Chapter 203 - Go And Come Back
"What the hell is wrong with me...! It's obvious that Oscar is a jerk, but I still think about him!
" Lisa cursed irritably when she couldn't distract her mind from thinking about the man. The shadows of Oscar's handsome face seemed reluctant to leave her mind. She didn't even know what had gotten into herself that every time that man came and met her, her moods were always terrible.
It was as if the boss of a multinational telecommunications company had bewitched her to make it hard for her to forget him.
"Lis, stop already. You are starting to become obsessed with that one white bastard. Why don't you remember that he was cute to you in the morning but then switched to be mean to you in the afternoon just like that? He kept going round and round, nothing good will come from him!
" Lisa cursed herself again in her mind.
The woman laid down her tired back then stared at the ceiling of her room with an anxious gaze. She wondered why fate brought her to bastards and made her life hell. Several years ago, she got cheated by her ex-boyfriend from college and now she was the widow of a European-blooded, multinational telecommunication company president.
She thought about how cruel reality was. She closed her eyes then took a deep breath. Her eyes still hadn't recovered, so she could only see the shadows of the objects around her that seemed blurry. Lisa was worried for a moment. What if the doctor who treated her lied? What if her eye would never recover and that she would be blind for life?
The only thing Lisa worried about if she lost her sight was the fate of her mother and sister. If Lisa wa sblind, then she would lose her job forever. This meant that there was no hope for her to support her mother and sister who still needed financial aid from her. Becoming the backbone of the family since her father left her for another woman was really hard for Lisa.
Even though Lisa could end up selling herself on the street, she still didn't want to do that. If she could make money in a good way, she would still do it. Lisa was an independent woman even though she felt lonely and wanted company sometimes. She would not give herself to marry a rich man just for the sake of wealth.
No, Lisa didn't need a man for possessions. She needed love. A sincere love that she had never gotten from any of her past relationships.
Lisa laid on the bed feeling very uncomfortable. Losing her sight like this now made her bored and worried. She blinked several times, but her vision was still blurry. Lisa wanted to recover quickly and immediately returned to the office to work. She didn't want to stay in this damned place too long and get stuck with her ex-husband.
It was almost 7 in the evening but no nurse had yet to come in to bring her her dinner. Lisa sighed and held her stomach which was starting to growl. She was admitted to a prestigious hospital and in a VIP room, but why was the service so bad that she often had her scheduled meals delivered late?
Lisa pressed the bell on her left hand, asking a nurse to bring her food.
She waited a long time, but there was no sign of the nurse coming to her room. A few moments later, she heard footsteps from outside the room. The sound of the footsteps became clearer as it approached her closer.
At first, Lisa thought that it was the sound of the nurse she had just called to deliver her dinner, but when the door to the room opened, someone came inside without saying a word. The figure looked so tall and carried two bags of groceries in one hand.
Lisa narrowed her eyes, trying to focus on the image of the figure who had come in.
"Mr. Dani?
" She asked, looking surprised.
"Good evening, Miss Lisa, I brought the food from Mr. Oscar. He said this is for Miss Lisa,
" Dani said in a deep, grim voice. The man walked over to Lisa and put down the bag filled with food.
"But I asked the nurse to bring me my dinner. You don't have to give me this food, sir,
" Lisa replied politely.
The man unwrapped food from the grocery bag while answering,
"I'm sorry, but this is a direct order from Mr. Oscar. I must carry out everything as he ordered, without exception.
"
Lisa could not clearly see what food Oscar had asked Dani to bring to her. But since she lost her ability to see it clearly, her sense of smell had now become sharper. She could smell the fragrant aroma of fish next to her.
"Fish Soup?
" Lisa asked, swallowing her mouth. The smell of the soup was very appetizing.
"Fish Soup and Asparagus Miss,
" Dani answered.
"Mr. Oscar told me to go to a prestigious Chinese restaurant in Central Jakarta this afternoon.
"
'Reach people are truly free, aren't they?'
"Um, isn't this too much, sir?
" Lisa asked, trying to refuse the food that Oscar sent her.
In her heart, Lisa didn't want to eat food from her ex-husband. She would continue to refuse all Oscar's efforts to mend their relationship so that the man could learn from his experience— not all women could be bought with money, and Lisa was one amongst the few.
Lisa pressed the bell again and then asked the nurse,
"Sorry, how come my dinner hasn't been delivered until now, huh?
" Her forehead wrinkled, she began to get annoyed by the poor service at the so-called prestigious hospital.
The nurse bowed her head and apologized,
"But I have been ordered by your husband to provide lunch only.
"
'Husband? Who is my husband!?'
Lisa frowned at the nurse's nonsensical explanation. She tilted her head and thought for a moment. As far as she could remember, Rangga did not say that he was her husband when Lisa was first referred to the ER. Then, she realized something.
"That bastard! This must be Oscar's doing!
" Lisa scolded as she pounded on the dining table near her bed. The nurse blinked when she heard the loud pounding sound echo in the room and took a step back. The nurse then left the room quickly.
"Miss Lisa, let's eat soup from Mr. Oscar. Should I help you eat?
" Mr. Dani said, holding the bowl and spoon.
"I wasn't being rude but I have to refuse it. I don't want to get attached to him anymore, so you can eat the soup for yourself or throw it away. It's up to you, Mr. Dani,
" Lisa said. This time, her tone was firm and she said it with a steady voice.
"But Miss, if you don't eat, you won't get better soon!
" Dani insisted with a worried look.
"Lisa, you better finish the soup,
" a deep, sensual voice that was familiar to Lisa suddenly filled the entire room. The voice grew closer and closer.
Lisa could hear other heavy footsteps apart from Mr. Dani's footsteps.
"Oscar!? I told you not to come back!
" Lisa exclaimed in surprise as she stared at the shadow of a tall, slender figure approaching her.
"I told you, I won't leave you until your vision recovers!
" The man's voice boomed to all corners of the room. The temperature in the room suddenly grew colder with Oscar's presence.
Lisa was getting worried. Her heart was beating very fast when she heard the man's voice. It looked like Oscar was very unhappy tonight.
"Mr.. Dani, you can leave now,
" Oscar ordered coldly.
