It took a couple of days for Tony to feel better. Marcella followed up with the doctor and he told her that he was not that hurt although he had suffered a lot of beatings. His jaws were the ones that got a lot of hurt. Those who wanted him hurt hated him, the doctor said.
Marcella knew. She didn't know who Doctor Prosperi was. Randy brought him. The doctor didn't care about how Tony got the injuries. He treated him and had a nice smile when he talked to him. He probably was instructed to.
The doctor asked her to be brave for her husband and happy that he was safe. Marcella was glad to learn that Tony's face wouldn't change after he healed.
That evening, she helped him eat. He was not allowed to chew anything hard and he was bothered by it. Only when she spoon-fed him, did he eat something. So, like a good wife, she served her husband hand and foot. To be honest, he did the same for her. She loved doing everything for him.
