Chapter 12 - Doctor Angel

6 years later

In a hospital, doctors and nurses were swamped by because there had been a school bus accident which resulted in many students being seriously injured. Fortunately, the EMT acted quickly by evacuating the victims to the nearest hospital with the help of the local residents who happened to be around the accident site.​​

"It hurts."

"Please."

"Dad... Mom..."

"Doctor, it hurts so much."

Crying and wailing could be heard in the emergency room of a state-owned hospital. The victims were a group of middle school children who were going to visit a village in Ireland. However, on the way there, there was a storm that caused the bus they were riding to slip and finally it rolled on the highway.

"Please, hurry," shouted a young female doctor, who asked for an antiseptic solution to a nurse who was carrying a large bottle of antiseptic solution. She immediately came and gave the doctor what she asked.

"Thank you," said the doctor and then went back to taking care of the patient in front of her.

All the doctors were so busy with the patients. After almost two hours, finally, all the children who were injured in the accident were treated properly.

"It's finally over," said the doctor named Tony.

"Poor kids. Their holiday should have been fun, but instead, they have to experience this," added another young doctor named Harrison.

"You better get ready. Their families will come soon," said a black-haired female doctor who wore glasses.

"Okay," answered the two young doctors in unison.

And sure enough, soon the parents of the injured kids came and ran to where their respective children were treated. The sound of crying resumed in the room. The young doctors could only give moral support to the parents of the students.

Luckily their bus accident did not cause any fatalities. The case was categorized as an accident due to a natural disaster.

"They are very lucky to escape death," said doctor Darren, the senior doctor.

"That's right, Doc. God still loves them," said Doctor Toni.

"Well, good work for you today. You guys can pack up and then go back to London tonight," said doctor Darren to the fifteen young doctors in front of him.

"Thank you, Doc," answered all the young doctors together.

The young doctors had been conducting a comparative study to hospitals in Ireland for almost two months, and today was their last day before they returned to London.

"We are finally going back to London. I can't wait!" shouted Rachel excitedly.

"Yes, I really miss the bar there," replied Mischa, Rachel's best friend.

Several male doctors appeared to help the female doctors to load their suitcases onto the bus, which would take them to the airport before they flew return to London.

"What are your plans after this?" Asked Brian, who suddenly stood beside the black-haired female doctor.

"Going back to work at the hospital, of course," the woman replied.

"I know. I mean in our one week off, what are you going to do?" asked Brian, trying to find out more.

"Brian, the bus is going soon. Come on in, we don't want to be late," replied the female doctor, changing the subject. She walked briskly the bus, which was ready to leave.

Brian stared coldly at the female doctor who had just spoken to him.

"You won't be able to refuse me any longer, Angel," muttered Brian to himself. The young doctor immediately followed his friends, who were already on the bus.

The beautiful doctor he talked to just now was Viona Angel, a former nanny who ran away from the mansion with the help of Mrs. Li, the cook there. While Viona lived in London, she was kept in touch Mrs. Li under an alias, at the suggestion of Mrs. Li herself.

It was also from Mrs. Li, that Viona found out Zeze died because of Natasya's actions, and she wanted to frame Viona for the crime. But Natasya's crime was discovered when Fernando's men accidentally tapped her cellphone. Finally, the truth was revealed.

Actually, Fernando did not blame Viona, but Viona's fear of Fernando overcame everything. She still remembered the nights when Fernando almost took away his virginity.

That was what made Viona afraid to return to Canada. She was still not sure if Fernando had forgiven her for running away. She knew exactly what kind of person Fernando was, even though Viona had only lived in that mansion for six months.

Using the money left by her foster mother, Viona continued her studies and she chose to major in medicine like her late foster father. During university, Viona also ran a muffin business by renting a small shop. That's how she finally got the money back that she had spent on college tuition by running the business. Viona now had two employees who helped her run her shop.

The cheerful and naive Viona turned into a mature woman who was more rational in thinking and acting. Living in a foreign country had made Viona's personality more graceful and mature.

She chose to focus on managing her life rather than thinking about finding a life partner. There were already many established men whom she refused subtly, including the young doctors at the hospital where she worked.

"Hey what are you daydreaming about?" Ashley suddenly asked. She was also a doctor, Viona's best friend.

"I am just remembering the past," Viona answered honestly. Who knows what made her suddenly think of Fernando.

"Are you okay, Angel?" Ashley asked in a probing tone. Viona used the name Angel as her nickname while in London.

"Yes, Ash. I'll take a rest for a while. After we get to the airport, please wake me up," Viona asked her best friend.

"Sure!" replied Ashley shortly. The girl then took out her cell phone to update her family.

Viona closed her eyes, remembering her last conversation with Mrs. Li last night, Mrs. Lily had not worked in Fernando's mansion for two months because she was sick. Fernando had fired Mrs. Lily from her job. Viona's heart ached when he finds out that the person who had helped her was now in trouble.

'Should I go back there?' Viona asked to herself. Her soul was struggling to feel the suffering that Mrs. Lily was experiencing.

"Angel, let's get out of here. Go get your bags," said Ashley. She nudged Viona who was pretending to be asleep.

"Ok," Viona replied with a smile.

***

Viona took out her suitcase slowly after refusing help from several male doctors who were still trying to approach her. The girl put her suitcase into the cabin then she sat next to a foreign man.

During the trip to London, Viona finally chatted with the man next to her. They ended up talking non-stop. It never happened to her before.

"Give me your cellphone, please," pleaded the man named Justin insistently, once their plane landed at Heathrow airport.

"Here," said Viona while giving her cellphone to Justin, her new friend.

After receiving Viona's cellphone, Justin quickly entered his number and made a call on Viona's cellphone so that Justin indirectly also had Viona's cellphone number.

"We will be separated at the airport, but you have to pick up your cell phone when I call you, Angel," Justin said several times, before he parted with Viona.

Viona just smiled then walked away from Justin, waving her hand slowly. Her mind was busy thinking about Mrs. Li.

'Mother, what should I do?' Viona kept asking herself in the taxi.
