PART 76

" I'll call Aurora. I need to see Antonia." Lucas said.

" Don't call her. She will not allow us to go there. Call Andrew. We can get news of Antonia." Sofia said.

" Yeah she is right. I am calling Andrew." Charlie said. He called and Andrew received seeing the mansions landline number.

" Andrew? I'm Charlie Zaffino."

" Yes sir."

" How is Antonia now?"

" She has been taken to the OT sir. They have decided to take out the bullet as soon as possible as the bullet is not in any good position."

" She will be fine right?"

" Yeah. They have assured sir. Don't worry. Venom has asked you guys not to worry much."

" Yeah as if it's not a matter of worry. Where is she by the way?"

" She is in a cabin sir."

" Why? Is she hurt too?"

" No sir. Boss needs blood. Venom has donated her that. Now she is taking rest."

" But she is weak too." Charlie said with concern.

" You know how she is sir. Sir I have to cut the call. The operation is done. They are saying it is successful. Don't worry." saying that Andrew cut the call.

" What did he say Charlie?" Lucas asked being impatient.

" Her operation is successful. Don't worry. She is fine now." Lucas felt relived.

" What about Aurora?" Sofia asked.

" She has donated Antonia blood. So she is taking rest now. I can't understand in this whole city is there short of blood banks? Why does she have to donate blood in that weak health?"

" Antonia and Aurora both are O negative." Sofia said.

" That's rare." Harry said being astonished.

" Yeah. Aurora has given her blood before too when she rescued Antonia." Sofia said.

" She has been in accidents like this before too?" Lucas asked.

Sofia just sadly smiled but didn't say anything. They understood she couldn't say anymore.

They saw Eric heading out. "Where are you going Eric?" Leo asked.

"To the hospital sir. Andrew and his team mates need rest and Venom needs someone there too. So I'm heading there."

" Do you know when will she discharged?" Lucas asked.

" Andrew has said they will be back in the morning. Venom has decided to take care of boss in the mansion. As it is not safe for them to stay in the hospital for long time." The heirs nodded.

" You guys should rest. They will be back in the morning. You can see them then." saying that Eric went outside and headed towards the hospital.

" I want to stay here." Sofia said.

" Don't be stubborn. You will be sick too like this. You have to be strong for them." Leo said.

" Yeah. Let's go to our rooms." Harry said.

" You guys go. I will wait for their arrival." Lucas said. He was about to cry. Charlie hugged him. He started crying. Others felt sad too seeing that.

" Buddy be strong for her okay? She will be here in the morning. Take care of her as much as you want. But you have to be well for that too right? Let's go to the room." Charlie said.

" Yeah." Lucas said while crying.

" But I don't want to stay alone." Sofia said.

" Well how about we all stay in the same room tonight? We can talk if sleep doesn't visit us?" Harry said.

" Yes. That's a good idea. Let's go to my room." Charlie said. They all headed towards his room.

It was already morning. Antonia got her sense back. She groaned in pain and looked by her side only to find Aurora sitting there staring at the wall.

" Aurora?" She called.

Aurora looked at her blankly but didn't say anything. She stood up and rang the bell. Antonia became confused. Soon the doctor and nurse came running in the room. Aurora got out of the room. Antonia sighed. She knew that is going to happen. But what she didn't know that was going to be way hard this time.

" How are you feeling now Miss. Mariano?" The doctor asked.

" Fine. I need water." Antonia slowly. The nurse helped her to get up and drink water.

"Can you feel your arm? We need to check if the nerves are okay."

" I can only feel the pain on the spot doctor."

" It's because the effect of anesthesia is gone. It will pain until you take pain killers."

" When will you discharge me?"

" Your sister has said she will take you home today. You can come later to change the bandage."

" Oh."

" Take rest now. Call for me if you need any help. The nurse will stay here with you."

Antonia nodded. The nurse again made her lie down on the bed. The doctor went out.

" You are really lucky to have a sister like this Miss. Mariano. She cares for you a lot. She has stayed up whole night sitting beside you." The nurse said smiling.

" Yeah. I'm lucky to have her."

" I have even asked her to take rest as she has given you a full bag blood. But she didn't want to leave you alone here."

Antonia kept looking at the nurse. "In the end you are one always saving my life Aurora." Antonia mumbled.

" Did you say something?" The nurse asked being confused.

" No. I'll take some rest now." saying that she closed her eyes.

The doctor came out of the room and Aurora went to him. " How is she now?"

" She is fine Miss. Mariano. But the spot is paining now. It will go after taking pain killers though."

" Can I take her home then?"

" Yeah. But I want to run some tests to see if the nerves are okay. You see the bullet was shot where there are many bundle of nerves. We have to see if any of the nerves are damaged."

" What will happen if any of the nerves are damaged doctor." Aurora asked calmly but only she knows how strong storm is happening inside her.

"She will have to take physiotherapy then. She will recover. Don't worry. But sometime nerves damage make people paralyzed. That's why I want to test her as soon as possible."

" Run the test doctor. I'll take her home after getting the reports only. Give me those reports as soon as possible." Aurora said in a authoritative voice.

" Sure Miss. Mariano." The doctor went into the cabin again.
