"I wanted to consolute something, Dr. Robert. Can my wife sees again?" Cecilia looks at her with a furrowed brow.
"What are you doing!?" she whispers. "We don't have money! How you could pay the bill?" Julia shrugged her shoulders.

"Babe, wait." Julia embracing her, but Cecilia tried to push her. Julia stroked her hair and took a deep breath. She let her wife calmed.

Matthew's face turned into pale and a lot of sweat dripping from his body. "H-he joined Mazetti's family," Julia punched a wall near her. "One of their man spotted on our territory. We interrogated him and declared Mazetti and DiNozzo alliance." Julia took a deep breath and sighed. This is what she talked about. Mazetti broke their promises.
