He Chose His Adopted Sister, So I Left the Mafia Chapter 06

He Chose His Adopted Sister, So I Left the Mafia Chapter 06

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital. 

The doctor stood beside my bed in silence for a long time. 

“The damage to your lumbar spine is severe. Your spinal cord isn’t completely severed, but the 

compression and bruising are significant. We’ll do 

everything we can, but no one can promise that you’ll be able to walk independently again.” 

I looked down at my legs and realized I couldn’t 

feel them at all. 

Tears slowly slid down my face. 

My right hand was already ruined. 

Now I’d lost the use of my legs too. 

I would never stand at an operating table again. 

The nurse manager stood nearby, her eyes red 

with anger. 

“Adrian hasn’t come once since you fell down those stairs. Selena only sprained her ankle, but 

he called in the three best doctors at the Moretti 

Medical Center to examine her. Erin, I don’t 

understand. How did the man who once pounded 

the table at a Family meeting to defend you turn 

into this?” 

I didn’t answer. 

A few hours later, I picked up my phone. 

I sent Adrian Selena’s original lab results, the 

medication batch numbers, and the system logs. 

showing that she had secretly altered the 

timestamps in her medical records. 

I added only one sentence. 

“This is the last time I’m explaining myself.” 

After sending it, I asked the nurse to arrange my 

transfer. 

My brother Lucas had already arranged a private 

jet. 

Three years ago, he had left Chicago for Toronto. 

We weren’t related by blood. 

After my mother remarried, he became my brother. 

When our parents died in a car accident, I was 

sixteen and he was twenty. 

Every relative told him to send me away. 

He refused. 

Later, when I went to medical school, he worked to 

cover my living expenses. 

Then one day, he suddenly moved to Canada. 

Over time, we spoke less and less. 

But when I was hurt, he was still the first person 

who came for me. 

The plane would take off in three hours. 

I asked the nurse to wheel me away so I could 

change. 

Just then, the hospital room door was thrown 

open. 

Adrian stormed inside. 

He was still wearing the black suit from the Family 

meeting, his expression utterly cold, without at 

trace of warmth. 

The nurse manager immediately spoke. 

“Mr. Moretti, you finally decided to come. Do you 

even know what happened to Erin…” 

“I know.” 

He cut her off and threw a box of medication ontol 

my lap. 

It was the HIV post–exposure medication the ER 

had prescribed for me that night. 

“Explain.” 

I froze. 

“Why was this in your locker? Selena said you’ve been secretly taking this kind of medication for a long time. Her infection had nothing to do with the medication you prescribed. You were the one who might have been exposed, and you still treated her 

wound anyway.” 

I stared at him in disbelief. 

“Have you lost your mind?” 

The nurse manager hurriedly stepped in. 

“That medication was prescribed by the ER after what happened at the Drake. I personally arranged 

1. it. Someone broke Erin’s skin with a needle of 

unknown origin.” 

Adrian’s expression stiffened. 

But the next second, his anger only grew worse. 

“Who asked you to butt in? I want to hear it from 

her.” 

I braced myself against the edge of the bed. 

“I called your name that night. You saw what 

happened. You were the one who said it was 

nothing.” 

He went silent. 

I continued. 

“And now you’re using the medication from that incident as proof that there’s something wrong 

with me? Adrian, how much more disgusting can 

you get?” 

His jaw tightened. 

“Stop changing the subject. Selena found the 

medication in your locker. That’s a fact. And I saw 

the so–called evidence you sent me. It was 

thorough. Almost thorough enough to fool me.” 

Whatever hope I’d still had for him disappeared 

completely. 

“So you still believe her.” 

“I trust my Family,” he said. 

“And everything you’ve done lately has proven that 

you can’t be trusted.” 

Those words hurt more than the fall down the 

stairs. 

I suddenly laughed. 

“Fine. Then we’re done for good.” 

His expression darkened. 

“The engagement is over. I won’t marry a woman 

who might hurt Selena.” 

I nodded. 

“Thank you.” 

At those two words, he visibly paused. 

“You think that’s the end of it? The Family medical board will formally revoke all of your privileges. Selena also wants you at the old warehouse to give a statement to the Family. Several capos will be there, and you’ll admit in front of them that you abused your position as a doctor because you 

were jealous of her.” 

The nurse manager stared at him in outrage. 

“She can’t even move her legs!” 

Adrian didn’t even look at her. 

“Then she can go in a wheelchair. If an outsider 

wants to keep living in Moretti territory, she needs 

to learn how to face the consequences.” 

I closed my eyes. 

“I’m not going.” 

He gave a cold laugh. 

“This isn’t a discussion.”
