The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Isla Woke Up

When the gangsters treated Maren with clear respect, the tense atmosphere finally softened.

If these armed men respected Maren, surely they weren’t here as enemies.

“Relax, girls, they’re with me,” Maren reassured the girls. Then, she instructed the gangsters, “Dismantle this temporary passage and completely separate the submarine from the ferry.”

Their escape didn’t depend on the ferry anymore. The submarine alone was their ticket home.

Submerging it underwater offered a safer route back.

Taking down the quickly–built passage proved surprisingly straightforward.

“Right away!” Without hesitation, the Angels of Death members sprang into action.

Seeing these fierce men instantly obey Maren sparked a quiet envy among the girls.

Witnessing genuine authority firsthand was eye–opening.

Even though they were close in age, Maren was on a whole different level–her world seemed so distant from theirs.

As Ricky supervised outside, Maren remained in another room, keeping an eye on the still–unconscious Isla.

A slight twitch suddenly moved through Isla’s fingertips.

“Isla? Isla, can you hear me?” Clasping Isla’s hand, Maren spoke to her gently.

“Maren… Maren…” Isla whispered softly in her sleep, her voice barely audible.

“They hurt me. It hurts so much. I just want you back. Maren…”

Every word Isla muttered hit Maren like a blade, cutting deep into her heart.

“I’m right here, Isla.” Maren squeezed her hand gently. “This is all my fault; you were hurt because of me. But I’m back now. No one will ever harm you again—I swear.”

At that moment, Maren silently vowed she would exact fierce vengeance on anyone responsible for Isla’s suffering.

Every last one of them would pay dearly.

Perhaps Isla recognized Maren’s voice, perhaps sensing her presence somehow, because gradually her painful expression softened. Still, she didn’t wake up.

Maren wasn’t discouraged. After everything Isla had endured, the fact she was still breathing was already a miracle. All Maren could do was hope Isla held on just a little longer.

Once home in Baimsa, Maren knew she had the ability and resources to nurse Isla back to health.

“Boss, we’ve finished dismantling the passage. The sub’s completely separated. Any other orders?”

Right at that moment, there was a polite knock at the door. A member of the Angels of Death stood outside, waiting for orders.

Having learned from Ricky of their new allegiance, these gangsters were eager to demonstrate loyalty to Maren.

Maren stepped outside to address the assembled group.

Calmly and clearly, she commanded, “Set our course for Baimsa.”

Twenty days passed.

On the second floor of the Morgan family’s villa, Maren’s room now resembled an advanced medical ward.

Sophisticated equipment surrounded Isla’s bed, carefully monitoring her vital signs.

Every device in the room cost a small fortune.

“We’re finally past the worst of it.”

Standing next to Isla’s bed, Maren carefully reviewed the latest medical reports. After weeks of intense worry,

she finally felt lighter.

Before their return, Maren had ordered the Onyx members in Baimsa to have medical facilities fully prepared.

The moment the submarine docked, she had personally taken charge of Isla’s treatment.

Local hospitals in Baimsa simply couldn’t earn her trust.

Since their return home, Maren hadn’t left Isla’s side even once.

At last, the moment she’d been desperately waiting for finally came.

”

Maren gradually ceased the medical treatments, transitioning Isla to nutritional support instead.

Isla’s injuries weren’t life–threatening anymore. All she needed now was rest.

Maren smiled, wiping sweat from her forehead.

“Maren?”

“Isla! You’re awake!”

Maren caught sight of Isla’s eyelids slowly fluttering open. She quickly took Isla’s hand, unable to hide her joy.
