Chapter - 76 - Divorce

Gianna sprinted towards the ICU and reached there in no time. "Her blood pressure is decreasing, Dr.G!" said Ralph as he held the patient tightly. Gianna instructed the nurse to inject the medication into her IV and speed the flow rate. Ralph placed the oxygen mask on her face and looked at the monitor.

"The blood pressure is back to normal, Dr.G!" announced Ralph with a sigh. The nurses around them also sighed and checked on the patient. "Get me a scan report soon!" ordered Gianna to the nurse. "What happened here?" asked Gianna. "I came in to check on her, and coincidentally she woke up. I started the usual examination and asked whether she could hear me, but suddenly she started crying. Then her blood pressure started to drop, and her body started to jerk slightly," reported Ralph.

Gianna looked at the CT scan and found no signs of bleeding. "She would have recollected her memories from the time of the accident, and it would have caused her emotional distress, which led to shock," said Gianna, as she checked the patient's pupil. Gianna gave the nurses a few instructions and stepped out of the ICU with Ralph.

In the Visconti base, Rick walked briskly towards the discussion room. "Finally! I thought you were never coming back!" exclaimed Derrick. "Why? Have you transferred my money to my account?" asked Rick as he walked towards the front. Derrick chuckled awkwardly. "This will be the final plan, and I want it to be executed properly. I won't tolerate even a slight flaw," said Rick as he swept a glance at all the men present in the room. The men nodded.

Rick suddenly remembered something as he looked at Albert and asked, "Where is your earpiece?" Albert thought for a second and suddenly stood up, panicking. "I lost it in the hospital ward." Rick quickly walked toward Albert and lifted him by the collar. Rick narrowed his eyes and said in a chilly voice, "If you do something stupid like this one more time, I will lock you up forever!" He released Albert and said in a thunderous voice, "Search every nook and corner for my earpiece. I threw it somewhere here."

Derrick and the men were terrified by Rick's sudden outburst. They didn't waste a second and started to search the whole room. The search went on for another ten minutes when a man shouted, "I found it, Capo." Rick took the earpiece from him and strode back to his room after giving a death glare at Albert. He put on the earpiece, and the other end was dead silent. He didn't know whether the other one was in use or destroyed, but anyway, he decided to take a risk to check the status.

"I never knew Rick could be so terrifying!" said Derrick as he sat near Albert. "Terrifying? Hahaha. I don't think the word terrifying is enough to describe capo!" said Albert with a smirk. "What do you mean 'not enough'?" "Maybe words like 'dreadful', 'horrible', and 'gruesome' could define a part of his anger," said Albert, taking a sip from his cold drink. "I know he is known as 'the Night Devil', but he doesn't look like that at all!" exclaimed Derrick. "Do you know why he is referred to as 'Night Devil' ?" asked Albert. Derrick shook his head.

"We all believe that he is the incarnation of Dracula because he works only at night ! Once he sets a target, no matter what, they will be caught in his trap, and that's why other Capos in the family fear him, even if he is young. The most feared person after the Boss is our capo, but he is most loyal to the under boss. Rick is like a son to our under boss, and no one would dare to touch the duo." said Albert with a proud smile.

"But why did you say he is gruesome?" asked Derrick in confusion. "None of his target's whereabouts are known till now which means no one knows whether they are alive or dead!" Derrick nearly choked on his drink and asked, "What if, I can't get back the load, that was lost?" "It's simple! Only capo and you will know what happened to you!" Derrick's eyes went wide with fear. "I will do my best to complete this plan!" said Derrick in a determined voice and left the room. Albert chuckled and followed him.

In the hospital, Gianna looked at Lucia's health check-up result on her laptop. "I knew something was happening to her body as she suddenly lost weight!" mumbled Gianna as she looked at her team's and family's reports. She glanced at the clock, and it was six pm. She took out her phone and dialed her dad's number.

"To what do I owe this honor?" asked Mr.Salvatore, chuckling through the phone. Gianna smiled and said, "To remind you to cut down on your alcohol consumption, Mr.Salvatore." Mr.Salvatore went silent on the phone. "I will take the silence as your consent. How about I report each of your friends if you don't stop?" asked Gianna with a smirk. "Considering my position, it's not easy to avoid those kinds of parties, Gianna!" said Mr.Salvatore. "Please give the phone to mom and turn on the speaker mode."

"How are you, my sweetie pie?" asked Mrs.Salvatore. "I am good, mom. Listen carefully to me, mom." "I am all ears." "Contact the lawyer and apply for a divorce tomorrow." Mr.Salvatore was shocked and exclaimed, "What are you speaking, Gianna?" "I will do whatever my daughter says. Any suggestions for alimony?" asked Mrs.Salvatore in a serious tone. "Ask for everything except for the property given by grandpa." "Okay done. I will draft the paper and send it to you," said Mrs.Salvatore in a joyful mood.

"Okay, mom. Mom, your diabetes is under control. Good job!" Mrs.Salvatore laughed heartily and said, "I am following the exercise and diet chart you made for me every day! The ladies in my group told me that I look younger day by day!" Gianna laughed with her mom.

"I can finally travel the whole world once I divorce this man!" exclaimed Mrs.Salvatore. "Use that time to find someone with a healthy liver, mom!" said Gianna.
