2024-07-29 02:30:00"The doctor said... for now, Mom needs plenty of rest. This week, he will examine her heart condition in more detail. Fortunately, Mr. Franklin brought her to the hospital quickly, so they could take immediate action."
Henry explained his mother's condition to Amora.
Emma Adams was conscious, but she couldn't talk much. Her face still looked very pale. She was still under the care of nurses and doctors.
Amora's eyes gazed at Emma's weary face lying on the stretcher. Her heart ached to see the elderly woman with an oxygen mask to aid her breathing.
Several tubes were attached to Emma's chest, connected to medical devices Amora didn't understand.
Rayden approached Emma. He carefully held the elderly woman's fingers. His small eyes looked at Emma sorrowfully.
"Grandma, get well soon. Ray promises not to be naughty and make you upset. You can watch your favorite

The Mafia's Dangerous Desire   Chapter 84 - Exposing Misunderstandings
Amora's eyes widened. She looked at Hilde with confusion."What do you mean, Hilde? Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever do that?" Amora retorted, equally fiercely.She was starting to get angry, thinking Hilde was making up statements to tarnish her reputation.Hilde's lips curled into a sneer. "Why? Do you forget falling down the stairs and I was accused of being the perpetrator?"Amora gasped. She recalled the incident that happened many years ago.Amora had indeed fallen down the school stairs, resulting in a broken ankle and needing hospital treatment.For almost a week, Amora didn't attend school, and when she returned, she only heard that Hilde had transferred to another school. However, she never suspected that the reason Hilde transferred was related to her small accident!"Why would you say that? What's the connection between my

“I'm sorry, Hilde. I really had no idea you went through something so tough back then,” said Amora with deep sympathy.She sincerely apologized from the bottom of her heart for the events Hilde had experienced several years ago.Even though Amora knew her apology was very late, she felt it was necessary.Hilde cleared her throat softly. She felt a bit awkward because she didn't expect Amora to acknowledge the mistake she had denied some time ago.“Do you think apologizing will make any difference?” Hilde said nervously. She found Amora's sudden friendliness strange.Amora smiled softly. “I know it won't change anything, but I hope you can accept it. And if you really want to do something, I guess you now have the upper hand since you have everything. Isn't that right, Hilde Maven?”“Don't call me by that family name a

"All your organs seem to be in good condition. But you should pay more attention to your diet, Regis. Your stomach acid levels are quite high. So, watch your eating habits and get to bed earlier every night."James Ritter—the Lorenzo family’s personal doctor—explained the results of Regis's full-body medical check-up from a few days ago.James noted some important points in Regis’s patient records, and then prescribed for him to pick up at the pharmacy."This is a prescription for stomach medication you can take if you feel your stomach isn't doing well. I’m also giving you additional vitamins you should take regularly. It's best if you take them consistently."Regis sighed deeply upon hearing the usual long lecture from his personal doctor."I know, Professor Ritter," Regis replied indifferently.James gave a slight smile. "You really haven't

Regis had just left James Ritter’s office. He walked down the corridor towards the elevator. But his steps halted when he saw the woman he had been looking for.Amora Lysander stood in front of the elevator with a gloomy face. She seemed deep in thought, not noticing Regis now standing beside her."Ahem!" Regis cleared his throat softly to get her attention.But Amora remained still, her head bowed as she looked at the old phone in her hand.Regis glanced at her with his sharp eyes, a slight smile curling on his lips. “Amora Lysander,” he called.Reflexively, Amora looked up, raising her hand and exclaiming, “Yes!”“Pfftt!”Regis struggled to hold back his laughter at Amora’s silly reaction. He hadn’t expected her to be so startled by his call.Amora’s eyes m

"You can call me if you need help taking care of Mrs. Adams, Henry. I'll help you as much as I can."Amora made this promise to Emma's son before she left with Rayden. She couldn't leave without feeling responsible. They were outside Emma’s hospital room.Hilde stood next to Henry with a sharp look, but she said nothing. Amora ignored her, knowing that Hilde disliked her presence there.Even though they had resolved their misunderstanding, Hilde still couldn’t let go of her anger and hatred toward Amora. It wasn’t easy for her to forget those bad memories.Amora also didn’t want to prolong her conflict with Hilde. She decided to act normally.Right now, Amora’s main concern was Emma’s condition. Even though she couldn’t help financially, she was sincere in offering her assistance to take care of Emma.That’s wha

"Why are you still here, Uncle?" Rayden asked with curiosity and a hint of worry in his voice.Regis was pleased with the boy's response."I'm waiting for you," Regis replied, glancing at Amora, who still looked upset.Rayden's eyes widened in disbelief at the answer.On the other hand, Amora shot a sharp look at Regis. "Didn't you say you'd wait in the lobby? I thought you'd changed your mind," she said coldly.Regis let out a small chuckle. He could sense the annoyance in the woman's voice towards him. However, this only made her more intriguing to him."I was looking for you upstairs. I thought you’d take a while, but you came down first. We just missed each other."Hearing Regis's explanation, Rayden turned to his mother, seemingly asking about what had happened without his knowledge.Amora cleared her throa

