Semua Bab The Ruthless Mafia: Bab 221 - Bab 230

“Those two dinners. Was one of them for my brother?”Svanna had just settled back into the seat, but she understood how Orlando had waited for the right moment to ask.“Yes. I haven’t seen him touch a single bite of food since he suddenly showed up at my house,” she said, with a faint smile as Orlando started the car.“Have you forgiven him, Sister-in-law?Still the same question from the same person. Svanna glanced at Orlando’s back, trying to restrain herself from getting riled up. She didn’t know; nor did she understand how her feelings worked. There was a feeling of annoyance—one she couldn’t shake every time she remembered Nightroe’s mistake—but sometimes… her sympathy for the man was far greater. She didn’t know; she also didn’t want to keep feeling sorry for him, but something inside her was often too afraid. To the point where she could barely explain what she actually wanted.“He’s already regretted his past mistakes. He promised to change. Why not try g

Either she’d spent too long in the bathroom—cleaning herself and changing clothes—or Nightroe had left as quickly as possible once common sense had returned to the man. Svanna tried not to think about anything else. She just hoped everything would turn out all right after she’d managed to vent all her anger in front of Nightroe. It was so quiet here. She walked cautiously, taking in the entire room. The silence was deafening until her heart gave a loud thud when she found her keys lying motionless on the bed. Had Nightroe changed his mind and decided not to do anything else here? Good. Svanna immediately snatched the object and placed it in the nightstand drawer. Work was waiting. She had to get ready, but she wouldn’t skip breakfast. The kitchen was her first stop. Svanna was going to toast some bread, but an unexpected sight easily caught her attention, making her stop. Someone had clearly just been busy in the kitchen and had intentionally left

Perhaps it was time to take their relationship more seriously. Svanna was truly about to give up. She had no idea what was on Nightroe’s mind. It had been three days since he had quietly decided to leave her home and never return.However, there was no denying that work on the vacant lot—which was under construction—was still proceeding as usual. It was just that, this time, there was no direct supervision from him. Svanna didn’t know if that would bring her peace or if… she should prepare herself to face the overwhelming fear within her.“You’re daydreaming again, Anna?”Suddenly, Heldfan’s voice snapped her back to reality. Svanna blinked, then quickly offered a faint smile to the middle-aged man. She didn’t want her father to feel the impact if she kept acting this way.“Daydreaming is the most enjoyable thing when it’s quiet, Papa. I can think of many ideas for my flower bouquets later.”Svanna wasn’t entirely lying. Daydreaming while imagining what she could

Russol Sullivan’s men had indeed managed to retrieve Nightroe, but Svanna found no peace upon seeing the man return in such a terrible state.Nightroe’s face was incredibly pale. The gunshot wounds on various parts of his body could not be ignored. Meanwhile, the doctor said they needed a rather rare blood type—O negative—because Nightroe had lost so much blood.“Just take my blood.”Svanna shouldn’t have been surprised when Orlando’s voice was the first to be heard. They were siblings. They shared the same blood. Besides, the doctor immediately agreed to the compatibility test.“Calm down, Anna. He’ll be fine.”Perhaps Heldfan knew what she was feeling, even though something inside Svanna was urging her to hide everything from everyone. They could clearly see that she still cared so deeply for Nightroe.“He’s badly injured. What if he doesn’t make it?”Svanna could hear for herself how bitter her voice sounded. So many images flashed through her mind of

An electric shock seemed to run through Svanna, causing a sharp jolt down her spine. It had only been a moment since she’d decided to grab lunch at the cafeteria, and when she returned to Nightroe’s hospital room, he was nowhere to be seen.Where had Nightroe gone?Fear still lingered, but Svanna quickly scanned the entire room, even checking the bathroom just to see if Nightroe was there or not.Empty....Svanna’s fear grew like a rolling tidal wave. She wondered if Nightroe had regained consciousness? Perhaps the worst part... someone had taken the man away just to settle their unfinished business. Shouldn’t the desire to eliminate Don Sullivan have ended in failure, since they could still see Nightroe breathing?Svanna could barely think of anything, but she hurriedly pushed herself—to make even the smallest effort—to find the man’s whereabouts immediately.She didn’t know why, but her instinct led Svanna to approach the glass window. She could see everyth
