His soul-Chapter 544: A blessing

Massimo kept running regardless of the biting pain in his chest and back, after reading the message Charlie sent Martin thirty minutes ago Massimo decided to go to the Sanders International Hotel by himself. Through his assistant, Julian gives Massimo one last chance to mend his relationship with Gina.

After getting out of the elevator that took him to the top floor at the Sanders International Hotel, Massimo rushed to the only presidential suite on that floor, but just as he was about to take a step suddenly a slightly disheveled looking figure of Julian blocked Massimo’s steps.

"Follow me," he said coldly expressionlessly.

"Gina.."

"You’ll meet Gina after finishing business with me," replied Julian curtly as he continued walking away from the president suite.

Having no other choice, Massimo immediately followed behind Julian to the garden on the highest floor of the hotel owned by the Sanders family. As soon as Massimo was in the garden, Charlie, who had been standing at the door, immediately closed the door which was the only access in and out between the park and the hotel.

After making sure that only the two of them were left, Julian then turned his body to look at Massimo who was two meters away from him.

"How much do you love Gina?" asked Julian, seriously starting the conversation.

"I don’t know, it’s clear for her I will do anything. Even if she wants my life then I will give it willingly, as long as Gina can smile I can do anything."

"Give your life to Gina?" Julian pouted sarcastically.

"Yes."

"Coward!"

Massimo raised his eyebrows. "Coward?"

"You chose death and left all your responsibilities to Gina, what would you call it if not cowardice, huh?"

"No, that’s not what I meant..."

Massimo’s words were cut off when Julian raised his right hand in the air.

"I won’t ask you any conditions this time, Massimo. I give Gina to you without any guarantee, what I want is proof of your words as a real man. I want you to prove your promise to me not to hurt Gina again in the future... in case You made Gina shed tears again, so at that time I will take Gina and her child away from you forever," said Julian firmly without pause.

Massimo’s heart beat faster. "I won’t hurt Gina again, I really won’t make her sad again. You can keep my word, Julian."

Julian pursed his lips "Okay, I take what you said. And I hope you remember those words you just said, because believe me as long as I’m alive, I’ll remember them well."

"You can take my word for it," said Massimo firmly.

Surprisingly Julian stretched out his hand towards Massimo, Massimo who had no other reason then accepted his father-in-law’s hand firmly.

"I leave Gina to you, take care of her for me. Make Gina happy, don’t make her feel bitter like before. Because of my selfishness, Gina has often shed tears since childhood, so I hope you can always make her smile and..." Julian stopped his words, trying to hold back a hoarse voice in the chest.

"And I’m sorry," continued Julian in a trembling voice without letting go of Massimo’s hand.

Massimo, who didn’t expect to hear Julian’s apology, seemed to be silent for a while, his eyes flashing disbelievingly at Julian who was looking at him with a different look. The gaze that Julian gave him at this moment was warm.

"I’m sorry for all the selfishness that I’ve done all this time, I think that by keeping Gina away from you, Gina will be happy," said Julian again in a voice that was clearly holding back tears. "But what happened was the opposite, Gina actually suffered and hurt more when I did that. It seems that Gina is really attached to you, that’s why I have decided to return Gina to you, Massimo."

"Julian..."

"Don’t repeat the mistakes I made decades ago, because believe me, until now I still regret the stupid things I did. Make Gina happy, she deserves it," added Julian again.

Unable to contain his feelings, Massimo surprisingly pulled Julian’s hand which was still gripping his hand towards him before he finally gave a warm hug to Julian’s body which felt thinner. Massimo didn’t open his mouth when he hugged Julian, neither did Julian. They were both silent and let the night breeze hit their faces that were already damp with tears.

"Go, hurry and meet Gina. Gina really needs you right now," said Julian softly as he patted Massimo’s back.

Massimo immediately let go of his arms from Julian’s body and immediately turned his body and prepared to go back into the hotel, but surprisingly Massimo hugged Julian back tightly. This time he was not silent, Massimo said many words that warmed Julian’s heart. Julian’s eyes lit up again hearing Massimo’s words, his chest that previously felt tight now became very warm when Massimo asked permission to call him ’Daddy’. Julian really felt that Massimo really appreciated it.

Not wanting to make Massimo see him cry, Julian then pushed Massimo’s body away from his body. "Come in, meet Gina. The key to the room is Gina’s date of birth, I hope you remember when Gina was born. Otherwise you won’t be able to find her."

"Of course I remember, how could I not remember the birthday of the woman I love so much," answered Massimo confidently with a wide smile.

Julian pursed his lips. "Good, then go in and meet her."

Massimo nodded, without being ordered twice Massimo rushed into the hotel past Charlie who was smiling warmly at the door. Even though he couldn’t hear what Massimo and Julian were saying but Charlie could see how the two different colored flames hugged each other for a long time, Charlie was happy that his master decided to end his cold war with Massimo, the only person who could save Gina and Julian. Even though they all knew that Massimo was the cause of Gina’s tears, they also knew that only Massimo was able to wipe the tears off Gina’s face.

With vigorous steps Massimo ran towards the big door at the end of the hall, even though he felt his chest getting wet again Massimo continued to run towards the room where Gina was. Without much difficulty, Massimo finally managed to enter the most luxurious room in the hotel with mixed feelings. His breath rose and fell, impatient to meet the idol of the heart who did not know his presence.

Massimo’s steps stopped right in a room whose door was slightly ajar, from the gap of the door Massimo could see Gina lying on the bed with a peaceful face. In her quiet sleeping position, Gina looks so beautiful and elegant. Like a goddess of heaven resting in the clouds, that was what Massimo saw of Gina at this moment.

