Chapter 30: Are You Worrying Your Wife?

The smile on Lisa's face slowly faded, her hands shivered, and she had tears in her eyes when she heard Mary's name. Her voice trembled as Lisa answered, "Thank you for your condolences, Don. My sister would be happy if she heard about it."

Mary Walter was the older sister of Lisa Walter. When Mary was 25 years old, she worked for the Moretti Familia to support her 15-year-old sister. Both of their parents had passed away, so Mary had to provide for Lisa's needs.

If Dante counts, Mary has served Moretti for over twenty years, and Lisa followed in her sister's footsteps when she was 20.

Unfortunately, Lisa has to work alone from now on. Because they could not save Mary's life. The woman lost too much blood, and the bullet injured her vital organs, so she was already dead when Dante's underling took her to the hospital.

"Please take care of my daughter from now on, Lisa." Dante tapped Lisa on the shoulder. "If you need anything, you can ask Saro."

Lisa lowered her head and smiled. "Thank you, Don."

Dante, "Besides, I'll be gone for three days. If Illaria is looking for me, say I'm on a business trip overseas."

"I understand."

After that, Dante didn't say anything else and immediately left the mansion. When he was about to open the car door, he saw Saro walking towards him.

"Don, do you want to go somewhere? I can accompany you."

Dante, "No need, I can drive myself. And remember, don't call me if you don't have urgent work for three days."

"Do you want to go on vacation?" asked Saro in surprise.

"No. I want to visit my wife." Dante opened his car door. "Seems like she'll whine if I don't visit her soon, and she'll throw knives if I'm busy taking care of work when she's bored."

Saro flinched. Even though Dante and Scarlett had only been together for a few days, the don acted as if they had been married for years.

The more Saro saw Dante's behavior, the more he was sure that Dante had strange feelings for Scarlett.

"Then please enjoy your time with your wife, Don."

Scarlett felt that time passed very slowly when she was doing nothing. She repeatedly changed the television channel, but none of the shows interested her.

Silvano didn't return anymore and only sent messages that he had college assignments to finish soon, even though Scarlett was sure that her younger brother was deliberately running away for fear of facing her wrath.

"Ah, boring!" Scarlett exclaimed. In annoyance, she turned off the television and threw the remote on the floor.

Cerano also couldn't be contacted after Scarlett asked him to send some work documents to relieve her boredom. Apparently, Cerano really didn't want to let Scarlett work while she was still in the hospital.

Knock. Knock.

Scarlett immediately turned towards the door. She felt excited because, finally, there was someone she could interact with. She guessed that the person was Cerano or Silvano, who were ready to face Scarlett's anger.

"Come in!"

Scarlett was speechless when she saw the figure behind the door. Her eyes blinked a few times to ensure she wasn't seeing something wrong.

"Dante? Why are you here?" asked Scarlett in astonishment.

Dante closed the door, then walked towards Scarlett while carrying a bouquet of black dahlias. "Didn't I tell you that I would visit you?"

"Besides, I want to see if you are still alive or not."

Dante handed the bouquet in his hand to Scarlett. His eyes moved to observe Scarlett from head to waist.

"But it seems you are still living well."

Scarlett chuckled. "Oh, my. Do you think I can die easily? Dante, I'm Scarlett Lombardi. The head family of Lombardi who has been gone to many dangerous places since long ago."

"If I'm still alive until now, then one shot won't be able to kill me," Scarlett spoke confidently.

Dante sat in a chair that was next to the bed. He folded his arms in front of his chest. "You will die if I shoot you in the head."

Instead of being scared, Scarlett smiled broadly. "You will lose your beautiful and hot sex doll if you kill me."

"Scarlett, you're not the only woman who wants to warm my bed."

Scarlett lifted her chin. "But I am the only woman who can spice up your life."

Scarlett wasn't wrong at all. Scarlett was the only woman who could point a gun to Dante's head and then make love to him the next day.

If Dante chose to marry a woman outside the underworld, he might have to protect her until he died.

However, Dante didn't need to provide extra protection when he married Scarlett because she was able to protect herself and had a reputation as big as him.

The more Dante thought about it, the more he felt that Scarlett was his most suitable partner.

"Yeah, I might lose the benefit if I kill you." Dante changed the subject, "Why did you have to be hospitalized instead of staying at the Lombardi residence?"

As someone with a high reputation in the underworld, it was not suitable for Scarlett to go to a public hospital. Apart from being able to trace their identity in the system, their security was also lacking.

Moreover, Scarlett only put three guards in front of her room.

"Because the Lombardi residence is just as dangerous as the hospital." Scarlett looked a little doubtful as she said, "My eldest brother, Antonello, is still spying on my every move in the Lombardi residence. If he finds out that I'm injured, maybe he'll rush into the mansion and try to kill me."

Even though Antonello was a stranger to the Lombardi Familia now, Scarlett still couldn't deny that Antonello had lived in the Lombardi mansion for years and knew all the secret passages in the mansion.

Although Scarlett had tried to close all the secret passages and build new ones, she suspected that there were secret passages that only Antonello knew about. Therefore, Scarlett always felt uneasy when she had to live in the Lombardi mansion when she felt unwell.

Hence, she always asked Cerano to take her to the hospital if an emergency happened.

"Besides, now I'm the biggest benefactor of this hospital, so they won't dare to divulge my data and identity to outsiders."

In anticipation, Scarlett also asked the head of the Orsola Hospital to delete and burn all of Scarlett's data when she left the hospital.

"But aren't hospitals not very safe either? You didn't even bring many of your men here."

Scarlett smiled at Dante as if she wanted to make fun of him. "Dante, are you worried about your wife?"

"No." Dante closed his eyes. "I'm worrying about my sex doll."

Scarlett chuckled and rolled her eyes. "At least, give sweet words to people who are sick."

"Oh, now you admit that you are sick? You already said you were fine, though."

"Ah! You are not fun! Not fun at all!" screamed Scarlett, who was annoyed because Dante twisted her words.

"I'm fun in bed."

"Yeah, you are indeed fun in bed." Scarlett waved her hand as she wanted to change their topic. "By the way, this hospital isn't easy to break into. I have many subordinates that I put on the hospital staff here."

Therefore, they would immediately take Scarlett to a safer place if there was an emergency. Moreover, the security at the hospital was very tight, and only Scalet knew the secret passages in the hospital.

"Hmm ... but because of the tight security, you can't carry weapons," said Dante.

Dante then whispered, but Scarlett was able to hear his words clearly. "How about you stay at the Moretti Familia residence for a while?"
