Chapter 61: Remembrance
61. Remembrance.
Author’s POV.
Fiorella covers her mouth to suppress the loud cry that escapes her lips.
“I am so sorry” the doctor sighs, it’s awful telling relatives that the parents have lost their lives to death but its his job.
Tears flood Fiorella’s face. She should be happy that he is dead, that he has finally paid for his numerous sins but she isn’t happy at all; rather she’s broken and shattered, he should go to jail and suffer not just due like that.
The doctor leaves her and goes back into the ER.
“Why should you die so easily? I haven’t exacted revenge on you yet, this isn’t what I wanted at all” She cries and walks to the wall.
But deep inside she is crying for another reason.
She leans on it and bends down crying her eyes out.

Tito hasn’t been disconnected from the heart monitor but the oxygen has been disconnected, his head is still bandaged and his leg too, his arm is not left out as well.
One of the nurses walks to his corpse and covers his face with the hospital bed sheet.
The time of his death was recorded at 7:50am, it was written on the other doctor’s note pad.
The nurse who covered his body, went to disconnect him from the heart monitor so his body would be taken to the morgue.
But she was about to, the heart monitor starts reading again.
The doctors and the other nurse turned to him in shock, it started from one and started reading much better.
The doctor who confirmed his death and walked to the bed, he uncovers Tito’s face but his eyes were closed.
“This can’t be” the other doctor with the notepad gasps.
“Impossible, we confirmed him dead” the doctor who examines him mutters and checks heartbeat and pulse. Everything was back to normal but he didn’t wake up at all.
“Doc.”
“He’s alive,” the doctor said to them.
Their mouths opened in shock.
The doctor confirms that he is alright but still in a coma, he goes back to Fiorella and luckily she is still there, crying.
The doctor stood still in surprise in his years as a medical practitioner, he had never seen anything like this before, he exhaled and walked to a wailing woman.
“Miss” He calls and she lifts up her head.
Her face is wet and red, the top of her dress is also wet with her tears.
“Yes, doc.” Fiorella sniffs and stands up shakily.
She has stayed for a while that’s why her legs are getting numb.
“The patient isn’t dear” the doctor reveals.
She raises her brows at him in disbelief”Tell me this is a joke ”
The doctor blinks in confusion” we thought he was dead, we had a CPR done on him but he didn’t wake up just as we were about to transfer him to the morgue, he came back to life, I am as shocked as you are ”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Fiorella sniffs and smiles, she feels so relieved and even pinches herself to make sure it is not her imagination.
” Is he awake?
“Unfortunately he is not awake, he broke some bones in his body and because of the pressure from the water, it affected his brain, so i presume he has fallen into a ck a bit we home that he wakes up soon but that would be confirmed when the remaining tests are carried out on him”the doctor replies setting her at ease.
“Okay” She sniffs and wipes her tears away.

Fiorella goes to Enzo’s house, she hopes that the kids have gone to school, she will call her Mamma to pick them up from school, she will get back home late because she is not ready to face them at all.
“Why are you crying?” Enzo asks as she enters the house.
She looks terrible, she faces him and he looks much better than last night.
“Tito had an accident, I heard it on the, news” Fiorella replies and wipe underneath her wet nose with the back of her hand
Enzo fakes a surprised face and exclaims “What!, how did it happen?”
“I don’t know but the doctors said he died,” Fiorella mutters.
Enzo’s face brightens with happiness, at last his obstacle is now out of his way but when she says her next statement, the happiness vanishes.
“But shockingly he came back alive, I am still astonished, I thought he was really dead”
Enzo folds his fists, he frowns heavily but Fiorella isn’t looking at him so she can’t see any of the expressions he is making.
“It’s good that he is alive, he shouldn’t die so easily” Enzo smirks.
“This is the time for us to release and leak the videos, this is the time to pull him down, when he is weak and can’t fight back” Enzo smiles victoriously.
Fiorella pouts her lips, he is in a coma, it’s a bit absurd to leak the videos.
“No, we shouldn’t do that now, I want him to be awake and feel his downfall, he is still in a coma” Fiorella
refuses and exhales.
“Who cares if he is in a coma!” Enzo exclaims emotionlessly..
“it would be the best time to make him regret his actions”Enzo grimaces.
Fiorella doesn’t like the idea” We should wait till he is, awake, Enzo don’t do anything rash yet ”
Enzo sighs in defeat “Whatever ”
___
Three weeks have passed and Tito hasn’t woken up yet. The twins already know about his condition and they go to the hospital from time to time wishing for him to wake up.
Fiorella tilts her head from side to side and takes the cup of coffee in her hands to Laura.
“Since Tito hasn’t woken up, the company now is controlled by his father” Laura said continuing their conversation.
“I thought as much, what about his mom?
” She is handling it with him but she doesn’t come frequently to the office, another secretary has taken over, I really miss you, Amica “Laura pouts and sips from the coffee.
” I missed you too. I couldn’t return to work because it would be odd there without him but thank you for your support Laura “Fiorella smiles.
“Are you still going to exact your revenge on him?” Laura asks sneakily.
Fiorella has told her about everything except Dante’s part in her fathers death.
“He’s not the only one I have to take revenge on, I trust you that’s why I am telling this, Dante Mancini stole my father’s wealth, I am not too certain if he had any role in my Papa’s death” Fiorella reveals.
“Which Dante?”
“Which other Dante do you know?”
“I am going to exact my revenge on him too and Signora Aria, I never liked that woman” Fiorella sneers.
Laura widens her eyes for a short while and nods “Destroying you is getting pretty easier, Fiorella”
She smirks a bit and puts up a sad face when she faces Fiorella.
___
After three days later, Fiorella went on her usual visit to Tito, she took the kids along and they wore face masks.
They stay beside his bed watching him like he’s sleeping..
“When is Papa going to wake up?” Noelle asks with tears brimming in her eyes.
“Soon, baby” Fiorella smiles uncertainty.
Noello knows his mother is just saying it and that it is not certain.
Tito moves his fingers and suddenly opens his eyes, it’s so sudden that they get scared.
“Tito” Fiorella mutters shockingly.
“Papa” Noello calls.
Tito closes his eyes back and opens them again, his vision slowly adapts to the array of light, he looks sideways at them.
“Papa” Noelle called and touches his hand.
Tito blinks but doesn’t say a word, he simply stares to them to weirdly.
“Tito, can you hear me?” Fiorella asks.
“Who are you?” Tito mutters and they become astonished.
