Leonardo stared at the woman on the surgical table in horror and fear?
No, that was not possible.
He had no fear.
He was the Don.
She was lying unconscious with an incision in her abdomen. He resisted the urge to push everyone out so he could hold her and keep her safe in his arms.
His chest tightened and so did his fist.
“Incision in the uterus”, he heard the doctor say.
They already made the first incision and was going for the second. There was only too much he could take but he felt that if he took his eyes off her, she’d disappear.
Tension was evident in the room as everyone held their breath. Leonardo’s heartbeat was the loudest sound he could hear, like a drum in a silent forest.
He already had anxiety about the whole child birth situation but this only made it worse.
