"What?! Lisa, are you really blind right now!?

" Gatot exclaimed in surprise. In his heart, the middle-aged man harbored great joy when he heard that his daughter was blind.

"You think I lied to you, Gatot? If I were lying, why would I bother lying down in the hospital right now!

" Lisa replied in a harsh manner. She crossed her arms to openly show her dislike for Gatot.

For a moment, Gatot held back his laughter when he heard the confession from his daughter. He rubbed his forehead with a deep sigh.

"Lisa, hahaha... gosh, if you are blind, what will happen to your mother and sister? I thought my life was already bad but apparently, there's still someone who has it worse than me!

" Gatot explained, boasting to Lisa.

The man was currently having a problem with his wife, Veronica. So, like it or not, Gatot had been struggling with his financial situation. That's why Karina had to work as an MLM agent for a shady cosmetics brand in order to support her daily needs after she lost her job.

Gatot chuckled and hoped that Lisa would be blind forever. It seemed that he still had a grudge against Kumala and still hated his two biological daughters, Lisa and Bella. The man couldn't help but feel the happiness welling up from within him when he found out Lisa was blind. He laughed out loud until his loud voice echoed throughout the room.

Lisa looked at her father with a confused look. Gatot's current attitude was very similar to a mentally ill rather than a sane person. She was suspicious of the thoughts in her father's head. Was her father planning an evil plan to get back at Lisa and her little family?

Hearing Gatot's deafening and annoying laugh, Oscar immediately went to the middle-aged man with a thin built and ugly face then shot his fist right on Gatot's nose until the man fell to the floor.

"I said get out of here! You two don't have the right to see Lisa. I don't believe you came with good intentions to apologize and make up with Lisa. Get out of here quickly or I'll beat you up again!

" Oscar snapped in his cold, cruel voice. The man clenched his fist then showed them to Gatot who was still trembling.

Gatot felt his nose very sore, fresh blood dripping directly from behind his nose. The man touched his nose and moaned in pain.

"My nose! You bastard foreigner...!

" He snapped, pressing his bleeding nose.

Seeing her stepfather injured, Karina immediately approached him and helped him to his feet from where he fell.

"Father, let's stand up quickly! We better get out of here and avoid this cruel blue-eyed demon!

"

Gatot and Karina immediately ran away from there, leaving Oscar and Lisa alone in the room.

Oscar stared at the door of the room for a long time, convincing himself that Gatot and Karina really left after they had the nerve to visit them. The man then took a step and his gaze swept around him. He opened the door and looked outside.

Good riddance, Gatot and Karina had disappeared from his sight. Oscar closed the door again and sat beside Lisa, gently stroking her head.

The woman's face looked confused and a little scared. Oscar wiped the tears that suddenly flowed from the corner of Lisa's eyes with the cuff of his jacket.

"It's okay, Lisa, you don't need to be afraid. They will not dare to bother you again as long as I am beside you,

" Oscar said softly, trying to comfort Lisa's messy heart.

"Oscar, what did you just do to Gatot?

" Lisa asked dryly.

"I didn't expect… you would beat him up like that...

"

Hearing Lisa's question just now, Oscar immediately embraced her body and then gently kissed Lisa's cheek.

"I told you, I won't let anyone who dared to hurt you escape. It's my job to protect you, Lisa. I still owe you a lot for all the bad deeds I've ever done,

"

Lisa could not say anything except crying in tears. She hugged Oscar tightly and said,

"Thank you, Oscar!

"

The night arrived, time flew so fast it felt like she had just her lunch a while ago. Lisa fell asleep until the clock showed 7 pm. She woke up with a heavy head. Her eyes were a little blurry for a moment then she looked around. Her gaze swept around the room slowly, then she caught Andien's figure sitting beside her bed reading a fashion magazine.

Lisa got up from her bed, slowly adjusting her sitting posture and then looked at Andien with a surprised look. Since when had her best friend come and stayed beside her? Lisa leaned over and then snapped her fingers in front of Andien's face.

"Ndien, hello! When did you come here?

" Lisa asked curiously. Hearing her snap, Andien immediately woke up from her reverie. The woman put down the fashion magazine she had been awkwardly holding on to the table and said,

"Hi Lis! Thank goodness you woke up. Are you hungry yet? Boss brought you some food!

" Andien replied while handing over the package to Lisa.

"I've been accompanying you here since earlier. When I came home from work, I was told by Oscar to take care of you in the hospital. At first, I was really surprised that you were admitted to the hospital, but luckily your injury wasn't life-threatening so I feel so relieved,

" Andien said as she opened her lunch box. The plump woman then ate the leftovers that she brought from the office.

"Wow, Oscar has been really nice to me. He keeps bringing me good food lately. Today, he brought me a steak,

" when Lisa saw the food Oscar gave her, she paused for a moment. Was she dreaming? Her two eyes could see clearly like they used to now!

Lisa immediately got up from her bed and saw her reflection in the bathroom's mirror with a beaming face. She really couldn't believe what she was seeing at this moment. Her sight had recovered! Lisa immediately ran over to Andien then shook her friend's shoulder and said,

"Ndien! I'm cured! My eyes can see again!

"

How happy Andien was when she heard that her friend had recovered as before. She then hugged Lisa tightly and the two of them screamed with joy like kids who just got candy from their parents. The two of them were jumping for joy.

"Ndien! I can see clearly again! I'm really happy, Ndien!

" Lisa said happily. Her eyes were sparkling.

"Lis! That's amazing! I'm really happy to hear it!

" Andien added, holding Lisa's hands tightly.

"Karma will get her next! You see this Karina!? I'm perfectly healed! But your life's a mess now. My eyes are back like they used to—Ouch! Ouch... my head still hurts, Ndien…

" Lisa was holding the back of her head which was still not completely healed while moaning in pain. She returned to the bed again to lay down herself and turned towards Andien.

"Duh Lisa, you just recovered, don't just move too much. The stitches on the back of your head still hurt. Take a good rest, I'll accompany you until Oscar gets back here,

" Andien said, she was worried about Lisa's health.

"By the way, here are the fruits from Oscar. He immediately gave this to me for you.. Will you eat it? It's crazy that your ex-husband is still nice to you…

" Andien added while handing an apple that Oscar gave to Lisa.
