Chapter 47 The Night In The Hospital

• The fluorescent lights buzzed softly in the sterile hospital room, casting a cold glow over Aemilio's pale face. The plan was the give Amelio's surgery before night comes so they can activate what they had in mind.
• The painkillers coursed through his veins, dulling the ache but not the anxiety that gnawed at him. Bruno sat in the corner, his silhouette a brooding figure against the harsh light. They had agreed to spend the night here, knowing that the danger was far from over. It was a necessary precaution; the hitman who had attempted to take Aemilio's life would likely return.
• Bruno had pretended to leave, the guise of normalcy to throw off any potential observers. He knew that the shadowy figure who had struck would not give up easily. They had already lost too much; Aemilio's life had been hanging by a thread, and they couldn't allow that to happen again. With every tick of the clock, Bruno felt the urgency rise within him.
