Chapter 10 - Lorenzo Finally Told Me Why He Hadn't Asked Me to Leave After Leo Recovered—and the Reason Had Nothing to Do With My MilkLeo was healthier.
My son was healthy.
Both babies were thriving.
The doctors were amazed.
But Lorenzo was different.
He stopped being the distant mafia boss.
He became a father.
He held Leo.
He learned how to change diapers.
He sang badly.
He woke at night.
He trusted me.
One evening, he asked:
"Do you hate me?"
"What?"
"For everything."
"You didn't do it."
"But my family did."
"That isn't your fault."
He looked at me.
"I used to believe power meant controlling everything."
"And now?"
"Now I know power means being able to let go."
He told me he wanted to sell the remaining criminal businesses.
He would keep only the legitimate ones.
The money would fund medical care for children.
He wanted to build a foundation named after Sophia.
I agreed to help.
Not because he was my boss.
Because I believed in the mission.
Then he asked:
"Would you stay?"
I looked at him.
"For the babies?"
"For me."
I couldn't answer immediately.
Then I smiled.
"Maybe."
May you like
He laughed.
"That's more than I expected."
