Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Later, after learning Pippo’s true identity, Isabella was only worried about whether he would harm Evelyn. She had forgotten that when Evelyn was with him before, there might have been danger.

Evelyn continued to talk to Isabella about her amnesia.

“After the accident, didn’t I lose a part of my memory? The memories of traveling with William, oh God, that was actually my brain protecting me, preventing me from being hurt again! When William and I went on the trip, everything was fine at first. Who would have known that later, at the hotel, William knocked me out, tied me up, and checked my phone for information, looking for things related to you. We got tattoos together, I took a photo of you, and he even asked if it was you.”

Evelyn’s words made Isabella think of the past.

Previously, Frederick had attempted to create misunderstandings between her and Emanuele, intentionally showing him her very private tattoo, making Emanuele believe that her relationship with Frederick was not ordinary, trying to make Emanuele misunderstand her.

At that time, Isabella couldn’t figure out where that tattoo photo came from. Now, hearing Evelyn’s words, Isabella finally understood that the tattoo photo was taken by Evelyn before. At that time, she was getting the tattoo, lying down, and didn’t notice someone taking the photo. Now she knew, it was Evelyn.

Luckily, at that time, she and Emanuele still had a mutual trust. Otherwise, because of Frederick, their relationship would have collapsed, and Frederick’s scheme would have succeeded.

Isabella felt that she, as Emanuele’s wife and the queen of the Mafia, facing danger was normal, but poor Evelyn, she had nothing to do with the Mafia, yet she suffered so much torment.

William was despicable, just like those rats full of filth in the gutter, he would do anything dirty!

Isabella hugged Evelyn tightly, listening to Evelyn’s experiences during this time.

“Isabella, I’m so glad to meet you again. I thought I was going to die there.”

“No, you wouldn’t.” Isabella immediately said, “Evelyn, I’m so sorry. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have gone through all this.”

Now, thinking back, some of the previous unreasonable things now seemed to make sense.

No wonder she had found it strange before, why that jerk seemed to like her before, and then later ended up with Evelyn.

He and Evelyn always invited her to their apartment… especially during the recent tense period, he even said he wanted to go near her home to chat with her. Thinking about these things now, Isabella couldn’t help but gasp in shock.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

It was fortunate that at that time, she had always listened to Emanuele and stayed inside the apartment, not going anywhere.

It was the most correct decision she had made at the time.

However, later she was still kidnapped by William.

Isabella thought of Emanuele again, not knowing how he was doing now.

She chatted with Evelyn for a while and told Evelyn about her pregnancy.

Evelyn was stunned, hugging Isabella, kissing her cheeks frantically.

“Oh my God, Isabella, you’re pregnant, and it’s a girl. My goodness, I’m so happy, Isabella, I want to be the child’s godmother!” Evelyn reached out and touched Isabella’s belly.

Because Isabella’s clothes were loose and thick, Evelyn had not noticed that Isabella’s belly had grown larger just now. Now reminded by Isabella, Evelyn’s hand rested on Isabella’s belly, and she could clearly feel a bulge.

“I can feel it, Isabella, this is amazing,” Evelyn’s eyes lit up again.

This was the best news she had received during this time.

“You are so beautiful, and Emanuele is handsome. This little girl, when she grows up, will surely inherit your and Emanuele’s genes perfectly.”

Evelyn genuinely felt happy for her good friend.

However, thinking of something, Evelyn asked Isabella, “What about Emanuele? I don’t think I saw him.”

That’s right, she had been here for most of the day and had not seen Emanuele.

“Emanuele is injured and is now being treated in the hospital.”

“Aren’t you going to see him?”

“Tony said he would take me when he wakes up.”

They also didn’t know when Emanuele would wake up; it was dangerous for Isabella to stay at the hospital all the time.

William was too good at disguising himself, who knew if he would disguise himself as someone to come in and out of the hospital?

If it had been the previous Isabella, she might have run straight to the hospital, but now, even if she felt anxious and distressed, she had to be obedient.

She could live well now because Emanuele had given up his life and given her a second chance at life.

She now had to value her life more than before, especially with her and Emanuele’s child in her belly.

Evelyn nodded; she had been complaining all this time, and Isabella had been comforting her. She hadn’t realized that Isabella’s problems were more severe than hers.

Emanuele was injured, unconscious in the hospital…

Even though Isabella hadn’t told her about the extent of Emanuele’s injuries, Evelyn could easily infer that Emanuele’s condition must be very bad.

Evelyn touched Isabella’s hair, embracing her. “Isabella, don’t worry, Emanuele will definitely get better.”

At that moment, Tony glanced at his phone and said to Isabella, “Madam, the boss has woken up.”

Excitedly, Isabella stood up and rushed to the hospital.

Emanuele felt like he had slept for a long time.

The moment he saw Isabella safely leave, the breath he had been holding onto relaxed, and his consciousness completely faded away.

He knew that as long as he saw Isabella safe, he could rest assured.

As for himself? He had long been prepared. After all, if he traded his life for Isabella’s, he felt it would be worth it.

When he woke up again, he felt very sore, especially in his heart, which made him furrow his brow in pain.

“Emanuele, are you okay?”

A gentle hand cupped his cheek.

Emanuele saw Isabella beside him. Her eyes were filled with tears, making her look pitiful.

Seeing him awake, her tears started to flow freely.

“Emanuele, you’re finally awake. Thank God, I was really worried about you.” Isabella kissed Emanuele’s forehead, then held his hand, kissing it repeatedly.

At that moment, Isabella was filled with joy and sorrow.

She was happy that Emanuele had woken up, but sad to see Emanuele looking so frail now.

She had never seen Emanuele so vulnerable before.

Even when he had been shot before, he had still been as imposing as a lion, unlike now.

“Darling, don’t cry,” Emanuele wiped away the tears from Isabella’s cheek. Due to being in a coma for so long, and being so weak, his voice sounded hoarse, “I’m awake now, aren’t I?”

Seeing Isabella so upset, Emanuele felt his own heart ache.

However, she was unharmed and looked fine, which made Emanuele very happy.

Of course, Emanuele also noticed that Isabella’s hair had been cut short.

He reached out, stroking Isabella’s hair. Isabella immediately smiled and said, “I think having short hair is not bad, it looks good, doesn’t it?”

Emanuele didn’t deny it, but he felt a pang in his heart. Isabella cherished her long hair, and now it was cut because William had ruined it.

That jerk!
