Chapter 133 - Fernando’s Promise

Hearing Viona's words made Fernando silent for a while, his consciousness returned when he heard Viona's sobs. 

"Hey, why are you saying that?" Fernando asked quietly as he wiped Viona's tears. 

"I don't know, maybe I'm too scared," replied Viona slowly while reaching for the blanket on top of her, Viona's face showed a painful expression as she moved to take the blanket. 

Fernando, who understood Viona's wish, immediately grabbed the blanket that Viona could not reach. He quickly closed her body which was not covered by a single piece of clothing. Fernando then lay down next to Viona and left his naked body got exposed, even his Mr. P was not covered by anything. 

"I love you, Vio, do you know how long I've waited for this moment to arrive?" Fernando asked in a whisper. 

"I'm tired," Viona replied as she closed her eyes trying to change the conversation, her whole body felt weak and limp at this time. 

"Alright, we better take a break," Fernando said quietly as he hugged Viona's body, which was already covered by a blanket.

Viona smiled without answering Fernando's words, from the corner of her eyes water was flowing over her face. Tears that indicated happiness as well as fear because she gave her husband her virginity that she had been keeping so well.

Soon, there was a soft snoring sound from Fernando signaling that he was fast asleep, while Viona, who was still unable to sleep, finally forced herself to close her eyes. 

Fernando woke up when he could not find Viona in bed, he looked around his room trying to find his wife's whereabouts. When he was getting out of bed, he smiled when he saw the bloodstains on the sheets coming from Viona's body after they had slept together last night.

Fernando then walked to the bathroom when he heard the sound of running water. A smile of regret crossed Fernando's face when he saw the bruises on Viona's body which looked so contrasting with the color of her white skin.

Slowly, Fernando approached Viona who sat on the edge of the bathtub waiting for the water to be full. 

"Why don't you wake me, honey?" Fernando asked quietly. 

"I can't bear to wake you up, you're sleeping very soundly," Viona replied flatly.

"You are so cute," said Fernando while hugging Viona from behind. 

Because the water in the bathtub was already full, Fernando then invited Viona to get into the bathtub. Viona was grimacing in pain when her body was hit by the water so that it made Fernando smile with pity. 

"Does it hurt?" Fernando asked in a barely audible voice.

"Yes," Viona replied shyly. 

Fernando then bathed Viona by pouring warm water into her body, she was sitting in the bathtub while he did this. Sometimes, Fernando kissed Viona's back. 

"Don't be like that," Viona protested, pouring water on Fernando's face. 

"I'm sorry for leaving these wounds on your body," said Fernando, pointing to the bruise on Viona's hand. 

"Yeah, you are such a bad man! I hate you," Viona squeaked while hiding her hand in the water. 

Fernando laughed at Viona's words, he then put his face on Viona's back while putting his hand on her stomach.

"I'm still confused about something," Fernando said quietly.

"What are you confused about?" asked Viona quietly.

"Why did you say you have slept with Frank, the other day? I thought you knew that I'm going to go crazy like yesterday if you said such nonsense?" replied Fernando in an apologetic tone.

"I don't want to do that when you're angry with me. Isn't it the same as rape?" said Viona as she closed her eyes remembering what Fernando did after she confessed to sleeping with Frank. 

Fernando raised his face then got up from his bathtub and moved to sit in front of Viona, who still closed her eyes. Fernando slowly touched the torn wound on Viona's lips. 

"Don't make me do something like this again, okay?" Fernando said quietly as he kissed Viona's lips softly. 

Viona opened her eyes and leaned back on the edge of the bath, smiling faintly. 

"You should be the one who learns self-control, but with yesterday's incident, I was able to know one thing. That in the future I will often experience things like that again in the future," said Viona sarcastically to Fernando.

"No!!! I promise I won't do that again, I promise, honey. Yesterday was the first and last time I did that to you," replied Fernando quickly as he crawled towards Viona.

"Is it true? What are the consequences if you do that again?" asked Viona quietly.

