Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Isabella loves Emanuele and understands him very well. It should be said that after being together for so long, they truly understand each other. Isabella also understands Emanuele very well. Therefore, he would definitely seek someone to understand the situation, wanting to know why she would say such words.

Luckily, she had already informed the doctor in advance. This matter shouldn’t be shared with anyone, not even Emanuele. As for Tony and the others, although they accompanied her for the examination, they only stood outside the door and were not clear about the specific situation.

“Tony, did anything happen while I was away?” Emanuele inquired in the hospital corridor.

At this moment, he felt like a defeated lion, body covered in wounds, his heart seemingly injured and aching.

“Nothing happened. Madam did not leave the house, her friends occasionally came to visit her, but she said that she had her body re-examined and the doctor said her body condition is quite good. According to the doctor, with the passage of time, Madam’s body will surely recover,” Tony replied.

Upon hearing Tony’s words, Emanuele became even more confused. If that’s the case, what exactly was Isabella’s intention in doing this? Was she truly afraid of being hurt and wanted to distance herself from him? If it wasn’t external interference, then it must be her genuine intention. Emanuele knew he couldn’t stop Isabella. He also knew that for so long, he hadn’t truly protected Isabella; he had always let her get hurt. But to let her leave, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Thinking this, Emanuele turned and left. He should go to work, keep himself busy, forget about this matter. Once forgotten, he could pretend as if nothing had happened at all.

Isabella had been waiting for Emanuele to confirm with her, but after waiting for several days, she still hadn’t seen him. She went from being heartbroken to becoming angry. Damn it, could Emanuele be avoiding her? It was possible, but she couldn’t imagine that at such a critical time, he would choose to evade her. She also knew Emanuele’s mindset. If she suddenly proposed leaving him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it. After all, their relationship had no problems, they still loved each other. Before he went to Europe, she had supported all his decisions. She hadn’t expected that shortly after Emanuele’s return, she would propose a divorce. But she knew she had to do it. She was currently very sad and upset, but she still had to do it. She needed to leave Emanuele.

Isabella called Emanuele, “Emanuele, it’s been three days. Can you make a decision as soon as possible?”

“No rush, Isabella. I have a lot of work to handle on my end, and your body needs to fully recover. It will take at least a few more months. I want to wait until you are completely better before you leave,” Emanuele responded.

Upon hearing Emanuele’s words, Isabella knew he was procrastinating. She couldn’t help but grit her teeth, thinking how cunning Emanuele was to come up with a way to stall for time. It was infuriating!

“It’s okay. My current physical condition allows me to be discharged and recover at home. I want to leave the hospital,” she said.

“No, Isabella. Regardless of anything, your body was hurt because of me. Even if we divorce, I still have a responsibility. So, I must wait until your body is completely better before I can let you go.”

Upon hearing Emanuele’s words, Isabella found Emanuele extremely annoying. “Emanuele, I am an adult now. You don’t need to worry so much about me. Can you let me go?”

The more Isabella spoke, the more impatient she felt. She really hoped to leave quickly. She was afraid that if Emanuele continued to stall and treat her well, she would soften. She couldn’t afford to soften. She had lost her ability to bear children, and she and Emanuele didn’t have any children. If she didn’t leave, it wouldn’t be good for Emanuele, nor for herself. She really couldn’t wait to leave. Emanuele, listening to Isabella’s words, felt his face grow very cold. He unknowingly tightened his grip on the phone, feeling as if he could crush it to control his emotions.

“Isabella, rest assured, there’s no need to be in a hurry. When your body is better, I will let you go.”

Damn it, he didn’t want Isabella to leave. However, Isabella was now eager to leave. What could he do? He didn’t want Isabella to leave, not one bit. But he hadno choice. Isabella wanted to leave, and she seemed resolute. If he kept Isabella by his side, she would only suffer more, and he couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

Upon hearing Emanuele’s words, Isabella furrowed her brow, but she didn’t say anything further and hung up the phone.

After some thought, Emanuele ultimately decided to call Evelyn to inquire about the situation.

“Evelyn, have you noticed anything unusual about Isabella these past few days? Why did she suddenly ask for a divorce as soon as I returned?” Emanuele asked.

Listening to Emanuele’s question, Evelyn took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the urge to tell Emanuele everything.

“Nothing, really. I was at the hospital with Isabella before, and I didn’t notice anything unusual.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“But why would she want a divorce?”

“Emanuele, to be honest, I think Isabella wants a divorce because she feels that her current life is too dangerous. God, just think about how many times she has been through such crises. This time was the most serious; she almost got killed in the explosion. When I saw her, my heart ached for her. She was covered in wounds, not a single part of her was unharmed. I was heartbroken, let alone her. She must also feel a lot of pain. Isabella definitely fears going through such a thing again. Emanuele, if you really care for her, I hope you will let her go.”

This was also something Isabella had instructed Evelyn to say. Although she didn’t want to say it, she had to. She knew she shouldn’t lie, but deep down, she also felt that it might be good for Isabella to leave Emanuele. At least she wouldn’t have to experience so much danger anymore. Moreover, with the divorce, Isabella could receive half of Emanuele’s assets, enough for her to live happily for the rest of her life. And Emanuele needed a woman who was on par with him in terms of strength and who could still bear children. Evelyn felt that Isabella’s decision was actually quite good.
