Chapter 240 - "We Are Just Hungry"

Because Robert was new, he didn't know the names of the employees at Global Bross Hospital. He asked Louisa for help to tell him the names of important people at Global Bross Hospital. Louisa was happy to provide this information to Robert because her practice schedule was still long.

"So, this one is Viona whose position I replace?" Robert asked her when he saw Viona's photo and profile in the employee register book at Global Bross.

"Yes, that's right, she is also the wife of the highest shareholder in this hospital," Louisa answered, pointing to Fernando's photo on the previous page.

"Wow, two people who have different backgrounds got married? It's amazing," said Robert, commenting on Fernando's photo.

"What do you mean?" asked Louisa confused.

"As we all know, most doctors usually get married to fellow doctors. But Viona seems to have high criteria and she decided to marry a wealthy businessman like Mr. Fernando instead," Robert replied with a smile, he did not know that the person who recruited him to the Global Bross Hospital was the Fernando he was talking about. Hearing Robert's words made Louisa speechless.

"You're right, Viona is very lucky," replied Louisa unconsciously in an inaudible voice.

"I'm sorry Lou, what did you just say?" Robert asked, turning his head towards Louisa.

She just shook her head slowly, smiling in response to Robert's question. She then continued to explain some important people in the hospital to Robert. When she mentioned Frank's name, her heart ached a bit. It looked like Frank had not completely disappeared from her mind. Not long after, Louisa finally finished explaining to Robert, she then said goodbye to get back to her office because she was ten minutes away from her practice schedule.

After Louisa left, Robert then returned to read the book containing all information about the Global Bross Hospital staff, he was still interested in reading Viona's profile. He was impressed by Viona's bio which stated her experiences as a surgeon and her achievements so far.

"Looks like she isn't just a random regular doctor, this award is not given to just any doctor," Robert said to himself when reading the award given by Manchester University to Viona as the best young doctor in two thousand and fifteen.

Robert put the Global Bross Hospital employee list book in his desk drawer because his practice schedule was about to start. He kept the book in her desk drawer which was still empty because Cecilia's stuff had been cleaned up by Nurse Chloe before.

Because of Robert's good looks, the patients who were mostly middle-aged women and mothers gave him a quite warm welcome. It was very different from Cecilia on her first day at work a few weeks ago. Seeing this made Chloe smile faintly, although she had suspected that Robert would get the same rejection as Cecilia back then when she replaced Viona's position.

The patients seemed happy to welcome Robert who now replaced Cecilia. From a distance, William just smiled when he saw the patients looked calm while waiting their turn to be examined by Robert.

"Why didn't we find a male doctor to replace Viona since the beginning?" William said to himself, he then returned to his room to continue his work before leading a major operation which will start at eleven this afternoon with Frank who now became his assistant.

In a large mall in the city of Ontario, several luxury cars parked at the VIP parking area and the owner of the cars was Fernando. Since he didn't want to be disturbed while shopping, Fernando ordered his men to sterilize the area around the mall. He wanted to enjoy his time with Viona for the next few hours without being bothered by people asking him for photos like what had happened when they went out together.

"Why is this mall so quiet?" Viona asked suddenly and it surprised Fernando when both of them entered the mall on the first floor where not a single visitor could be seen.

"I guess, they don't really like this mall, Mommy," Fernando replied quietly as he continued to grope Viona's stomach where his child was now two months old in Viona's womb.

"I'm serious, Babe …."

"Oh no, didn't we already agree on our nicknames?" Fernando said while cutting Viona's words and the woman just quickly shook her head.

Viona's face immediately flushed at Fernando's words, since Fernando's hand was injured and he was resting at home, they agreed to call each other mommy and daddy. Moreover, today Viona just did her first ultrasound accompanied by Fernando. He was getting excited about being called daddy by Viona.

"Hey! Why are you daydreaming? What are you thinking now, Mommy?" Fernando asked anxiously as he pinched Viona's flushed cheeks.

"Awww, it hurts ...." Viona screamed in pain while holding her cheek that was pinched by Fernando.

"It's your fault for daydreaming, a pregnant woman isn't allowed to daydream, you know?" said Fernando briefly.

"Who told you something like that?" asked Viona curiously.

"Me, Fernando Gray Willan of course," he replied without feeling guilty.

