Two days unconscious after undergoing major surgery, the man finally regained consciousness and was transferred to the hospital room. Meanwhile, the girl who accompanied from the beginning, sat with a tense look by the bedside. She hid her rather pale pretty face, from the gaze of the man who had gone through critical times after undergoing a series of medical procedures.
“Who are you?” asked the man with his heavy and deep voice, though still a bit weak. “How can I be here?” ask again.
The black haired girl slowly raised her face. He ventured, against the gaze of the pair of blue eyes of the man who still looked to have not fully exerted himself. “My name is Olivia Bellamy. I found you stranded on the shore. You're unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds. However, fortunately the team of doctors at this hospital has managed to save your life,” said the girl named Olivia. His tone sounded soft and gentle as well. It seems that the girl is a kind and friendly person.
“Where is this?” ask the man again, without turning a gaze from Olivia who began to misbehave because of it.
“We are in Ajaccio,” replied Olivia who instantly made the man flinch.
“What? That means I'm on Corsica Island?” The man muttered softly like he did himself. Something hard to believe. Back in his memory, the last moments when he was still on Elba Island. The shadow was present and so vivid, as she was shot by the woman she loved so much. “Please call the nurse,” ask the man immediately.
Olivia nodded. He moved from his seat. The girl pressed the button on the bed.
Not long after, a woman in a nurse uniform came into the room. “There can be helped, Mister?” the nurse was polite.
“I want to contact someone. Can you help me, Sister?” replied the man with a tone of speech that sounded quite firm, even though he still looked weak.
“Oh, yes. Sure,” replied the nurse.
“Can I borrow your phone? I promise I will give you some money as a thank you,” said the man again, making the nurse look happy. Without asking much, the woman in white uniform immediately thrust the object that will be lent, to the man who is in the process of recovery.
Not long after, the man seemed to be contacting someone. “Pierre? It's me, Adriano D’Angelo. Come to the central hospital in Ajaccio today. Don't forget to bring me clothes.” The man who was none other than Adriano, then told the number of the room where he was treated. After that, he hung up the phone and returned the nurse's cell phone. “Thank you, Sister. My adjutant will be here soon. No need to worry. I won't renege on a promise,”.
The nurse smiled as she nodded excitedly. “In a few hours I'll be back, because it's time you take the medicine. Now, I'll excuse you.” The nurse then passed from the room.
Meanwhile, Olivia was just silently glued to the man whose body was partially wrapped in bandages, because of the gunshot wounds he experienced. “Where are you from, Mister?” asked Olivia, still in her soft and gentle tone.
“Monte Carlo,” replied Adriano while glancing at the black-haired girl who still looked confused. “Who is in charge of the operation I have been running?” ask Adriano.
“I,” replied Olivia immediately. However, soon the girl fell silent again. “Sorry, if I've been sassy. However, you need immediate treatment,” he said later.
“Thank you very much, Miss Bellamy. I won't forget your kindness,” Adriano replied. A moment later, the blue-eyed man fell silent. His gaze was fixed out the window. I wandered far away somewhere. Who would have thought, it turns out that he is still given a second chance to stay in the world.
Adriano was so grateful, even though the wounds in his heart grew. Close your eyes tightly. The shadow of the beautiful face of the woman he loved came back. That sweet smile can't just be removed from memory.
“Mia ...,” said the man quietly and sounded so soft. A name that always fills his heart, but he cannot afford to have. Meanwhile, Olivia again just silently watched the man who at that time seemed to be back to sleep.
Late in the afternoon, a man about forty years old, came to visit Adriano. The man was Pierre Corbyn, Adriano's loyal aide who had just arrived from Monaco. Seeing the state of the master who was quite alarming, the tall man immediately approached with a very worried look on his face. ”Master, how are you doing?” tanyakanya. “Who has done something like this?” ask the man again.
“Say, Sir. Did Matteo de Luca do this to you?” asked Pierre again with a little force. His loyalty is so high to the master, there is no doubt. It makes him feel unacceptable, when he saw the condition of the chairman of the organization called Tigre Nero is in the condition as it is today.
“It's been two days we searched for your whereabouts. I went to Brescia and Coradeo Castle. The people I met, they all said that you had departed from Elba Island the night after the party. I think it's very strange, because a few days ago when you came to the island, you ordered the helicopter pilot to go straight back to Milan. After that, you don't ask the pilot to pick up when you get home. By what vehicle did you leave from Elba Island?” pierce who is not desperate to get answers that satisfy the employer.
Adriano did not seem to want to answer that question. He just sighed and exhaled slowly. The handsome man then turned his gaze to Olivia, who was still standing and seemed to not know what to do. The girl looks confused. “Can you leave us a moment, Miss?” Look at Adriano's eyes, hinting that he wanted to discuss something personal with the aide.
Olivia nodded immediately. Without saying much, the black-haired girl stepped out of the room.
“Who is the girl, Mister?” pierre asked who was following Olivia's departure with his gaze.
“He brought me to this hospital. Prepare some money as a gift for him,” replied Adriano. Every now and then, the man hissed quietly while closing both eyes, in order to endure the pain from the wound he was in. “Is there any important news as long as I'm not around?” tanyakanya. In such circumstances, Adriano still had time to think about the organization and also business.
“Ya, Sir. There are several emails coming in from your business associates. In this month, you are supposed to attend some important meetings. However, I think it's impossible to remember the health condition ...”
“Don't underestimate me, Pierre! I'm not that weak. I just want to get out of here,” interrupted Adriano.
“I'm sorry, Sir. That's not what I meant. Mr. Sergei Redomir came to the mansion a few days ago. He asked for your whereabouts. I thought, You're still in Italy. That's why I was really surprised, when all of a sudden you said you were in Ajaccio. Tell the truth, sir. I'll deploy our chosen men to avenge all they've done to you.” Pierre clenched his hands perfectly.
“I told you I don't want to talk about it!” jolt Adriano with a high enough tone. However, in the end he had to grimace in pain.
Pierre came closer. Anxiety for the state of his master, made the man look unnatural. “Relax, Sir. If that's your will, then I'll hold back,” he said relented.
“Better now you take care so I can return to Monaco soon!” adriano's word after the pain began to subside.
“Yes. However, your condition ...” Pierre again could not continue his words.
Adriano interrupted again quite firmly, although with emphasis not too high as before. “I don't want to know! Anyway, I want to get back to Monaco!” soon said the blue-eyed man, making the aide unable to refute him again.
Pierre agreed. He knows what he has to do. The man then said goodbye to come out for a moment. He will take care of Adriano's transfer to Monaco.
After Pierre left, Olivia went back in. The girl again showed her awkward attitude. He then approached Adriano who seemed to close his eyes. Either Adriano was really asleep or not. “Master, did you sleep?” asked the pale-faced girl earlier sounding doubtful. He continued to watch Adriano while standing at the side of the bed.
“What's up?” adriano asked without opening his eyes.
“Master spoke with you earlier, saying that he will take care of your transfer to Monaco. Is that true?” ask Olivia again.
“Yes,” Adriano replied still with her eyes closed.
The mood was silent for a moment. I could not hear Olivia asking anything more. Adriano did not seem to care. The man kept his eyes closed. A few moments later, Olivia's soft voice broke the silence in the room. “Will you take me with you to Monaco?” tanyanya ventured.
