Chapter 169: When Are You Having Children

Exiting the hospital, Isabella glanced at Emanuele. "Why did you suddenly decide to come today?" "You said she woke up. She's your friend, and I should come to visit her. Besides, she hasn't met me before.”

Isabella found Emanuele's reasoning reasonable. She held his hand. "Emanuele, thank you. Regardless of what's between us, I appreciate your care and attention."

"You've thanked me several times already, Isabella. You don't need to keep saying thank you. I’m your husband, and it's my duty." Emanuele added, "I'll ensure the best medical team handles Evelyn's treatment. Don't worry; everything will be fine.”

Isabella nodded, expressing her gratitude through a hug. Unable to find the right words, she could only show Emanuele her appreciation through actions.

Thinking about Evelyn's injuries, Isabella wondered if she was in pain. After such a severe car accident, days in a coma, and the risk of hearing loss. Isabella found solace in the fact that Evelyn had lost the memory of the crash, sparing her from reliving the traumatic scene.

Over the next few days, Isabella continued to accompany Evelyn. visiting the hospital daily and discussing Evelyn's condition with Pippo. The two of them became closer friends.

Isabella could see that Pippo was genuinely worried about Evelyn. She used to find their relationship a bit strange, but now she thought Pippo might have feelings for Evelyn.

"Isabella, I'm truly sorry. As Evelyn's boyfriend, I failed to protect her, and she had to endure such hardship,” Pippo said, his face revealing pain. "If I had reacted faster, pulled her closer, maybe Evelyn would be fine now.”

"It's not your fault. No one could have predicted such a sudden situation, Pippo. Don't blame yourself." Sighing. Pippo looked visibly distressed. Isabella didn't know how to comfort him.

"At least Evelyn seems to be doing well now."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Watching Evelyn gradually improve, Isabella felt relieved. Evelyn also asked about recent events.

Isabella selectively shared some details with Evelyn. She didn't dare to mention her mother's passing or anything related to death, fearing it would sadden Evelyn

"I don't remember what happened in the past few weeks. I saw your messages and replied, but it's strange. I can't recall what happened during that time," Evelyn said

"If you remember, I'd really like to ask why your tone was so peculiar back then," Isabella remarked, recalling Evelyn's messages that made her think Evelyn's phone had been stolen.

"I find it strange too, but I can't remember for now. Let's wait until I fully recover and remember the past," Evelyn replied

"Alright. However, Evelyn, Pippo has been taking care of you tirelessly during this time. I used to think you two weren't quite suitable, but now I think you can marry him.”

She had never seen a man take care of his girlfriend like this. Despite being a doctor with a presumably busy schedule, he took a long leave just to stay with Evelyn every day in the hospital. He felt particularly guilty, blaming himself for not protecting her well enough to prevent her injuries.

"Marriage? I think we need some time to get to know each other before considering marriage.” Evelyn said. “But, I'm getting along well with Pippo now. He takes good care of me, especially when we went on a trip."

Evelyn paused and couldn't help but reach for her head. Isabella immediately became nervous. "What's wrong?” "It's nothing, just a sudden pain. But it’s okay," Evelyn assured. A bit of pain and it's okay? Isabella wasn't entirely convinced. "Shall I call the doctor?"

"No need, it's fine. Probably the trauma hasn't fully healed, so it hurts a bit. Whenever I try to recall those blank memories, my head starts hurting.”

“Your body is protecting you, Evelyn. Probably because those memories are too horrifying, your subconscious I is shielding you fromm the mental torment," Isabella = explained. Both being doctors, they understood the body's self- defense meéhanisms. In the face ofSuch a terrible car accident, Evelyn's inability to recall was likely her body's way of protecting her.

Evelyn nodded, deciding not to dwell on it. If the memories were meant to return, they would in due time.

"Evelyn, get well soon. You said you wanted to come to my apartment. I've tidied up, and you can stay at our place for a couple of days." With the crisis in Chicago resolved, she could invite Evelyn without worrying about any danger.

"Okay, Isabella, my esteemed Mafia Queen.”

She even had time to tease her! Isabella was surprised, looking at the gleam in Evelyn's eyes. She couldn't help but laugh.

It's good that Evelyn can still crack jokes. It indicates that her body is gradually recovering.

"Get well soon. I'll take you out for shopping and dining. Whatever clothes or bags you like, I can buy for you. Don’t worry; I've got plenty of money now.”

"Wow, that's fantastic, Isabella! I have a wealthy friend now. I won't be polite when the time comes! Oh my God, I can't wait to be discharged right away.”

"No hurry. I'll be waiting for you,” Isabella smiled

"By the way, Isabella, when are you and Emanuelé’planning to havea baby? Your relationship i is perfect, ~ . and Emanuele is not as fierce as imaginéd. With one so handsore and the other so beautiful, your child witksurely be adorable. I cant wait to bétome the child's godmother."

Having a child? Isabella fell into contemplatian because of Evelyn's words. SheWad thought about having achild, but their relationship with Emanuele wasn't as good 4 as it appeared. Their apparent closéhess wag just a facade; their relationship was a game, and no one knew when a winner would emerge.

If they had a child now, it would be like admitting defeat. Raising a child in such an environment wouldn't be fair to the child. “I'm still young, no hurry for a child.” "You're already married; consider having a child sooner. I can help take care of them,” Evelyn said with a smile.

Although speaking was still a bit challenging for her, she tried hard to appear normal. Her stubborn nature and competitive mentality didn't allow her to look abnormal.
