Chapter 51 - The Accusation

Hearing Amber's words made Viona's tears flow profusely. She couldn't believe that the sister she once shared the same roof with had smeared Maria's name after Maria had taken care of them and saved their lives from childhood. Several nurses appeared and tried to calm Viona who was very shocked.

"If you think I will adore that old woman, then you are wrong, Viona!! "said Amber while tidying up her thick layer of makeup.

"Oh, by the way, I heard she is dead, right? She deserved to get cancer and die-"

SLAP!

Viona raised her hand and slapped Amber's cheeks so that she couldn't finish her words of insults. She couldn't let her beloved mother be insulted like this by Amber.

Viona's co-workers seemed shocked to see Viona's actions, including Professor Frank and Fernando, who had seen their commotion from the first time Amber shouted at Viona.

"You .. watch your words, Amber!! If Maria didn't save you, who knows what happened to you at that time. I clearly saw how Maria saved you from the roadside in the snow when you were 3 years old. How could you badmouth our foster mother!! Are you out of your mind?!!!" Viona snapped. All her life, Viona had never been this angry with anyone.

"I thought your ugly character will change when you become an adult but I was wrong!!!" Viona added with a look full of anger leading to Amber, who was still surprised to get a slap from Viona.

Amber, who had been a rebel since she was a child, seemed a little afraid to see Viona angry. When she was still at the orphanage, Viona was never angry at all. She always gave in to all of her younger siblings. Amber couldn't hide her surprise to see Viona angry.

"I don't know how you could have the heart to insult Maria. She was an angel who had saved your life and gave you shelter for nearly eight years!" said Viona while walking towards Amber who was standing near the wall, without realizing she had walked back and leaned on the wall.

"Do you think mother will be happy to see you like now? What happened to you?" asked Viona in a trembling voice.

Amber looked away from Viona. She could not stand to face Viona 

directly. She quickly grabbed her bag that was on the chair and ran away from the room after pushing Viona back. Seeing Amber leaving, the other nine girls followed Amber's actions.

"Bella, please wait. I want to talk for a moment. Can you please stay?" Said Viona, pulling Bella's hand, who looked like she was also leaving.

Bella, whose hand was held by Viona, seemed to be trying to get away from Viona. She roughly tapped Viona's hand until she managed to get away from her.

"Come on Viona. You don't have to keep pretending to be nice. We know that what Amber said is a fact. I'm disappointed in you," Bella said as she ran away from Viona.

Viona, who was still confused because she could meet ten of her foster siblings, didn't understand what Bella was talking about. She could only stare at Bella's departure, who had gone away.

"Do you know them, Doctor?" Asked Nurse Tina who was standing beside Viona.

"They are my sisters," Viona answered honestly.

"Are you serious? But they are only bar girls," said Nurse Tina. "They work in one of the bars in the edge of the town."

"Bar girls? Are you serious??" asked Viona in a raised voice.

Nurse Tina then pulled Viona out of the room to a garden outside the hospital past Professor Frank, who was still glaring at Viona.

Viona was very shocked when she heard Nurse Tina's words. Her tears dripped down when she heard details about who they girls were. 

When she heard Amber insult her, Viona's heart was not as painful as this, knowing her siblings had become prostitutes. It really pained her heart.

"Mother must be very... *sobs* .. I'm sorry Mom.. I can't take care of my younger siblings," Viona cried over and over.

Seeing Viona crying made Nurse Tina take pity. She never knew that a perfect doctor like Viona grew up in an orphanage. If it weren't for Viona who told her, then Nurse Tina wouldn't believe it.

"Everything that happens to them is their own decision, Doctor. You can't blame yourself like this," said Nurse Tina trying to calm Viona, who kept saying apologizing to Maria.

"I thought they will be happy living with their adoptive parents. I think they will be successful people. But seeing their condition made me almost faint," Viona sobbed haltingly.

Unknown to Viona, professor Frank and several other medical staff heard all their conversations. Some doctors didn't seem to believe that this great doctor came from an orphanage. Because they saw Viona's great abilities, they all thought Viona was the daughter of a wealthy family.

A nurse ran towards Viona and Nurse Tina. After she arrived at the place where Viona sat, she whispered something that made Viona immediately get up from her seat and ran towards the side door of the hospital. Seeing Viona leaving made Professor Frank curious. He decided to follow Viona's steps.

Viona stopped her steps when she saw a woman sitting waiting for her near a tree.

"Laura!!" shouted Viona when she recognized the person who asked her to come.

The girl named Laura got up from her seat and walked over to Viona. Viona quickly hugged her foster sister. She really missed her foster sister. Laura returned Viona's hug.

"Viona, what happened?" asked Laura after releasing Viona's hug.

"Why are you asking me? I'm the one who should ask you, Laura," Viona replied in confusion.

Laura was silent, hearing Viona's words. She looked down and took a deep breath.

"Is it true that Amber said that after Maria died, you sold the orphanage for your own gain?" Laura asked with a sharp look.

"Whaaaaat??" shrieked Viona in shock.
