Chapter 345 - Apologize

Under the heavy raindrops, two people could be seen staring at each other. Even though there was some distance between them, they could still see the figure in front of them clearly. Justin and Harry, who were still in the car, couldn't believe they would see this incident. They seemed to cover their mouths with their hands as did Lucas the personal driver of Fernando. They also froze like Fernando, who was standing outside, staring at Viona, their mistress, who was only five meters away from where Fernando was standing. Twenty bodyguards immediately acted quickly. They got out of the car and made a circular fort to protect Viona and Fernando, who were staring at each other without speaking.

Viona, who couldn't go anywhere, could only keep quiet looking at the figure of the person she had avoided for ten months now in front of her, standing and staring at her without blinking, even though the rain continued to pour down their faces. Fernando, who had seen Viona from a distance, had asked Lucas to accelerate his car towards Viona. At first, Fernando just wanted to take pictures of Elora Village using his digital camera. He then pointed his camera at an ongoing wedding party. His attention was immediately stolen towards a woman who was sitting alone under a maple tree. It was not clear what made him interested in the figure of the woman, therefore, he enlarged the quality of the lens and was immediately surprised when he saw the face of the woman he was recording on his camera screen. 

At first, Fernando couldn't believe what he saw, because all this time he had hallucinations seeing Viona's face in another woman's face. But this time Fernando was sure he wasn't hallucinating. He had memorized Viona's smile by heart. Although the image quality shown by his camera was a little broken due to the far distance he was shooting, Fernando was sure that the woman he recorded was the beloved wife he had been looking for for nearly ten months. So from that, he ordered Lucas to go to the wedding party. He wanted to confirm for himself what he saw and it turned out that what he saw was a reality. The woman he accidentally shot turned out to be really Viona, Fernando could barely control himself when he saw Viona return. The longing that was about to explode made him almost jump at Viona, but when he saw Viona took a few steps back when she saw his presence, Fernando canceled his intention. 

"My love ..." 

"No! Don't come near!" screamed Viona, cutting Fernando's words loudly when see Fernando was going to approach her. 

"Vio, please ..." 

"I said don't come near me, Fernando!" Viona shouted again, holding back Fernando who was trying to get closer to her, the tears that dripped from her eyes were obscured by the heavy rain. 

The image of what Fernando had said to him when she was bleeding returned to his mind. Fernando, who did not expect to meet her, was speechless. He, who initially wanted to immediately hug Viona, could only stand motionless because Viona had refused him. His heart that had bloomed immediately broke again when he heard Viona forbid him to come near her. 

"Honey ... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, dear," said Fernando stammered, his expensive clothes were soaked by now. His neatly combed hair was no longer in shape. 

"Vio ..." 

"No! Don't call my name, I don't want to hear you say my name. You are evil ... I hate you!" Viona shouted hysterically. It had been a long time since she wanted to speak out those words to Fernando.

Fernando was again petrified to hear Viona's words. He did not expect to get a very strong rejection from the woman he was looking for during those ten months. The pain of losing Viona suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a new pain that was very strange, and much more painful. 

Justin, Harry and Lucas, who were still in the car, could only watch their master and mistress who was wanted for ten months, in silence.  When the atmosphere was urgent, suddenly Adam came running with an umbrella towards Fernando and Viona who were surrounded by twenty men dressed all in black. 

"You've arrived, sir?" Adam asked in a loud voice as he walked towards Fernando. He had not yet realized the existence of Viona who was standing not far from Fernando.

"Adam ..." said Viona. 

She was in disbelief when she saw Adam approached Fernando with an umbrella. Adam, who managed to get past the bodyguards surrounding Fernando, immediately approached Fernando with a broad smile. He was very happy that Fernando arrived at Elora much faster than he had expected. As soon as he reached Fernando's side, he immediately put an umbrella on Fernando and let his body get soaked. 

"Do you have another umbrella, Doctor?" Fernando asked softly without taking his eyes off Viona who was standing in front of him. 

"There, but the umbrella is in ..." Adam could not finish his words. When he was about to point to the venue of Mr. Rudolf's party, he saw Viona standing in front of him with a body that was already soaked.

"Anji! Why are you standing in the rain like that? "Adam asked loudly. He did not realize that Fernando was talking to Viona. Even though they were currently in a circle made by Fernando's men.

" Anji ..."

"Yes sir, that's my sister in the orphanage. Anji ... Ah, her real name is Viona, but we used to call her Anji, as her nickname since she was a child," Adam said in response to Fernando's words. 

Thump!

Fernando immediately fell silent when he heard Adam's words. He then turned back to Viona, who was still standing silently. The rainwater completely disguised Viona's tears, so that Adam did not realize that she was crying. When Adam was about to approach Viona, suddenly a big hand tapped his shoulder, Justin apparently got out of the car with Harry. He had heard all of Adam's words before. 

"Because the rain was so heavy, how about we go back to your orphanage, Doctor Adam ..."

"No! You can't go to our home!" Viona said, cutting Justin's words quickly, she knew what Justin's goal was what's the truth. 

"Why can't he, Anji? After all, as long as you know, Anji, Mr. Fernando is the owner of the hospital whose medicine I brought back yesterday to the clinic. If Mr. Fernando is not there, I will find it difficult to find supplies of medicine, Anji," Adam said flatly trying to explain about Fernando to Viona.

"So as a thank you, it is better if you come to our home, sir, and change your clothes there, but our home is very simple, I hope you don't mind, sir," Adam said to Fernando. He did not feel the coldness of Viona and her unfriendly attitude.

"It is an honor to visit your home, Mr. Adam," Fernando replied briefly with a smile, his eyes had never left Viona at all. 

His smile grew when he realized that there was a good opportunity in front of his eyes that he could take advantage of. Hearing Fernando's words annoyed Viona. She then turned and ran towards the orphanage but when she passed Fernando's bodyguards, suddenly her hands were held by two big men. 

"Let go of me!" said Viona irritated. 

"What is going on? Why did you ..."

"Let her go!" said Fernando, quickly interrupting Adam's words. 

As soon as they heard the words of the master, the two large men who had been holding Viona immediately released their grip on Viona's hands and let Viona run away from Fernando. 

"Come on, Doctor, lead us to your home," Justin said, breaking the atmosphere. 

" Oh yeah, I almost forgot ... come on, sir, come with me, we can walk. The distance is not far from this place," Adam said excitedly.

"Thank you, Doctor Adam, I owe you," Fernando replied briefly with a meaningful smile staring at him. He could still see the direction where Viona had gone to. She was still running in the same direction as himself, towards the Love Orphanage.
