everything," asked Gabriel while everyone looks at him before their attention turns back to Stella who rolled her eyes and pretends to sleep.
"I went to get some lunch since I skipped breakfast plus everyone has here crowded the room," said Luciano as he looks at them.
"What did I miss though?" asked Luciano as he walks closer to Gabriel.
"Nothing bro nothing" mock Gabriel.
Then the two proceed to bicker in both Sicilian and Italian language which sounded like two people fighting with each other while the rest of the family talk among them about who's going to take care of Stella, Skylar and Marius.
