Chapter 293 - The Bonds Of Sisters

Fernando seemed confused looking for Viona here and there. He could barely breathe calmly from noon after knowing that Viona did not come home with his driver. Justin and Harry who were tasked with tapping all the CCTVs across Ottawa had no success. 

"Where are you, Babe ...? Come home, Babe ..." 

"Don't torture me like this, Babe ..." 

"Please, Babe, come back to me, pity our baby." 

"My love, please ... go home ..." Fernando repeatedly sent undelivered messages to Viona, hundreds of times already. 

He called Viona but he did not even get an answer. 

"Justin, why haven't you got any results?" Fernando asked Justin who was busy with his laptop. 

"Sorry, Sir, none of my men has found the presence of Madame," Justin stammered. 

"Oh God ... where are you?" Fernando said softly, while scratching his hair that wasn't itchy. 

He knew that Viona left when he found a report from James who could not find her. Since then, Fernando immediately searched the entire hospital and finally he knew that his wife had left the hospital by bus. 

"It's almost ten o'clock at night, Babe .... come home, don't torture me like this," Fernando said to himself, staring at the big screen in his office, where at this time he was asking the best IT staff to hack all the CCTVs in the city to find Viona's whereabouts. 

When he was almost frustrated, his cell phone suddenly rang and grabbed his cell phone angrily on the table. 

"Talk to me, Teddy," said Fernando quietly when he was connected to the butler. 

"Madame had arrived home in a taxi, Sir," said Teddy with a shout.

"What?! Don't joke, Teddy!!!" Fernando shouted in a rising voice. 

"I dare not lie, Sir, for God's sake." said Teddy stuttered. 

"Okay, I'm going home. Please make sure that she's not going anywhere," said Fernando with a rising tone before hanging up. 

"Is something going on, Sir?" Justin asked softly. 

"My wife has returned home, Justin, Viona returned home. Come with me, and Harry, please take care of them," said Fernando, running to the elevator followed by Justin. 

Harry nodded slowly in response to the words of his master, he then dismissed the newly created Viona search team three hours ago. Everyone in the room was relieved to find that the mistress they were looking for had returned home. After tidying up their belongings, they were finally able to return to their respective homes after getting paid from Harry. 

Along the way back to the house, Fernando looked uneasy. He repeatedly looked at the expensive watch in his left hand and asked Justin to speed the car. But Justin said that the car he was carrying had exceeded the normal speed limit allowed on the highway. Justin didn't want to get into trouble with the police because if that happened their time to get home would be even longer. 

After driving for nearly thirty minutes, the car finally arrived home. Fernando immediately jumped out of the car when the new car was about to stop. He couldn't wait to meet Viona. Even though he had received a report from Teddy that Viona had returned home a while ago, but he was still not calm until he had seen his wife with his own eyes. 

"My wife ..." 

"Madame is on the second floor, Sir," Teddy replied quickly, interrupting Fernando's words.

"Thanks," said Fernando quickly. 

He then continued his footsteps up the stairs. In order to quickly get to the second floor, he immediately passed three steps. After arriving on the second floor, Fernando immediately ran to his room. He really could not hold back his longing to meet Viona. Breathless, Fernando stood in front of the door of his room. He began to enter a combination of numbers to open the door to his room. 

After successfully opening the door to his room, Fernando then walked in. His sharp eyes immediately looked for Viona's figure that he had not found anywhere until finally he realized the door to his wardrobe was slightly ajar. He slowly entered the closet. and his heart was splashed with ice when he saw Viona was sitting on the carpet while leaning against the wall while still wearing his bathrobe. 

Fernando crouched down next to her. He then stretched out his hand to touch her, but he canceled his intention when he realized that she was asleep. He carefully carried Viona to their large bed and lowered her slowly so as not to wake her up. 

"Where have you been, Babe? Why didn't you tell me," Fernando said softly as he touched her cheek slowly. 

His smile broke when he saw the bathrobe she was wearing was slightly opened, so that it shown her belly. He slowly lowered his face and landed a kiss on Viona's stomach with great affection. Because he was afraid that Viona would get sick wearing only a bathrobe, he finally found a nightgown for his wife. He chose a long nightgown that was very easy to wear. 

Fernando carefully removed the bathrobe that was still attached on Viona's body and replaced it with the night gown he had just taken from the closet. After making sure that she was sleeping comfortably, he then walked into the bathroom. He wanted to clean himself before going to sleep, because his entire body was already sticky with sweat after running around looking for his wife for nearly six hours. 

After standing under the cold shower for almost ten minutes, Fernando finally finished his shower. He then grabbed a clean bathrobe on the shelf in the bathroom. With wet feet, hecame out of the bathroom and walked to the wardrobe to find a pajama. 

Soon he came out of the wardrobe wearing a pajama with the same color as Viona's. He then laid down beside Viona, who was already asleep. The feeling of restlessness and anxiety in his chest immediately disappeared when he looked at his wife was beside him. 

When he was about to close his eyes, Fernando suddenly remembered Viona's cell phone. He wanted to make sure whether his wife's cell phone was deliberately turned off or was it running out of battery. 

"Apparently she ran out of battery," said Fernando quietly with a smile when he realized that his wife's cell phone had run out of power with evidence that he could not activate the expensive cell phone several times. 

After confirming his anxiety, Fernando then climbed back into bed and hugged Viona from behind lovingly. Slowly but surely, his eyes immediately closed, he began to wade through the ocean of dreams following Viona, who had been sleeping for a long time. 

Meanwhile, in Amina and Jenny's apartment, the two girls could not close their eyes because they were still thinking about Viona in the muffin shop. Nor could they tell Fernando the whereabouts of their sister, because they had already made their promises previously. 

"How is this, Amina, I can't sleep yet," said Jenny quietly as she covered her face with a pillow. 

"Me too, Jenny, I was really uneasy when I found out that my sister was in the shop right now," replied Amina briefly. 

Jenny turned on the existing sleep light between their beds. Amina and Jenny slept in one room, but they sleep in separate beds. Slowly, Jenny sat on her bed, hugging her favorite hello kitty pillow, staring at Amina, who was still lying on her bed. 

"Do we need to contact Fernando?" Jenny asked softly. 

"No, Jenny, you know how Viona is like. I'm sure she will kill us when she finds out that we call Fernando," Amina replied quickly as she sat on the bed staring at Jenny. 

"Then what if something happens to her. Amina, I'm afraid of being blamed by Fernando," said Jenny with a sob.

"I know what you mean, Jenny, but I'm afraid that if I break my promise to Vio, then she will be against us, Jenny," Amina said shakily. 

Jenny swallowed her saliva upon hearing Amina's words. She knew very well that Viona was a person who really hated when she was being lied to, especially if they had promised her. Therefore, they could only surrender and try to sleep with the hope that morning would come soon, so they could go to the shop to check on Viona's condition. 

"Hope you are fine, Vio, our fate is in your hands," Jenny said to herself. 

She was very afraid to live on the streets again if Fernando kicked them out of the apartment. In her bed, Amina repeatedly prayed, asking God to look after Viona tonight. She looked very solemn when she prayed. Even though she and Viona had different beliefs, she still prayed for her adopted sister who she had considered as her real sister.
