Giovanna struggled to stay conscious. While she was half-awake, she felt Antony’s warm hands grab her and take her somewhere she couldn’t see. In the end, she passed out, and when she woke up, she was already in the hospital. The scent of disinfectant made her nauseous. She immediately placed her hand on her stomach, and as soon as she opened her eyes, the first face she saw was Antony’s.He was talking to the doctor and didn’t notice when she woke up. Soon, she didn’t see him anymore. When she managed to sit up on the bed, she saw a male figure running towards her to help. It was Andreas. Giovanna remembered seeing him before everything happened; she just couldn’t recall why she ended up in that hospital.Andreas held her hand before saying, “Are you okay?” The pain in her head was so intense that she could hardly think. “What happened?” Her hands trembled. “How is my baby?”When she remembered the baby, the pain in her chest intensified. “Don’t worry, Giovanna, the baby is fine,” he

“Who could do this to Giovanna?” Ricardo’s eyes met Antony’s, but he seemed not to pay attention to anything.“Surely the same woman who tried to run her over,” declared Xavier.At that moment, Antony felt a shiver run through his body as he remembered the nurse who seemed to hide when she saw him approaching. Antony was sure he saw her leaving Giovanna’s room.“How do you know it was a woman?” Ricardo asked, when Antony’s eyes blinked for a moment before eagerly awaiting the response.“Andreas assured me it was a woman behind the wheel,” Antony replied.Antony felt surprised, but he couldn't find the words to express himself. It was as if the words were stuck in his throat, suffocating him every time he thought more about it.There was a brief pause before the chat was flooded with question marks about whom that woman might be.“Stop these questions,” Antony reprimanded the men with such severity, leaving them shocked. “the only thing that matters here is saving Giovanna and my child

Seeing the restless expression on Antony’s face, Giovanna could only think of the worst. Consumed by fear, she curled up on the small bed and, with a gesture, grabbed his hands.“I know she tried to kill me, Antony,” the words almost got lost in her breathlessness, as if Giovanna was having difficulty breathing, “don’t report Irma. She hasn’t overcome Gina’s death yet.”“And because of that, she wants to kill the only remaining daughter?” It was clear that Antony couldn’t accept that, “but I should have been prepared for this.”“What are you talking about?” A furrow formed on her forehead.Antony thought that maybe it would be better not to tell Giovanna the whole truth. She seemed so tired and weak and certainly needed rest to recover as quickly as possible. The emotions of that day had already been enough for her.“Let’s talk about it later,” he averted his gaze away from hers and stepped back, breaking any contact, “you need to rest, for the sake of our son.”“Will you at least do

Andreas looked at Antony, whose face was twisted with hatred. What was it about Matteo that made his half-brother hate him so much? He observed the secretary entering with a tray in trembling hands. She would surely drop it at any moment, worsening Antony’s mood.“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this,” he grabbed Valeria’s hands, supporting the tray, while smiling at Antony.Antony shot a questioning glance at Andreas, asking about his true intentions. He watched him pour a glass and serve it, while Ricardo left the office in complete silence. Better this way, Antony wasn’t in the mood to deal with another traitor. Andreas had already placed the glass on his desk and was eagerly waiting to talk with his half-brother.By the way, half-brother was a term that Andreas simply hated. He didn’t see Antony that way, even though they were only brothers on their father’s side; to him, a brother was a brother, no more, no less.He saw Antony impatiently look at him, as if reading his thoughts, and the

On his bad days, Antony was cruel, but on that day, he decided to put on a smile and completely ignore the woman’s immaturity. It had to be pregnancy driving Giovanna baffling; there was no other explanation, he thought. Still, he looked at the two and pretended not to care as Matteo embraced his wife.Giovanna’s face turned red, and she widened her eyes at Antony, knowing she had committed a great folly. As she approached him, she saw him turn his back and, in a cold tone, say to her, “Since you’ve concluded what you wanted here, you can go back home,” he sat at his desk in front of her but avoided looking into her eyes, “I’ll have my driver take you.”Giovanna swallowed all the words on the tip of her tongue and turned to leave. Although she knew Antony was furious, he didn’t show it, leaving her quite confused.“You stay, Matteo,” his voice interrupted the man’s intentions, who stopped still in front of the door, watching Giovanna leave while he stayed alone with his great enemy.M
