7AM~~HOSPITAL
Alessandro and Francesca spent the night in Don Leonard's ward, Francesca was still seated on the chair beside the bed that Don Leonardo was.
She was already fast asleep, her gentle snores filled the ward. Alessandro on the other side was standing beside the bed, his expression was unreadable as his gaze was locked onto Don Leonardo whose eyes was still closed.
As he stared at Don Leonardo his mind swirled with different thoughts
"Who the hell changed the Don's drug? When is the Don going to open his eyes? I will do everything within my power to find the person....."
He couldn't finish his thoughts when Don Leonardo sudden cough snapped him out of his thoughts immediately
"Father!!"Alessandro called placing his hands on Don Leonardo face.
The cough also woked Francesca from her sleep, she jumped to her feet and rushed to Don Leonardo whose cough had already reduced
"Dad, are you okay?"Francesca asked, concern etched on her face.
Don Leonardo opened his eyes gently as his gaze locked onto Alessandro and Francesca
"Alessandro! Francesca!"he called out with a weak voice
"Yes father"Alessandro and Francesca replied
"I might not be able to survive because I have cancer of the heart"Don Leonardo said
Francesca eyes widened in shock
"What!!"she exclaimed
Alessandro burst into tears"Father, why didn't you tell us, you kept it from all of us, why???"he said
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want to scare all of you"Don Leonardo replied
"Father, everything will get better, you will be fine"Francesca said
"I need a favor from both of you"Don Leonardo replied
"What is the favour all about"Alessandro asked
"Alessandro, the only thing you can do to make me happy is becoming the next patriarch at all cost"Don Leonardo replied
Alessandro became confused"What fo you mean, father"he asked
"Francesca"Don Leonardo called
"Yes father"she replied, hot tears streaming down her face
"In all you do please make sure you support Alessandro, treat him like your blood, don't ever try to betray him"Don Leonardo said
"Okay father, I promise to do exactly like you've said"Francesca replied
"But father, why are you saying all this, why"Alessandro asked, finally bursting into tears.
"I know it might be hard....."Don Leonardo replied but he was unable to complete his sentence when he started coughing again
"Dad, it's okay, just stop talking, you need rest"Francesca said
Don Leonardo got his voice back and stopped coughing
"I know it might be hard for you to become the next patiarch, you'll be surrounded by a lot of enemies, a lot of secrets will be revealed to you. But make sure you become the next patriarch that is the only thing that can make me happy. Alessandro watch your back always, inside my private office there is a ........."Don Leonardo was unable to complete his sentence when he started coughing again
"There is what father"Alessandro asked, curiosity eating him up.

"Call the doctor now"Alessandro screamed
