Chapter 4 - Luca Is Rushed to the Private Hospital Wing
The medical transport helicopter hovered above the estate lawn, kicking up a fierce gale of wind and dust.
Paramedics rushed out with a portable pediatric stretcher, loading young Luca into the secure cabin.
Vittorio climbed aboard beside his son, holding the boy’s small, clammy hand in his own large grip.
“You’re going to be okay, buddy, Daddy is right here,” Vittorio whispered, kissing Luca’s forehead.
The helicopter lifted off swiftly, banking sharply toward the private medical center downtown.
Back on the patio, Bernadette stood helplessly under the watchful eye of armed estate guards.
She watched the aircraft disappear into the grey afternoon sky, knowing her carefully built world was collapsing.
Within minutes, the medical team at the hospital admitted Luca into the high-security pediatric ICU ward.
Specialized toxicologists prepped emergency intravenous lines to flush the unidentified poison from his bloodstream.
