Chapter 344 - After Ten Months

Thursday morning in Elora Village, it looked different from the previous days, because there was a celebration. It was a wedding party for one of the children of an important person in Elora. Because of that, there were not many activities of the villagers. They closed their shops because they wanted to join the party together. 

Even Adam's clinic was closed, because he was forced to join the party together. As an important person in Elora, Adam's popularity was very much taken into account. As a result, he always participated in every event related to local residents' parties. 

"Whose party is this, Adam?" Viona whispered to Adam, slowly. 

"The party of the old village chief's son, Anji," Adam replied with a smile. 

"I see, no wonder it's very crowded," Viona said, briefly, while she admired the beauty of the wedding decorations. 

"Yeah, well, they're rich, so that's how it is," Adam said in a half whisper in response to Viona's words. 

Viona smiled at Adam's words. Actually, the wedding they attended today was far from luxurious. Even her wedding party used to be a hundred times more luxurious than the party she attended today, but because this party was in the village, it looked very luxurious. Those who got married today were candidates for mayor, who would run in the election, so it was no wonder that all of the Elora residents were asked to attend the wedding. Of course, it was absolutely not free, the reason was that some of the groom's assistants gave brochures that contained writings, so that residents would elect him to be the mayor of the village, the representative of Elora. Because of this, Viona felt a little uncomfortable to be at the wedding party of the son of the former village head. She felt like she was being bribed subtly through food to vote for him in the election. This, then why was this person… 

Thump!

Viona couldn't finish what she said when she realized her mistake. She thought about Fernando again without realizing it. These days she had always remembered Fernando for some reason, which made her even more uncomfortable. 

"Why should I remember you again Fernando?" Viona said, softly, while she held her chest that was beating fast. 

Adam, who tried to get some fruits, seemed to squint with one eye when he saw Viona. He felt that something was wrong with Viona. Therefore, he canceled his intention to take the fruit, he wanted to immediately go to Viona's place, who was sat under a shady maple tree. 

"What's wrong with you, Anji?" Adam asked, quickly, when he arrived next to Viona. 

"I'm... I'm fine, Adam," Viona stuttered. 

"Are you sure you're okay? But your face looks very red, Anji. Are you having a fever?" Adam asked again, he tried to touch Viona's forehead, but Viona quickly fended off Adam's hand.

"I'm fine... I'm really fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable in this crowd of people," Viona lied. 

As he heard Viona's words, Adam smiled. He forgot that Viona had never been to a wedding like this before during her stay with him for the past ten months. Adam understood that, for example, Viona felt a little awkward. Adam then tried to grab Viona's hand who was holding a glass filled with cocktail, but suddenly the cell phone in his shirt pocket vibrated very hard, and he stopped his intention to grab Viona's hand. 

"Let me answer this call first, okay? It looks like there is a call from the center," Adam said, quietly, and said goodbye to Viona while he showed his cell phone which was ringing.

"Hmm," Viona replied, briefly. 

After he spoke, Adam then walked to a quieter place to pick up his cellphone which was ringing and screamed for him to pick up, after he felt that he was in a more comfortable place, Adam finally picked up the phone and talked for a long time. Viona, who was sat under a maple tree and 10 meters away from Adam, clearly saw Adam smiling while he talked on the phone. 

"I've even forgotten the feeling of being contacted by someone," said Viona, who didn't realize what she just had said, with a thin smile and looked at Adam, who looked very happy while he talked on his phone. 

Adam was then seen running towards Viona while he held his cell phone. He then sat right in front of Viona with a big smile. 

"What's wrong, Adam?" Viona asked, curiously, when she saw Adam's expression that had changed, which was very significant, like he had just won a lottery. 

"I have very pleasant news, Anji," Adam replied, shortly. "What news?" asked Viona again. 

"It's about..." Adam could not finish his words when he felt someone touch his shoulder from behind. 

When he turned around, it turned out that the one who touched him was a family representative from the groom's party, who was having a party. He claimed to have been ordered by the bridegroom's parents men to invite Adam to the podium to give a few words of speech as a youth representative in the village of Elora. 

"Why me?" asked Adam, confused. 

"You are the only doctor in this village, doc, so Mr. Rudolf wants to ask you to give a speech at their son's wedding, young master Robby and Miss Jesslyn," answered one of Mr. Rudolf's men, the owner of the event.

"Come on, let's go," whispered Viona, encouraging Adam.

"Okay then, let's go to the podium," said Adam, as he slowly got up from his chair, he then walked away from Viona, to the podium, with great authority. 

Viona smiled at Adam, she knew that Adam was a very respected person in the village of Elora. Therefore, it was not surprising if he was asked to give a speech at an important event like this, as a family member of Adam, she felt proud when she saw him respected by many people, because it provided its own advantages for the orphanage. When Adam spoke on the podium, many people paid attention to him. They seemed very fascinated when they saw a handsome young doctor like Adam. Adam's personal assistant, Steffi, shouted the loudest when she saw her doctor give a speech in front.

As she saw what Steffi was doing, it made Viona smile. She recalled her past when she worked at the Global Bross Hospital, where Tina would always be excited about what she was doing. Having a personal assistant was a very pleasant thing for a doctor, because a doctor can share problems and ideas with their assistant. For Viona, Tina was not just an assistant, she also considered her to be her best friend, and understands her. Because Tina was the first to welcome her well when she came to Canada. 

"How are you now, Tina? I really miss seeing you," Viona said, silently, as she looked at Steffi, who was still excited to applaud Adam. 

The sunny sky suddenly turned cloudy, and it rained very heavily in a short time, the guests who were present at the invitation party immediately ran to a tent that had been provided previously. Even though the wedding party had the theme of a garden party, the wedding organizer of the wedding party had also prepared a special tent and room so guests can take shelter and continue the party indoors. 

Because Viona felt uncomfortable wearing a simple party dress that had been wet with rain, Viona finally decided to go home. She then returned the glass she was holding to the table not far from where she was currently standing, but when she was about to return, from a distance she saw a group of black cars approaching where she was. Her heart felt like it dropped when she saw the person who had just got out of the car, even though the rain was very heavy and her vision was not very clear, she still recognized the person who was standing five meters away from her. 

"No! Impossible…"
