บททั้งหมดของ The billionaire's secret son: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Antonella was looking through the fogged-up glass of the old factory when she saw Fabricio arrive with Alessia. Minutes earlier, she lost herself in her memories of hours ago when Benjamim kissed her and confessed that he wanted her close.She couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened. The taste of his kiss was still on her lips. His scent clung to her, making it impossible for her to stop thinking about him for even a second.If love had already been evident before, now it was impossible to avoid feeling something deeper for him.But the scene that followed made her thoughts scatter, and she focused on only one thing: What was Alessia doing at the factory?She quickly left the room, knowing it was a mistake to meet Alessia again just hours after their confrontation. Her head still hurt from the hair-pulling she had endured. She hurried down the iron stairs, hoping to catch sight of them, but by the time she got outside, it was too late.

Antonella shook her head vigorously in denial.They were walking down the hallway while the doctor spoke about Adam’s health issues and the risks he faced if he didn’t undergo proper treatment.Before she could respond, she was hit with another heavy blow: seeing Adam lying in bed with a tube in his nose and wires spread across his small body. He tilted his head to the side, and his small eyes met hers. The boy smiled when he saw his mother.Antonella’s eyes filled with tears, but she refused to cry in front of him. This was not the time to show weakness.“Mommy,” his voice sounded with excitement, but Adam was too weak to get up.Antonella approached and smiled. A forced smile, pulling at her cheeks because what she really wanted to do at that moment was cry. She bent down, kissing his still pale cheeks, and then, looking into his eyes, she asked:“How are you feeling?” She dreaded hearing the answer, but was brave enough to ask.“I’m tired,” he said, “and weak too.”What he said was

Clearly hearing the doctor’s words this time, her face crumbled in pain and despair. He was explaining to Antonella the numerous treatment possibilities Adam would go through, but it was as if she couldn’t hear him. It was as if the fear of losing her son completely blinded her.Noticing that Antonella grew paler each time the doctor delved deeper into the subject, Dominique grabbed her and took her away. It was hard for her to watch her three-year-old son, who has such a serious illness, without being able to do anything to save him.“You need to go home and rest,” Dominique suggested. “I can stay with Adam today and alternate with my mom.”“I’m not going anywhere,” she snapped, ready to return to her son’s side, but Dominique stopped her.“You need to be well to take care of him,” she insisted. “You have to take care of yourself too.”“I’ve been away from him too long already, and look where my son ended up,” she growled, her face flushed, and a tear rolled down her cheeks. “I’m sca

Lying on the hospital bed, Antonella submitted to a blood draw to test her compatibility with Adam. Enrico followed the same procedure. Though the chances for both were slim, Antonella was determined to keep faith in Adam.“When will we know the results?” Antonella asked quickly.“In a few days,” the doctor said, exhaling sharply. “But finding a donor could take months. Can we test anyone else in the family?”Enrico and Antonella exchanged glances, as if the question had the same effect on both of them.“I have a sister,” Antonella said, and Enrico shook his head in denial. “We can convince her to take the test.”“We can’t,” Enrico interrupted suddenly. “You heard what she said this morning. Do you really think Alessia would agree to help save Adam’s life?”Enrico’s perception of Alessia made Antonella’s hair stand on end. She hadn’t been thinking clearly when she suggested it, but Adam’s life was in danger, and Antonella would even humble herself before her younger sister if it meant

Dominique ended the call, closing her eyes as she felt her heart sink into her chest. She recognized the tone of the voice when Benjamim was angry. Something had happened for him to act that way.An unexpected touch on her shoulder startled her. When she turned around, she found Antonella sobbing; her face drenched in tears.It was inevitable to think the worst. She felt Antonella’s body lean forward, enveloping her in a long, tight hug. Given the situation, it would be impossible to follow Benjamim’s orders to be at the company before his arrival.She couldn’t leave and abandon Antonella.“What happened?” She held Antonella’s shoulders, pulling her back to look into her eyes.Antonella had the words stuck in her throat, refusing to come out. A sob caught her every time she thought of Adam’s condition, which was worsening day by day. It was as if life had drained him of all hope, leaving nothing for him to
