Chapter 65 Near The End

• Ahmed felt desperate; the hours passed, and he feared that Carlo, feeling cornered, would harm Aisha. The doctor told him he would need to stay in the hospital for a few days; not doing so might reopen the wound.
• Basima was by his side, crying at the thought of her son dying. She also feared for Arkham's life, knowing that she was partly responsible for his actions; she had encouraged him to behave that way for a long time, and now she regretted it, realizing that her actions had destroyed their family.
• Vinizzio, reluctantly, had to return to Italy. He wanted to hand over his territory and leave that life behind. Caroline refused to accompany him; she stayed by Amira's side, hoping that Aisha would be rescued soon, wanting to be there to welcome her.
