Chapter 261 - Invitation

Without being able to hold it, tears streamed down so profusely that they wet Louisa's beautiful face. Actually, she had heard Frank talk in his sleep before after they made love. But at that time, she thought Frank was working too much with Doctor Viona, so that he mentioned Viona's name in his dreams. But as time went by, she finally knew that Frank actually had his own feelings for Viona, who had become the wife of his own brother. 

Louisa always felt that every time Doctor Viona was around, Frank's eyes looked different, unlike when she was with him. That's what made her believe that in fact, Frank liked Viona and her suspicion was strengthened when she heard Viona's name was mentioned by Frank again. 

"Looks like it's time I gave up my feelings for you, Frank. Maybe it's time for me to erase you completely from my memory and my heart. I hope in the future you can find a woman who sincerely loves you," said Louisa, sobbing, as she let go of Frank's hand, which was still gripping her left hand firmly. 

Smack! 

Louisa kissed Frank's hand gently. She then put the man's hand back on the bed. After staring at him a little longer, Louisa then left Frank's treatment room. She didn't want anyone to see her there. This time, Louisa had really given up on her feelings. She was determined to stay away and threw her feelings for Frank. 

"Your room is still the same as the last time I visited you, Will. It's still ugly and messy," said Fernando curtly, mocking William's office. 

"Aren't you the owner of this hospital? You should renovate this office, so it looks beautiful," William answered in a rising voice in return of Fernando's taunts. 

"Hahaha, it's no wonder you don't have a girlfriend. Turns out you can't be relied on, William, hahaha," Fernando burst out laughing at William's angry expression. 

Viona just smiled seeing her husband's jokes with William. She looked around William's office with longing eyes. She missed wearing her big white coat that she usually hung in a special place behind her desk as soon as she entered her private office. She missed using the stethoscope that she used to wear around her neck. She also missed the strong smell of alcohol and medicine. Every time they passed the medicine room, William gave a code to Fernando to look at Viona, who had been silent. Fernando turned to his wife, who was sitting on the sofa when he managed to read the code given by his friend. 

"Looks like your wife is dying to get back to work," William whispered to Fernando. 

"How could it be? Don't joke, William," Fernando replied softly. 

"I can read from her eyes, Fernando. It's a look of a doctor longing to return to work. I'm sure you don't understand that, because you don't understand how we feel as medical personnel," said William in exasperation as he pinched Fernando's arm. 

Fernando was silent to hear William's words while continuing to stare at his wife, who had been staring around the doctor's office without a word. He was actually sorry to see Viona did nothing at home, but because of his fear of Frank, his brother, he finally forced Viona to stay at home. He had high hopes on the baby that she was carrying. 

"Hey, are you okay?" Fernando asked quietly while sitting next to Viona. 

"Hmmm ... yes, I'm fine. What's wrong?" Viona asked back in confusion. 

"It's okay, I'm just wondering why you're so quiet when we entered this dirty office," Fernando replied, trying to be funny to break the ice. 

"No, I'm just looking at this room. Before being used by William, this room was mine, so being here brings back memories," Viona said quietly, while trying to smile. 

When she initially worked at Global Bross Hospital, the office used by William right now was her office for the first two months she worked, after which she moved to her office which was now used by William. Fernando and William immediately fell silent and looked at each other as if they were talking with their eyes.

"Sorry, Doctor, I'm Nurse Tina," Nurse Tina's voice was heard from the front door of William's office, which was not closed. 

Nurse Tina was standing in the doorway, looking inside where Viona and Fernando were. Viona immediately turned to the source of the sound when she heard the voice of her former assistan. She immediately stood up and ran towards Nurse Tina and hugged her tightly. 

"Doctor, I really miss you," said Nurse Tina, sobbing. 

"I miss you too, Tina. How is your job? Is everything okay?" Viona asked quietly as she continued to tighten her hug to Nurse Tina. 

"Everything is fine sob sob sob …" Nurse Tina could not finish her words because she was crying. 

She missed Viona so much as Viona had been her role model for the past year. Back when Viona was still single, they often spent time together after work, sharing stories and had dinner together at their favorite restaurants until midnight, even though the next day they still had to work again. 

Seeing Viona and Nurse Tina hugged each other made Fernando invite William to get out of the office. He gave his wife the opportunity to talk to her co-worker. 

"When I saw Viona like that, my heart felt sick, Will," said Fernando quietly, as he sat in front of the chair next to William's office. 

"Why?" asked William quietly as he smiled. 

"I don't know, I feel too mean to her, but on the other hand, I don't want any danger approached her. Like today, when she met Franklin again, it felt like my heart was beating very fast," Fernando replied in a barely audible voice. 

"Restraining her too tightly like this is not good either, Fernando," William said briefly, as he patted Fernando on the shoulder. 

"I was setting my heart not to restrain her too much, Will. I'm trying to melt my ego so that it wouldn't be a torture for her to be by my side. It's just that the fear is too big, I'm afraid something bad will happen to my son. You know who Franklin is, right? I'm afraid he will do something reckless," Fernando replied softly in response to William's words. 

"It would be great if you have reduced your ego. The important thing is now to give your wife confidence. Viona can definitely take care of herself well," William said quietly. 

Fernando smiled faintly at what William had said. He was actually also surprised at himself. How could he be this protective to Viona, especially after knowing that there was already a baby in her womb? Having lost Zevanya a few years ago made him afraid of losing again. In William's office, Nurse Tina told Viona many things. She told her what had happened since Viona quit working. 

"So Doctor Cecilia has now been replaced by Doctor Robert?" Asked Viona in shock. She did not know about the change. 

"Yes, according to the rumors circulating, Doctor Robert entered so there would be no jealousy circulating among the doctors in this hospital, Doc," Tina answered in a whisper. 

"Jealousy ... jealous about what?" Viona asked in confusion. 

"Jealous because of you, Doctor," said Tina softly. 

"Me?? What about me?" Asked Viona again, in confusion. 

Nurse Tina sighed. She then told Viona in detail about what really happened. After Viona received the facility not to come to work for one full week, many doctors were jealous. They said that what Viona got was nepotism. The doctors were jealous of what Viona got until finally the news was heard by Fernando through Nurse Chloe, who was ordered by Fernando to report everything that happened at the hospital. So finally, Fernando decided to change the female surgeons to male surgeons, hence he finally recruited Doctor Robert from Russia. 

Viona was silent to hear the words of her former personal assistant. She felt guilty for being the cause of chaos in the hospital so many times that finally it had to involve her husband Fernando. 

"So Cecilia's transfer was because of me?" Asked Viona, feeling guilty. 

Cecilia was transferred to the emergency room because her position was already filled by another doctor. Nurse Tina replied quietly trying to calm Viona. 

"Looks like I have to talk directly to Cecilia, Tina. However, I have to take responsibility for what had happened," Viona said softly. 

Suddenly Viona's cell phone rang. She slowly reached for her cell phone in the bag. Her face immediately grinned when she saw her cell phone. 

"Cecilia sent her invitation to her wedding reception in two more months," Viona said excitedly. 

It turned out that Cecilia had just sent a message, inviting her to her wedding reception party with Andrew.