"Wow! Are we really staying here tonight, Mom?"Rayden exclaimed in awe at the sight before him. He had just stepped out of the taxi with his mother and his superhero uncle.They were standing in front of a towering skyscraper, glowing with beautiful lights. This tall building was the most elite five-star hotel in New York City.It was Rayden's first time stepping into such a grand building, filled with high-class interiors and decorations. The floor beneath him was so shiny that he feared his worn-out shoes might dirty it."Mom." Rayden tugged at his mother's sleeve.Amora turned to him. She could see the worry in her son's eyes. For them, coming to such a luxurious place felt overwhelming.Although Amora had visited this hotel several times before, it was always for important events with her socialite friends or accompanying Chris, her former fiancé.

Amora didn't answer. She hurried to catch up with Rayden, pretending not to hear Regis's words.In her heart, Amora couldn't deny that she was happy to receive such luxurious accommodations. Especially seeing Rayden so excited because it was a new experience for him.However, Amora didn't want to get carried away with luxury that wasn't hers. She thought about finding a new place to live as soon as possible tomorrow so that Rayden wouldn't get too attached and spoiled by 'luxury' and 'power.'Regis quickly followed them into the grand building. The two guards at the door immediately straightened up to greet Regis.Two receptionists, a woman and a man, standing at the front desk, also greeted Regis and gave him a small nod as a sign of respect.Regis returned their nod with a slight one, then approached Rayden, who was exploring the spacious hotel lobby.The t

Seeing the deep regret on Amoraâs face, Regis let out a sharp sigh. He hadnât meant to scold her. He just wanted her to understand how her actions affected them both.Regis tried to keep his emotions in check, not wanting to lash out. He knew Amora was clearly torn and dealing with a difficult inner conflict.âHavenât I told you time and time again not to carry everything on your own, Amora?â Regis reminded her gently.Amora didnât respond. Her head remained lowered until Regis reached out, cupped her chin, and lifted her face so their eyes could meet again.The look in Regis's eyes, which looked shady and sad, made Amora feel both comforted and hurt because she felt guilty for hurting him with the divorce papers sheâd filed.âIâm your husband, Amora. Didnât we agree to face all our struggles together? Canât you give me just a little time to prove that I can turn this around without asking you to sacrifice everything?â Regis asked, his voice soft but full of emotion.He still believed

Regis and Amora had just entered their rented house, but Regis was still gripping his wifeâs wrist tightly, causing her to wince in pain.âRegis, didnât you hear me? Let go of my hand!â Amora snapped, clearly annoyed at being dragged around by her husband.The sound of the bedroom door slamming made Amora jump. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the fury in Regisâs eyes.Amora swallowed hard and muttered, âThat hurts, Regis.âSeeing how helpless she looked, Regis finally let go of her wrist. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the red marks left by his grip.Even though guilt started to creep in, Regis didnât say anything. He still couldnât bring himself to forgive what Amora had done.His lips curled into a bitter smirk as he glanced at the small suitcase behind her. âSo youâre leaving, huh? Who told you to do that?âHis voice was laced with a mix of anger and disappointment. Amora nervously bit her lip, slowly lowering her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.âWhy are you quiet? A

âDid you bring what my boss asked for?â Pablo asked, his expression completely unchanged.Amora looked down at the document in her hands, her heart heavy. The papers were divorce papersâsomething she had prepared at Diegoâs request, and a requirement to get Rayden accepted into the Lorenzo family.The truth was, she still wasnât ready to divorce Regis. But the pressure and threats from Diego had completely worn her down. Unlike Diego, she held no power. And more than anything, she didnât want to see Regis crushed under the weight of his own father.âMiss, my boss isnât someone who breaks his promises. Heâll accept your son as part of the Lorenzo family, just like he said. Your sacrifice wonât be in vain,â Pablo assured her on his employerâs behalf.Hearing that, Amora felt something heavy lift from her chest. âIâm sorry, Ray. I know I made this decision on my own, but I believe one day, youâll understand this was the best thing I could do for you,â she thought.Amora handed the docume

