Viona stood looking at her husband who was already conscious. He was getting an examination from William who immediately came when he heard that Fernando was in surgery. Using Fernando's helicopter, it didn't take him long to reach Elora Village, even though he was told that Viona was in Elora Village, but in fact William was still shocked when he saw Viona again after nearly ten months of not seeing his best friend's wife.

"Everything is good. You have to be thankful that your wife is a great doctor. If she didn't take care of your hand, maybe you can't use your left hand anymore," said William curtly.

​​

"Why do you have to be here if only to disturb me, Will?" said Fernando irritably. He was annoyed when he saw his friend was there. The reason was that he hoped that Viona would still take care of him, not his talkative friend.

"You really don't know yourself ..."

"Ouch! Fuck!"

Fernando screamed in pain when his hand which Viona operated on was pressed firmly by William. He almost threw the glass on the nightstand towards William. But he could not do it because his hand could not reach the glass. Viona just smiled seeing her husband complaining of pain while continuing to swear at William. Actually what William did was not a bad thing. That was actually a good sign, because if the patient couldn't feel the pain, it was a sign of a problem on the nervous system near the area being operated on. So it meant that the operation was successful.

Not so long after, a nurse came to bring some medicines for Fernando. At first, Fernando hoped that Viona would help him to take the medicine, but in fact his wife was still silent by the door, folding her arms across her chest doing nothing. So Justin helped Fernando to take the medicine. Seeing that made William smile faintly. He then asked Viona out because Fernando had to change clothes to prepare to return to the city at the request of William, who was worried about Fernando's condition. Even though Fernando wanted to stay at the Mt. Elizbeth to be close to Viona, William still wanted Fernando to return to the city, because this is the first time Fernando got a surgery. As his friend and personal doctor, William wanted Fernando to return to Ontario.

"You look different, Viona," said William quietly, opening the conversation while he was sitting with Viona in the front seat of Fernando's room.

"Different from which side, Doc ... uh sorry professor?" Viona asked.

"Hahahaha ... you actually can still call me Will, I don't mind, Viona," replied William with a laugh.

"We have to maintain the code of ethics, right?" said Viona quietly.

William smiled at Viona's words. It was not Viona's hairstyle that made him feel that his best friend's wife looked different, but from the way she speak. She looked more relaxed, unlike Viona ten months ago who looked very careful in speaking. Even Viona's current attitude made William surprised, because this was the first time he saw Viona dare to defy Fernando, something he had never seen one year ago.

After talking at length, Viona said goodbye to William because she wanted to see Mrs. Deborah. Today, Mrs. Deborah was also allowed to go home because her condition was much better than before. William could only watched her go to her Mom's room without being able to hold her back.

"Looks like you are back to being your original self, Viona. I'm sure this is your real attitude when you haven't met Fernando," said William. When Viona left Fernando, he searched a lot of information about Viona from her colleagues at the hospital in England.

"Fernando is really lucky to have a wife like you, Viona," murmured William, praising her, remembering the popularity of Viona at the campus and her first hospital in England.

In Mrs. Deborah's room, there was a cold war between Adam and Viona. In fact, Viona had no problem with her brother, Adam, but it was Adam who had started the cold war with Viona. She repeatedly talked to him, but he did not respond to her words. He pretended not to hear what she said so that Mrs. Deborah smiled. In the past, when she had not separated Viona and Adam, the two of them also often quarreled when they were little.

"When I'm gone, will you guys be like this?" asked Mrs. Deborah quietly.

"Mom…"

"What are you saying?"

Mrs. Deborah smiled seeing her two children talking at the same time. Then she opened her arms wide and asked her two children to come. Viona and Adam finally walked closer to Mrs. Deborah and hugged her tightly at the same time.

"You two are siblings, you don't want to fight like that. Because when one of you has a problem, the other will definitely help," said Mrs. Deborah quietly as she hugged her two children lovingly.

"You understand, right?" asked Mrs. Deborah again.

"I understands, Mom."

"Adam also understands ma'am,"

"It's good if you understand, child, I don't want your relationship to be cut off. If you two can fight like this while I'm alive, what would happen when I die?" asked Mrs. Deborah again.

"Mom, don't talk like that," shrieked Viona loudly. She couldn't stop herself from being calm.

Mrs. Deborah took her embrace from Adam, she then stroked Viona's face lovingly with a smile.

"Go home, child, go to your husband's house. Your place is not here, not in Elora," said Mrs. Deborah softly.

"Mom ..."

"Son, your sister is married. Her husband even picked her up here, we as a family should support them to get back together. God really hates separation especially to have to divorce, marriage is a sacred bond that cannot be taken as a joke," said Mrs. Deborah, cutting Adam's words quickly.

Hearing his mother's words made Adam speechless. His hope to be with Viona had completely disappeared. He could not hope for Viona anymore, because his own mother was also supporting Viona to return to Fernando, the man he really hated right now.

"Go home, kid, go back to your real home. Your husband needs you, remember the vows you both made when you were married," whispered Mrs. Deborah softly as she kissed Viona's forehead lovingly.

"But I want to take care of you at the orphanage, let me stay at the orphanage," Viona replied, half sobbing.

"There is Adam who will take care of me, child. I'm cured after all. Your husband needs you right now, child, especially when he was just finished surgery, right?" said Mrs. Deborah, quickly rejecting Viona's request.

Viona's tears dripped when she heard her mother's words. She felt that her mother was currently begging her to come back to Fernando. It was not an advice she commonly heard.

"You understand what I mean, right, child?" asked Mrs. Deborah.

"I understand, Mom. I will return home," replied Viona sobbing. She then hugged her mother and crying uncontrollably.

Seeing Viona cried making Adam choose to leave the room. He still could not accept his mother's decision to ask Viona to leave.

"Why can't you see me, Anji? I'm here, Anji. I love you sincerely, Anji," Adam thought, as he closed his eyes. In his heart, he knew that Viona still loved Fernando.
