Chapter 354 - Fernando’s Oath

Fernando then continued his work after Mrs. Deborah advised him to give Viona a little time alone. Usually Viona would be fine after she calmed down at the lake. Justin and Harry, who tidied things up in the front room, silently saw that the master got rejected by the mistress. They knew very well that the mistress must have not forgiven the master after all that happened.

"If she can be like this to the Master, imagine what she would do to me," said Justin, quietly.

"What do you mean?" asked Harry in a half whisper.

"That night I was the one who gave the divorce papers to Madam, I'm afraid she must be angry with me too," Justin replied in a barely audible voice.

Harry swallowed his saliva at Justin's words. He then tapped Justin on the shoulder slowly with a flat smile to give support to his friend. Justin could only nod his head slowly without speaking and went back to do his job like what Fernando did with Adam.

After they worked for almost an hour, finally all of their work was done. Almost all the essential items had already entered the orphanage. The mattresses, the sofas, the latest flat screen televisions, various wardrobes and a large dining table with lots of chairs were finally neatly arranged in the orphanage. With items like that, the Love Orphanage looked like a new orphanage. The children who waited in front were finally allowed to enter their respective rooms.

The laughter of the children was heard throughout the orphanage. They thanked Fernando because he replaced their old mattresses with new ones. Mrs. Deborah wiped her tears slowly, as she looked at the scene before her, where the children laughed carefreely with each other. For as long as she had the orphanage, she had never bought new things for the children because the budget was limited. But this time through Fernando, she saw the foster children felt things like that, Mrs. Agnes hugged Mrs. Deborah tightly.

"Oh right, is the food for Mr. Fernando ready?" Asked Mrs. Deborah quietly towards Mrs. Agnes.

"Oh my God, I forgot, I should have ordered food for them earlier. Wait a minute I'll ask Anji to go to the shop where she works to prepare food for Mr. Fernando and…"

"No, Ma'am, our food will come in five minutes," Justin said, as he interrupted Mrs. Agnes with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Asked Mrs. Agnes in confusion at Justin. 

"Before coming here, Mr. Fernando already..."

Justin could not finish his words when he saw a food truck enter the yard after the four large trucks were moved. He immediately approached the food truck quickly with Harry. The two of them immediately prepared food and drink for the master first, so that the master could enjoy it first. Mrs. Agnes closed her mouth in disbelief when she saw a food truck in the yard of the orphanage. She knew how expensive it was to call a food truck like that.

Soon, the food truck was full because the children from the orphanage were overjoyed. They seemed very happy to be able to immediately ask for food in a food truck like today. Adam seemed overwhelmed  asking the children to behave. Fortunately Justin and Harry had separated the food and drink for Fernando.

"Forgive my children, Mr. Willan, you know that country children have never seen a food truck like that," said Mrs. Deborah. She felt guilty to Fernando.

"Ah, Mom, don't talk like that, I really ordered a food truck so that the kids can enjoy it too, apart from the workers, who helped me tidy up these things," Fernando replied quickly.

"I don't know what to do with all of your kindness, Sir. I really can't repay you for what you have done," said Mrs. Deborah softly.

"Don't talk like that, Mom, I sincerely want to help so you don't have to feel embarrassed. Seeing the smiles of those children makes me feel happy. At least, my longing for children is paid off right now," Fernando said softly.

"Do you have any children, Sir? I mean are you married?" asked Adam, spontaneously speaking.

Fernando smiled at Adam's words and put his coffee cup on the table slowly.

"I've been married to a woman who I love so much since 8 years ago at our first meeting, Doctor. After two months of marriage, my wife was pregnant with our first child but…"

"However?" Mrs. Agnes asked curiously, because Fernando stopped talking.

"At the age of four months, the child in my wife's womb died because of an evil person who poisoned her and made the baby fell out of her mother's womb, and now I am separated from my wife because of a misunderstanding that occurred as a result of that incident. I'm currently trying to convince my wife to forgive me and want her to come back to me again," Fernando replied softly, in a hoarse voice, his eyes glistened as he spoke.

After she heard Fernando's words, Mrs. Agnes was very shocked, as well as Adam who almost choked when Fernando said that. Mrs. Deborah looked rather calm, because she already knew what happened and who Fernando was talking about.

Adam immediately hugged Fernando to support the rich man, without knowing that the man he was hugging was actually a man who he had wanted to meet for a long time. He wanted to meet that man. Adam held a grudge against the man who made Viona suffer. He even swore he wanted to avenge his actions for dumping Viona. Fernando returned Adam's hug with a smile.

"You will definitely find your wife again, Sir, I am sure God will help you and make your wife wants to come back to you," Adam said quietly.

"Thank you for your prayer, Doctor, I really appreciate it," said Fernando honestly.

"That's right, Sir, good people like you will definitely be helped by God. Trust me, God will not test His child beyond the ability of the child himself," added Mrs. Agnes with a smile.

"Amen, I hope God will forgive me for all my mistakes in the past, Mom," said Fernando, softly.

Mrs. Deborah tapped Fernando on the shoulder slowly, with a smile. She then pulled the face of Fernando who was bowing towards her, with her wrinkled fingers.

"Be patient, my child, achieving love is easy but maintaining love is definitely difficult and requires a lot of effort. Believe me, one day your love will come back to you, love knows, it will return home even though it is currently lost," said Mrs. Deborah, softly, with a smile.

Fernando grabbed Mrs. Deborah hand and kissed it slowly while closing his eyes, drops of water came out of Fernando 's eyes, and hit Mrs. Deborah hand, which Fernando kissed.

"Be patient, Sir, you are a good person. I believe your wife will forgive you," Adam said quietly, as he patted Fernando on the back from behind.

Fernando raised his head from Mrs. Deborah hand, he then smiled at Adam and Mrs. Agnes. Because the children had all gotten food and drinks, Adam then went down to the food truck and got some food.

"I will fight to get you again, Dear, and find out who was the person who made us like this, I swear, I will make the person who killed our child and rot in hell," Fernando said to himself, as he stared at the lake where Viona was invited by Mrs. Deborah to eat."
