Fernando ran as fast as he could when he heard Bruno's explanation. A million questions popped into his head. He couldn't wait to talk directly with his wife who was currently in the room.

"Vio ... Viona, open the door!" Fernando shouted while banging on the door of his room repeatedly.

​​

"Viona, open it!!" Fernando shouted again. He had completely forgotten that his room was locked using a password that he could open himself.

In the room, Viona sat on the bed with a thick blanket over her, scared to hear the voice of Fernando's shouts, which sounded very angry. Her pale face showed that she was very scared. Right now, she regretted her honesty to her husband earlier.

"Babe, open the door please, I'm not mad at you. I just want to ask you important things, my love," said Fernando in a voice that was softer than before, as he knocked on the door of his room, hoping that Viona would open the door for him.

"Huh! What were you doing there?" Ask William, who just got to the second floor.

"Can't you see what I'm doing, Will?" Fernando asked back curtly.

"Hahaha I know, I mean why did you knock on your door like that? Didn't your room use a password to enter? Then why did you have to knock on the door like that?" William replied in confusion.

"Shit ... why did you just say it, Will?" Fiercely, Fernando snapped as he ruffled his hair in annoyance and shifted to the side of the door to enter a combination to open the door.

William could only remain silent when he was blamed by Fernando. As an innocent bystander, he was actually being scolded, when he had good intentions.

"You reckless guy ... since a long time ago you haven't changed," said William to himself.

Fernando went straight into the room when he managed to open the door after failing to enter the password three times. Seeing Fernando went into the room, William also entered because he didn't want to see Fernando went out of control. He was afraid that when Fernando got very angry with Viona, it would affect the baby Viona was carrying, and in the end, he would be the one bothered. Therefore, he chose to prevent anything bad from happening.

"Viona ... Vio …"

Fernando could not finish his words when he saw Viona already fast asleep on the bed with a thick blanket rolled up on her body.

Feelings of anxiety and anger in his heart subsided when he saw Viona sleeping in that position. He then walked slowly to the bed and slowly unrolling the blanket that wrapped Viona's body. William, who was standing in front of the door, smiled when he saw what Fernando was doing. His guess was wrong after all. He was now more and more convinced that Fernando had really fallen in love with Viona.

"You're getting ready, bro," William said quietly as he tapped Fernando on the shoulder when he finished opening Viona's blanket and made it tidy again so that Viona was comfortable.

"Ready for what?" Asked Fernando, confused.

"You're ready to be a good father to your child," William replied while smiled.

"Since the beginning I managed to conquer her, I can't wait to impregnate her, Will, you certainly know that, right?" Fernando joked.

Bam!

"Ouch ...! Will, you-"

"Feel that," said William, quickly interrupted Fernando, who was holding his arm that was just being beaten.

"What's wrong?" asked Fernando. He was upset, trying to find out why William had hit him.

Instead of answering Fernando's question, William walked to the sofa in Fernando's room and sat casually without feeling guilty. Fernando sighed when he saw his friend's behavior. He quickly caught up with William and sat next to him.

"You're not angry with your wife?" Asked William quietly, opening the conversation.

"Actually, when I stood in front of the door, I was about to explode. But when I came in and saw her sleeping like that, all off a sudden my anger was gone," answered Fernando quietly, as he opened his eyes slowly.

"That's good. You have to be able to manage your emotions. However, this is not entirely your wife's fault. I'm sure she did that so desperately because she was very tired of being in her golden cage, Fernando. Don't forget that your wife was a career woman, so if you keep restraining her like this, then you shouldn't be surprised if one day you see her run away from home like today," William said quietly.

"Am I doing something wrong, Will? I just want to protect her so that nothing bad happens to her womb, my son is in her stomach, Will, the son of Fernando Gray Willan, whom I have been dreaming of for years," Fernando replied, trying to defend himself.

"I know your intentions are good but try to think about it carefully. A good thing for you does not necessarily good for other people, especially for Viona who has a hardworking background. She is very different from your other women who will be very happy if you treat them like this, Fernando," William said again.

Hearing the words of his personal doctor and his best friend made Fernando speechless. He actually knew that Viona didn't like the treatment he was giving, but he still did it because she had not complained to him all this time. But today's incident really messed up his heart, he never thought that she would left the house in such a dangerous way.

"Give her trust, your wife is a smart person, so she must be able to take good care of the baby, Fernando," William whispered softly.

"But I'm afraid that ..."

"You can ask a bodyguard to accompany her whenever she is outside, Fernando," Wiliiam said in a rising voice, cutting Fernando's words.

"I don't trust anyone to look after her, I'm afraid Franklin is still bothering her again, Will," Fernando replied briefly.

"If you don't trust anyone to take care of your wife, at least you have to believe in Viona, I'm sure she can take care of herself well. One thing you have to know, Fernando, a mother will do anything for her child, so you take it easy. Viona is smart enough to take care of herself. It's proven that she can keep her chastity for you right?" William asked, trying to remind Fernando what Viona had been doing.

"If you continue to treat her like this, then you have to be prepared if one day you see her run away again without your knowledge, Fernando," William added to his previous words.

Fernando immediately fell silent without a sound. His brain was digesting everything William had said. His little heart began to open little by little, but his great fear still made him doubt. He was afraid that if he let Viona go out with the bodyguard without him, bad things would happen to her. Moreover, Frank could still bother Viona from time to time. Just thinking about that had scared him.

"Give Viona a little freedom, Fernando," said William again.

"But ..."

"Remember, Viona has given up a lot for you. She has also followed your orders to stop working at the hospital, don't forget that, Fernando. For a doctor to stop working is a very tough decision, especially for Viona, who is the best surgeon. I hope you understand what I mean," said William, cutting back Fernando.

"Thank you for your input, Will. I will try to make peace with myself not to restrain her too much like this again," Fernando replied softly.

"I know you can ... show her true love. Viona definitely knows her own limits, Fernando, you have to be sure of that. Your wife's a smart woman, unlike other women," replied William softly, patting Fernando's shoulder.

Fernando just nodded his head slowly without saying anything when he heard Wiliiam's words. He then got up from the couch and walked to the door, which made William confused.

"What what are you going to do?" asked William curiously.

"Get out and get a drink. What do you want? My wife is sleeping after all. I should have asked you how long you want to be in my room, Will?" Asked Fernando with a rising tone.

Thump!

William immediately fell silent. He forgot that he was in his friend's bedroom, because he talked too much.

"Wait for me ..."
