Chapter 173 - Changes In Attitude

Viona woke up when she heard the alarm from her cell phone. She opened her eyes and saw Fernando was sleeping on the chair holding her right hand tightly. Viona slowly let go of Fernando's hand. She then got up to go to the bathroom because she felt nauseous again.

After vomiting the content of her stomach, which mainly consisted of water, for ten minutes, Viona took a shower with warm water that flowed from the shower. She wet her hair with warm water, hoping that her headache would soon disappear. 

"What are you doing, Dear? Be a smart kid, please accompany Mommy to work today," Viona said softly, as she touched her stomach slowly, when she was wearing clothes in her spacious wardrobe.

When Viona came out of the closet, she just gazed flatly at Fernando, who was still asleep in the original place without changing his position. She then grabbed her work bag and walked down to the first floor to the dining table to enjoy breakfast.

The maids, who were preparing the dining table, immediately greeted Viona. They were happy to see that their Madam was fine after all. Teddy, who was standing beside the dining table, was also seen lowering his head slowly when he saw Viona sat on the chair in the dining room.

"What's this?" Asked Viona quietly, as she covered her nose when she saw the food on the table.

"This is the usual menu, Madame, bacon, sausage ...

"Get them out of my face!!" Viona screamed in panic, as she suddenly backed away her chair.

"Yes, Madame," replied a maid nervously. They immediately took away the food in front of Viona. quickly.

Seeing the maids were busy, Viona could only stand beside the dining table, while continuing to cover her mouth and nose with tears in her eyes. 

"What is it, Madame?" Teddy asked quietly.

"Are all those foods still good? Why did they smell so rotten?" Viona replied, staring hard into Teddy's eyes.

"They are all fresh, Madame, even the bacon ...

"No!!! I don't want any more pork on my dining table. Don't you ever cook me pork again!!!" Said Viona, cutting Teddy's words quickly.

"Yes, Madame," Teddy replied obediently.

Without another word, Viona then walked away quickly, leaving the dining table without eating anything. She headed straight to the car that was ready to take her to the hospital. 

The maids, who had finished tidying the dining table, were still stunned in disbelief to see Viona became so angry like that. During her time as Fernando's wife, they never heard her become angry or scream. But this morning, they were shocked when they saw Viona screaming like that at the dinner table just because of bacon, one of Fernando's favorite foods. Usually Fernando would enjoy bacon with sausage and eggs for breakfast.

"So what should we do, Teddy?" Asked Miranda the assistant.

"Looks like we have to obey what Madame said," Teddy replied flatly. 

"But you know that Mr. Fernando likes bacon," said Miranda, trying to remind Teddy.

"You know, Miranda, when a male lion already has a partner, he will submit to the lioness, and so is our Master. I'm sure Master will obey the words of Madame," Teddy replied, as he tapped Miranda's shoulder slowly. 

Teddy then walked slowly to the pantry to talk to the kitchen staff not to cook pork anymore, following the instructions of their Madam. The staff who heard Teddy's words immediately understood and they immediately acted to remove the pork from the refrigerator, so as not to make the mistress angry again.

All the way to the hospital, Viona closed her eyes and leaned back on the seat, so that Lucas was a little worried because Viona didn't usually act like that. 

"Are you sick, Madame?" Lucas asked quietly.

"No, Luke. I'm fine," Viona answered without opening her eyes.

"Okay then, Madame, if you feel uncomfortable, please let me know, Madame," Lucas said as he stepped on the gas pedal of the car.

Viona only muttered softly in response to Lucas' words. She still felt sick to smell the grilled bacon at home. 

"Lucas, please stop at the convenience store near the hospital, I want to buy something," Viona said quietly.

"Yes, Madame," Lucas replied, nodding his head slowly.

