Chapter 297 - Possessive Again

Hearing Fernando's words made William speechless. He knew now why Fernando was this angry with Viona. Fernando was just too worried that bad things would happen to his son that he finally behaved like that to Viona. William then finished the food that was on his table without talking to Fernando again. He didn't want to make Fernando even more upset.

"So now what are you going to do?" asked William quietly to Fernando, when he had finished breakfast. 

"Since Viona has gone too far, I will forbid her to go anywhere from now on. She has wasted the kindness I gave her. Therefore, I will put her under house arrest from now on," Fernando replied quickly. 

"But you can't do that, Fernando, that's selfish. Viona is not an item that you can keep in the house. She is a human ..." 

"She is my wife, Will, I have the right to do that, not someone else," Fernando said with a raised tone cutting his words. 

Thump!

William immediately fell silent when he heard Fernando's words that sounded very loud. He was now even more convinced that Fernando was really angry with Viona. When William still didn't say anything, suddenly Fernando got up from his chair. He then put down some 50 dollar bills on the table. Without saying goodbye, he left the restaurant and immediately drove his luxury car to the office. 

"I hope your possessiveness will soon disappear, Fernando," said William quietly. 

He then grabbed the money left by Fernando and paid for the food that they had eaten in cash. After paying, William came out of the restaurant and stopped a taxi to return home to his apartment. Today was his day off so he didn't work at the hospital.

<Global Bross Hospital>

In his doctor's office, Robert was daydreaming after being absent from work for almost two days due to his illness. When he was conscious after fainting in front of Louisa's apartment, he felt confused when he was in a strange hospital, where at that time he was only accompanied by a few nurses from the hospital in the emergency room. When he confirmed again why he was in the hospital, a kind nurse then explained to him about what really happened. Robert was disappointed when he found out that he was taken to the hospital by several ambulance officers, not by Louisa. He felt a little disappointed with the beautiful doctor. 

"Here's some water, Doctor," said Nurse Chloe, breaking his reverie. 

"Thank you, Chloe," replied Robert sincerely. 

He then opened his desk drawer and reached for several bags of medicine that he had to take. Robert, who had a history of typhoid, fell unconscious when he was exhausted after working almost 2 shifts continuously for 2 days, where at that time there were very many patients. Because his body had not been able to adapt to climatic conditions in Canada, Robert finally got exhausted and his old illness finally returned and made him have to get medical care. 

After receiving an IV treatment at the hospital emergency room not far from his apartment, Robert finally decided to return to the apartment. He chose to rest at home to recover. After resting for two days, he finally went to work again. When he went to work, Robert was again disappointed when he heard the gossip that Louisa was getting married. There was a strange tingling feeling in him when he heard the news, a feeling he had not felt for a long time after the death of his son and wife several years ago. 

Knock 

Knpck

A knock on the door interrupted Robert's reverie, and the medicines he was holding even fell out of surprise. 

"Professor Dexter …" Robert stuttered when he saw the hospital director entered his office.

Chloe, who was standing next to Robert, immediately left the room as she didn't want to disturb them. Professor Dexter smiled when he saw Chloe left. He had indeed heard that the nurses in the surgical division were smart, and this time he had proven it himself. 

"Please, don't be so awkward, Doctor. I'm sorry if I interrupt your break time," said Professor Dexter with a smile. 

"No, Doctor, I just cough ... cough ..." Dexter could not finish his words. He then grabbed the glass of water that Chloe had just brought. He emptied the glass in just one sip. Professor Dexter smiled wryly at Robert's condition. 

"If you are still sick, it's better to rest at home, Doctor," said Professor Dexter quietly. He was concerned about the condition of the doctor he recruited. 

"I have already recovered, sir. It's only a little itch in the throat," replied Robert honestly.

"Our hospital is not a cruel hospital, which forces the doctors to keep working,. even if the doctor is sick. No, Doc, this hospital is a hospital that really values ​​the health of the staff. So if you are still sick, it's better to rest, don't force yourself," said Professor Dexter seriously.

"I'm fine, really. If you don't believe me, please check my condition," said Robert briefly.

