The Redemption of mobster

Chapter 5

Damian Cooper

I hear the sound of my heart that came from the little one to have her.

I was in a surgical bed, and fear was imminent even if I didn't show it.

Khaterine was out there with my father. I had already said goodbye to Khat and my father in case something happened to me.

The surgeon and his team enter the room and then come to me, insert anaesthesia and tell me to count to ten... As I was counting, I blacked out.

...

Khaterine Parker

It's been two hours since Damian entered the operating room.

I was so nervous that my father-in-law took me to the hospital chapel so we could pray.

Even though I grew up in the mafia world, I always had faith and believed in God. And my dream was to be able to get out of the mafia world.

After a few minutes of praying I leave the room with my father-in-law.

- Khaterine daughter. - My mother with my father takes hasty steps to me and hugs me. Lindsey Parker, has always been a beautiful and well-groomed woman for her age. Besides being very vain and always dressed in designer clothes. My father was a simple man, despite being part of the mafia, who spent his millions was my mother who was only a housewife and a submissive wife and for her that was enough. He never thought about working.

- How's Damian? - My father said.

- We haven't heard any news yet. - I answered and sat in the chair.

2 hours later...

- Family members of Mr. Damian Cooper? - The doctor said approaching.

- Yes. - I get up to meet the doctor fearing the worst.

- We had some complications with the patient, but in the end we managed to remove the fibroid and the surgery was a success. - The doctor said.

- Thank God. - I said opening a big smile.

- Can I see him? - I asked.

- No, the same is now recovering and we have to wait twenty-four hours to allow visits because these 24 hours are very important to see if there will be no infection in the dressing. - Said the doctor.

And then he retired.

Damia Cooper

I'm in place, a place I can't explain I see my deceased mother and she's dressed in a white cloth, and her face was nice she smiled at me seemed to be very happy. All these years I've been bitter for never saying goodbye to her.

- Mom. - I mean crying.

- My Damian boy, how you grew up. You're already a man. - The same says.

- I want you to forgive me for not saying goodbye to you. I didn't have a choice mom, you were broke and you're going to lose your house. The mafia boss offered me to pay off all your debts in exchange for my life. I would have to work for him. When I became the hood I came after you and Dad, but you weren't there anymore, Mom. And even if I wanted to see you in secret, I couldn't, for your safety, Mom. I couldn't have contact with my family because I didn't have so much money and if some of my enemies knew I have a family they would kill my parents. That's why I only looked for you after I became the hood so I could protect you and give you a life of comfort and luxury.

- My mother delicately extends her arms and her gaze remained serene and full of love, accompanied by her smile that I loved and missed so much.

I delightly kiss the back of your hand

Because she extends her arms to me.

- I forgive you my boy, and I love you. Now go, you can't come with me. You have to come back, be happy and take care of your old father because he still needs you.

- I love you mom and I will always love you. - I see the image of my mother disappearing...

Doctor Kennedy

- The patient is having a cardiac arrest, we are losing him. - I say desperately. I couldn't fail. His vital signs were low and after a few minutes everything returned to normal.

And the condition stabilised, proving that the surgery was a success.

I leave the room, anxious to give the news to your family.

...

48 hours later

After twenty-forty-eight hours the patient opened his eyes despite not being able to speak because his throat was dry.

I go to a corner where there was a table and a jar of water with a glass, take the jar and spill the water in the glass and then pick it up a straw and put it there.

I get closer and the one to drink.

So the same baby and then I say I'll call his family so they can see him.

Khaterine Parker

- Mr. Damian Cooper woke up, so which one of you wants to see him? - Asked the doctor as soon as he approached.

- Go you, you're the father and I'm sure it will do you good to see him. -I tell my father-in-law and he headed to the room where Damian is with the doctor.

Damian Cooper

I was waiting for one of my two family members to come in.

Minutes later the door opened revealing my father as soon as he sees me smiles.

- I'm glad you're alive. God be praised, he gave you one more chance Damian. You can still change and give up the mafia. You have a beautiful wife, you have money to keep up to your fifth generation and you have me. - My father said.

My father was a good man, I admired him. But my soul was already corrupted and I couldn't help but be a mobster.

- I see Mom. I see her, she had that serene look and the usual contagious smile. I see her, I see her - I say euphoric and a tear falls from my eyes.

- Damian, calm down, I'm glad you saw her. I know you blame yourself for not saying goodbye to her. But you need to get over it. Your mother has always loved you and will always love you.

- She said I was supposed to be happy, and she wasn't angry with me. I'm so relieved and happy my father. - I mean.

- I'm happy for you, my son, now calm down, you can't make an effort. He just got out of surgery and needs to recover.

- Son, maybe that's a signal for you to change. - Added Mr. Gilbert Cooper. That was my father's name.

- Dad, don't start. - I said closing my face. I was out of the question of changing the world. The mafia world was my world, and I wouldn't abandon my family.
