Chapter 339 - Fernando’s Claims

GLOBAL BROSS HOSPITAL

News of Fernando's return to Canada had a huge impact at the hospital, especially among the old staff who knew Fernando very well. Especially Frank, who was back in charge of the surgery department, he felt that Fernando's return was a big threat to him. His search for Viona had not been fruitful at all during these ten months. None of his men had managed to find Viona.

His attitude also looked very different to his wife Louisa. They had not made love for the last two months. Even though Louisa had removed the IUD that was attached in her womb for almost three months, Frank never touched Louisa again.

"Why did you have to come home again?" said Frank emotionally in front of his laptop while reading the invitation to the briefing with Fernando. The hospital management wanted to introduce the new doctors at the hospital to Fernando.

Knock

"Come in," said Frank, loudly, in response to the knock on the door of his private room.

Soon Britney entered, looking down, announcing that the briefing was about to begin. Dexter asked Britney to call Frank because Fernando was almost at the hospital.

"Okay, I know, now go," said Frank quickly as soon as Britney announced his purpose to come.

"Then excuse me, Sir," said Britney, respectfully.

Not long after, the door to Frank's room closed again after Britney left. Suddenly Frank threw the glass that was on his desk harshly against the wall, filled of emotion.

"Damn you, Fernando!" Frank screamed with hatred. His eyes showed a look of great hatred towards Fernando, who was none other than his own brother. After knowing that Viona left ten months ago, he already considered Fernando to be his enemy again. The competition to find Viona started again at that time. But now, when he hadn't managed to find Viona, that he was looking for for ten months, Fernando returned home, this really annoyed him.

After he regained control of himself, Frank finally tidied up his white coat that he was so proud of. He then walked slowly toward the door, leaving the office messy after he threw the glass at the wall. When Frank walked into the meeting room, the young doctors immediately saluted him, even though they knew that Frank was married, but they still couldn't take their eyes off of the handsome professor, even though they also knew that Frank's wife also worked at the same hospital as them.

When Frank arrived in the meeting room, almost all of the senior doctors had occupied their respective seats and left one chair belonging to Frank. Without guilt Frank walked calmly to his chair in the front row. Louisa only smiled when she saw her husband came last. Cecilia, who was sitting next to her, also gave Louisa a thumbs up. She praised the courage of Frank, who was known as a professor who liked to go against hospital rules, no one dared to reprimand him, because they knew that Frank was the younger brother of the hospital owner.

"Okay, without waiting long, we welcome Mr. Fernando Gray Willan to our midst," said Dexter using the loudspeaker aloud.

Clap

The sound of applause accompanied Fernando's steps into the meeting room. He was wearing a three-layered suit that fit his body perfectly. He arranged his hair in such a way that made his appearance look even more perfect. Besides his handsome face, his physical perfection made him look like a living mannequin doll. He walked steadily with two of his personal assistants who were no less neat, but expressionless, behind him. They escorted Fernando to the podium where Dexter was seen waiting for Fernando with open arms.

Fernando hugged Dexter tightly to politely show their intimacy in front of the staff, as if this was their first meeting, even though they had met yesterday, in Dexter's office in particular.

Dexter handed the microphone to Fernando, and walked slowly with Justin and Harry aside to give Fernando a chance to speak.

"Hmm, before, thank you all for your hard work so far, I heard a lot of achievements that this hospital has achieved while I was in France," Fernando said, opening his speech.

"I am sure that without your hard work this hospital will not be able to progress this way, I want to pay the highest respect to all of you medical and non-medical staff in this hospital so far," added Fernando, while nodding his head in a gesture of respect to all the people in front of him.

Seeing the attitude taken by Fernando made everyone in the room get up from their chairs, clapping their hands and shouting Fernando's name. They felt very flattered by what Fernando said, which they didn't expect at all.

Soon the sound of applause stopped when Fernando stood upright again with a smile on his face.

"You are all amazing, and, oh, yes, I also want to introduce myself to the doctors, nurses and staff, who just joined this hospital. My name is Fernando Gray Willan, I am the highest shareholder in the hospital at the moment. I am also the brother of Professor Frank who was sitting in front of me, but you don't need to be shy to me. If Professor Frank makes a mistake you don't hesitate to reprimand him because I won't defend him if he makes a mistake," Fernando said, jokingly, staring at his younger brother, who had been staring at him without blinking.

Hearing Fernando's words made everyone in the room laugh, but not with the four people who understood the cold war between the two, William seemed to swallow his saliva when he saw the glint in Frank's eyes which he knew so well, as well as Dexter.

After talking about many things, Fernando finally gave the microphone back to Dexter. He then got off the podium and greeted the hospital officials one by one, including his younger brother, who now had a high position in the hospital.

"Welcome back, Fernando," Frank said quietly as he greeted Fernando, who was leaving, because he had just received a call from his office.

"Thank you, brother, we can finally see each other again this time," Fernando replied, softly, smiling at Frank with a meaningful look. He knew that his younger brother had been looking for his Viona. 

Frank was silent when he heard Fernando's words. He then quickly let go of his brother's hand and turned towards the exit, and followed everyone who had started leaving the meeting room, but suddenly stopped when he felt a hand holding him.

"From the beginning, Viona was mine, Frank. Keep dreaming, because in the near future I will find my wife again, Frank. Give it up…" Fernando whispered softly into Frank's ear.

"You …"
