Chapter 368 My Life

Carlo enveloped Sofia in a tight embrace, cradling her head against his chest, offering her solace and reassurance. "Don't worry, Sofia. He will be fine. Nothing will happen to him. It's your father's promise," he whispered soothingly. "Come, my child. We have to rush to the hospital." With gentle guidance, Carlo led Sofia toward his car, her movements devoid of conscious awareness as she followed him like a lifeless vessel.

Sofia's heart pleaded silently to every deity in the universe, beseeching them to save her beloved Leonardo. She was willing to offer her own life in exchange for his survival. "Please, God, just save Leonardo!" she fervently prayed within the depths of her heart. Upon reaching the hospital, Carlo swiftly ushered Sofia inside, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He inquired about Leonardo's condition, learning that he had arrived earlier in a separate vehicle and had been taken to the operating room.

Outside the operating room, Sofia spotted Domenico and Leonardo's parents, their faces etched with anguish and tears mirroring her own. Leonardo's mother, overcome with grief, wept inconsolably, her sorrow a reflection of Sofia's own pain. Instinctively, Sofia ran toward Leonardo's mother, seeking solace in her presence. Their eyes met, and in a wordless exchange, Anna, Leonardo's mother, opened her arms to Sofia. Without hesitation, Sofia threw herself into the embrace, finding comfort in the shared

sorrow.

Anna's touch was gentle as she caressed Sofia's head and back, offering comfort amidst her own choked sobs. "Sofia, don't cry, my child. He will be fine," Anna whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of anguish and determination. "I know my son, and he is very strong and brave. He is a fighter. Nothing can happen to him."

Sofia pulled back slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Anna's, their gazes intertwined. "Mom, he has to be fine," Sofia managed to say through her sobs. "He has to wake up soon, or else I won't forgive him for making me cry."

Sofia's words tugged at Anna's heart, and Leonardo's father, joining them, added his voice to the conversation. "Sofia, don't worry," he interjected, his voice filled with a mixture of determination and resolve. "As soon as I received the news, I informed the hospital. The city's most renowned surgeons are attending to Leonardo. If necessary, I will reach out to doctors from all over the world. So both of you, stop crying. We will do everything we can."

Anna gently wiped away the tears streaming down Sofia's cheeks, but they continued to flow uncontrollably, as if her sorrow had taken on a life of its own. The two of them stood there, anxiously waiting for any sign of hope from the operating room, their hearts heavy with worry.

Meanwhile, Carlo had informed Emma about Leonardo being shot. A wicked smile spread across Emma's face, knowing that one of her greatest obstacles on the path to acquiring the Empire was about to meet his end. She kept the knowledge of their successful tracking of Mak from Carlo, fearful of exposing herself. Emma was well aware that even if she had warned Mak, he would have eventually found Leonardo, and then her own life would have been at risk. She was simply terrified that Mak might implicate her in some way. Therefore, when she received the news of Mak's death, relief washed over her. That foolish man deserved his demise if he couldn't even eliminate a mere girl.

Emma eventually arrived at the hospital, joining Leonardo's mother, Anna, and Sofia. She put on a show of grief, feigning sympathy and offering consolation to the grieving family. Both Leonardo's mother and Sofia were in tears, and Emma had to put on a facade of comforting someone she despised the most. Carlo's behavior seemed different, as he sought to console Sofia with a concerned gaze. Emma disapproved of his actions and knew she had to resume her manipulations to brainwash him once again.

The wait stretched on for nearly three agonizing hours until the surgeon finally emerged from the operating room. The tension in the air was palpable as everyone turned their attention to the doctor, awaiting news of Leonardo's condition.
