Chapter - 143 - A reliable sister

Mr. Ellerbrock, the bodyguards, and Gianna were equally stunned by his action. Gianna came back to her senses and gently removed his hugging hands from her body. "Were you surprised?" asked Alexi with a cheerful smile. Gianna nodded and said, "I didn't know you could walk!" "I told the other doctors to keep it a secret. Ha Ha!" said Alexi, happily.

Gianna smiled at him affectionately and led him to his bed. Did Alexi think he could make other doctors hide his details from Gianna? It was only his wishful thinking. The residents would never hide anything from Gianna as they know where that could end up for them. The residents had already informed Gianna about Alexi, and she went with the idea of acting for his happiness.

Gianna made him sit in the bed and examined him. "Great, Alexi! So finally, you can be discharged within two weeks." Alexi had a devastating look on his face as he heard her. "Two weeks? That soon! But I don't want to leave you!" said Alexi in a low voice. Gianna glanced at Mr. Ellerbrock and then at Alexi. "Alexi don't be like that! Do you want to be patient all your life? Don't you want to be a capable man to look after your loved ones?"

Alexi exhaled deeply and looked straight into her eyes. "I only had my grandpa as my family till a few months back, but now you are also my family. I have never felt sister love from anyone. I hope you will treat me as your own brother. Will you forget me if I get discharged from the hospital?"

Gianna could feel the sincerity in his words and said, "How can I forget my brother? Don't worry. I will always be here, and we can meet whenever you want. Okay?" Alexi heaved a sigh and nodded with a bright smile. Gianna patted his shoulder and reminded him to rest properly before leaving the room.

Gianna stepped out of the room and walked towards the elevator in deep thought. "Dr. Gianna!" Gianna stopped in her tracks and turned as she recognized the voice. She smiled politely and asked, "Yes, Mr. Ellerbrock."

"I apologize on behalf of Alexi. He is not a clingy boy, as far as I know. After his parents passed away, he had a complete behavior change. I have never seen him happy from the bottom of his heart. But after meeting you, he has become a lot more cheerful. So, please don't mind his behavior. I will make him understand so that he won't bother you in the future."

'So, the weakness of the big shot Ellerbrock is his grandson!' thought Gianna. She smiled and said, "Why don't you let him be cheerful from now on? If he considers me a sister, I will sincerely consider him a brother. So, you don't have to worry about him and let him do what he feels like. I am pretty much a reliable sister. Don't you think so, Mr. Ellerbrock?"

Mr. Ellerbrock was surprised by her words and stood there in a daze. Mr. Ellerbrock chuckled and said, "You are far more reliable than I am to Alexi!" Gianna smiled and bid him good night before leaving. Mr. Ellerbrock could sense a familiarity from her retreating figure and stood there in a daze for some time. "Have I seen her before?" mumbled Mr. Ellerbrock in confusion before entering the ward.

Gianna soon reached her apartment and started to clean her apartment before freshening up. As usual, Mrs. Rogers was on dinner duty and delivered her dinner. Gianna had her dinner and finally sat in front of her computer.

"Should I check the mail?" asked Gianna herself. She decided to give it a go and logged into her mail. As the main screen appeared, she deeply regretted her decision because there were thirty thousand and more unread emails!

"Oh no! Why the hell do these people send me mail when they know I won't check the mail?!" groaned Gianna as she glanced across her mail. She typed a few codes, and a window popped up. There was a list of names in ascending order and the number of emails received from them. She took a screenshot and saved it on her computer. She quickly deleted all her emails and closed the tab. "I will never open the mail again in my life!"

All those emails were from various companies where she was either a part of the company or from the company she owned. She opened the video call portal, and the team quickly joined the portal. "Hey, guys!" "Gianna, didn't you say you were busy and won't have time to contact us just a few days back?" asked Also mockingly. "Yes. I did say that, but I never said I won't contact you in between. Did I?" "No," said Aldo with a smirk.

"I have sent a link to your mobile. Download it now!" The team nodded and quickly opened the link to download an app. "What is this app, G?" asked Roberto, curiously. Gianna smiled and said, "We can contact each other through this app from now on! You can send updates or any messages through this app. Also, do you see a red icon with an exclamation mark at the top right? That's an emergency button. If you ever face a life-threatening situation, you can press that button, and it will send an SOS message along with your location and a live video."

"Wow! We finally have a spy app!" exclaimed Lucia. "Remarkable!" said Roberto. "Can we publicise this? We can earn a good amount!" commented Aldo. "Are you a money grubber? Always thinking of earning money!" reprimanded Lorenzo. "Tsk. Whatever!"

Gianna smiled at their bickering and asked, "So, are there any updates?"
