Chapter 147 Her Superhero
Both cars sped down the road at breakneck speed, with Mia's car trailing closely behind the one carrying Alessandro. Her eyes were fixed on the vehicle ahead as if her gaze alone could reach her husband and infuse him with her strength. She had forgotten about her broken arm, and her focus was entirely on Alessandro. But Alexander stayed continuously by her side, holding her protectively. Yet time seemed to crawl for her impatient and fearful heart, and the road ahead stretched endlessly, far longer than it would on any ordinary day.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Lucas and the other men sprang into action. Alexander quickly got out of the car as well. When Mia rushed forward, he looked at her with concern.
"Mia, if you want me to go with Alessandro and ensure he gets the best medical care, you need to be careful and not hurt yourself more," Alexander warned. He signaled to his assistant, who stepped forward. "Take my sister to the emergency room and have her checked and treated for her fractured arm," he instructed.
Turning to Mia, he added, "Will you listen to me this time?"
Mia hesitated but nodded reluctantly. She wanted to be with Alessandro, but she knew her arm needed proper treatment so she could recover quickly and take care of her husband. With that in mind, she agreed to go with Alexander's assistant.
Throughout the entire time, Mia's mind was fixated on Alessandro, making it difficult for her to concentrate on what the attending doctor was saying. Finally, she received sutures for the lacerations on her arm, which was fractured. A temporary fiberglass splint was applied to immobilize the bone. Once her immediate needs were addressed, she rushed to the operating room where Alessandro's surgery was underway.
Upon arrival, she found Matteo and her mother, Camille, already there. Matteo was speaking with Lucas, and when he spotted Mia, he gave her an empathetic glance. To Matteo, Alessandro was more than just a friend and boss-he was like a brother.
Upon hearing about the Italian don's situation, Matteo had rushed to the hospital. Lucas briefed him on everything that had transpired. Alessandro's men had managed the situation at the site where the gunfire and casualties occurred, while Matteo had taken charge of handling the police.
Camille rushed to her daughter as soon as she saw her.
"Adeline, how are you feeling?" Camille asked, taking a good look at her daughter. Seeing her condition made Camille's heart ache, and tears brimmed in her eyes.
Mia shook her head. Her eyes also began to glisten. She hugged her mother tightly, and the dam of her control broke; she sobbed, embracing Camille with all her strength as if she were her anchor.
"How are you, Mom?" Mia whispered, still holding her mother. She blamed herself for everything that ad happened, feeling responsible for Henry's actions and the harm he had caused to so many people.
"I'm fine, sweetie. Don't worry," Camille murmured as she pulled away and wiped Mia's cheeks, though fresh tears again rolled down Mia's cheeks.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Camille looked at her daughter helplessly and felt she needed to know what had happened.
She began to explain, "As soon as the attackers left, the hotel staff came to our rescue, and Alexander arrived soon after Everyone was quickly brought to the hospital and fortunately no one was critically

harmed." Her words made Mia sigh with a bit less guilt
"But then we realized you were missing, and the search began. It would have taken a lot of time to find you if Alessandro hadn't come forward with the information," Camille added.
"Alessandro?!" Mia gasped, recalling how he had appeared like a superhero and saved her.
"Yeah, Alessandro. I know he was in the dungeon, but somehow he managed to escape and then contacted Alexander, saying he knew where you were taken after the kidnapping. One of his men was following the attackers and led him to where Henry had kept you captive." Camille paused and led Mia to a nearby chair. "I never knew Henry had such dangerous intentions," Camille murmured unconsciously. She still couldn't believe that her husband's own brother had wanted to kill her daughter.
Mia's face turned cold as she recalled Henry's confession of his crimes.
Alexander also approached them, and Mia's eyes lifted to her brother with hope.
Sensing Mia's unspoken concern, Alexander spoke before she could ask, "The operation is still ongoing. Let's wait until the surgery is successfully completed."
Mia nodded, looking at her brother with hope. Alexander's heart fluttered with fear as he saw his sister gazing up at him as if he could fix everything and ensure her husband's recovery. But the truth was, having witnessed so much bloodshed and death in his life, Alexander knew that given Alessandro's critical condition, the chances of survival were very slim.
"I have to tell you something," Mia said, addressing her mother and brother. Both Camille and Alexander's attentive gazes were fixed on her.
"Henry confessed that he was the one who orchestrated my kidnapping twenty-seven years ago and killed Father when he caught him red-handed."
Camille gasped loudly upon hearing this shocking revelation. She couldn't believe she had been supporting the man who was responsible for her family's downfall.
"Motherfucker!" Alexander cursed, clenching his teeth. "I regret that he died such an easy and simple death. I wish I could bring him back just to give him a death so gruesome that his soul would fear even reincarnation. He left this earth without paying for his sins," he spat out as his voice dripped with disgust and fury.
Just then, the door to the operating room opened, and the surgeon stepped out, looking frantic. Mia's heart sank at the sight of the doctor's cold, expressionless face.
