Chapter 117
Massimo
I found Bella curled up in bed, with the cloths she went out with still on and her shoes. I sat next to her “Are you okay Bella?” she couldn’t answer me. She tried to get up but was far too weak. Then she vomited all over me. “Sorry love.” “No need sweetheart. Let me just go change quickly.” I walked into the bathroom, undressed and rinse the vomit of my suit pants then I left it in the bath. I put my pyjama pants on and went back to Bella. “Come Bella let me help you.” I picked her up and carried her to the bathroom where I undressed her and myself again and walked into the shower with Bella in my arms. I washed her as fast as I could she was shivering uncontrollably. I wrapped her in a fluffy towel then helped her to brush her teeth, she was still shivering. I got the softest pyjamas out for her put her in the chair with a blanket and pulled the sheets off the bed. “Did you have anything to eat yet today, Bella?” “We ate a Starbucks sandwich, but I was sick before that, I thought I overdid it with the exercise this morning but when we got back from our shopping trip it just got worst.” I remade the bed then got her back into bed; she was still shivering. “When did the fever start?” “When we got home.” “I’ll go get you some crackers and tea.” “Thank you, Massimo, could you bring me a bucket as well please.” “Off course.” I put all the dirty laundry in the spare room’s bathroom, I took my suit pants and jacket in there to. I took a bucket to Bella just in time for her to vomit again. “Sorry Massimo.” “No need to be sorry sweetheart. You’re sick. I’ll go and see what’s in the first aid kid that can help.” I left her and went looking for the first aid kit. Only plasters and bandages, nothing for fever or nausea, great. I called Marco and Bianca. “Why didn’t any of you contact me when Bella got sick?” “She said it was nothing boss, just overdoing it a bit with the exercise today.” “Well, she’s in bed with a fever and vomited all over me.” “Sorry boss.” “Can you go to the chemist and get her something for fever, nausea and body aches. And maybe an energy drink without gas and plain crackers. I think there is in the house but not enough.” “Yes boss.”
I made Bella some tea and put a few crackers on a plate. I took it to her and she tried to eat a cracker and took a sip of the tea. “Oh gosh no Massimo, I can’t swallow the tea. Can you bring me a nausea tablet in my handbag please?” “Yes, off course.” “Did you send Marco to the chemist?” “Yes, why is there anything else you want?” “Yes, please can you ask Marco to asked them if they have Rooibos tea, I know I could stomach that.” “I will sweetheart, try another cracker please.” She ate another cracker and I gave her a nausea tablet out of her handbag. Then I phoned Marco and asked him to find this Rooibos tea. Even if they have to bring the tablets and then go looking for the tea. Marco and Bianca came back with Tylenol, Mortin and more nausea tablets and thank God the tea as well. I gave Bella one of each. “How do I make the tea Bella?” “Same as any other tea Massimo.” I went to the kitchen I made her some of her tea. It did smell nice. I phoned my mom and asked her what I could give Bella that she could keep down. She told me to give her crackers with vegex on. I don’t like vegex, but I knew I had some of it in the kitchen, one recipe of my cook has that as an ingredient. I took the tea and biscuits to Bella. “Thank you, Massimo.” She took the tea first and smell it. “Mmm it reminds me of South Africa.” She took a sip and thank God, she kept it down, then I gave her a cracker. “Is that marmite on the cracker?” “Something similar it’s called vegex.” “I don’t normally eat it, but I do when I have a stomach bug, it’s normally the only thing I could keep down.” “I’m glad I phoned my mother then. How are you feeling, you still have a fever?” “Yes, but I think if I sleep a while it will subside.” “Then if you don’t mind, I’m going to sit here with you and work.” “I don’t mind at all Massimo.” I watched her until she fell asleep then I started with my mails.
I worried about Rachel she was in such a good place and now she’s sick. I know we can’t prevent getting sick, but that’s the only thing that makes me feel helpless. I absolutely hate it.
I’m working on the plans for the meeting tomorrow with the other mafia families. Enzo, Davide and the rest of the men said they will make turns watching the Ricci family from afar. They know the FBI is also watching them so we are planning to watch the FBI and the Ricci family. I’m not that sure the other families will be happy with this plan, it means nothing is being done to the Ricci’s at the moment. I need to convince them we needed to wait for at least 3 weeks until we could move in. While I was typing my agenda, I could feel Bella was shivering again, but violently. I put my laptop down and pulled her back to my front and hold her. With time she started to shiver less. That made me relax and I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle off the night hearing Bella vomiting in the bathroom. I went to her and hold her hair, I took a wash cloth and wipe her forehead. “You okay Bella?” She vomited again. “Should I take you to the hospital?” “No Massimo if you could help me with some mouthwash and help me to bed, I’ll appreciate it.” “Off course Bella.” “Could I ask another favour?” “Off course you don’t need to ask.” “Can you make me another cup of tea and put sugar in please?” “Off course sweetheart.” I came back with the tea and something hit me...
“Sweetheart, could you be pregnant?”
