The Mafia's Wife Replacement 13. Amnesia
Unfortunately, the doctor nodded in response to Eston's guess."That's right. He has amnesia, sir," replied the doctor. After completing the examination, the doctor sighed heavily. "Luckily even though the brain impact was strong, he was able to wake up from the coma. His physical injuries weren't too severe. The amnesia wouldn't last long."Eston's body still went limp after hearing the doctor's explanation. Instantly his gaze changed to that of a dazed person. This made Stellina secretly feel that she couldn't bear to witness Eston's grief.For some reason, Stellina imagined that Eston was her biological father. Stellina wouldn't be able to stop herself from seeing the uneasiness on her father's face."It won't last long, but he still has amnesia..." Eston said very softly as his body slowly almost swayed. Eston immediately removed the small, short-rimmed glasses at the bridge of his nose, then gave small massages there."How did this happen?" asked Eston groaning angrily.Diego fel

"Yes, I can trust you. As for the original plan, you have done well. But..."Stellina immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at Diego curiously. She didn't answer anything to wait for the man's continuation. The man stared back at her."This is just the beginning. I haven't seen how you act in the middle of the plan until the end of the plan," continued Diego, his tone implied threat. It was as if there was any concern that Stellina would mess up their plans later.It was clear that Stellina understood
The Mafia's Wife Replacement 15. Being Cautious
Diego took a deep breath of relief. "Eston is back from here, at least you succeeded at the beginning of the plan," he said to Stellina.At first Stellina didn't understand Diego's sudden change in topic. However, after remembering that she had deliberately chased Eston away gently, Stellina immediately rubbed the nape of his neck."Was it wrong for me to send him away?" asked Stellina, suddenly feeling worried.Diego shook his head as he put his cell phone in his blazer pocket. "Not at all. You just woke up from a coma and need rest, your reasoning is quite reasonable.""He won't suspect anything, will he?" Stellina was still thinking about the bad possibility of her attitude towards Eston earlier."Of course not. If you know how Vellina is, she's much worse at kicking him out than how you were earlier," Diego answered without any hesitation.Stellina shook for a moment. I don't know if it's just his feelings or not, but from the start he always hears about Vellina's attitude which i

Diego held back the steps of a maid-woman who was walking down the aisle carrying a tray of food.The maid-woman whose steps suddenly stopped was suddenly surprised by Diego's arrival. For a few moments, the maid-woman was motionless for a moment with a shocked expression on her face and nodded her head awkwardly."Y-yes, Mister Diego. What's wrong?" asked the maid-woman who sounded awkward to Diego. The maid woman was worried that she had made a mistake.With a crooked smile, not showing any anger at all, Diego held out both hands."Just let me bring this food to Ariana." Diego provided assistance to the maid woman, but unfortunately the maid woman took one step back while shaking her head slowly.The maid woman before Diego smiled. "No need, Mister Diego. If you're feeling overwhelmed with work—""Not at all. I'm done with my work," Diego answered quickly. He really wanted to check on Ariana's condition after being too busy dealing with Stellina matters

Seeing Ariana's behavior that couldn't stop laughing made Diego shake his head. Diego's two eyes that radiated happiness looked at Ariana for a split second. Curious how the porridge tastes in Ariana's mouth."You like the porridge?" he asked. He knew that the porridge made by the maid woman that Ariana was eating now was indeed Ariana's favorite.Not just once, Ariana would repeatedly ask for this porridge if she was sick.So Ariana answered with a nod without hesitation. Ariana immediately swallowed quickly."See, Papa, I can chew fast. The porridge is so good!"Diego chuckled the umpteenth time. He stretched out the back of his hand to Ariana's forehead and felt her daughter's temperature."Hmm..." Diego thought for a moment, considering. "The patient's body temperature has started to normal. Not as hot as yesterday. Is the patient feeling better?"Ariana was silent for a moment letting Diego's hand on her forehead. After Diego kept his hands away and looked curiously at Ariana, wa

He should have heard Arianna's first refusal earlier, Diego knew this would happen. Even though he was worried because Arianna was still sick, Diego couldn't force his daughter."Okay honey. Let's go to the hospital to see mom now, okay?"Arianna, amidst a whining expression, then smiled broadly. "Really?! Arianna met mama?"Diego nodded his head. "Yes, honey. Now you're ready, okay?

There were still tears in her eyes, but Arianna was more cheerful than before."All right, daddy!"***"Miss Arianna will come here." Fabian gave a notific

"Stellina, we need to make sure you understand the person you're trying to imitate," Fabian explained.Stellina watched intently as the videos showcased Vellina's glamorous lifestyle, commanding presence, and interactions with various individuals. The screen filled with scenes of Vellina attending high-profile events, confidently addressing the mafia members, and even engaging in tense confrontations.Stellina's eyes widened as she absorbed Vellina's mannerisms, the way she held herself with authority and commanded attention. "She's... quite formidable," Stellina remarked, her voice laced with a mixture of awe and apprehension.Fabian nodded. "Indeed, Vellina had a unique presence within the Pacnozzi family.

After weeks of practice and guidance from Fabian, Stellina felt a growing sense of confidence in her ability to portray Vellina convincingly.
