Dominic arrived at the hospital, his anger replaced with worry when he saw the doctor speaking to Delfina and Marianna.
"The child has been poisoned with a substance that was meant to kill him instantly. As of the moment, he's out of danger but there's a great chance he will slip into a comatose state."
His heart dropped to the floor.
Gabriele, in a comatose state. His little boy was going to be in a comatose state. He only found out about him a few months ago. They hadn't even shared enough memories for him to leave so early.
"But don't worry, everything is going to be fine, Miss," the doctor added, his tone carrying assurance but Delfina's heart had already dropped to her stomach.
"Can I see him?" She asked.
"You can."
After sharing a few more words, the doctor excused himself to do his rounds.
Delfina opened the door and stepped inside, finding Gabriele. His small frame lay on the bed with so much medical equipment attached to him like a life support.
Her baby.
