In his office, Frank washed his hands with running water before he gave antibiotics to prevent irritation. He painstakingly treated the wound on his hand alone, without any help.

"What happened to you?" Ammy shrieked, worried. She immediately ran to Professor Frank's office when she heard the news that the handsome professor was injured while eating in the cafeteria.

​​

"It's just a small cut. Don't go overboard like that," Frank replied coldly, glancing sharply at Ammy, who was still standing in front of the door with teary eyes.

"But why did you get hurt like that? I ..."

"Shut up, Ammy ... keep your limits! Remember what I've told you before!" Frank yelled, interrupted Ammy's words quickly.

"Get out of my office now, don't let anyone see you here," Frank added to his previous words.

Being expelled by Frank like that made Ammy pause immediately. She did not expect to hear such harsh words from Frank. Even though her intention was good, it was precisely the rude attitude of Frank, her master, that she received. With tears streaming down her face, Ammy left Frank's office, looking down.

"You're just my sex slave, Ammy. Don't try to move up another level with your disgusting way," Frank said coldly. He felt disgusted when he saw Ammy crying earlier.

Not long after, Frank finally finished treating the wound on his hand, which was not that big, so he didn't cover the wound with a bandage. Because his break time was over, he then continued his work again, even though in fact his stomach had not been filled with food. because earlier in the cafeteria, he only stirred his plate without actually putting any food into his mouth.

With dignified steps, Frank returned to his practice room. Today he had the task of giving a demonstration in front of final year medical students as a substitute for William, who was allowed to return home due to an important business. The students who came seemed to really pay attention to Frank's explanation. They were amazed to see the handsome young professor who was still single.

"Okay, I hope you can understand my brief explanation well," said Frank quietly as he closed his explanation.

"Any question, please raise your hand and ..."

Frank could not finish his words when he saw that almost all the students in front of him raised their hands in the air.

"One by one, guys," said Frank with a smile, asking all the students in front of him to lower their hands back.

"So who is going to ask first?" asked Frank softly, smiling, when he saw all the students, who were mostly women, in front of him had lowered their hands.

"Are you still single, Sir?"

"What's the criteria to be your girlfriend, Professor?"

"Is there still a chance to approach you, Sir?"

"Do you think that woman should have a sexy body?"

"Do you have your own standards in judging a woman, Sir?"

Professor Frank smiled at all the questions from the students in front of him. He was used to the same questions, but today he felt happy when he listened to all the questions they asked.

"I will briefly answer all your questions. After this, I hope no one asks about personal matters again, huh?" Frank said softly with a smile.

"Yes, Sir," all the students who are in front of him replied to him simultaneously.

"I am still single. For the criteria of a partner, so far which is reasonable like most men, of course she must be a real woman, hehehe," Frank said jokingly.

Hearing Frank's words, all the students in the room immediately laughed. They couldn't believe that the number one surgeon at Global Bross Hospital still had a high humor side. Soon, the Q&A session started again. This time they were more serious than before. Frank also answered all the students' questions patiently. He did not want the students to have the wrong perception because surgery was a science that couldn't be taken lightly.

From behind the door, Professor Dexter and Doctor Robert watched what Frank was doing. They were both amazed by Frank's character. Doctor William was supposed to fill the medical students' visit schedule, but he was forced to cancel his schedule because he received a sudden call from Fernando.

"Luckily, there is Professor Frank," said Professor Dexter softly with a smile.

"Why, Sir, isn't this a routine schedule done by the students?" Doctor Robert asked in confusion.

"It's not like that, Doctor. Actually, the one who should conduct the demo was not Professor Frank. There was another doctor who had been appointed beforehand, but he could not be here because there was an important matter that could not be postponed, so Professor Frank replaced the doctor," replied Professor Dexter.

"Oh, I see," Doctor Robert replied softly.

