After Fernando went home, Viona then prepared her papers to start working. She was seen reading the documents that Doctor Cecilia had filled in for the past three days.

A smile appeared on her beautiful face when she saw Cecilia's neat writing. She was quite satisfied with Cecilia's work, even though there were still some shortcomings, but she understood it because no one could immediately do a job perfectly.

Knock

Knock

"May I enter, Doctor?" Asked Nurse Chloe, after knocking on the open door of Viona's office.

"Come in, Chloe. Why do you have to ask permission from me?" Viona answered with a smile at her assistant, who was standing at the door, carrying a file in her arms.

"Hehe, I'd better get your permission than to bother you," said Nurse Chloe defensively.

Viona only smiled at the words of her assistant. She then received the file that was brought by Nurse Chloe. She then read the file that contained data of patients, who had come for the last three days, including some of the prescriptions written by Doctor Cecilia for the patients.

Viona wanted to make sure that her patients get the right care from Doctor Cecilia, because she felt responsible for the treatment of these patients since they were her full responsibility.

"Is there a problem, Doctor?" Asked Nurse Chloe softly, when she saw that Viona's expression did not change.

"There isn't, Chloe. I just admire Doctor Cecilia, who can write this neat," Viona answered with a smile.

"Yes, but your handwriting is still much tidier than Doctor Cecilia's writing hehehe," said Nurse Chloe with a big laugh.

"Aw you, Chloe. Oh, right, for the past three days, were there any difficulties when you worked with Doctor Cecilia?" Viona asked quietly, as she put the stethoscope around her neck.

Instead of answering her question, Nurse Chloe was silent and lowered her head slowly which finally made Viona suspect that something had happened in the hospital during her absence for three days yesterday.

"Tell me, what happened to you while I'm not here," said Viona in an increasing tone. "Just tell me honestly, I won't be angry. If you keep quiet like this, I will be angry with you, Chloe," Viona added to her previous words because Nurse Chloe still didn't want to talk.

"So it was like this, Doctor …" Nurse Chloe then told her in detail what had happened since the first day Doctor Cecilia replaced Viona, where she saw clearly how Cecilia was cursed at by the patients.

Not to mention that at the cafeteria, there were many young doctors who sarcastically insinuating Doctor Cecilia, saying that she had taken the opportunity under the situation by using some cunning methods to approach Viona, so that she could replace Viona.

While Nurse Chloe told the incidents during the last three days, Viona looked very shocked. She did not think that many bad incidents that happened to Doctor Cecilia because of her.

She really did not expect that her patients would behave like that to Doctor Cecilia.

"Then how about Doctor Cecilia now, Chloe?" Viona asked haltingly when Nurse Chloe finished her story.

"Today Doctor Cecilia is off, Doctor," Nurse Chloe replied, remembering what Doctor Cecilia said.

"Oh, I feel so bad, Nurse, I feel very sorry to Doctor Cecilia for making her have to go through all this," said Viona regretfully.

"But this is not your fault, Doctor …"

"Give me Doctor Cecilia's cell phone number, I have to talk to her directly now," said Viona, cutting Nurse Chloe's words.

Nurse Chloe then took out her cell phone, she then looked up the name of Doctor Cecilia in her phone contact. Shortly thereafter, she handed her cell phone to Viona which she immediately copied. Soon, she picked up her phone to her ear, trying to contact Doctor Cecilia to talk to her directly.

"Where is Doctor Cecilia, why doesn't she answer my call?" Viona quietly called Cecilia again for the fourth time.

"Maybe Doctor Cecilia was going to the supermarket, Doctor, because she had told me that at this time she was living with her boyfriend. And they often go together when they are on days off like today," Nurse Chloe chirped in response to Viona's statement.

Thump

Thump

Viona's heart beat faster hearing Nurse Chloe's words. She then remembered Fernando's earlier words telling her that Doctor Cecilia was currently in a relationship with Andrew.

"I see, it's no wonder she doesn't want to pick up my phone," Viona replied with a smile.

"Just excuse her, Doc, you know how young people these days, hehehe," answered Chloe with a big smile, which showed her rows of teeth covered in braces.

"It would be great to be able to go like that with a partner," Viona said softly as she put her cell phone into a special bag.

"Of course, Doctor, especially if all our groceries are carried by the boyfriend. Ughhh it must be great, Doctor," Chloe continued without guilt.

"I wish I could feel that way too," Viona replied unconsciously.

"Why, aren't you experience that with Mr. Fernando, can't you do that too?" Chloe asked quietly as she tilted her head in disbelief at Viona's previous words.

Viona took a deep breath and then told the reason why she couldn't go shopping like most couples, Viona once asked to go to a shopping center with Fernando together.

However, the result was that when the visitors realized Fernando's presence, they immediately surrounded Fernando and asked to take a photo with him. As a result, their plan to shop failed, which was what made Viona lost her enthusiasm when she wanted to go shopping again.

Nurse Chloe swallowed her saliva when she heard Viona's words, she now cursed her stupidity for asking such stupid questions to Viona.

She forgot that Fernando was not a random person. Of course doing shopping together like other couples was really very difficult for Viona to do.

"I'm sorry, Doctor, to have asked you such stupid question earlier," said Chloe softly, feeling guilty.

Viona smiled at her personal assistant's words. She then got up from her chair and walked towards the door because her practice schedule was approaching. She also called Nurse Chloe to go to the general practice room.

Nurse Chloe smiled when she realized that Viona was not angry with her. Several young doctors who yesterday had teased Doctor Cecilia were silent when they saw Viona coming. Her aura looked very intimidating to those young doctors, even though Viona didn't do anything.

She just walked past with Chloe to her practice room. The patients who saw Viona came immediately screaming with joy, some of them even ran and hugged her tightly so that Viona almost fell if only William was not holding her back.

"Please everyone, sit down in order because Doctor Viona will start her practice," said William, trying to calm the patients who looked very enthusiastic.

"Okay doc!" All the patients sitting in front of Viona's practice room replied in unison.

Viona then went into her room with Chloe and William. She then read some of the patient histories in front of her.

"You are a great doctor," said William, folding his arms across his chest.

"What do you mean, Doctor?" Viona asked in confusion.

"This is the first time I see patients who are so enthusiastic when they see their doctor come, because usually, they are normal but not with your patients," William answered with a smile.

Viona smiled at the words of her husband's friend. She then ordered Chloe to prepare to call the patient who came first.

"My mother used to say that if you want to be respected by others, then respect others first and that's what I apply to everyone, including my patients," Viona said quietly to William as she walked to the examination table waiting for her patients to come in.

"You are very lucky, Fernando, to be able to find such a good woman," William thought, smiling at Viona, who was already sitting on the examining bench.

To be continued.