"My Love..." Massimo said quietly without realizing it as he walked into the room that smelled of vanilla, when Massimo entered he did not see the infusion pole that had been stored in the corner of the room, Massimo’s focus was really only on Gina.

Once at the edge of the bed, Massimo dropped to the floor. In such a kneeling position Massimo could see Gina’s face very clearly, Massimo could even hear Gina’s breathing which was so peaceful. Gina, who has been shedding a lot of tears lately, looks so calm in her sleep and it makes Massimo feel very guilty, seeing Gina’s stomach, which is getting bigger, Massimo’s fortress was destroyed instantly. Warm tears dripped from her eyes, wet her cheeks as she saw his son was growing healthily inside Gina. With shaking hands Massimo touched Gina’s forehead, brushing away the fine hairs that covered Gina’s beautiful face.

Gina reacted when she felt someone touching her, but the alert Massimo immediately gave soft whispers asking Gina to continue sleeping. Massimo gave Gina a passionate kiss on the cheek.

"After this we will not be separated again, honey. We will live together again like before, forgive all the selfishness and stupidity that I have done in the past. I promise not to do that kind of thing again, I promise, baby," Massimo whispered hoarsely . "I will make both of you happy..."

"Massimo..."

Massimo, who was closing his eyes when whispering beside Gina’s ear, immediately lifted his head away from the bed, trying to make sure he didn’t hear wrong. His chest immediately felt warm when he saw Gina was staring at him.

"Honey..."

"I wasn’t dreaming, was I?" asked Gina quietly.

Massimo shook his head quickly. "No honey, it’s me, Massimo. The stupidest man you’ve ever suffered," answered Massimo hoarsely.

Gina’s lips thinned, using the hand previously attached to Gina’s IV to try to reach Massimo’s pale face. However, Gina’s desire to touch Gian’s face was stopped by Massimo who immediately grabbed her hand using his two big palms.

"Ouchh..."

Massimo immediately released his grip from Gina’s hand. "It hurts, what hurts?" he asked frantically.

Gina smiled. "My IV drip hurts," Gina answered honestly.

"Iv drip?!"

Gina nodded, Gina slowly glanced towards the corner of the room where there was an IV line. Massimo who was curious then followed the direction of Gina’s gaze, his eyes widened when he saw the presence of the silver infusion pole.

"Why do you need an IV? You’re not sick, are you? Answer me, honey." Massimo, who was panicking, immediately bombarded Gina with several questions at once. "Our child is fine, right?"

Gina smiled. "I am alright."

"No, there’s no way you’re okay. No healthy person receives an IV," Massimo answered quickly. "Don’t lie to me, I beg you."

"This morning I had a little bleeding..."

"What?! Bleeding!!!" Massimo screamed spontaneously as he immediately grabbed Gina’s hand which had previously been instilled with an IV, Massimo had forgotten that previously Gina was whimpering in pain when she gripped the small hand. "How so? Then how are you now? We’re going to the hospital now, shall we."

"I’m fine, Massimo."

Massimo shook his head. "No, you’re not okay. Now you better shut up and let me call Thomas so he can send an ambulance to..."

"We’re okay, Daddy," Gina said back.

The unexpected words that Gina had just said immediately made Massimo freeze, his hand which was already clutching the cell phone and ready to call Thomas was hanging in the air.

"Mommy and I are fine, Daddy." Gina clarified her words as she gently touched her stomach. "All we need right now is rest, that’s what doctor Olivia said earlier."

As if he had just found an oasis in the desert, Massimo was very relieved to hear Gina’s words. With both legs that felt weak Massimo again approached Gina and put his cellphone back into the pocket of his black blazer.

"Why did you go through such a terrible thing, honey?" asked Massimo hoarsely. "You didn’t fall before, did you?"

Gina shook her head. "No, I didn’t fall or hit anything hard. Even when I showered I was fine."

"Then how can this happen? Bleeding during pregnancy is a very dangerous condition, although I am not a medical expert but I know that it is something that is very dangerous for pregnant women," said Massimo quickly without pause. "We’d better go to the hospital now, you have to get intensive care in the hospital under the supervision of a specialist who will look after you around the clock."

Gina pursed her lips. "We don’t need a doctor, we need you, Daddy."

Massimo’s lips trembled. "You need me?" Massimo repeated Gina’s words like an idiot.

"Yeah.. we need you, Daddy." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

If previously Massimo’s lust was getting out of control if Gina called him that, this time Massimo felt a different sensation. There was a strange feeling that filled his chest right now, hearing Gina call him Daddy made him immediately remember the ultrasound photo that Gina left in their room two months ago. In the photo, Gina also calls him that nickname to show the presence of the baby in her stomach.

Without asking for permission, Massimo immediately hugged Gina tightly. Several times Massimo took a sip of Gina’s scent from her long neck, filled with a burning longing. Massimo embraced Gina’s body, which was slightly fuller due to her pregnancy, tightly into his arms. Again being able to feel the sweet scent of Gina’s body made Massimo feel very at peace, he was really willing to trade the rest of his life for all the tranquility he felt right now.

"I love you, Gina... I really love you. Thank you for sticking around for this jerk of me," Massimo said hoarsely in Gina’s ear which was already wet with saliva.

Gina, who did not reject all of Massimo’s treatment of her at this time, only smiled a little, returned to being in Massimo’s arms who worshiped her as high as the sky, making Gina’s chest feel warm.

"I promise to make both of you happy forever."
