Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 339 - Coincidence

Lisa sat in the waiting room not far from room 102. She was pondering the whole time thinking about what steps to take next if she decided to give birth. Regardless, Lisa was still the mother of this baby, and all decisions whether it should be born or not were up to her.

She cleared her foggy mind by folding the report about her pregnancy just now. Lisa had to hide this fact from Kumala for a while so that her mother would not get more anxious and angry because she was pregnant outside of marriage.

After contemplating for a long time in the waiting room, Lisa returned to room 102. She wiped Kumala's face, which still looked white. The middle-aged woman had yet to wake up. Seeing the sad look on Kumala's face made her tears start to pool on the corners of her eyes. She couldn't hold back, her chest felt like it was about to burst.

While touching Kumala's cold palms, Lisa said, "Mom, don't worry. I am here to help you. Don't worry about your medical expenses, let me take care of everything. The important thing is that you can recover quickly."

Lisa kissed Kumala's forehead which was no less cold than her palm. She pulled her blanket over the middle-aged woman's chest and then came out of room 102.

Not long after, she accidentally bumped into a nurse and called her. "Excuse me, can you please look after my mother in room 102? I want to go out for a moment,"

"No problem, it has become our job," the nurse replied.

Lisa came out of the hospital building to find a nearby ATM. She took out all the remaining of her savings, which turned out to be insufficient to pay for her mother's medical and hospitalization fees! Lisa then took all the budget she'd arranged for her daily needs, starting from money for transport, emergency money stored on debit cards of other banks, and yet all the amounts were still insufficient.

Lisa sat on a bench nearby, staring blankly at the twilight sky. She almost lost hope— even if she sold herself to a perverted man on the side of the road, it was still not enough to pay for Kumala's medical expenses.

Lisa was confused about who else to ask for help. Currently, the only people who could and were willing to lend money were Andien and Dimas. But Lisa was self-conscious, both of them were just as mediocre as her. Then she remembered Rangga, but she did not want to ask for help from the man again. 

Even though Rangga was already established with an abundance of money and that she was sure that the man would give her without thinking, Lisa still didn't want to beg him. Her bad experience with Rangga in the past made her embarrassed if she had to borrow money from him. No, Lisa didn't want to hurt her pride by borrowing money from Rangga.

Lisa returned to the hospital again, crossing the corridor that connected the lobby with a row of rooms. Accidentally, she found the figure of a familiar man walking towards her, with another burly man walking behind following him.

She recognized those golden curls and the casual clothes that the man was wearing. Long sleeve black t-shirt with gray jeans and brown boots. 

His face was so handsome and charming like a model. The expression on his face did not change— cold and piercing like an iceberg.

Oscar Petersson looked tired as if he had not slept two days in a row. His eye bags looked so dark. His cheekbones stood out even more because of his thin cheeks. It must be that he didn't eat much lately, Lisa thought.

When he walked past her, he did not turn to Lisa at all. Maybe the man didn't recognize Lisa's new look.

Then she wondered, what was that man doing in the hospital? Why did she have to meet her ex-husband again?

Without realizing it, her mind immediately returned to the old memory when she first met Oscar. A meeting without love that ended in love. Then Lisa started to realize, she couldn't lie to her feelings anymore. She still loved Oscar and she could not forget the man from her mind.

'Damn it! You have to move on! You can't keep telling your heart to love a guy who has hurt you in the past and made you suffer! Oscar isn't worth it anymore!' Her common sense told her.

Until now, Lisa still hadn't forgotten Oscar. She wouldn't be able to forget that golden haired man forever. No matter how much that man had hurt her that she suffered all her life, she couldn't let go of her love for Oscar. 

It would never be easy for her!

She knew that Oscar was not worth fighting for anymore, especially with what the man had just done to her. But Lisa seemed fascinated by the spell that that damn white man cast upon her. She was even willing to move to Bekasi to start a new life and change her physical appearance.

Meanwhile in the lobby, Oscar called Dani and whispered, "Please check why Lisa came here."

In return, Dani nodded. "Yes, sir!"

Oscar turned his head back, looking for the woman's figure who seemed to have disappeared from sight. Actually, the man knew Lisa was in the hospital, but he chose to pretend he didn't.

Oscar returned to his car and sat in the passenger seat. While he was waiting for Dani to bring him information about Lisa, the man crossed his two legs while staring at the evening sky.

Back in room 102, Lisa found her mother had awakened from her deep sleep. She was very happy and hugged Kumala without waiting.

"Lisa, why am I in this terrible place again? I don't want to stay in the hospital. I want to go home! Hurry up and take care of all my documents so we can go home right away!" Kumala said, begging her daughter to do whatever she wanted.

"Mom, you passed out at home this afternoon. Mrs. Lastri brought you here. Don't worry, the doctor said you should get plenty of rest. When your condition is getting better, the doctor will definitely let you go home," Lisa explained, trying to maintain her patience.

"I've never skipped any of my hemodialysis schedule in this damned place! Why did I faint suddenly?" Her mother asked with a confused face.

"Mom," Lisa said, comforting her mother who looked panicked, "the doctor said you were too tired. You must be working too hard taking care of the house. Please, for the sake of your health, don't tire yourself too much. If me or Bella isn't not at home, you can just ask the neighbors for help," she continued worriedly.

"Am I really that old? Is this body no longer useful? I swear I was just doing the laundry. Why did I—" Not finished with the sentence, Lisa immediately interrupted Kumala's words.

"Mom! I bought some food earlier. You must be hungry from sleeping all day.. Come on, eat it while it's still warm."
