Chapter 204 - Frank's Confession

Hearing Viona's yell made Frank and Fernando stop their argument. They reflexively stared at Viona, who was sitting on the bed, staring at them with anger.

"If you two want to fight, please leave my room. Don't do it here, because your voices make my head even more dizzy!" Viona said with trembling breath. 

Seeing her had difficulty to breathe made Fernando immediately walked quickly to the bed where his wife was. He then hugged her tightly while apologizing over and over. 

"I'm sorry, Honey. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable like this. I'm just mad at him for making you like this, Babe," whispered Fernando to Viona in a barely audible voice. 

"What do you mean?" Viona asked quietly as she tried to release Fernando's hug. 

"Earlier when I walked over here, I accidentally met Nurse Chloe who looked panicked. I then greeted her, and she said that you were being examined by this bastard, Franklin. So I immediately ran over here and beat this jerk up," Fernando replied without feeling guilty. 

Viona was stunned to hear Fernando's words. She could not believe that her husband was angry because he misunderstood the information provided by Nurse Chloe. Anxiously, she pinched Fernando's stomach and made him scream in pain because he didn't expect to be pinched like that by her. 

"It hurts, Babe," said Fernando with puppy eyes, trying to gain her pity while holding his stomach which she had just pinched. 

"Can't you ask first before getting angry? Are you not ashamed if you know the truth?" Viona asked. 

Her eyes widened because she was annoyed to see Fernando's reckless behavior. 

"What does it mean?" Fernando's question back. 

Viona sighed at his words. She then began to tell Fernando the truth about what happened, where she had almost fainted if she was not immediately helped by Frank and William, who came on time to her room.

She even praised Frank's actions, who immediately put the IV in her left hand. Hearing her story made Fernando a little confused. He then looked at William who was standing beside Viona to confirm the truth of his wife's words. 

His smile suddenly appeared when he saw the code given by William, which confirmed her story. Fernando then laughed wide at her until he showed a row of white teeth without feeling guilty at all, so that it made her even more annoyed with her husband. 

"Apologize to Frank because you have accused him of such nonsense," said Viona in a raised voice to Fernando. 

"No!!" Fernando and Frank answered almost simultaneously. 

Hearing Frank's yell made her confused. She did not understand why her brother-in-law shouted to reject her brother's apology. And so was Fernando, who did not expect that his younger brother would say that. 

"If you are a good husband, you shouldn't let your wife work, let alone get tired like that!! Don't you have a lot of money, Fernando? Then why do you still let your wife work?" Frank said in a rising tone, while glaring intently at Fernando, who was holding Viona's hand. 

"And for you, Vio, if your husband can't take care of you properly, leave him and come to me. I will take care of you and accept your child with all my heart," Frank added with a smile on his face. 

"Frank ... watch your mouth, you jerk!!" Fernando shrieked with emotion when he heard the words of his younger brother that he had just heard. 

The one who was shocked to hear Frank's words was not only Fernando, but Viona and William also. They couldn't believe that the professor would say that in front of Fernando without any fear.

Fernando prepared to throw his punch back towards his younger brother, but his steps were held back, because Viona gripped his left hand tightly. Seeing that Fernando was unable to do anything about it, Frank chuckled. 

He finally left Viona's room with a smile full of victory because he managed to provoke his brother's emotions. After leaving Viona's room, Frank seemed to be leaning against the wall with his head pressed against the wall while looking down. There was pain in his heart when he saw Viona was sick like that. 

"You never look at me, not even once, Vio," Frank said softly as he closed his eyes. 

After he took control of himself, Frank then walked slowly, leaving Viona's practice room to his private office at the end of the hall. He walked while looking down, remembering what had just happened, where he could touch Viona again, even if only holding her hand and forehead for a short time. 

Shortly after Frank was out of sight, a beautiful female doctor came out from behind the wall with teary eyes. She had heard clearly what was being said by Frank as soon as he left Viona's practice room. 

"How many more women are there in your life, Frank?" Said the female doctor, who turned out to be Doctor Louisa, haltingly. 

"Is Doctor Viona the woman you told me before, Frank? The woman who managed to make you fall in love at first sight and is difficult to forget it even when she was married to another man? Is Doctor Viona the woman you mean, Frank?" Louisa added with aching ​​heart, remembering Frank's story that he once told about a special woman who made him fall in love. 

The sound of footsteps from the front hall made Louisa wipe her tears quickly. She didn't want anyone to see her crying in the hospital after Viona accidentally found her crying on the Ob-Gyn department emergency stairs a few weeks ago.

Louisa smiled when he saw the owner of the footsteps that sounded very loud, it turned out that Chloe was carrying an IV and some medicines in a tray, hurriedly headed to Viona's practice room. 

"Doctor Lou," said Chloe to Louisa who was standing in front of Viona's room. 

"What is all that for, Chloe? Looks like you're in a hurry," instead of answering Chloe's greeting, Louisa asked about the medicines that Chloe brought. 

"Professor Frank asked me to take all these at the pharmacy because Doctor Viona's condition suddenly dropped after work," Chloe told her the truth. 

"What!!!! Then how is her condition?" Louisa shrieked in surprise. 

"Luckily there was Doctor William and Professor Frank who immediately took care of her, so her condition was not too bad. When I went to the pharmacy, Doctor Viona had received treatment from Professor Frank," said Chloe quickly. 

"Oh, thank God," Louisa said thankfully. 

"If you want, you can come with me now into the room to see Doctor Viona's condition while delivering these medicines," Nurse Chloe invited Doctor Louisa. 

"That's not necessary, Chloe, I just send greetings to Doctor Viona. I have to go back to the room for an afternoon visit to the patients," Louisa replied, refusing Chloe's invitation. 

"Well then, I'll go in first, excuse me, Doctor," said Chloe, as she opened the door to Viona's practice room, leaving Doctor Louisa alone in front. 

Louisa only smiled at Chloe's words. After Chloe disappeared behind the door, Louisa suddenly fell on the floor. Her tears immediately rolled down her beautiful face slowly. Her heart felt very painful when she heard Chloe's words. 

"Why can't I forget you, Frank?" sobbed Doctor Louisa softly, lamenting the man she had left a few days ago.
