Chapter 626 - I'm Afraid Something's Happening
Oscar kept silent, listening intently to Lisa's story. He didn't know what to feel. He felt sad because at that time, he was not there to help Lisa solve her problem. However, he was also relieved because the problem had passed.
Ever since Lisa and Oscar divorced, Lisa must have faced trouble after trouble alone. She had nobody to comfort her or give her advice.
"Eh?" Suddenly, Lisa stopped talking and looked outside. The road to Vira's apartment was not this route.
"This isn't the way to the apartment, is it? Where are we going?"
Hearing that suddenly made Dani look at Lisa through the rearview mirror. "Sorry, I think you—"
"It's okay," Oscar interrupted quickly as he looked at Dani from the rearview mirror, "Take us to the house."
Lisa was not familiar with the route taken by Dani. Indeed, she had been staying at Oscar's house lately, it was just that she didn't pay much attention to the streets. The woman was too busy with her thoughts to pay attention to the road.
"Yes, Mr Oscar." Danny replied kindly.
Then, about 20 minutes later, the silver car arrived in front of Oscar's yard. Mrs. Rusminah was already in front of the house wearing a wide and friendly smile.
"Good evening Mr. Oscar, Mrs. Lisa," said Mrs. Rusminah warmly, "Finally you have arrived."
Lisa walked past her but did not forget to return the greeting. She took off her high heels, placed them near the entrance, then walked into Oscar's house.
The woman looked left and right, trying to find the tiny figure she'd been missing lately. Since Vira was hospitalized, she almost never set foot in the man's house. She always spent her time in the apartment, office, or hospital.
And so she really misses the boy's presence in her life.
"Where's William?" Lisa asked.
Mrs. Rusminah locked the door and then turned around for a moment, "Oh, William is sleeping. Today he has gym class, so he's tired and wants to sleep early."
"Oh okay."
At first, Lisa wanted to visit William's room and wake the boy up. It had been a long time since she had seen the boy's chubby cheeks. But hearing that William had gym class today and that he was definitely tired, Lisa didn't want to disturb her son's rest.
Oscar cleared his throat as he loosened his tie, "Miss Rusminah, thank you for taking care of William today. If you want to rest now, that's okay. After this, we will also rest."
"In that case, okay. I'll take my leave first."
Finally after that, only Oscar and Lisa were left relaxing in the living room. Before Oscar could turn on the TV, Lisa had heard a strange sound. The voice sounded so close, but she didn't know where it was coming from.
Then, Lisa realized that it came from Oscar's boxed belly. Lisa raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Are you hungry? Didn't you just have the dinner that Dani brought earlier?"
Oscar grinned, "I didn't have time to eat this afternoon. Besides, the portion of food that Dani bought was not enough to cover my lunch and dinner."
"Haven't had lunch yet? That's surprising." Lisa muttered.
"Yeah. This afternoon, after a meeting with another company, I asked Dani to go to a flower shop and supermarket near the hospital. I only had time to buy some fresh fruit and flowers. Then, after that, I immediately visited you at the hospital. I can't bear to leave you alone in the hospital."
Lisa blinked a few times hearing that. Her cheeks felt warm and her whole body felt like it had been struck by lightning. Even though the one who was sick and had to be hospitalized was Vira, but from the way the man spoke, it was as if Lisa was the patient.
As if Lisa needed Oscar's presence 24/7.
"Gosh," Lisa replied, trying to sound casual. "I'm not a kid, you know. You can come to the hospital after lunch. I wasn't alone anyway. There was Vira, the nurse, the doctor, the security guard, they were all there. Why did you have to feel uneasy leaving me alone in the hospital? I can take care of myself.."
Lisa's tone was loud and seemed to make fun of Oscar's actions. But in her heart, the woman melted and wanted to kiss the man to the moon and back!
But it's not her if she can express her feelings openly. Everyone already knows that Lisa's ego is too big to show her true feelings towards Oscar.
Oscar, who was tired and just wanted to rest, heard Lisa's words as if he was being burned by the fire of emotion. In his mind, the man couldn't stop thinking why his actions were always wrong in Lisa's eyes.
Oscar was willing to skip lunch so he could accompany Lisa and protect her from any trouble that might occur, but was that Lisa's reply?
Over time, Lisa's nonchalant attitude made Oscar tired of struggling.
"You heard what you said, didn't you? I'm trying to tell you that I'm afraid something will happen to you! I don't want you to be kidnapped or hurt by other people who don't like you!"
Since the incident a few weeks ago, when Lisa and Vira were almost raped and possibly killed in that narrow alley, there was a feeling of panic that rose in Oscar's heart every time he didn't hear from Lisa for less than 30 minutes. He was afraid that something would happen to her.
If something untoward happened to her again, Oscar would not be able to forgive himself.
Hearing Oscar's high pitched voice made Lisa humble. She knew that her way of speaking was wrong and it was only right that Oscar replied in a raised voice.
"I know. It's just that... It was broad daylight and in the hospital, what kind of crazy people are desperate enough to kidnap me? You know that there are security guards and nurses roaming the corridors and rooms every time, right?"
Oscar sighed, "I know. But we don't know what will happen next.. We never know if there were bad people disguised as nurses or security guards, right? They could have kidnapped you during the day."
