Chapter 171 - CHAPTER 168

Zeke stood at a large window looking out at the other end of the mansion. 

Zeke stayed in the east side of the mansion and at the other end, which was the West end stayed Elisio with Sabrina.

Zeke was in deep thought when he felt two hands circling him from behind.

"Don't think too much. You will spoil your health" said Ambryl.

"How can I not think? It's been almost a month and Sabrina's health has not improved. And Elisio." Said Zeke and couldn't continue further.

"The doctor's say she may not get up" said Ambryl and didn't hear Zeke say anything.

She peeked up front and saw Zeke simply staring at Elisio's side of the mansion.

Ambryl knew she couldn't make Zeke talk. But she knew who would be able to make him talk.

"Thank you for coming" said Ambryl to Sarah.

"I don't understand. Why can't you speak to Zeke? He is your husband." Said Sarah.

"I tried. He is just not saying anything" said Ambryl and continued "I want you and Zeke to go talk to Elisio together. Please" cried Ambryl.

"Please don't do water work in front of me. You won't get any sympathy." said Sarah and walked away from Ambryl to meet Zeke.

Ambryl looked at Sarah leave and whispered "and people wonder who Elisio is like. He is so his mother's son" to herself.

Sarah saw Zeke seated in his study and though the door was open she knocked on the door.

Zeke looks up and sees Sarah and smiles and stands up.

"Your wife thinks we as Elisio's parents should go talk to Elisio" 

"She called you?" Asked Zeke.

"She is a better mother to Elisio and a much better wife to you than I could ever be" said Sarah.

"You are good in your place and she is perfect in her own way. She is worried for Elisio." Said Zeke.

"And she is worried for you too" said Sarah and went close to Zeke and held his hand in her hand.

Zeke looked down at their joined hands and shed tears and said "I can't lose Elisio and Sabrina like I lost my parents" 

"We won't lose Elisio and Sabrina" said Sarah and Zeke looks up at Sarah and asks "how are you not crying?"

"I don't cry on things which haven't happened yet. Sabrina is alive and so is Elisio" said Sarah.

Zeke smiled and said "Ambryl knew what I needed. I needed your practical approach on things. And yes we shouldn't cry on things which haven't happened yet"

"Good. And I think we should give Elisio his time with Sabrina. Talking about what can happen or not will only bore him." Said Sarah.

"Yes" said Zeke and smiled at Sarah.

"You can leave her hand now" said Ambryl coming in the study.

"You are old now. He is old now. Get over your jealousy" Said Sarah.

"He is still mine" said Ambryl and walked to Zeke and hugged him.

Sarah left Zeke's hand and smiled at Ambryl and said "you are perfect for him"

"I know" said Ambryl and Zeke kissed Ambryl's forehead.

After Ermanno left with the kids after breakfast. Rose went to Elisio's side of the mansion and asked the maids if he had his breakfast.

"No, he has not. He hasn't come down yet" said the maid.

Rose knew Elisio was not eating well so she had prepared a complete English breakfast and told the maid to serve it for her and bring it up to his room.

Maid was hesitant but nodded. 

Rose went up to Elisio's room and knocked and waited.

Elisio opened the door and saw Rose and closed the door on her face.

Rose rolled her eyes and turned the knob and got in the room.

Elisio was walking away from the door but then turned around and looked at Rose and said "get out. I don't like people in my room"

"I am not people I am your daughter-in-law. And what is it with you? Why aren't you ready? Aren't you going to office or... A.. You were waiting for me to take me to see Harry and burn his d.i.c.k?" Said Rose.

Elisio looked at Rose irritated and said "f.u.c.k off" and was about to sit on his chair near Sabrina but Rose ran and sat on it.

"That's my place" said Elisio.

"Nope. Your place is there" said Rose and pointed at the sitting area.

Elisio looked at where Rose was pointing and then a maid knocked on the door and Rose left the chair and opened the door.

