Chapter 55

Ermanno rushed to the hospital with Rose right behind him.

Guilt was eating Rose from inside.

'you are responsible for him to be here' screamed her subconscious.

Ermanno spotted Sabina crying outside the emergency room.

Sabina spotted Ermanno and hugged him and cried out loud.

"Don't worry he will be fine." Said Ermanno and hugged her back and held her tight.

Rose stood at a little distance and was praying for Arlo.

A doctor came out and all three impatiently looked at him to know what was wrong.

"He is fine and there is nothing to worry about. He had a minor gastrointestinal problem which usually is caused by stress. I have given him injections and soon will shift him to the ward. You can see him then. I would suggest he takes rest and skip work for a few days." Said the doctor and Ermanno nodded and smiled at Sabina who thanked the doctor.

"I was so scared," said Sabina.

"He is the strongest man I know. He is my rock. Nothing can happen to him. Ever. " Said Ermanno.

Sabina nodded and smiled at him. She then looked at Rose shedding tears.

Sabina went close to her and wiped her tears and said "you are so sensitive. You don't even know him so well."

"I.. I.. I got scared. I don't like hospitals and I just want him to be okay" said Rose looking down enable to meet her eyes to say how guilty she felt for his condition.

"Sabrina was right you are a good girl," said Sabina and hugged her.

Rose looked at Ermanno and saw him smiling at Rose.As soon as everyone came to know about Arlo, all jumped into their private jets to reach LA.

Arlo was shifted to a private room and Sabina was seated with Rose in the room.

Ermanno went out to talk to Elisio on the phone.

Sabina was holding Arlo's hand. He was unconscious.

Sabrina looked at Rose and asked, "weren't you on your honeymoon?"

"We just came back few hours back." Said Rose.

"You went for only two days. How was it?" Asked Sabina.

"It was good," said Rose.

"Hmm.. you know you can tell me anything, right?" Said Sabina.

"Yes. I have decided to work on my marriage. Give myself and Ermanno to adjust to eachother. He may have scared me but he won't be able to push me away so easily" said Rose.

"I am proud of you. Sabrina will be very happy to hear this. Rose, we women have the power to make a house everyone's home. We also have the power to completely destroy a home. We just need to choose who we want to be." Said Sabina.

Rose smiled and nodded.

Ermanno came into the room and said "everyone is coming. Rose, if you want you can go home"

"I am family. I will stay." Said Rose.

Ermanno smiled at Rose which Sabina noticed and looked at Rose smiling.

Everyone in the hospital made the way seeing the Devonte's walking in.

Zeke was in the first front to see his son.

Elisio, Isaiah and Nevio followed him behind impatient to see their baby brother.

Sabrina, Ella, Ambryl and Lily with Sarah, Elisio mother came in next. Vincenzo, EJ, Enrique and Aria came in last.

Sabina, Rose and Ermanno saw everyone and stood from their place.

Sabina hugged Sabrina and shed tears. Lily, Ambryl and Ella consoled her.

Zeke stood at Arlo's right and Sarah stood at his left and looked at Arlo.

Everyone else circled his bed.

Ermanno was telling everyone what had happened when Arlo opened his eyes.

He looked at everyone and asked, "what did I do?"

Everyone laughed and Zeke moved his hand on his forehead and said "you scared us"

"I am sorry," said Arlo.

"I am just glad you are okay," said Zeke and kissed Arlo's forehead with tears in his eyes.

Sarah smiled at Zeke and said "you have always been so sensitive when it came to the kids"

"And how are you so calm?" Asked Zeke.

"I am practical," said Sarah.

"And perfect," said Elisio smiling at Sarah.

"Sorry to interrupt but why am I here in the hospital?" Asked Arlo.

"You had gas," said Isaiah.

"That's it?" Said Arlo.

"You had a gastrointestinal problem," said Aria.

"Potahto potato. It's the same thing. Don't worry you'll live. By the way, the doctor seems to mention that it may be due to stress. What's stressing you?" Said Isaiah.

"He has been handling the LA office all by himself for a long time now." Said Nevio.

"Few more months and I would be with you dad," said Vincenzo.

"Look I don't have anything to stress. And maybe its something I ate or something. I have always tasted the hotel food to approve. So maybe that's what it is" said Arlo trying to get up but Elisio stopped him and said, "stay back tough guy."

"I wanna go home. I don't like hospitals" said Arlo.

"Yes. You are coming home with us to New York. And there is not going to be any discussion about it" said Zeke.

"Who is going to take care of the office here?" Asked Arlo.

"Let us worry about it baby brother," said Nevio.

"Technically I am your baby brother," said EJ.

"Na. You were no fun. Brothers beat up eachother. We were only beaten up by you when you were young and we could not even hit you back." said Nevio.

"You know he is all grown up," said Arlo looking at his brothers.

"Oh ya. We have not noticed that. If we pick on you, it won't be called child abuse" said Isaiah and went close to EJ and held his shoulder.

"Hmm," said Nevio and held his other shoulder.

Elisio looked at Arlo and said, "want to experience what a big brother feels like?"

"Hell yes," said Arlo.

EJ gulped down and called "d-dad"

"You know, Elisio scared the good out of the three boys and made them very good boys. I think I am going to hand you to him." Said Zeke.

"Do you know what he did to us?" Whispered Isaiah in EJ's ear and continued "when I was 5 he came into my room and wanted to play with me and infant Nevio. I wanted to play cars but Elisio wanted to play 'let's see who bleeds the most'."

EJ looked terrified and looked at Elisio smirking and Elisio said "I wanted to play that game but mummy stopped me"

"And he cut off my pinky," said Arlo.

"I wanted to cut off his dick," said Elisio and EJ held his dick in his hand and said "I don't want brother bonding. I want my dick. Junior Elisio is hard to handle I can't handle senior"
