Chapter 23 - Meeting An Old Friend

Viona decided not to go to the orphanage again after she saw Fernando come there. She knew Fernando was looking for her. The look in Fernando's eyes that Viona saw yesterday when she got out of the car was the same as six years ago. She always shuddered when she remembered it, even though she was no longer a teenager. The trauma didn't easily disappear from her memory.

Because she was scared of him, Viona finally asked for a pick-up service from the hospital when she wanted to go to work. At this new hospital, she got a good position as the main Doctor who only needed to be on duty in the morning, so she felt a little comfortable.​​

It didn't take long for her to adapt to her new workplace and build rapport with her co-workers in the hospital. She even accidentally received information about Fernando, who was now the most respected businessman in the city.

Based on the information she got from several other doctors, Viona finally learned that Fernando was going to be officially engaged in a lavish party with Nessie, who was Natasya's cousin. The evil witch herself was reportedly sentenced to five years in prison for being the mastermind of Zevanya's murder.

However, because her family was respected, she only served one month's in prison. And to this day, her family still had a good relationship with Fernando. The proof was that they actually matched Nessie as Fernando's future wife to replace Natasya.

Her lawyers managed to make a good alibi for Natasya and she was only sentenced briefly for being acquainted with the perpetrator. The main perpetrators were sentenced to to life imprisonment, six years ago.

"You are bad, Natasya," Viona muttered to herself while enjoying her lunch at the cafeteria with the other doctors.

"Who's Natasya?" asked a girl sitting next to Viona curiously.

"Ohh, she is a character in a novel that I just read… hehe," Viona replied sheepishly. She didn't realize that someone else heard her words.

"Wow, aren't you so busy woth work? You still  have time to read novels too?" sasked an orthopedic doctor, teasing Viona.

Suddenly the Doctor's words made the other doctors and nurses laugh out loud. Only Viona smiled wryly at her new friends teasing her. After their break time was over, the doctors returned to their respective posts.

Viona who immediately had to handle hit-and-run patient who needed a surgery. The girl quickly handled her patient. She was a student and had an accident when she was coming home from school. She was accidentally hit by a car.

Two hours later, Viona finished with her job and the patient survived, thanks to good teamwork between the surgical division and the neurological division. After the patient was transferred to the ICU, a crowd of people, who were the patient's family, approached Viona. She was talking with a nurse.

"Thank you, Doctor, for saving my child," cried a middle-aged woman to Viona. She sincerely expressed her gratitude.

"I am just doing my job, Ma'am. Besides, I am not alone. There are other doctors who help treat your daughter," said Viona. She smiled sweetly to make the patient's mother feel at ease. She even hugged the middle-aged lady tightly as a form of sincere support.

"Oh, by the way, Doctor. A police officer is coming here. He wants to meet my daughter. Will that be okay?" asked the patient's mother after she broke away from Viona.

"Yes, Ma'am, but not too long. He shouldn't talk to the patient at this stage, but if he just needs to take her pictures for the investigation, it's okay," Viona replied with a smile.

Soon the lady went outside to call a young police officer in to meet Viona.

"Hi, I am Doctor Viona," said Viona, greeting the police officer who had just arrived with her patient's mother with a friendly smile.

"Viona???" said the police officer in a surprised tone.

Viona furrowed her brows, trying to remember where she had met this policeman. "Yes?"

"You don't remember me, Viona?" asked the policeman again, looking into Viona's eyes intently.

"Who are you?" Viona asked nervously, as she tried to remember the face of the man in front of her.

"Oh.. Andrew!!!!!" Viona suddenly shrieked in shock when she realized that the police officer was the student she met on the subway six  years ago when she came home from work.

"Yes, it's me, Andrew," replied the officer with a smile.

Viona smiled broadly when she met an old friend. Since she graduated from school, she had no friends anymore. Andrew was her first friend before she stayed at Fernando's house.

Andrew did his job to check the patient to make the police reports. Viona sat outside with the patient's mother and several other doctors. Not long after, the police left Andrew, who was their boss. The patient's mother excused herself to keep he daughter company in the ward, leaving Viona and Andrew in the lounge outside the ward.

"Where have you been, Viona?" asked Andrew to open the conversation.

"I went places," Viona replied with a smile.

"Give me your cell phone number," said Andrew as he pulled out his cell phone in front of Viona.

Viona took Andrew's cellphone and entered her cellphone number. She made a call so that Andrew's cellphone number entered her cellphone. She typed in Andrew's name in her telephone contact.

Andrew did the same thing. After talking for a long time, the man finally said goodbye. His working hours were not over. Viona went back to work doing routine checks on other patients.