"See you later, Mom. Donât forget to come, okay?" Rayden said as he said goodbye to his mother.They had just finished breakfast, and Regis was the one taking their son to school. Amora had claimed she needed to finish some housework first so she could fully enjoy the event Rayden was participating in later.Amora only gave a small nod to her sonâs words. She kissed his forehead lightly and murmured, "Take care of yourself, Ray."Rayden frowned. "Iâm not gonna hurt myself, Mom," he replied, assuming she was still worried about his archery performance later.Amora gave a faint smile. Her eyes shifted to Regis, who was looking at her with a meaningful gaze. But she quickly looked away and said, "Go on, or you'll be late.""Come on, Dad! Letâs go!" Rayden called out as he grabbed his backpack."What is it?" Amora asked, puzzled, when she noticed Regis still hadnât moved from his spot, even though their son had already jogged toward the door."Arenât you forgetting something?" Regis asked

âMaybe Albert and the others were right. The more I stay silent, the more Father will keep using his power to pressure Amora. I need to put a stop to thisâfast,â Regis thought to himself.His face was filled with distress. His mind was racing with plans he had crafted with his loyal subordinates. Heâd originally planned to check in on his wife, but changed his mind and stood up, needing to confirm something first before taking any action.Meanwhile, Amora sat silently on the edge of her bed, staring at her phone screen, her thoughts consumed by the message she had just received.Tears streamed steadily down her cheeks. She covered her mouth with one hand to muffle her sobs so no one outside her room could hear her crying.She quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand and looked again at the message on her screen. It was from Chris. He had saved her number without her knowing.[Amora, Iâm not sure if youâve found out yet or not âĶ but I just want to say congratulations. Accordin

The sky had already turned dark. Xavier had just left after having dinner with Regisâ small family.Now, Amora was cleaning up the dishes from their meal in the kitchen. Her body felt better after a full day of rest and some vitamins prescribed by the hospital.But mentally, she was still drained. Diegoâs threats continued to haunt her, clouding her thoughts with anxiety and emotional exhaustion.She felt trapped. She had no choice if she wanted to protect her grandmother, but the idea of leaving Regis tore her apart.Part of her wanted to tell Regis everything. But deep down, she feared what he might do if he found out. If he confronted Diego, things could spiral out of control. And the one thing she couldnât risk âĶ was her grandmotherâs life.âWhat am I supposed to do? Should I leave Regis, just for a while, and make sure Grandma is safe first? But if Mr. Lorenzo finds out Iâm lyingâĶ he mightâ'Amora took a deep breath and shook her head hard. âNo. Itâs too risky to lie to him. That

"Albertâs still handling it. But there are a few things that need a deeper review," Regis replied, referring to something he had done behind his familyâs back.Yesterday, Regis held a closed-door meeting with several Royal Dragon subordinatesâat their own request. Albert was the one who arranged the secret meeting. Yes, that man had survived the pursuit of Diego's subordinates.Pedro had also made it out alive, but he wasnât as lucky. Heâd suffered serious injuries and was still recovering. Both men were saved by loyal Royal Dragon members who still supported Regis. To them, Diegoâs recent actions had gone way too far.Lately, Diego had become increasingly authoritarian and ruthless, especially toward those who remained loyal to Regis. Many of them felt like they were living under constant threat.Eventually, they decided to take a stand. They begged Regis to return and reclaim control of the Royal Dragon. They just couldnât stand watching Diego abuse their fellow members any longer.

âThank goodness youâre okay, Amora.âRegisâs voice echoed in Amoraâs ears, followed by the sound of his relieved sigh.Amora had just arrived in front of her rental house. But before her feet even touched the yard, her husband came running out of nowhere and wrapped her in a tight hug.Amora froze in place, confused. She hadnât even seen his face clearly yet, but from the way he held her, she knew Regis had been seriously worried about her.âR-Regis âĶ I canât breathe,â Amora squeaked as he tightened the hug even more.Regis slowly loosened his hold and stepped back. âSorry âĶ I guess I got too excited seeing you.âAmora smiled gently and shook her head. âWhere were you coming from?â she asked him.âShouldnât I be the one asking you that?â Regis shot back, narrowing his eyes at her.Amora swallowed hard. She had expected him to question her. Thankfully, sheâd already come up with an excuse.âDo you have any idea how worried I was when Ray told me youââRegis stopped mid-sentence. He had

"Really?" Amora murmured, clearly seeing through the man's lie."So what if I am? You want to see her or something?" Chris shot back, turning the question on her."No, I was just curious. I heard the Lysander family went bankrupt. She must be devastated, seeing her parents like that," Amora replied softly.Chris fell silent for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, the Lysander family is beyond saving. I never thought my father-in-law would embezzle that much money. Even my dad doesnât want anything to do with him anymore," he explained.Biancaâs position as the Walden familyâs daughter-in-law had taken a serious hit ever since the Lysander Group scandal broke out. Cassandra Winston and her husband were embarrassed to be related to the Lysanders, so they didnât care when Chris mentioned he was thinking of divorcing Bianca.Amora gave Chris a sidelong glance. He clearly didnât want to go into detail about Bianca, but from what he said, she could tell things werenât going well for Bianca in t
