nSeeing Rangga's name on the call log on Mrs. Rusminah's cell phone made Oscar furious. His face turned bright red. The veins on his forehead became more visible. He wanted to slam the cell phone on the floor so badly. His heart felt like it was going to explode!

nNot far from where Oscar was standing, Clara walked over to him and said,

"Oscar, it looks like your wife is having an affair with that man named Rangga. Haven't you often seen Lisa being escorted home by a man you didn't know before? Could it be Rangga? What if it turned out that your wife was making love to that man while you went on a business trip?

"

nClara really had the talent to pour gasoline to the fire. The man's expression immediately changed drastically. The aura around him suddenly turned grim and terrifying.

nHer plan to instigate Oscar worked. Now, it's time for Clara to launch her next play.

"But anyway, it's lucky that I helped Lisa. If not, her life might be in danger!

" Clara embraced Oscar, showing her fake sympathy.

nThe woman smiled slyly behind that comforting hug. A satisfied and proud expression adorned her beautiful face. She stared at the hospital corridor as she said to herself, 'Good, thanks to this unexpected accident it worked in my favor! Lucky that you fell, Lisa! I hope you fall asleep forever and never wake up!'

nOscar shook off Clara's tight embrace. The man couldn't hold back his anger anymore. His patience was up. If he hadn't heard of Rangga's name, he probably wouldn't have been on fire like this.

nHe gave Clara a cold gaze filled with anger. He turned to face a wall, clenched his fists and hit it hard.

n

"Dammit!

" Oscar shouted loudly.

nThe blow was so hard that it left a gouge on the wall. Blood flowed from his fist.

nClara walked over to Oscar and grabbed his injured hand. She feigned her sympathy as she said,

"Oh my God, Oscar! Your hand is bleeding! I'll call the nurse and ask for a bandage!

"

nOscar shook off the woman's hand, he stared at her with a fierce face.

"Get off me, bastard!

"

nClara was taken aback by his reaction. She never thought Oscar would be this angry. The plan worked one hundred percent! Clara was really good at acting.

n

"Oscar, please don't hurt yourself like this! Your hand is bleeding, it must be treated immediately. I'll get the nurse to bring you bandages and a first aid kit. Please don't turn me down like this, Oscar! I know you are very sad and disappointed by the accident that happened to Lisa. I'm so sad to see you like this...

" Clara said, pretending to cry. She wiped the fake tears she forced out of her eyes in front of Oscar to make him believe her sympathy.

nOscar ignored the woman. He just stayed silent and stood against the wall.

nMrs. Rusminah then approached Oscar and saw his hand bleeding.

n

"Sir, your wound must be treated immediately or it will become infected! You just sit here. Let me and Miss Clara find you bandages.

"

nMrs. Rusminah and Clara split up looking for a nurse to find medicine and a bandage to cover the wound. Oscar was still sitting in the waiting room alone while clutching his bleeding hand.

nNot long after Mrs. Rusminah and Clara went looking for bandages, a nurse came out of the operating room. The woman held a clipboard and paper reports. With a loud voice the nurse said,

"Is there any Lisa Soewandi's family?

"

nOscar immediately got up from the chair and raised his finger. The man approached the nurse hastily.

"Nurse, how is my wife? Is she okay? What about the baby?

"

n

"Wait, you're the husband and the father?

" The nurse asked before answering Oscar's question.

n

"I am her husband. Oscar Petersson. Just write it as Oscar.

"

nThe nurse handed over a paper report and a pen for Oscar to sign. The man trembled in his signature. His hands were still not bandaged.

n

"For your wife's condition, calm down, no need to worry. We've done our best to save her. It's just that your wife's condition is critical. The problem is, your wife's blood type is very rare and the hospital is currently out of stock. Please be patient, we will do our best to find donors with the same blood type as your wife.

"

nOscar nodded at the nurse's explanation. He was still worried, but at least he could feel a little relieved after hearing that Lisa could be saved.

n

"Sir, if you need a bandage, there's a first aid kit at the end of this hallway,

" the nurse said when she saw Oscar's bleeding hand. She then returned to the operating room.

nClara arrived with bandages for Oscar. The woman approached Oscar while holding the man's injured hand. However, Oscar shook off Clara's hand. He grabbed the bandage Clara was holding and treated his wound by himself.

n

"Oscar, you don't have to worry about Lisa. She will be fine, I'm sure of that!

" Clara lied while patting the man's shoulder.

nOscar winced. He didn't want to be touched by Clara.

n

"You used to bother her and even embarrass her in front of all employees in my office. Now you are suddenly sympathetic and kind to her? Don't lie to me, Clara! I know what you want!

" Oscar snapped.

n

"Oscar, I know you're still angry with me. Five years ago, our relationship was ruined because of your mother. I want to make up for all my mistakes, Oscar! All the wealth and cash you have given me recently is not enough to make amends for me! I want us to return to the way we used to be.

"

n

"Mama told me to leave you because you are a bad woman, Clara! You're beautiful but you have an ugly heart!

"

n

"But Oscar, I still love you! I want to go back to how we used to be! Please believe me!

"

n

"Go away, Clara! I don't want to see your face,

" Oscar snapped until his voice echoed through the hallways.

"I don't want to see you again! Remember that you are nothing but a replacement to satisfy my desire while Lisa is pregnant! I can't possibly make love to my wife when she is pregnant, I care about her health!

"

n

"So, those nights together... All this time... These diamond earrings and the money you gave me… It's all because of that?

"

n

"Yes, Clara! You are nothing more than a whore I bought to relieve myself!

"

n

"But you said that you loved me at that time. Why are you doing this to me now, Oscar?

"

n

"I said that just so you wouldn't get offended. You think I love a cheap woman who only went after my money like you?

"

nOscar's last sentence really hurt Clara's ears and heart. Five years ago, their relationship was damaged for some reason. Now Clara returned to make up for her past mistakes and hoped that Oscar would fall in love and marry her. But all her attempts to win Oscar's heart back were in vain.

n

"Oscar, why do you have the heart to....

" She couldn't hold the pain she felt and cried. Tears rolled down Clara's red cheeks.

n

"Listen to me Clara, I don't want to see you. I don't need you here. I only bought you for some nights to satisfy my needs!

" Oscar exclaimed sharply.

n

"Get out of my sight!

"

nClara was very disappointed. Her plan to go back with Oscar failed. She didn't want to leave Oscar in the hospital in this downturn. But she had to go. She didn't want to make him even angrier.
