Fernando walked quickly towards the doctors' break room which was near the locker room of the hospital staff. His mind was already wandering on Viona. In his heart, he repeatedly cursed and blamed Frank for what happened to the girl.
He knew exactly who Jessica was. He got the reports from his men that he ordered to spy on the woman to find out about her relationship with his younger brother, Frank, during the past year.
Fernando's hatred for Jessica intensified when he finally found out that she was the one who destroyed Viona's apartment.
"That bitch!" he muttered under his breath when he remembered Jessica.
Fernando's steps stopped when he reached the door of the break room. His eyes stared at Frank, who was sleeping with his right arm wrapped in bandages due to the injury, while on the other bed, Viona was also asleep with a nurse who guarded her on the edge of the bed.
Fernando's heart was in a mess when he saw the slight scratch on Viona's right cheek. His anger rose again when he saw the scratch.
"Damn you, Frank ...!!" Fernando said to himself as he walked towards Frank's bed. Even though he was angry with his brother, he tried to remain professional to maintain his reputation in front of the hospital executives, who were standing behind him.
"Frank, are you okay?" Fernando asked quietly, touching Professor Frank's shoulder to wake him up.
"Hmmmmm.. Fernando, why are you here?" Professor Frank jolted awake and asked his brother in surprise when he opened his eyes.
"Of course I'm here. How could I stay still in the office when I found out that my brother broke the glass to help a doctor who was being held by an angry patient," Fernando replied with a slightly raised tone to insult his younger brother.
Frank, who already knew what Fernando was talking about, only smiled as he tried to get up from his sleeping position, which Fernando then helped to lean against the wall.
Frank glanced at Viona who was still asleep, while Nurse Tina was awake and looked surprised when she saw so many important people had entered the break room. She then immediately tidied up her hair, which was slightly messy.
"No!! Don't wake up Doctor Viona," said Fernando, quickly forbidding Nurse Tina to wake Viona.
"Let Doctor Viona rest, she must be in shock," Fernando added, tapping Professor Frank's thigh.
Nurse Tina nodded slowly then smiled, and then stood beside Viona's bed. Fernando then spoke to several executives in the room by pointing at Professor Frank and Viona.
The executives nodded slowly and then soon they left the room without Fernando, who still wanted to talk to his brother.
"You can go, Nurse," Frank asked Nurse Tina, who was still standing near Viona. "I need to talk to Professor Frank regarding the incident today."
"Yes, Sir," replied Nurse Tina quickly. She went outside, leaving the three people in the break room.
As soon as Nurse Tina left, Fernando revealed his true nature. He immediately threw a punch to Frank's face, causing Professor Frank's lips to break and bleed.
"I'm really going to kill you, Frank, if you can't properly educate your crazy bitch!!!" Fernando said with a raised tone.
"What do you mean?" asked Frank, pretending not to understand what his brother meant to say.
"You know that it was your bitch who terrorized my Viona. Today she even tried to injure Viona, right?!!" Fernando replied with fiery eyes. "Don't test my patience because I don't have any!"
"Your Viona?? Since when did she become yours?" Frank asked, wiping the blood flowing from his lips. He was just as furious as Fernando.
GRABBED
Fernando grabbed his younger brother by the collar tightly, when he heard his younger brother's words.
"You've been out of control for too long, Frank!! Remember your limits!" Fernando snapped in front of Frank's face. "I won't hold back just because you are my brother."
"What's the limit, Bro? You're the one who has stolen all my happiness. Now you also want to take Viona away from me!!" replied Frank, fending off Fernando's hand that was gripping his collar.
"You and Jacob are the same! You are both crazy!" Frank added as he sat there. Then he got up and walked away, leaving Fernando with Viona. His emotions really rose when Fernando claimed that Viona was his.
Hearing Frank's words made Fernando immediately petrified, he did not expect his brother to still remember the fateful incident that he had tried to bury. An event that made Frank leave the house and destroy their relationship, which kept them from talking for almost two years.
It was a dark event that happened ten years ago, which made him hate Jacob, his father, too. Even when their father died, he and Frank chose not to attend his funeral.
Fernando sat on the bed that Frank had slept on before. His heart was hurt when he remembered that fateful event ten years ago. Because of that incident, he had become so hateful to women and never believed in love, until he finally saw Viona six years ago.
Since then, Fernando believed that Viona had succeeded in filling back the empty space in his heart. Because of that, he desperately chased Viona, even though he had to compete with his younger brother, Frank.
Fernando walked over to Viona's bed, and then stroked Viona's face, who was still asleep. His hands trembled as they touched the scratches on Viona's face. A smile spread on Fernando's face as he remembered the good times they had six years ago.
"You are here to fill my empty soul, Vio. Because of that, I will not allow anyone to take you away from me." Fernando said softly, then kissed Viona's forehead slowly.
After taking a long look at Viona, Fernando then left the doctors' break room to let her rest. He went to the executive room, where his presence had been awaited by the other hospital officials.
