Chapter 155 Targeted Finished
Mia quickly pushed the door open and immediately spotted two nurses injecting something into the IV bag. Matteo and Lucas followed her in, with the guards entering right behind them.
"Stop!" Mia shouted as she hurried toward her husband.
"What are you doing here? How did you get into the ICU?" one of the nurses scolded, her voice edged with panic as she glanced nervously at the intimidating men who had entered the room. But Lucas and Matteo ignored her protest, striding purposefully toward the nurses. "What's in your hand?" Mia demanded, pushing one of the nurses back and causing the syringe to fall from her grip.
"What the hell did you do?" the nurse yelled angrily at Mia. "I was giving the patient his medicine!" she snapped, her voice loud and agitated.
"Medicine?" Mia scowled. "You don't act like a nurse." She scrutinized them, her suspicion fueled by the nurse's harsh language and inappropriate behavior in the ICU.
"Get the fuck out and let us do our job," the other nurse snapped, shoving the bodyguard back. Mia motioned to Lucas, and he immediately drew his gun.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/daisynovel.com.
"Stay still and hands above your head," Lucas warned, his voice firm. But the nurses merely frowned, not showing the slightest hint of fear. Mia found it strange-they didn't even flinch at the sight of a gun, as if they were accustomed to such threats.
The nurses exchanged a quick glance before swiftly pulling out revolvers hidden under their uniforms.
"Don't make a mistake, or you'll regret it," one of the nurses threatened, pointing her revolver directly at the unconscious Alessandro.
Mia's heart leaped in her chest, gripped with fear. Panic surged through her as she thought of her husband's life hanging in the balance. Without a second thought, she promptly grabbed the tray of syringes and medicine from the bedside table and hurled it at the nurse who aimed her revolver at Alessandro.
The nurse wasn't ready for the sudden impact; the tray hit her hard, and she whimpered as the revolver slipped from her grasp. The other nurse's attention was brought toward her companion for a split second, giving Lucas enough time to fire a shot aimed at her hand, causing her to drop her weapon as well. The guards quickly rushed in and restrained the fake nurses, capturing them with ease.
"Who are you, and why did you come here to kill my husband?" Mia demanded, stepping forward and slapping the nurse who had threatened to kill Alessandro.
"Tell me who sent you!" Mia pressed, her voice filled with anger, but the nurses remained silent, refusing to respond.
"Leave them to us, Mrs. Valentino. We'll get the information out of them our way," Lucas assured Mia, gritting his teeth. He then turned to the guards and commanded, "Take them to headquarters."
The guards nodded and began escorting the fake nurses away, but suddenly, both of the imposters went limp, collapsing to the floor. The guards had to let them lay down as their bodies became unresponsive, leaving everyone stunned.

Mia and Matteo rushed toward the nurses when they noticed foam bubbling from their mouths.
"What is going on with them?" Mia asked in confusion, her eyes wide with shock.
"They swallowed cyanide capsules hidden in their mouths," Lucas explained grimly.
"What?!" Mia gasped, looking at Matteo for confirmation. He nodded silently, his expression tense.
"They're dead, and we've lost our chance to get any information from them," Lucas muttered in frustration, a heavy sigh escaping him.

After a moment of tense silence, Mia spoke up, her voice firm. "Increase the security, and don't let anyone enter the room alone. No one should be allowed in without a full explanation of the medication and verification of the staff." "I got it, Mrs. Valentino," Lucas nodded, quickly barking orders to contain the situation at the hospital.
They needed to manage this crisis discreetly to avoid drawing attention to their true identities as members of the Italian mafia. Matteo, meanwhile, made a quick call to Alexander, who immediately sent additional support to ensure they could cover up the incident without any reports of the fight or gunfire leaking out.
The hospital belonged to the Duke himself, so his word was law. Whatever he said, went. After a while, the Duke arrived in person, making sure everything was under control and, most importantly, that his sister was safe.
"Mia!" Alexander hurried to his sister, his voice filled with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his worried eyes scanning her as he gently grasped her shoulders.
But Mia stepped back, her eyes blazing with anger as she stared at the Duke.
"What's wrong, Mia?" Alexander asked, taken aback by his sister's strange response.
He couldn't understand why she was acting this way. Mia didn't respond; she just turned and walked away giving him the cold shoulder. Alexander could only watch her retreat in disbelief.
"Lord Alexander!" Matteo intervened and hesitated before he spoke. "The doctor came to check on Alessandro after the attack. He confirmed that the syringe contained poison, but thankfully, the assassins. didn't manage to inject it into Alessandro." Alexander nodded, relief washing over his expression. But he still didn't understand why his sister was so upset with him.
"What happened to Mia, then?" he wondered aloud.
"The doctor told her the truth," Matteo sighed, making Alexander's eyes widen with realization and panic.