"I believe in you, Doctor. I just want to make sure that the staff in this hospital get the same services without any differences between the new staff or existing staff. If you feel that you are not ready to work because you are still sick, then apply for a few days leave, I will be happy to give you some days off, Doc," replied Professor Dexter seriously. 

Hearing Professor Dexter's words made Robert smiled. He was happy because the director who recruited him to work at the Global Bross Hospital apparently was very concerned about the welfare of its employees. After talking for a while, Professor Dexter finally excused himself because he still had other work to take care of. Robert continued his work because the break was over. He chose to rest in the office without going to the cafeteria for lunch, because previously Chloe had brought some food for him before he took his medicines. 

"Your face is pale, Doc," said Chloe quietly when Robert was checking the last patient. 

"Understandably, Chloe, I am not one hundred percent healed yet," replied Robert briefly. 

"If you are not healed yet, you should not have come to work, Doc," said Chloe with a rising tone.

"I'm strong enough to ..."

"Since earlier you have been giving input to patients to maintain their health, but you yourself are careless like this," said Chloe in irritation, cutting off Robert's words.

This is the first time Chloe had dared to speak up to a doctor. Robert was silent when he heard Chloe's words, who was his assistant. He was speechless because what Chloe said was a fact. Since morning, he had always provided input to patients to maintain their health and regulate their diet, even though he himself underestimated all of that. 

"Excuse me, Doctor, my working hours are over," said Chloe quickly. 

Before receiving an approval from Robert, Chloe just left. Seeing his assistant left made Robert smile wryly. He then sat back in his chair because he felt tired. 

"In the end, all women will indeed leave me," said Robert quietly. 

He then closed his eyes for a moment to relieve the headache in his head. Chloe who had arrived at the locker room looked very annoyed. She did not know why she should be angry like that at her doctor. Even though she was only an assistant and not a member of Robert's family, for some reason she felt very upset when she saw that Robert, who had not yet recovered, forced himself to work. 

"You stupid man," said Chloe in irritation. 

After changing her uniform, Chloe then walked out of the locker room. But when she had just walked a few steps from the female staff changing room, she suddenly remembered that her cell phone was left in Doctor Robert's office. She finally had to turn her footsteps towards Doctor Robert's office. When she arrived there, Chloe was shocked when she heard Doctor Robert was vomiting in the toilet. She quickly entered the toilet and found Robert looked very tired sitting on the clean toilet. 

"Wait a minute, Doctor, I will call a doctor ..." 

"No, just take me home, I want to rest at home, please, Chloe," said Robert quietly, interrupting Chloe's words while holding her hand.

"Please ..." 

"OK, all right, can you walk?" asked Chloe, relented. 

"I can walk, but with my condition like this, I will not be able to drive a car," replied Robert honestly. 

"Let's just take a taxi then, I also can not drive a car, Doc," said Chloe briefly. 

Robert nodded his head slowly in response to what she said. He then walked out of the toilet and sat on the sofa, watching Chloe tidied up his things before going home. After finishing tidying up the doctor's belongings, Chloe then walked out while supporting Robert. For fear that someone would see what they were doing, Chloe finally chose to hold Robert's burly hand. After arriving at the west exit, Chloe then stopped a taxi. She then carried Robert into the taxi. 

"Where is the address of your apartment, Doctor?" asked Chloe quietly half whispered. 

"The address is on my cell phone," replied Robert briefly. 

Slowly, Chloe grabbed Robert's cell phone. She then read the address of the apartment and notified the taxi driver who drove them. Thirty minutes later, they finally arrived at Robert's comfortable apartment. Chloe initially had a hard time supporting Robert when she got into the elevator, but because she was helped by a security guard in the lobby, she was finally able to bring Robert to his apartment unit. 

"I'm very tired," said Chloe quietly, as she wiped the water that wet her lips as she drank. 

"Ok I have to go home, it's getting late. I'm afraid I can't go back to the apartment," thought Chloe anxiously as she looked at the watch attached to her left hand. 

She then said goodbye to Robert. She stood beside Robert's big bed and she slowly lowered her body and began to speak. But when she was just mentioning Robert's name, suddenly Robert's big hands pulled her hand so that she fell on the bed. 

"Doc ... please let me go," said Chloe in panic, she couldn't move because Robert hugged her so tightly. 

"No ... don't go, please don't go ..."
