Francesca still did not understand the reason Coco suddenly refused to marry him. Until the day changed, he also did not get an explanation from the lover. However, the hazel-eyed girl did not want to over-exert her will. Francesca is aware of Coco's condition. Therefore, he chose not to discuss it, until he got word from Adriano that Coco would soon be brought back to Italy. Happiness was again present in Francesca's heart. At least, Coco will be spared from Monique who never absent to visit her lover while in the hospital. Frankly, Francesca was troubled by the red-haired woman's exaggerated attitude.
All preparations for the return to Italy have been completed. Two nurses hired Adriano to accompany them on the trip. Coco who until that second was still lying weak, had to continue to grow her spirit. He who used to do everything alone, now even to drink from the glass alone must get help from others.
The two nurses Adriano had hired earlier, had finished preparing all the medical supplies. Adriano was so grateful to Pierre for taking care of things well. Adriano entrusted everything to the adjutant. He preferred to go back to Italy-Serbia, because he did not want to be far from his wife. While Mia can't leave Miabella for too long. "Good work, Pierre," praised Adriano as he continued to step into Coco's nursery.
"It is not difficult, sir," said Pierre politely as he continued to follow his master's steps until he arrived at the destination. There, they find Coco being accompanied by Francesca.
"Hey, Ricci. How are you today?" greet Adriano as he approached the bed where Coco was lying.
"Bad, Amico. I want to wake up soon. My back feels really hot" said Coco. He was unable to communicate as usual. He's still pretty weak. However, before long the curly-haired man revealed a smile. "The wounds of my former operations have increased a lot" he said.
As previously known, Coco had undergone surgery and treatment at the Palermo hospital. At that time, he experienced the same thing when helping Matteo when attacking the mansion owned by Silvio Moriarty. Unexpectedly, now he must experience the same thing when helping Adriano attack the headquarters of Nenad Ljudevit.
"You're going to get better soon, Ricci" Francesca said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Francy" Coco turned to the girl for a moment.
A moment later, Adriano's cell phone rang. Mia's name is on there. The mother of Miabella requested that she could talk to her sister. Adriano gave his cell phone to Francesca. "I'll excuse you for a moment" said the hazel-eyed girl as she walked towards the exit. However, his steps were briefly stopped, when he crossed paths with Monique. The red-haired beauty came again to see Coco. Without making small talk, Francesca who had to take a call from Mia resumed her steps. Monique went into the treatment room.
"Good afternoon. Am I interrupting?" the soft, pampered voice of the beautiful woman with the tight span skirt had managed to make Adriano and Pierre immediately turn their heads towards her.
"Miss Monique," said Adriano, smiling calmly as the woman who had been Nenad's assistant and favorite approached them.
"You're here too?" Monique, who had been standing next to Coco's bed, again showed off her beautiful smile towards Adriano. He also nodded politely to Pierre. However, of course, his attention will be more focused on the man who is still lying on the bed. "Hi, Ricci. How are you today?" her broom while gently touching the back of Coco's hand.
"As you can see, Monique. I feel so bored" said Coco.
"You don't have to worry. The age is very modern. Distance between countries has no effect at all" said Coco accompanied by a small smile. His condition is not too fit, making Coco lazy to behave silly as usual.
Monique smiled gently as she responded to Coco's remark. As he always did every time he visited the man in the hospital, he would definitely look at Coco's good looks with all his heart. No exception at this time. His attitude had made Adriano feel astonished. The man raised his eyebrows, then glanced at Coco.
"Can I talk to Ricci alone?" pinta Monique to Adriano. However, the blue-eyed man did not immediately reply. He glanced back at Coco, as if asking for her opinion. Coco gestured with a wink as she nodded slowly. After seeing that, Adriano and Pierre moved out of the room.
Now, there's only Monique and Coco in there. Monique chose to remain standing next to the bed. However, his position was getting closer to Coco. "I'm sure, once you're in Italy, you'll forget me pretty quickly" he said. He placed the chamomile flowers he was carrying near the man's body.
"Why do you say that?" coco's voice and tone still sounded quite weak.
"Of course, because next to you there is Francesca who is always faithful to take care and accompany. She's a good lover, huh?" Monique ended her speech with a bitter smile. Coco just smiled a little.
"After the arrival of some police officers who had directly sealed the Black Tower a few days ago, I decided to return to the lab. The plan is we will conduct research to find a cure, for those who have been exposed to morphine results of a failed experiment yesterday. It was very sad to see those innocent people, when they had to be sacrificed to become Nenad's guinea pig. I felt even more disgusted at myself" Monique, who had been showing a gentle smile, now looked gloomy and filled with many regrets.
"You don't have to feel that way, Monique. Is Monique your real name?" ask Coco.
Monique's gloomy face gradually disappeared when she heard the question. The beautiful woman also nodded slowly. "My name is Miljana Manduzic. Monique is the name given by Nenad. He thinks I'm a woman of principle, order, and can provide unlimited service" the woman said as she brushed her red hair.
"Yes, and you're red-haired," joked Coco who made Monique instantly laugh crisply.
A moment later, Monique stopped her laughter. He looked back at Coco softly and soulfully. "Maybe I'll visit Italy sometime, if all my business is done. I always wanted to go there and enjoy the beautiful beach" he said.
"Come by. Italy is a friendly country for anyone. You're gonna love it, for sure" Coco replied.
"Yes, I will definitely love Italy" Monique said as she touched Coco's thin bearded jaw, which looked very sturdy. He also rubbed it gently. Unexpectedly, Monique bent her beautiful body until the beautiful face was getting closer. The delicate and exotic aroma of parfume was clearly smelled in Coco's nose. However, all of that became meaningless to the man, as he felt the soft touch of Monique's lips.