She took the breakfast from the maid and kept it in the centre table and pulled the table close to the couch with a lot of difficulty.

She stood up and said "the table is heavy" and panted.

"It's marble. What would you expect" said Elisio.

"You could help me, you know" said Rose.

"I don't encourage stupidity" said Elisio and was going to walk to sit back on his chair but Rose ran and stood in front of Elisio.

Elisio was going to say something but Rose turned to Sabrina and said "mummy, If your husband dies without eating before you wake up. Then I am not responsible. I am telling you now. I am trying to feed him but he doesn't want to see you wake up by staying alive and wants to starve to death. Again, I am not responsible" 

Elisio looked at Sabrina and Rose turned to look at Elisio looking at Sabrina and said "she would be sad seeing you all thin and all. She wouldn't like you like this. When she wakes up, you need your strength to take care of her." 

Elisio looked at Rose and nodded.

Elisio walked to the food and opened the lid on the plate and narrowed his eyes on Rose.

Rose hid her mouth with her hands and giggled.

"You made sausages" stated Elisio.

"Yep. I was thinking d.i.c.ks" said Rose.

"You have a dark sense of humour" said Elisio and sat down to eat.

"Dad" called Rose and Elisio ignored her.

"I like you" said Rose and Elisio looked at her and said "feelings not mutual" 

"It's okay. I still like you. I want to write a book on you. Want to know what I'll name it?" Said Rose and Elisio didn't answer.

"MIO FIORE" said Rose.

Elisio stoped eating and looked at Rose and Rose said "no one can write your story without mummy in it"

Elisio sat back and said "my life starts with my fiore and ends with her" and looked down and picked his coffee to drink.

Rose knew the meaning behind Elisio's words. 

Every single person in the mansion knew if Sabrina dies so does Elisio.

After breakfast Elisio dressed in black jeans and black t-shirt, black hoody and black boots. 

Rose saw him dress like that and said "I'll be back in a minute. Don't leave without me" and ran out of his room to her villa.

Elisio saw her run away and smiled.

He walked towards Sabrina and held her hand in his and kissed it and said "do you think if we had a daughter she would be crazy like her. I mean Ermanno is a lot like you. If we had a daughter she would be like me, right? She would be like Rose." And smiled and continued "see fiore, I am warming up to her. Get up and see it yourself. See me trying to be a family guy. I promise I'll not try to kill her and I also called back the sharp shooter I hired to keep an eye on Rose and kill her if she tried hurting Ermanno or the kids"

"WHAT? You hired a sharp shooter to keep an eye on Rose?" Asked Ambryl standing at the doorway of his bedroom.

"Why are people in my room all the time?" said Elisio.

"I am not people. I am your f.u.c.k.i.n.g step mother/ best friend" said Ambryl.

"Now where have I heard that?" Said Elisio rolling his eyes and continued "stay with my fiore and I'll be back soon. Don't let anyone in" 

Elisio leaned in and kissed Sabrina's forehead and said "I'll be back soon my love"

"Elisio, did the doctor talk to you?" Asked Ambryl.

Elisio caressed Sabrina's cheek and said "yes. He said I should think of removing her from the machine. She is not responding to any medication. And her breathing has not improved either."

"What did you say?" Asked Ambryl.

Elisio looked at Ambryl and said "I'll think about it"

"You are going to remove her from the machine?" Asked Ambryl.

Elisio smiled and said "I said I'll think about it. I didn't say I will"

"What?" Asked Ambryl confused.

Elisio went towards Ambryl and kissed her forehead and said "Dr Atkins is an useless asshole. I have called Dr Schmidt from Germany. He works in our medical research team in Germany and I am positive he will try really hard to make my fiore better"

Ambryl smiled and said "then why isn't he here yet?" 

"He will be here by today afternoon" said Elisio and Ambryl hugged him and said "I can't wait for to wake up".

"Me too" said Elisio.
