Chapter 58: Code Blue!

Johnny, upon hearing his wife's voice, is surprised and at the same time intrigued, letting out a loud and dark laugh.

“It seems you're doing very well, dear wife.”

“No thanks to you, your bastard.”

“Oh, come on. Look on the bright side, thanks to the incompetence of my subordinates, you and your son are alive.” Johnny is debauchee

“It's not thanks to the incompetence of these traitors, but thanks to my cleverness and intelligence.”

“If that's what you want to believe, fine. But tell me, is your lover man helping you?”

“That's none of your business. I only answered your subordinate's cell phone because I want to give you a message.”

“Go ahead, honey.”

“I'm coming after you and when I catch you, I'll definitely kill you, but first I'll make sure to torture you very slowly.”

“I'm not afraid of you, bitch. If you haven't noticed your family is over, it's just become a story for me to tell. How my friends. How I deceived the powerful Anthony Hahn, married his daughter, slept with her for 10 years, pretended to be strong who cares for and values ​​his family and, in the end, with your mother's help, in the blink of an eye I ended up with a father and, as a bonus, with the weak son, leaving only a woman and a child. It's only a matter of time before I end you and your son." "If that's what you think, fine. But I want to remind you that four traitors are dead." Want to play with luck, love? Let's go." Bella turns off her cell phone and throws it away, leaving the warehouse, giving the order to Josiah and Luke to get rid of the two traitors. At home, Bella, after a shower, sits in an armchair in the living room, enjoying a Martini that she had prepared herself, while her thoughts fly, remembering Dylan's words that proposed that their names should be united and, most importantly, that they should become a family. She smiles slightly thinking about the possibility, but is soon interrupted by Theo's voice calling her:

“Mommy, are you okay?” The boy finds Bella's manner strange.

“Yes, I am. And you, are you done with classes today?”

“Yes. Tomorrow I have a math and science test. Why do I have to take a test if I study at home and it doesn't even count as if I were at school, and why can't I go to school like before? I miss my friends.”

“Sorry, my love, but I can't send you back to school right now, it's too dangerous. Johnny is lurking around, and I need you to stay in safe until I resolve this situation with him once and for all. And as for you studying at home, it's so that you can continue your learning and not lose the school year.” Bella tries to explain with all patience.

“That sucks. What's the point of having a prestigious name in the mafia world and not being able to enjoy it? What did I do wrong to live in hiding without being able to play with my friends?" Théo vents his frustration as he goes up the stairs to his room. Bella looked in disbelief at Susan, who had taken Théo to the living room, "The worst thing is that I know he's right. I have to resolve this situation with Johnny quickly and restore the Hahn family name."

The next day, Bella's first commitment was to take Theo to the hospital to remove the stitches from his scalp and when they arrived, to the brunette's surprise, he was the doctor who had treated the boy in Miami.

“Dr. Carter?! What are you doing here?”

“I came to see my favorite patient.”

“Did you seriously travel all the way to New York just to see Theo?”

“No. I work at this hospital too and I told you I would be coming to NY in the next few days. You're the one who didn't pay attention.”

“Oh! It's just that I had so many things on my mind.”

“I'm not charging you, Mrs. Hahn. It would be weird of me if I did that.” The doctor gets up and goes to Theo, “Can I see your head, young man?” The boy gives permission.

“I'm going to ask you to sit on that stretcher, okay? I'm going to get the materials I need and call the nurse.”

The doctor then returned with a towel in his hands and inside the towel the instruments he would use to remove the stitches. However, Théo, upon seeing all that one, began to get nervous and wanted to cry, clinging to his mother.

“Stay calm, Théo, you’ve been brave up until now. Just hold on a little longer.”

“How about some ice cream after we’re done here?”

“I want a milkshake,” the boy replied, still tearful, while the doctor and Bella looked at each other and smiled. After all, Théo, despite often having mature attitudes, was still a child of only 10 years old.

When everything was over, the now calmer boy demanded the doctor’s promise, “And my milkshake, are you going to give it to me now?”

“Théo, the doctor is busy and has other patients to see.”

“Actually, I have a few minutes before the next patient, so we can have a milkshake.”

“We don’t want to bother you. I can buy him the ice cream without any problem.”

“It won’t bother me. I insist.”

“Okay then.”,

The three of them head towards the cafe-restaurant on the first floor of the hospital, and wherever they go, everyone greets the doctor, showing their influence. When they arrive, they choose a table, sit down and wait for a waiter to come and take their orders:

“Good morning! What would you like?” The waitress looks at the three of them, curious, eager to ask, but she can’t because she’s not familiar enough to do so, even though the doctor always eats his snacks there, and she’s the one who usually serves him. However, someone who has status and knows the doctor better shows up, asking exactly what she wants to know.

“Dr. Carter, how nice of you to bring your wife and son. You’ve always been so reserved.”

“Hello, Dr. Lee! They’re not my wife and son. This is my patient, Théo, and this is his mother, Mrs. Bella Hahn. Théo was very brave to let me take the stitches out of his head, so we’re here to have a delicious milkshake of?”

“Strawberry, please.” the boy answers.

“Do you want to join us?” Carter is friendly.

“No. You can make yourself comfortable, excuse me.”

While Theo was enjoying his milkshake, Bella was sharing a sparkling water with Carter while they talked.

“How about dinner sometime?” Carter threw his invitation in the air and before Bella could answer:

“Code Blue, Code Blue… Attention Dr. Carter, come to the emergency room.” the female voice echoed throughout the hospital.

“Sorry, I have to go.” the doctor gets up and runs away, Bella just watches, smiling

“I approve of this one, mom. He seems like a good guy.”

“What are you talking about, kid? I already have enough complications in my life.” Bella answered her son, still looking in the direction the doctor ran.
