After one hour of sleep, Viona opened her eyes and grabbed her cellphone that she placed in the pocket of her white coat which she had taken off. Viona, whose consciousness had not returned 100%, suddenly jolted awake from her bed as she read a message from an anonymous number.
xxx:
[How about a little surprise from me today, honey, do you like it? Tell me if you like it ...]
Your future husband
FGW
"So this is your doing, Fernando," Viona muttered softly, she could read the initials of the name listed in the incoming message.
Ding!
A message came to Viona's cell phone again.
XXX:
[Did my surprise really make you happy that you fell asleep, honey?
Tell me your other wishes, so I can make them come true, like the one where I managed to find your younger siblings in the old home, who were working as professional sex workers and had brought them to you today.]
Your future husband
FGW
"You're crazy, Fernando ��� arrgghhhh ...." Viona screamed frantically.
Her hands shook while holding her cell phone, reading the second incoming message from Fernando. She was eager to find the man and ask him directly as to his purpose of bringing her siblings to the hospital today.
She was confused by her own mixed feelings, when suddenly several doctors came in to rest, which made Viona left the room to take turns with the doctors. Viona walked out of the break room to her locker to change her clothes, because her working hours had ended today.
She wanted to go home immediately to find out where her siblings were living right now and how they got trapped in such a dark road like that. Viona remembered everything Maria had told her that she had to look after her younger siblings, a mandate that was a burden to her.
When Viona left the hospital through the staff door, she ran into staff from other divisions, who seemed to be whispering as they passed her. They talked about the medical check-up participants, a sex worker, who was a sister of Doctor Viona from the orphanage.
"What a cool orphanage to be able to produce that many generations of prostitutes, haha!"
"Maybe the head of the orphanage was also a former sex worker, hence the foster children are all prostitutes."
"If the younger siblings become prostitutes, how about the eldest sister?"
"Well, their bodies are very sexy, so it's only natural that they choose to be prostitutes."
"That's not an orphanage but an education academy for bitches... ha ha ha "
"It seems that the eldest sister could have a good job of selling herself, too. You know how costly it is to study in medical school!! How could an orphan afford a medical school if they're not supported by some rich uncles."
Thump!
Thump!
Viona's heart seemed like it was going to escape from her chest cavity upon hearing their words. Viona, who didn't have asthma or any other respiratory disorders, suddenly felt pain in her chest.
With eyes brimmed with tears, she ran with all her strength, looking for a quiet place while pressing her chest. After running for quite a distance from the hospital, she managed to arrive at a long bench near the city park.
Viona let out all the pain in her chest, she cried until she lost her voice out of shouting too much.
In all her life, she had never been so humiliated like this. Even Fernando's actions to her were not as painful as she felt right now. As she was crying, suddenly a hand tapped her shoulder from behind, which startled her.
When Viona realized who was standing behind her, her crying became even louder.
"Do you want me to sue them, Vio?" asked the man, who had been following Viona from the hospital. It was none other than Andrew. He heard and saw how those people insulted her.
"Don't do it, Andrew. Then my mother will get an even worse name to them, Andrew ... I can't let that happen," Viona replied softly.
Hearing Viona's words made Andrew stunned in disbelief. Although he thought that the person who was hurt the most was Viona, why did she have to mention his mother? Various questions popped into his mind when he contemplated her words.
"They can insult me at will, by saying I am a whore or a bitch or whatever, I can accept that. But if they say bad things like that to my mother, I can't accept that, Andrew!! My mother is everything to me, without her I could not exist in this world. Even though I was not her biological child, but because of her love, I can live, Andrew," Viona stuttered. She really couldn't control her emotions when it came to Maria.
"Even the children who were saved by Mother also said the same thing. My heart hurts, Andrew!!! I still remember clearly how Mother took them from the side of the road and made them my sisters ... but why are they now saying such bad things to Maria? She was an angel in human form, who had provided them a place to live, gave them love ... I can't accept it, Andrew. I don't want my mother to be insulted by them, Andrew," shouted Viona, beating Andrew's chest.
Andrew was silent as he heard Viona's cries. He just realized that Viona really loved her mother. A sense of awe and sadness rose at the same time inside Andrew. He finally chose to let Viona release all her emotions.
After crying for twenty minutes, finally, Viona's crying sound could not be heard again. Now she was able to calm down in Andrew's arms. Andrew could only provide his shoulder for Viona to cry, he could not say anything more as he was afraid to make Viona sad.
"Let's go home. It's getting cold, Vio," whispered Andrew softly.
"I still want to be here, Andrew. I don't want to go home, I don't want to meet the person who caused this chaos today," Viona replied softly.
Andrew was curious about what Viona said. He then turned her around and faced each other.
"What do you mean, Vio? Has anyone provoked this incident?" asked Andrew curiously.
Viona nodded softly without saying a word. She then took out her cell phone and gave it to Andrew. After reading the message on Viona's cell phone, it was now Andrew's turn to get angry.
"So this is really Fernando's doing?!" Andrew asked repeatedly in disbelief.
"You can read it, Andrew" Viona replied flatly.
"That bastard! He wants to make you fall into his arms by destroying your mentality first. That's really sneaky!!!" said Andrew, clenching his fists, trying to hold back his anger.
"I know it's Andrew. It's just that I'm still wondering how and when he found my siblings. That is my big question right now, Andrew" said Viona, expressionless.
GRAB
Andrew quickly held Viona's shoulder tightly, then he looked into her eyes sharply.
"Fernando is the number one person in this city, even though he is only a businessman. The mayor of this city is under his control, so to do something like that is a very easy thing for him, Vio," said Andrew, trying to explain the situation to Viona.
"Is that how powerful his influence is in this city, Andrew?" Viona asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, he can buy the law in this city, Vio," Andrew replied seriously.
