Hearing Viona's words made Fernando laugh out loud to tears. He was amused by Viona's unreasonable words. Meanwhile, Viona squinted her eyes at the sight of her husband laughing like that. She even slammed her burrito on the plate roughly.
"What's so funny?" Viona asked as she glared at her husband.
"No, Babe, I'm just so happy that I laugh like that knowing that my baby could be angry like that to me," Fernando replied softly as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"It can even ma…"
Bam!
Fernando immediately hugged Viona tightly so that she could not finish her words. He kissed her forehead repeatedly with great affection while continuing to hug her. A smile appeared on Viona's face, because he treated her like that.
"I love you, Vio. Don't ever leave me," Fernando whispered softly into her ear.
"Really? What is the proof that you love me?" Viona asked quietly.
"I can do anything for you as long as it makes you happy. I would even kill people if you want me to, Babe," Fernando replied with a smile.
"What did you say, Babe?! Don't do that anymore, don't go around taking someone's life like that. I don't want to have a murderous husband!!" Viona yelled in a loud voice as she pushed Fernando away from her.
Fernando smiled at her words. He then hugged her tightly again while stroking her hair slowly.
"Calm down, Honey. The old Fernando isn't the present Fernando. As long as you are beside me and continue to accompany me, I will continue to try to be a husband that you can be proud of," Fernando whispered softly.
"Promise me, never do what you did in the past," Viona said softly as she hit Fernando slowly on the chest.
"Yes, Babe, I promise. Don't I have to set a good example for my child?" Fernando replied softly as he touched Viona's stomach.
Viona smiled at his words. There was a strange feeling that made her heart warm right now. A feeling that Viona could not describe logically. What she knew right now was that she felt comfortable in Fernando's arms.
"I'm sleepy," Viona said softly, yawning.
"One second, let me carry you to the bed," Fernando replied softly while carrying Viona in bridal style.
He slowly laid her on the bed, the he laid down next to her and hugged her tightly.
"Can we be like this forever?" Viona asked quietly in a barely audible voice.
"Of course, we will be happy forever like this and I will not let anyone disturb our happiness," Fernando replied with confidence.
"I believe in you ..." said Viona softly, as she closed her eyes slowly.
Fernando kissed her forehead gently and fell asleep together with Viona, who had fallen asleep first. Even though the sun had not completely set on the western horizon, the couple had slept soundly while hugging each other as if they were afraid to lose one another, with happy smiling faces.

<GLOBAL BROSS HOSPITAL>
For six days, Viona officially stopped working and her position was replaced by Doctor Cecilia, who still could not fully win over the patients.
Most patients still refused to be examined by Doctor Cecilia for no reason. They still asked to be examined by Doctor Viona, even though they had been given an explanation that Doctor Viona had resigned.
A middle-aged male patient even went home immediately when he found out that Doctor Viona was not going to examine him. Being treated like that by a patient had put Cecilia down. Every time she finished work, she would cry in the toilet of her examination room and locked herself from the inside for thirty minutes.

"Doctor, are you alright?" Chloe asked worriedly, because Cecilia had not come out of the bathroom for twenty minutes.
"Doc ... if you don't open the door, then I will …"
Clicked!
The bathroom door opened from the inside and Cecilia came out with eyes still red and swollen. Her face looked pale as well, which made Chloe worried and did not continue her previous words.
"Are you okay, Doctor?" Chloe asked again, while guiding Cecilia to sit on the sofa.
"I don't think I can continue to do it like this. It hurts so much to be rejected and insulted by the patients ... sob ... They haven't even received my treatment yet, but they've already rejected me and hoo hoo ..." Cecilia's tears finally burst after enduring her heartache for six days.
Chloe then hugged Cecilia to give her support. She had seen with her own eyes how Cecilia was being cursed at by the patients. Chloe felt sorry for Cecilia due to Viona's resignation, but on the other hand, she couldn't blame Doctor Viona because this was also her personal right to stop working.
"I don't seem to be fit to replace Doctor Viona, Chloe," Cecilia sobbed as she wiped her tears slowly.
"Please don't say that, Doc. It's only a matter of time, slowly the patients will understand," said Chloe, trying to encourage Cecilia.
"But can I be successful? Sob ... I will not be able to be like Doctor Viona," Cecilia replied softly.
Chloe could only be silent hearing what Cecilia said. She knew that Cecilia was devastated right now. The burden given to her was too heavy for her to bear, let alone to replace Doctor Viona, who was the best doctor in her field.
Unbeknownst to Chloe and Cecilia, outside the door, Frank stood up and heard all the conversation between the two of them. A smile appeared on his handsome face as his plan was running as smoothly as he wanted.
"You can indeed make Viona leave this hospital, but you need to remember these patients are the life of the hospital. I want to see how much longer you guys can deal with this problem," Frank said happily. His sharp eyes stared at William's office whose door was closed.
Not long after, Professor Frank returned to work at his practice room. As he passed Louisa's empty room, his heart rustled. It had been one week that he had not seen Louisa at the hospital.
Even the hospital management had been unable to provide an explanation for Louisa's absence. They only said that Louisa had taken her annual leave for family purposes that were not specifically explained.
"So why do I have to think about that woman? I better focus on thinking of ways to bring Viona back to the hospital," Frank said softly as he continued his journey to his practice room with firm steps.
Along the way to his practice room, many new nurses greeted Frank and were answered with a sweet smile from Frank's lips, so that the new nurses cheered with joy because their greetings were responded by the handsome professor, who was still single.
Ammy, who saw what the nurses were doing, became furious. She was annoyed by what the new workers were doing. She felt that she had the rights over Frank, who was now her master.
Bang!
"Ouch!" Shrieked the two new nurses, who had greeted Frank, in pain as they fell on the floor after being hit by Ammy, who was carrying a trolley.
"Why do you guys stand here? It's a public hallway. If you want to gossip, please go to the park or the cafeteria, not on public hallways like this," Ammy snapped.
"We're just ..."
"Just what? You two are new nurses, instead of working well, you're both acting cute like that! Don't think I didn't see what you were doing, so don't make excuses," Ammy snapped, interrupting the words of a nurse with Asian features.
Hearing Ammy's words made the two nurses frightened. They both tried to get up from the floor and walked away limping, leaving Ammy quickly after apologizing to her. After the two nurses left, Ammy just pushed the trolley that she brought to the end of the hall.
"Before I can get Fernando, Frank can't be approached by other women," Ammy said coldly.
She then continued her steps towards the emergency room where she worked with a fast pace as it was almost her working hour, as she was on duty for the afternoon shift, replacing the doctor on duty in the morning.
"Be patient, Ammy. After Frank can take the whore out of Fernando's mansion, you will quickly replace the position of the whore immediately," Ammy muttered softly with happy heart after knowing that Frank's plan was working well.
