At present, although the business of oil, maritime passenger transport and trade has stopped, the business of tobacco and wine is running smoothly.

In addition to the dividends to Mar Vitini and others, Russell's cash box contained 75.4 million lire, which was entirely his personal savings, and the insurance money and operating records on the books of various companies were not counted, after all, companies also need money to operate.

Russell is not very satisfied with this amount of money, because even if all of it is converted into reality, it will only be 754,000, which is just enough to buy a small apartment.

So Russell didn't plan to leave after giving birth to Marlena, so he had to stay with her for a while.

The two lived in the windmill courtyard for more than half a month, and when the Allies left Sicily to attack the Italian mainland, Russell took Marlena down the mountain to the hospital, because she was about to give birth.

The hospital in Palermo has the best level of medical care on the island, and Marlena lives in a single luxury room, which costs 800 lira a day, which is equivalent to 400 lire in 40 years due to the significant depreciation of the lira.

It's not very expensive, after all, this is the wife of the Sicilian godfather, and if she gives birth to a boy, then the child will be the heir to the Corleone family!

So, I have to pay attention.

Sylvana came from the town to take care of Marlena.

Felistto personally protected Russell, and sent people to watch the door of the ward in turn, and even the doctor's rounds had to be searched to confirm his identity, and strangers could not approach it at all.

Don't think it's a big fuss, it's actually very necessary.

In the suite next to the ward, Felisto lit Russell's cigar and stood in the doorway.

Oriyatu sat in a chair directly across from Russell and reported.

"Godfather, our tobacco and wine business brought us six million lira in profit last month. Harvey, Messinade, let me ask if you can supply the Allies with alcohol and tobacco at normal market prices. ”

Russell spit out smoke and said, "Of course it can be provided, who is not selling it?" Let Nottings and Harvey learn that Oil Town is out of business, but we don't have any other business to do? If there is no benefit, we will create benefits, and if there is no opportunity to make a profit, we will grab and fight. ”

"Yes."

Oriatu nodded in response, "Godfather, those who led the way for the Allies have also found out. ”

"Tell me."

"They were all Italian-Americans, and they fled to New York to escape the disaster when Mussolini sent people to suppress the Italian mafia."

"After the Allies landed in Sicily, these people led the way to the Zhengfu building, the airport, the bank... Although the Allies did not get anything, their actions were undoubtedly mutiny! ”

"Right now, these people are inquiring about our tobacco companies and seem to want to cooperate."

Russell crossed his legs in contemplation, and after a moment put the cigar on the ashtray, and said, "If they want to ship the tobacco to New York, then sell it to them at eighty percent of the retail price." If they have other plans, dismiss them in advance. ”

"Understood! Godfather, what if they want to go back to Sicily? ”

"Then let them sleep forever in Sicily. Remember, dogs who are forced to flee and want to go home can't get rid of their poop habits. Once they have nested in Sicily, they will think that this is their territory, and over time they will eventually meet each other. ”

Oriatu understood, "Okay, if they're going to stay, then we'll dismiss their attempts in advance." ”

At this moment, there was a running sound in the hallway, and Civina shouted loudly: "Mr. Corleone! ”

Felisto turned to look at Russell, and under his gaze, Felisto opened the door.

Sivena stood in the doorway, gasping, "Mr. Corleone, Madame is about to give birth. ”

Russell jerked up from the couch and strode out of the room toward the delivery room.

The three of them followed closely.

At the door of the delivery room, when Russell arrived, Marlena was lying on the push bed.

He stepped forward and grabbed Marlena's hand and said, "How's it going?" ”

"Don't worry, there won't be any danger."

Russell looked at her pale and sweaty face, got up and said to the doctor, "According to what we talked about before, you must minimize the risk. ”

Doctor: "Yes, Monsieur Corleone, I am the best obstetrician in Sicily, and you can trust me." ”

"Good!" Russell leaned over to Marlena and said, "I'm just outside, I'm not going anywhere." ”

Marlena nodded, and was then wheeled into the delivery room by the nurse.

Russell was a little anxious in the corridor, after all, he had never experienced this kind of thing, and he was a little worried while looking forward to it, after all, the bloody plot on TV would always cause something to happen when a pregnant woman gave birth, which was very disgusting.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the nurse came with good news.

"Madame Corleone is very safe, congratulations to you, Mr. Corleone, your son is also healthy!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Russell's face.

"Thanks, can I go in now?"

"Of course, Madame Corleone needs you."

Russell strode into the delivery room, and Felistto handed the money to Celena, asking her to send some care to the nurses and doctors.

When the nurses and doctors received the money, they were very surprised and thanked them repeatedly.

Inside the delivery room.

Marlena's eyes were watery, and she looked at Russell who walked in a little weakly.

"Honey."

"Oh! Thank you, Marlena, you're amazing, we have a son. ”

Marlena smiled and said, "Then do you like your son?" ”

"I like boys and girls, but of course my favorite is you, Marlena."

Hearing this, Marlena's heart was sweet, she had just seen it clearly, Russell had just entered the delivery room and came straight to her, without looking at the baby next to her.

She knew that Russell cared about her very much, and even felt a little sorry for her to have a child.

Marlena had never felt so happy, and she was content with it.

"You should come up with a name for our son, have you figured it out?"

Russell was stunned and said, "Marlena, you were too tired just now, and now you need to rest." ”

"Honey, you wouldn't have thought about it, would you?"

"How so?"

Marlena smiled and said, "Then you think slowly, okay?" Let me see our son. ”

Russell nodded, turned around and walked to the crib, looking down to see his son.

To be honest, it's a bit ugly at first glance......

Newborn children are like this, they look crumpled.

Russell was very careful with the child, because his bones did not grow well, as if he was holding a ball of cotton, soft.

Holding the child in front of Marlena, Russell saw her brow furrowed.

She must have been a little disgusted too.

"Honey, this is our son?"

"Yes......"

"Okay, so cute!"

Russell replied, "Yes, it's very similar to you." ”

Marlena was stunned for a moment and said, "He is your son, more like you." ”

"Well, when he's older, we're talking about who he's more like. Now, you should go back to your room and rest and let Sivena make you something to eat. ”

Back in the room, Russell looked down and thought about what name he should give his child.
