CHAPTER 102
ROMEO'S POV
"…so, for the time being, you'll have to use a wheelchair." The bitch's voice dripped with too much calm.
Like she wasn't casually telling me I would be a cripple. "Come again?" I dared her, but the fool only folded her arms, clipboard tight to her chest.
"You can't walk yet. Your nerves need time to heal. So—"
"A wheelchair?" I cut in, disbelief curling my tone. "You want me… in a chair with wheels?" My gaze slid sideways.
Nonna sat there like royalty, her blanket draped neat, hands resting proud on her own wheels.
"You gotta be shitting me."
"Language." My old hag arched a brow.
"I'm not even thirty and you're turning me into one of you people," I said, throwing a lazy hand toward her chair.
Her lips twitched. "You people? Che sfacciato."
"I'm serious, Nonna. I'm not doing the wheelchair thing. Not happening. I'd rather crawl."