Professor Dexter nodded his head slowly. Today he was almost died standing by Fernando when he found out that William was asked to come to his house. Meanwhile, this morning the medical students and their lecturers were already on their way to the hospital. As a result, he had to ask Professor Frank to replace Doctor William. At first, he was afraid that Professor Frank would refuse his request, but he could breathe with relief when he found out that Professor Frank was willing to fill in for the presentation.

Not long after that, the event was over. One by one, the students asked to take a picture with Professor Frank. Actually, he didn't like to have his photo taken, but after nearly forty people asked for it, finally Frank couldn't refuse. He patiently served the students' request for a group photo.

"Thank you for your time, Professor."

"I hope that after graduation I can work here and become your assistant, Sir."

"Wait for me to graduate, Sir."

"See you, handsome professor."

Frank smiled at the words of the students who were saying goodbye to him, until finally the lecturer who guided the students came to him and apologized for what his students had done.

"Well, they're students, Ma'am, I know they are just kidding," said Frank, kindly responding to the apology from the lecturer.

"Still, I'm ashamed, Sir. I feel guilty to you. Once again, please forgive my students, Sir," asked the lecturer regretfully.

"I don't feel offended, Ma'am, so you don't have to feel guilty like this, and thank you for this flower," Frank replied quickly. He felt uncomfortable receiving a bouquet of flowers from the lecturer.

"Once again, I apologize and thank you for your time, Sir. Now, if you'll excuse me," The lecturer excused herself while bowing her head to Frank.

Professor Frank nodded back at the lecturer, then he walked to the table to tidy up his personal belongings that he had used for the presentation.

"You are extraordinary, Sir." Professor Dexter said softly, as he clapped his hands and walked toward Professor Frank with Doctor Robert behind him.

"Don't overdo it, Sir, it's just an easy job," Professor Frank replied briefly.

"But you are really great, Sir, the way you explain to the students was easy to understand." praise Doctor Robert sincerely.

"Never mind. You don't need to be like this, I'm just doing my job. Oh right, this flower is for you, Sir, I don't need it," Professor Frank replied with an elevated tone while handing Professor Dexter the bouquet of flowers rudely.

Professor Dexter, who did not expect to be given flowers by Professor Frank, seemed shocked. He almost fell backwards if he wasn't held by Doctor Robert. Because Professor Frank gave the bouquet of flowers a little harshly while pushing it to Professor Dexter.

"Are you okay, Sir?" Doctor Robert asked Professor Dexter quietly, after seeing Professor Frank leave.

"I'm fine, Doc, thank you," Professor Dexter replied briefly, looking at Professor Frank who had walked a long way.

"Professor Frank maybe did that accidentally, Sir, don't take it personally," said Doctor Robert quietly, trying to calm Professor Dexter.

"Yes, I think so too, so let's leave this room, Doc," Professor Dexter replied quickly as he walked out of the meeting room.

The two of them then left the meeting room to return to their previous work. Professor Dexter was a little annoyed at being treated harshly by Frank. He knew that Fernando's younger brother didn't really like him because he chose to be on Fernando's side instead of Frank's side. Almost everyone close to Fernando would be opposed by Frank, including William, who was known as Fernando's personal doctor.

After finished giving a little lecture to the medical student, Frank then returned to his office again. He sat in his chair, closing his eyes. His mind drifted to think about what happened to Viona. When William received a call from Fernando, he overheard the conversation between the two of them, because William had put the call on speaker while he was in the toilet.

"If something bad happens to you, then I will intervene myself to kill my brother, Vio. Be patient a little more, Vio, I will free you from the clutches of that monster," Frank said to himself. He was afraid that something bad would happen to Viona because Fernando did not allow her to work again.

Without Frank realizing, there were a pair of feet stepping into his private office slowly. After she closed the door, she took one step closer to approach Frank, carefully without a sound. Shortly thereafter, she stood in front of Frank, while looking down, waiting for Frank to open his eyes. Her face looked sad, holding back sadness and guilt, but she did not dare to make a sound and could only wait for the professor to notice her existence.
