"What's wrong with you, Steffi?" Adam asked, slowly glancing at his assistant who had been smiling to herself.
"It turns out that people in the hospital are good doctors," said Steffi, changing the conversation. She could not possibly say the truth to Adam.
"Don't judge people from the outside, you haven't met them directly," Adam said with a smile.
He still vividly remembered what Steffi had said earlier when they were on their way to the Global Bross Hospital. Where Steffi looked scared and thought about the opinions of the people in the hospital, she was afraid that the doctors in the big hospital would reject them.
"Hehe, yes," said Steffi, embarrassedly.
Soon, Adam returned to focus on driving his car back to Elora village. He was happy because all the medicines that had run out at his clinic had been supplied again in sufficient quantities for the next few months. The reason was that William gave him a greater amount of medicine than he originally requested. He was happy because he didn't have to leave Elora Village like he did. Because when he left, his mind was always unfocused because he thought of Viona, especially like today, where Viona was having her first day period.
After driving for nearly three hours, Adam finally started to enter the village area of Elora. The silence and solitude of the village made him smile. A situation that was in stark contrast to the one in the city earlier. He accelerated his car to the orphanage, because he couldn't wait to meet his mother and Viona. Because Steffi's residence was not far from Adam's orphanage, he stopped by Steffi's house first before returning to the orphanage. Some residents who found out that Adam had returned from the city seemed to cheer him on. They knew that today was Adam's schedule to pick up medical supplies in the city because he gave the announcement at the clinic one week before.

"Mom, Adam comes home…" shrieked a ten year old boy cheerfully, when he saw Adam's car enter the yard of the orphanage.
"Hooray, Adam comes home..."
"Adam comes home, Adam comes home ..."
Noise immediately filled the front yard of the orphanage. They jumped with joy to greet Adam, who just got back from town. The children were happy when they saw him return. They couldn't wait for the gifts that he brought. Agnes, who was Deborah's representative, only smiled at the behavior of her children. She stood at the door to see Adam assisted by Markus, the biggest child of the orphanage, lowering the boxes of medicine one by one from Adam's car into the house.
Soon all the boxes of medicine had been moved into the house. When Adam was about to enter, his hands were pulled by his younger siblings who had been waiting for gifts. With their innocent faces asking Adam for gifts. Deborah had forbidden Adam to pamper them. for fear that if they continued, they would be spoiled, and feared that they would continue to be like that if they were adopted one day. Therefore, Adam followed Deborah's instructions and didn't bring them gifts.
"Oh no, Adam …"
"We were waiting for you from this afternoon, you know..."
"Yes, even though we have been good children for a week now, Adam …"
Hearing the words of the children made Adam smile emotionally. He then squatted in front of his five younger siblings, and slowly took out a packet of chocolates from his pocket.
"Don't tell Mom, just keep quiet. Remember to be good children and don't make Mom angry," Adam whispered, softly, as he hugged his five younger siblings who had been thrown away since childhood.
"Adam is the best," cried Christina with her lisp, with joy.
"I love you, Adam," added Diego, no less cheerful.
"I love Adam," said Daniel, the youngest boy, who didn't want to lose.

"We love you, Adam," cried the twins, Julia and Jonas, at the same time.
"Well, go in there and remember to divide them equally, and don't forget to brush your teeth before going to bed after eating those chocolate," Adam replied softly, with a smile.
"Okay, we understand," said the five children in unison.
After saying that, they ran into the orphanage with big smiles. When passing by Agnes, who was still standing at the door, the five children only laughed broadly without saying anything, Agnes just shook her head slowly towards Adam. She knew that Adam had given the children gifts, seeing from their joyful attitude.
"If Debora finds out about this, she will get angry with you, Adam," said Agnes, quietly, as she pinched Adam's cheek, anxiously.
"Yes, Ma'am, I was wrong, I don't have the heart. The important thing is that they are taught to be good children. Only after that, they can get a prize," Adam replied with a smile.
"Oh, you, come on in. I know you are hungry, aren't you?" said Agnes, kindly.
"Yes, Ma'am, I'm hungry. Oh, Ma'am, where are Deborah and Anji?" Adam asked, curiously, since he had not seen Viona's whereabouts.
"Anji took Deborah to the lake as usual, enjoying the afternoon air," said Agnes, briefly.
"But Anji is..."
"Come with me, I need to talk to you seriously," said Agnes, interrupting Adam's words.
Adam nodded slowly, he then followed Agnes' steps to the kitchen. From the kitchen they could clearly see Viona and Deborah enjoying the afternoon air.
"Do you know why Anji is still in pain every time she has her period, Adam?" Asked Agnes, quietly.
"No, Ma'am, I don't know. The results of the examination at the two obstetricians that I went with, did not say anything bad, they were even surprised at us, who came at that time. Because the condition of the uterus and egg cells are fine, there are no cysts, myoma or signs of cervical cancer or the likes of it," Adam replied, clearly.
"It is not something that a drug can heal, my son, but the person who made her injured could heal her. Anji has a very big trauma, I'm sure when she miscarried at that time she must have suffered a lot, so from there, she imagined her pain again when she was menstruating," said Agnes softly, with tears in her eyes towards Viona who was sitting with Deborah by the lake.
"Find the man who hurt her, my son, bring him here. Force the person to apologize to her. I'm sure after that Anji will return to normal," added Agnes back, patting Adam's shoulder with a hopeful look.
Adam was silent at what Agnes said, in fact he also knew that Viona was not physically ill, but more of a psychologically trauma, as she was deeply hurt. Since the first day he met Viona, Adam wanted to find out what caused Viona to be hurt like that, but he didn't dare to ask because he couldn't bear to go back to opening up the wound in Viona's heart.
"If you can't bring the person who hurt her, then heal Anji, make her smile with your love. I know you like Anji, don't you?" said Agnes, suddenly.
Adam was speechless when he heard what Agnes said, he was surprised how she knew that he had feelings for Viona. Even though all this time he had kept his feelings in. "I actually..."
"Son, I was once young. From your eyes, I already know you like her. If you really like her, go after her, kid. Melt and win her heart, I support you, Adam," said Agnes, cutting Adam's words.
"Well, I will try to heal the wound in Anji's heart," Adam replied, confidently, his eyes sparkled at Viona.
