Hi..
.
.
Ariana’s POV
” After my senior went to receive her brother, I walked off to the hospital to meet Mila.”
.
At the hospital.
” I went to the room where Mila was having her rest. By slowly opening the door without any sound, I walked inside.”
Mila
(beams up) π Sissy..
Mila
(gets down from the bed in a hurry)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(worried) Hey ! Slowly, you will fall..
Mila
(jumps in her arms in excitement) π But you will protect me before I fall, right ? ..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(catch her and pick Mila in her arms) Yup. That’s true, though.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
So, how are you doing, Mila baby ? (pinches her nose slightly)
Mila
(giggles) I’m feeling good after seeing my pretty sissy. π
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(kisses her cheeks) Is it..?
Mila
Yup π…
” I walked towards her bed and made her lay down by placing her head carefully on the pillow.”
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(stroke Mila’s hair)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Baby, you rest for a while. I will go and meet the doctor uncle..Ok
Mila
(shows her pinky finger for a promise) OK sissy. But promise me that you will come back to play with me..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(joins her pinky finger with Mila’s little finger) Pinky promise, baby..
Mila
(giggles happily)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(kiss Mila’s forehead) I will be right back..
Mila
(nods) Hm.π
.
” I went to meet the oncologist to know about the current reports on Mila’s health.”
.
In an oncologist cabin…
KNOCK !! KNOCK !!
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
Come in..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(Went inside)
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
(looks up) Oh, Ms. Vento.. How are you doing ?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(walk towards him) I’m fine.π
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
Please have a seat..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(sits down)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Um.. Dr. Heinz, could you please tell me about the current condition of Mila ?
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
About Mila… Due to current reports, I think the better option is to get a stem cell transplantation, and then a few sessions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy will make the treatment successful.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(nods) Hmm.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Hm.. May I know how much the treatment will cost altogether ?
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
Stem cell transplantation will cost around 200,000$, and the cost of chemotherapy and radiotherapy will depend on how many sessions are required for her.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(nods)
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
In my opinion, the whole treatment will cost approximately 2 million dollars.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Hm.. Ok..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(concerned) Dr. ….Will she be alright after the whole treatment..?
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
Ms. Vento,as you know, a cancer isn’t curable, maybe first and second stages are curable but it’s difficult from three stage to last stage. Even after the best treatment, some may live for 2 years, some 5 years, some 10 years or some may more than 15 years.
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
Our job is to provide patients with our best treatment and empower their will to live. But there are many things that aren’t in our hands but to pray to God.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(nods) I understand, (smiles slightly)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
So when will it be good to start her treatment..?
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
If her guardian signs the consent paper, then we can start right away.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(nods) Then, tomorrow, I will come and sign the consent form.
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
(nods)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Then, I will take my leave.. (stood up from the chair)
Heinz Walters (Oncologist)
(nods) Have a nice day (smiles)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
Thanks (smiles)
.
” I came out of the doctor’s cabin and exhaled heavily.”
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(closed her eyes) * God, please help that little child.*
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(walking towards Mila’s room)
.
.
In Mila’s room
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(Went inside)
Mila
(scribbling in the book)
Mila
(looks up) Sissy π
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(smiles) Are you studying ?
Mila
Yup π.. I love to study..π
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(sat beside Mila)
Mila
(drawing in the book) I also want to go to school like other kids and play with everyone.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(strokes her hair) You will, Mila baby.
Mila
(low voice) I don’t want to stay in this hospital anymore.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(caress Mila’s cheeks) I know you don’t like to stay in the hospital but for being healthy and fit you need to be strong so that you can go to school.
Mila
Then, after becoming healthy and strong, can I also protect my friends from bad people ?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(pecks on Mila’s forehead) Yes, you can.
” I stayed beside her for a while and read some stories for her.”

At night…
In the Langley mansion
Massimiliano’s POV
” I just returned from the company and heard a familiar laughing sound from the hall room. I went towards the hall room and saw my mom and Aunty Samara.”
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(looks at Matt) Oh, you’ve returned ?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(nods)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(wents towards him and hugged him) Oh my, Matt, you became such a handsome young man..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(hugged her back) Thank you. How are you, Aunty..? I’m meeting you after a long time.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(leaves the hug) Me too, dear. Come let’s seat and have some talk..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(nods)
” I went and sat beside my mom. “
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(teasing ) Oh, Samara, don’t try to steal my son..
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Come on, why will I steal him when we can be a family in the future. Eventually, he will be my son..π
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(smiles a bit)
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
(came there ) Aunty Samara !! (ran and hugged her in excitement)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
(hugged her back) Oh my God, you became such a pretty lady..
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
(leaves the hug) Thank you.. When is Artemis sissy coming..? I miss her. π
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Dear, she just called me a few hours ago and said that she will be back as soon as she completes her work.
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
Oh.. But tell her to come as fast as possible or else some snakes are lurking around my brother to trap him. (annoyed tone)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
βοΈIvy..
Ivy Langley (ML's cousin)
(flinched)
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Sandra, it’s fine. She’s just a kid. But what she said is quite true.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(firmly) Sammy, She’s a 21 years old adult, not a kid.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Sandra, no need to think about that family anymore, no need to defend them too.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
In the beginning, it was that Vento family who took a huge amount from the Langley family to build their company. So, the Lombardies have full rights on the Vento company as you people were the investors.
” I became shocked after hearing this. When did they take the amount ? And to my surprise, I didn’t know that we were the investors and had a share in that company. “
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
And why do you think the Vento decided to have a relationship with the Lombardies because they knew that getting married into this family could make them more prestigious and brag to the people that they are related to the Lombardies.
” My blood started boiling after hearing this from Aunty Samara. So, this was the main intention of the Vento.”
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
Moreover, their main intention is that they can get fifty per cent of Langley shares after getting married into this family.
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
And Sandra, I said you many times to stop being friendly with that Sylvia. She looks innocent, but she is a ΙΓ¬Ε₯Γ§Δ₯ like her sister-in-law.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(firmly) Sammy !! Enough ..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
βοΈ I will take my leave..
Samara Provence (Artemis's mom)
π Sorry to make you hear this all, son.. (smirks internally)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
No No, auntie. It’s fine. Well.., I got to know something as well, Auntie..
” This fΓΉcking Vento..”π’π’π’