"Akhhh you've been teasing me since we arrived, I don't like it," Viona fiercely sulked as she let go of Fernando's hand which was wrapped around her waist.

She then walked quickly into the mall leaving Fernando who was still laughing because he managed to tease Viona. Fernando then followed his wife into the mall. 

After returning from the doctor for ultrasound, Viona asked him to buy knick-knacks for their baby's room. Fernando was immediately excited when he heard his wife's request, he quickly booked a floor in a mall that was quite luxurious for two hours by paying a rent of 1 million Canadian dollars. As a rich businessman, that kind of money was not a problem for him, because he could make that kind of money in an hour considering the many businesses he currently managed.

For Fernando, the comfort and safety of Viona and their first child were everything, especially when he found out that Viona was pregnant with a baby boy. At first, Fernando did not believe that his child was a boy, so he asked Viona to do a re-examination by doing a DNA test to find out the sex of the baby. Fernando finally believed that his first child was a boy just like his expectations. To celebrate that, Fernando had prepared many surprises for Viona including today when he booked an entire floor in a special mall for Viona to go shopping.

He smiled when he saw Viona was enthusiastic while looking at the various supplies of a newborn baby, her eyes seemed to be sparkling seeing all the items. Fernando only watched his wife from behind without commenting because he wanted to give Viona the flexibility to shop. He could move all the contents of the shop to his house but he knew Viona would be angry with him if he did that. Therefore, Fernando gave Viona freedom to buy baby stuff according to her wishes like this.

"Mommy, our baby is male, how come the bed is pink?"

"Mom, boy doesn't play with dolls…He plays toy cars, robots, and weapons. He is not going to play with panda dolls like that."

"Mom ..."

"Yes, I know Daddy, I'm just looking at it, it doesn't mean I want to buy it," Viona said curtly, cutting off Fernando's words who had been commenting on whatever she touched.

Fernando chuckled behind when he saw Viona got annoyed by his words. Whatever Viona wanted for their baby wasn't a problem for Fernando, but he was happy to tease his wife who got irritated easily since she was pregnant. At first, Viona's changing mood startled him, especially when she liked to get carried away with emotions too easily. Over time, Fernando enjoyed it too because Viona's pregnancy was a very happy time for him. He wanted to make Viona happy, especially since his wife had complied with his will not to work again. In return, Fernando wanted to treat Viona like a queen. After walking around for almost an hour, they finally went to the cashier to pay for a special pillow for a pregnant woman without buying baby equipment that Viona had seen. Fernando could only follow what she wanted when Viona said she suddenly changed her mind.

"Are you sure this is all you want, Mommy?" asked Fernando for the umpteenth time.

"Yes…If you ask for one more time, I'll sew your mouth, Daddy," Viona replied curtly, she was annoyed because Fernando asked her the same question more than five times.

"How could you do that to me?" Fernando asked again with a pitiable expression.

Viona's laughter immediately exploded when she saw the expression on Fernando's annoying face, the staff at the shop could only smile at the intimacy of Fernando Gray Willan and his wife. They felt very fortunate to see and serve the number one person in town with his wife. Soon, the shop clerks took a photo together with Fernando and Viona when they had paid for the pillow she wanted.

"Why did you just buy this, Mom?" Fernando asked Viona quietly when he came out of the shop.

"You are so noisy…Please, don't ask anymore," Viona replied briefly.

"But ..."

"Awww…"

Fernando did not finish his words when he heard Viona scream in pain, his face immediately turned panicked.

"What happens? Which one gets hurt? Mommy?" Fernando said in a panic as he tried to hold Viona's body.

"I'm fine, don't overdo it, it's just aww…"

"What do you mean you are okay? You are still suffering in pain? I will go crazy if I have to see you like this, Mommy. Okay let's go to the hospital now, we have to check everything to make sure," Fernando said quickly, cutting off Viona's words with a serious face.

"We don't need to go to the hospital," Viona replied briefly.

"But just seconds ago you were in so much pain, Mom? I don't want to take the risk. So, let's go to Professor Erick," Fernando replied coldly.

"I'm hungry. Why do I have to go to Professor Erick's room?" Viona was confused when Fernando said he wanted to take her to go to Professor Erick's place that Fernando appointed to become Viona's private doctor during her pregnancy.

"What do you just say, Mom?"

"I'm hungry…We're just hungry Daddy!!" Viona screamed annoyingly.
