Chapter 346 - The Introduction

The atmosphere at the Love Orphanage was suddenly crowded because of the arrival of Fernando and his bodyguards who were invited by Adam. Adam, who did not know that Fernando was Viona's husband, seemed very friendly to the man who was the owner of the hospital where he took the medicine yesterday for his stock at the clinic he led in the village of Elora. 

Adam invited Fernando to use his bathroom to take a shower using warm water and change clothes. Several bodyguards seemed to park the cars in the yard of the orphanage. They then took Fernando's change of clothes and for themselves who were always available in the car just in case there was an emergency like this. The friendly Mrs. Deborah invited the men to wait in the living room. Mrs. Agnes invited several foster children who were old enough to prepare warm drinks for the guests. Meanwhile, Viona, who had finished taking a shower, still locked herself in the room on the second floor. Her mood was very chaotic. 

"It turns out that seeing you again after a long time still hurt me, Fernando," Viona said to herself as she closed her eyes and leaned behind the door. She sat at the door with her face wet with tears as she cried profusely. 

Meanwhile, on the first floor, almost everyone had finished showering and changing clothes, including Fernando, who was now sitting with Adam in the living room. 

"It turns out that the orphanage where you live is very comfortable. Doctor," said Fernando quietly, while enjoying a glass of hot tea that had just been delivered by Mrs. Agnes and Viona's three foster siblings who were 15 years old. 

"It is very comfortable, sir. I don't intend to leave this orphanage at any time," Adam replied with a smile and embraced Mrs. Deborah with great love. 

"Even though you are married, will you also stay in this place, Doctor?" Fernando asked quietly as he looked around trying to find a photo of Viona that was installed in the living room. 

"Yes sir, I have planned that since a long time ago. I don't want to leave my mother and siblings in this place, because I have full responsibility to them," Adam replied confidently. 

"You are extraordinary, Doc," praised Fernando sincerely. 

"You are extraordinary, sir. Oh right, Mom, this is Mr. Fernando Gray Willan, a young businessman from the city. He is also the owner of the hospital where I took medicine yesterday, Mom. Global Bross Hospital gladly accepted my request to become a drug supplier at the clinic when the other hospitals refused," Adam said, introducing Fernando to Mrs. Deborah, who had been sitting beside Adam without speaking. Mrs. Deborah looked at Fernando with a meaningful look and a smile. 

"You are a wonderful person, Mr. Willan," said Mrs. Deborah, smiling. 

"It has become one of our hospital duties to help great doctors like Doctor Adam, who has dedicated his life to serving people in remote areas like this, Mrs. Deborah," said Fernando kindly. 

Mrs. Deborah smiled at Fernando's words, she then ordered the twins Jonas and Julia to call Viona down to join them. 

"Anji," said Fernando, unknowingly responding to Mrs. Deborah. 

"That is, sir, the girl you saw earlier at the party. She is one of the orphans who also lives here for quite a while and doesn't want to leave the orphanage even though she's already working," Adam said in response to Fernando. 

"Already working?" Justin asked unconsciously. He, who had been standing behind Fernando, was only a good listener between the master and the residents of the Love Orphanage. But when they were discussing Viona, he accidentally asked the question. 

"Yes, she works in a cake shop not far from the orphanage as an assistant chef to make cakes. Even though she is only an assistant chef, but her cakes are really delicious," Adam replied, trying to explain about Viona. 

Justin seemed to nod his head slowly at Adam's words. He then glanced at Harry who was standing beside him. Meanwhile, Fernando looked sad when he heard Adam said that Viona had been working in a cake shop as a chef's assistant. His heart hurt to hear the fact that his beloved wife had to work in such a place to continue earning money. 

Soon, a serious conversation occurred between Adam and Fernando. Fernando offered Adam to work at Global Bross Hospital as one of the doctors there. However, Adam quickly refused Fernando's offer, saying that he was the only doctor at the village. He didn't have the heart to leave the clinic to work in a bigger hospital. 

"Why did you refuse, Adam? This is one of the great opportunities to spread your wings in the medical world, son," said Mrs. Deborah quietly, patting Adam's shoulder. 

I have explained to you repeatedly, Mom. I will not leave you forever. I will continue to be by your side and look after you and my brothers and sisters. I can't possibly leave this place anyway. This village is quite calm and comfortable. I really like the village atmosphere, Mom," Adam replied softly with tears in his eyes as he looked at Mrs. Deborah lovingly. 

Fernando was silent to hear Doctor Adam's words. He felt dejavu when he heard the words of the doctor he just met. His wife, Viona, was also very worried about her sisters, even though they had done something bad to her, Fernando finally understood where Viona got her kind and gentle side like that. Apparently, it was their orphanage mother who taught about love to fellow siblings at the orphanage. 

Remembering that made Fernando smile. He felt really lucky to get to know Viona who was raised well in the orphanage. While talking about fun and exciting things about Elora Village, Fernando's attention suddenly got distracted when he saw Viona was walking down the stairs with the two young children, who had been ordered by Mrs. Deborah to call her. Fernando's heart beat quickly again as he saw Viona in front of his eyes. His eyes were filled with tears when he saw that the wife he had been looking for for the past 10 months was in front of him. 

"Come here, Anji dear, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Fernando, he is the owner of the hospital where your brother took the medicines for stock at his clinic yesterday," said Mrs. Deborah softly as she pulled Viona's hand closer to her, where Fernando stood beside Mrs. Deborah, staring unblinkingly at Viona.

" Fernando ..." Fernando said hoarsely, stretching out his hand towards Viona. His hands were trembling as they reached out towards Viona.