"I would rather die than hurting you again like the other day, but please don't say strange things like yesterday ever again," asked Fernando hopefully. 

Viona nodded her head slowly then smiled faintly at Fernando's words, she then washed her body with water because they have been in the shower for too long.

Viona finished her bath and so did Fernando. Soon, they got up from the bath with a towel to cover their bodies. Because Viona was still too weak, Fernando finally asked the servant to deliver the food to the room, they both enjoyed breakfast in their master bedroom. 

"I have a meeting until evening, today. Are you going to be okay if I leave you by yourself at home?" asked Fernando to open the conversation.

"Huum, I'm fine" replied Viona briefly.

"Justin has submitted a request for your absence to the hospital so you don't have to worry about that. You should just rest at home while waiting for me to come back," said Fernando with a smile. 

"I don't feel comfortable if I keep missing my work," said Viona softly.

"What does that mean?" asked Fernando, raising his voice.

"I mean, I've skipped work so many times and I feel bad for other staff who have to replace my shift at work," Viona answered softly.

"Are you saying that you prefer to go to the office in your current condition? Can you even walk properly?" said Fernando, teasing Viona. 

Blush 

Viona's face immediately got red at Fernando's words, she tried to shift her gaze to another place to try to hide her face from her husband.

Fernando, who knew Viona was avoiding him, could only smile slightly. He got up from his chair and sat next to Viona. Slowly, he took Viona's hand and he kissed her slowly on the back of her wife's hand. 

"Take it easy, it will hurt on the first day, after that it won't hurt anymore. Shall we prove it?" asked Fernando, teasing Viona again.

"Akhhh stop teasing me! Just go," Viona replied quickly, shouting.

"Ha ha ha, you are really funny, I have to go to the office now," said Fernando while saying goodbye to his wife.

"Be careful," Viona said quickly. 

Fernando nodded slowly then walked to reach his expensive coat, he then walked out of the room leaving Viona alone. All the way walking out of the room, Fernando smiled faintly remembering what he had been through last night. 

"You've taken care of everything, right, Justin?" Fernando asked his personal assistant quietly when he got in the car.

"Yes, sir," Justin replied, nodding softly.

"Good, I want my wife to rest at home for a few days," said Fernando quietly. 

Justin nodded slowly in response to Fernando's words, they then discussed a project that was being worked on by Fernando's office. Fernando had a habit of exchanging ideas with Justin before a meeting with high-ranking officials in the office.

<GLOBAL HOSPITAL BROSS>

Gossip about Viona's pregnancy spread widely into the hospital after Viona's absence from work for two days. No one knew who spread the rumors for the first time and almost all staff at the hospital believed the rumors. 

"What's wrong with you, guys? If Doctor Viona is pregnant, that's great news. After all, she's already married!! So it's only natural that Doctor Viona is pregnant," said Nurse Tina curtly, she was very tired of being asked by other staff.

"But, you know Doctor Viona just got married for a few days, how come she already got pregnant?" said Doctor Ammy's assistant named Nurse Mira, she was known to dislike Viona.

"Hey, watch your words!!! You don't want to have the same fate as Doctor Ammy, right?" Nurse Tina snapped at Nurse Mira emotionally. 

Hearing Nurse Tina's words immediately made Nurse Mira silent, soon after that Nurse Mira left Nurse Tina in the locker room.

"She must be the one who spread the gossip!! Such a cheap girl," said Nurse Tina irritated, she was also angry when Viona was rumored to be pregnant out of wedlock even though she knew what Viona was like.

Because working hours had almost started, Nurse Tina finally walked quickly to the briefing room just like what she always did every morning.

Without the knowledge of Nurse Tina, Professor Frank overheard all the conversations of the nurses in the dressing room while hiding behind the door. He got extremely irritated when he heard the nurses say that Viona was pregnant. 

"No!!! You can only carry my child, Vio. I will make sure that as soon as possible," said Professor Frank to himself as he grabbed his hand.
