The Underboss’s Doormat Wife Is The Don’s Queen Chapter 07
Pulling the Plug
“Let the paramedics handle this. It doesn’t look good,” the officer says.
When the ambulance arrives, Dante is taken straight to the ICU.
I wait outside for four hours before the doctor finally comes out.
“His condition is stable for now, but he lost a tremendous amount of blood, and treatment was delayed for too long. There’s a very high chance he’ll never wake up.”
I thank him and walk into Dante’s room.
Dante lies completely still on the bed.
I walk over and take his hand, running my thumb over the pale mark where his wedding ring used to be.
He stopped wearing it six months ago.
“It’s annoying. Wear yours if you want, but I’m done wearing mine,” he said back then.
Half an hour ago, while the police were questioning Victor, I heard him talking.
“Mia lost her ring while we were having sex. I thought you’d make a scene, Aria. But you didn’t do anything.”
“Mrs. Moretti, let’s discuss your husband’s next steps,” the head doctor says.
I follow him into his office.
We talk for a long time.
I ask him repeatedly, “Will he wake up?”
“The chances are very low. One kidney was punctured, and his liver suffered severe damage. Even if he regains consciousness, his prognosis isn’t good. Do you want to continue treatment, or…”
Before he can finish, I start crying.
The officers who came to take my statement wait outside the door.
I stand and wipe my face.
“Thank you for everything you’ve done. But Dante has always cared about his dignity. We… we don’t want to continue treatment. I want to take him home.”
I walk back into the ICU.
I reach out and remove Dante’s oxygen tube.
Then I leave the room.
Not long after, the doctor signs his death certificate.
I go to the police station to give my statement.
Victor is there.
The moment he sees me, he points at me.
“It’s her! She called me and told me to go there. I think she set the whole thing up to get revenge!”
“I only asked you to pick Mia up,” I say.
Victor shakes his head.
“You knew Dante and Mia were getting a hotel room together. So why the hell did you call me?”
