Gael came back in the car while Giovanni was still somewhere behind the hospital doing God knows what with Lia. When Angela told him where Giovanni was, he frowned and muttered something in Italian which sounded something like a curse. But he didn't go after his uncle—instead, he sat in the driver's seat and glared in the direction they disappeared.

Angela asked Gael why he didn't try to stop them if he was so worried. Then he paused for a second before answering, "Because if it were me, I know he'd let me. The asshole." He shook his head and scoffed.

They watched the corner until Lia came out and went straight to her car, then Giovanni emerged from the alley as well, his eyes following her until she turned the next block. He was in a pissy mood when he got back in the car.

"I don't want to talk about it," muttered Gio as he wore his cap and pulled the visor down, covering his face as he leaned back and shut the world out.
