Chapter 6 - The Nurse's Protection
While the guards restrained Victoria and Dr. Crane, Maya walked swiftly to the transparent crib.
She picked up tiny Nico, cradling his warm body against her shoulder, gently patting his back as the baby let out a soft, sleepy sigh. The monitors on the wall stabilized, showing perfectly normal heart rates and oxygen levels.
Lorenzo walked over to the crib, his dark eyes softening completely as he looked down at his sleeping son. For eight months, he had been paranoid, constantly hiring and firing medical staff because the child suffered from mysterious nighttime sputters and sudden fevers.
He had believed his son was born sickly. In reality, Victoria had been micro-dosing the child's midnight bottles for nine weeks to weaken his immune system before delivering the final, fatal dose.
"He's safe," Maya whispered gently, holding the infant securely in her arms. "The milk in his stomach right now was from the clean batch I prepared myself two hours ago."
Lorenzo looked up from his son to Maya's calm face. The ruthless mafia kingpin, feared by every criminal syndicate across the state, felt a sudden wave of humble, overwhelming gratitude.
