Chapter 33 - Seeking For Help

Viona woke up with pain in her head. She tried to remember what happened and cast her glance around her. Her tears were flowing, remembering what Fernando had just done to her.

She touched her chest, which was full of purplish-red marks as a result of Fernando's deeds the night before. Her eyes caught a piece of paper written on the nightstand containing a note from Fernando. Under the note was a brown envelope with the words "Read me" on it.​​

Viona slowly opened the envelope. Viona's heart suddenly seemed to want to stop when reading it. It was a contract file that Fernando made for her.

The file was an agreement during the marriage contract between Fernando and herself. Hadn't coped up with the shock, Viona was again surprised when she read the articles listed in the file, which included:

- The second party must stay at the first party's house.

- The second party must not fight back or try to escape from the first party.

- The second party must be ready to serve the first party if the first party wants the second party.

- The second party is not allowed to come into contact with anyone of the opposite sex even if it is a second party's patient.

"This is crazy," Viona shouted in desperate as she threw the file to the wall until it scattered in the air. "You are CRAZY!!!"

Viona knew that Fernando would not let her go. One thing she regretted was – she thought that Fernando would change.

If only Viona could be a little selfish, and full of herself, she would have chosen not to return to Canada. When Viona threw away the file Fernando gave her, she forgot the piece of paper that was on top of the file.

Viona slowly took the paper that contained the written prescription from Fernando's personal doctor who had treated the wound on her head.

BADUMP.

"I know who can help me now," Viona said to herself. She then changed clothes and quickly tidied up the files she threw away earlier.

Viona quickly came out of her apartment carrying a bag containing some of her clothes and essential belongings containing documents and passports along with the amount of cash she had.

After confirming that there were no Fernando's men on guard, Viona immediately ran to the emergency stairs because she didn't want to take the risk of meeting Fernando or his men in the elevator.

Viona quickly ran to the highway and intercepted a taxi. She then contacted someone whom she hoped would save her from Fernando's grasp.

It didn't take long before the cab that Viona was taking arrived at a restaurant where someone was waiting for her.

"Professor Frank," Viona called Professor Frank who was sitting on a chair, enjoying a glass of cappuccino.

"Doctor Angel," said Professor Frank with a smile. Apparently the person Viona had contacted was Professor Frank, Fernando's younger brother.

Viona immediately walked in hurried steps to professor Frank and hugged the young professor while crying. Seeing Viona crying made the young professor's heart break into pieces.

He then stroked Viona's shoulder hair, trying to calm her down.

"Take me to where you live," Viona asked softly as she cried.

"What do you mean Doctor Angel?" Professor Frank asked, surprised because he knew what kind of woman he was hugging.

"I wanna show you something, but not here..." said Viona, begging.

Professor Frank retracted his hug and then let Viona sit In the chair. He quickly kissed Viona's forehead, and Viona couldn't dodge.

The gauze that covered the wound on her forehead had been taken off so that no one would notice if they didn't look closely. Professor Frank also could not see the wound.

Viona just silently received the kind treatment from Professor Frank. Right now, she didn't have enough energy to argue with the man in front of her.

Professor Frank then walked to the cashier and paid for the bill while carrying a bag containing the food he had ordered earlier.

He approached Viona and took her out of the restaurant to get her into his sports car, which was parked nicely in front of the restaurant.

Professor Frank slowly put the seat belt on Viona, then fastened the belt himself and drove the car away from the restaurant towards his house.

Viona just sat limply staring at the view through the glass beside her, ignoring Professor Frank's question, because she was still tired.

Viona finally closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep in the car.

"Doctor Angel, wake up, we're here," Professor Frank whispered while touching Viona's shoulder.

"Akkh, no!" Viona screamed in surprise. Cold sweat was pouring from her injured forehead.

Apparently, the wound opened again when Viona slept and accidentally stained Professor Frank's car seat.

"Hey, you're bleeding, what's wrong with you, Doctor Angel??!!!" asked Professor Frank frantically when he saw the red liquid running down Viona's face.

"Come on in please," Viona asked pleadingly.

Professor Frank then chose to follow Viona's request. He led Viona into his house.

Since graduating from medical school, Professor Frank chose to live in his own house rather than living with his older brother Fernando.

Since the death of their parents, the siblings only got along well in public, even though in fact, they have not spoken to each other.