Not so long after that, the car that Lucas drove finally stopped at the convenience store. Viona immediately got out of the car and went into the shop to buy something to get rid of the nausea that still tormented her. After shopping for almost twenty minutes, Viona finally came out of the shop carrying two bags of groceries, mostly chocolates and chips and some fruit-flavored drinks. Seeing Viona struggling with the two large bags, Lucas immediately helped her without being asked.

"This is for you, Lucas," Viona said softly, as she gave a bag full of snacks.

"This is not necessary, Madame ..."

"Just accept them, don't refuse it, or I'll be angry," Viona said, cutting off Lucas' words with sharp eyes.

"Yes, Madame, I'm sorry, I'll take them, Madam," Lucas stuttered when he saw Viona's face that looked ready to explode.

"There you go," Viona squeaked with a big smile. 

Lucas swallowed his saliva slowly when he saw her mood change so quickly. He then put the grocery bag she gave him and put it on the seat next to him. Viona then seemed to enjoy the chocolate she just bought with child-like happiness, that Lucas shook his head slowly when he saw her behavior in the rearview mirror.

Viona got out of the car with some chocolate and a sushi box to the employee entrance, which was on the side of the building, when she met several other staff. Viona was seen distributing the chocolates she brought to them, which made Lucas shook his head. He did not believe that the mistress would distribute the chocolates she had bought earlier to her colleagues until there were none. 

"Madame is strange today," Lucas said softly as he looked at Viona, who was seen laughing with her friends at the entrance.

After that, Viona entered the hospital as well as the other staff. Seeing that she had entered the hospital, Lucas then stepped on the gas pedal to go home immediately and wanted to report to Fernando about what he saw today.

<FERNANDO'S MANSION>

Fernando woke up at eight in the morning and was surprised when he didn't see Viona on the bed. After he managed to control himself, Fernando then went to the bathroom to immediately get ready for the office. When he finished taking a shower, Fernando immediately went down to the dining table to enjoy breakfast. He was almost angry when he saw that his breakfast menu had changed if Teddy didn't explain why the maids had changed the breakfast menu. 

"So this is on my wife's orders?" Fernando asked Teddy repeatedly.

"Yes sir, Madame even shouted at us to get rid of pork from this house forever," Teddy replied briefly.

"Oh my God Viona…. Then I can only eat this now?" Fernando asked quietly, staring at the cereal in front of him.

"I did it on the orders of Mrs. Viona, Sir, I'm sorry," Miranda replied frightened.

"No ... you're not wrong, just do what my wife ordered as long as it's still good for everyone," Fernando replied softly as he drank the glass of milk next to him. 

Fernando had stopped drinking milk and eating cereal for more than ten years, but he could only smile bitterly when he enjoyed the sweet food again. He really didn't understand why Viona had to change his breakfast menu at home. Teddy only smiled faintly when he saw Fernando so tormented while eating his cereal and milk. He was sorry for what happened to his master.

When Fernando was still enjoying his breakfast with such gusto, Lucas suddenly came running to the dining table carrying a bag of groceries that Viona had given him before.

"What is this, Lucas?" Fernando asked, confused.

"This is Madam's groceries, Sir, this morning before we reached the hospital, Sir, she gave me all these, and sorry, Sir, I can't refuse her, because she was so angry when I refused it," Lucas replied, reporting in details. 

"Tell me in detail, Lucas," Fernando said as he put his spoon on the bowl.

Lucas took a deep breath and started telling him from the beginning when Viona got into the car until she arrived at the hospital. Everyone in the dining room looked surprised to hear Lucas's story, including Fernando, who repeatedly asked Lucas to repeat what he said.

"So Viona bought all these snacks to stock in the car when you picked me up?" Fernando shrieked in disbelief.

"Yes sir, and these are all kids' snacks," Lucas replied, looking down.

Fernando's voice caught in his throat when he saw all the snacks that Lucas had brought on the dining table. He couldn't believe Viona bought all of them. Holding his head, Fernando then contacted Doctor William on his cell phone.

"Will, what should I do now?!!" shouted Fernando when the line was connected to Dr. William.
