Chapter 166: Evelyn is about to wake up

Going out for dinner was a good idea, and it also provided an opportunity for Isabella to chat with Pippo about Evelyn's situation. They found a restaurant near the hospital and sat down for a meal.

"Isabella, how have you been lately? Evelyn mentioned that you were in trouble, and she’s been hesitant to contact you,” Pippo inquired.

"I'm doing okay. My mother and stepfather both passed away, but the crisis has been averted. It shouldn't be that dangerous in the future," Isabella replied

Even though Frederick's nephew had escaped, Isabella felt that Emanuele had dismantled their influence. If they dared to invade Chicago again, Emanuele would undoubtedly take severe action against them. They now had sufficient weapons, equipment. and personnel. Isabella was confident that Emanuele wouldn't allow tragedy to strike again.

"Things are resolved..." Pippo echoed Isabella's words and then smiled. “Congratulations, Isabella. You don't have to worry anymore. I remember seeing you surrounded by a dozen bodyguards when you went out before. Now, you're free.”

"It's a pity about Evelyn. Otherwise, we could still go shopping often,” Isabella said, thinking about Evelyn lying motionless on the hospital bed, finding it difficult to accept.

Pippo tried to console Isabella, “Don't be sad: she will wake up.” "I hope so."

After finishing their meal, Pippo returned to the hospital, while Isabella, having some thoughts, went to a nearby mall. She bought clothes, bags, and other items that Evelyn liked. Isabella believed that besides physical factors, psychological factors played a rale in someone remaining in a coma. By buying things Evelyn liked, she hoped to strengthen her willpower and maybe help wake her up.

Isabella returned home around nine in the evening. Upon entering, she found Emanuele sitting on the sofa.

"Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?” Emanuele noticed Tony carrying many things behind Isabella "I went to buy some things, planning to give them to Evelyn, hoping she'll wake up soon.”

Emanuele sensed Isabella's sadness and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Don't worry, Isabella. She'll be fine."

Isabella nestled into Emanuele's chest. Only in his arms did she feel her emotions slightly settling. However, the thought of Evelyn lying in the hospital bed still made Isabella sad.

The next day, Isabella went to the hospital again, placing the items she bought at Evelyn's bedside. Emanuele informed her that Evelyn would undergo surgery in the afternoon.

Isabella gently touched Evelyn's arm and whispered, "Evelyn, don't worry. You'll get better soon. When that happens, we'll go eat delicious food and have fun. I have a lot of money now, and I'll buy you anything you want."

Seeing Isabella in this state, Pippo couldn't help but shake his head. Will Evelyn wake up? He hopes she never does. In the afternoon, the team of doctors arranged by Emanuele arrived and successfully performed the surgery on Evelyn.

"If everything goes well, she should wake up in about three days," the professor told Isabella. “However, due to the head trauma, there might be temporary memory loss, and her ears are damaged, possibly affecting her hearing.”

"It's okay, Isabella," Emanuele replied

"Are you getting off work early tonight? I'll cook for you,” Isabella said. It had been a long time since she cooked. She remembered the times when she cooked under Lilly's guidance.

“Okay.” Emanuele agreed immediately. After hanging up the phone, Emanuele looked at Phillip. "Cancel the meeting tonight; I want to go home for dinner.” Phillip looked surprised, "But it's already scheduled, and they're all preparing."

Although they didn't have the habit of working overtime, due to recent busy affairs in the company, Emanuele had a lot of work to arrange, so they had to stay and work late.

Unexpectedly, Emanuele wanted to cancel tonight’s meeting. "My wife is preparing dinner for me. I want to enjoy it when I get back. Phillip, you're not married: you can't understand this feeling."

"Can't it be tonight? I also want to try Mrs. Isabella's cooking.”

"Sorry, it's not possible. You know I'm possessive. I don't want to share this with other men.”

Phillip covered his forehead, deeply sighed, and thought, love really makes people young. Look at their boss, this mature and stable man now turned into this. He doesn't even allow others to eat with them?

After saying that, Emanuele packed up and prepared to go home. He recalled the last time Isabella cooked; Emanuele missed it so much. The speed of driving home was much faster than usual.

Because Isabella knew Emanuele liked beef, she prepared a beef feast for him. Steak, curry stewed beef brisket. beef tenderloin pasta...

Isabella felt like they were going to eat half a cow tonight.
