Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 93 - Going Home

As Andien promised yesterday, she would take the time to visit her best friend at the hospital after work. Keeping Lisa company and having a small chat with her at least could ease her friend's burden.

Today, Andien brought Lisa's favorite cake. "Lisa! I brought you your favorite cake,"

Andien put the cake box on the bed and opened the lid. It was a Red Velvet cake with white cream adorning its rim. Lisa stared at the cake with sparkling eyes. Every now and then she swallowed her saliva at the sight of the delicious-looking cake.

"Lis, you can eat this but don't eat too much, alright? Your doctor will scold me later," Andien said, handing a piece of cake to Lisa.

"Yeah, fine. I already know I had an accident too!"

"I bought it because I want you to be happy, hehe."

Lisa scooped the cake and tasted it. "Damn! this cake is really delicious! It's crazy! Where did you buy this?"

"I know right? But why do you want to know, Lis?"

"Ugh, I know you must have bought it from the Soklat Kitchen, right?"

"Yeah, you're right. By the way, Lis. What do you want to do after you get discharged from the hospital?" Andien asked curiously.

"I don't know, Ndien. I haven't thought about it. I haven't finished the case with my husband and Clara. I swear, I don't understand what else I have to do. I want a divorce, but I lost my child. Why am I so upset?" Lisa explained.

"Why are you so upset? Isn't your husband proven to be cheating with his ex-girlfriend?"

"That's it, Ndien! I don't have any strong evidence! Indeed, before I entered the hospital, 2 days ago, that bastard Clara came to me at my house and told me that my husband was really cheating on me with her."

"Lis, you have to be careful and don't trust everything coming out from Clara's mouth. It's possible that she deliberately lied to you to make you divorce your husband so she could finally marry him. How about it, Lis?"

Andien's words had some truth. Lisa then considered her friend's words for a moment.

"But my hunch says otherwise Ndien! I have to have a new, stronger evidence to make sure that my husband is really cheating on me!" Lisa's voice rose a little. "Should I just run away from my husband's house? Do I need to go back to my mother's house quietly while looking for a new job?"

"Lis, you are still the wife of the boss, you know. There's no way you can just run away from your husband, right? It's really bad, Lis! Please solve your problem with your husband first! Have a conversation with him,"

Hearing that, Lisa lowered her head. Her eyes were fixed on the ends of her feet which were covered in a blanket. Every now and then she moved her toes while she racked her brain to find a solution.

"I think after I get out of here. I want to take care of my divorce, Ndien. I don't know but I suddenly feel that my marriage to Oscar had failed from a long time ago," Lisa sighed. "Do you still remember the reason Oscar married me? It wasn't because of love, Ndien! I know, I didn't love him either at first, but the day I began to open up my heart to him, he turned distant and walked away. If it weren't for that bastard Clara, my fight with Oscar wouldn't be this fierce."

"Well, don't be pessimistic just yet, but it's all up to you, Lis. I don't know anything about your personal life with your husband so I don't have the right to tell you to divorce or not, right? I'll just help with advice, Lis," Andien slowly brought her face closer to Lisa.

Their eyes locked when Andien said, "Look for stronger evidence first, Lis. Who knows if Clara is setting you up."

Again, Lisa considered her best friend's suggestion. If she thought about it, the beautiful-faced demon named Clara indeed was good at manipulating someone into doing what she wanted.

Moreover, the demonic woman had a beautiful and charming appearance to the point that no man could resist her charm. Clara was even able to bewitch Oscar so that the man was seduced by her.

Lisa had lost her hopes for Oscar. She chose to leave her husband rather than continue to live with him and deal with Clara's bullshit. If Oscar was proven to be having an affair with Clara and that man loved that demonic woman more than Lisa, then she would not hesitate to divorce her husband.

"Okay, I will consider your suggestion, Ndien. You need to be careful with Clara in the office."

"So that's it! This is the Lisa I know!"

The clock showed 10 at night. Time passed so quickly when the two women chatted at length in the hospital room. It was already time for Andien to go home.

Andien did not want to go home too late because taxis were very difficult to find past 10 pm. The woman cleared her belongings and said goodbye to Lisa.

Now Lisa was alone again in the room. No one accompanied her. It had been almost a week since she was hospitalized, but Oscar didn't see her at all. Lisa regretted that she said harsh words and kicked her husband out a few days ago.

Lisa couldn't sleep well throughout the night. Her head was filled with thoughts of divorce, Clara and Oscar.

The next day, the doctor examined Lisa and told her she could go home today. The cold and dark nights that had been choking her sleep finally ended! Lisa was really relieved to hear the good news from the doctor.

That afternoon, Lisa was also discharged from the hospital. In the morning, Lisa dreamed that Oscar would come and pick her up on her last day at the hospital.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Lisa opened the door and saw a burly man with a grim face standing in front of her.

"Mr. Dani? Why are you here? Where did Oscar go?" Lisa asked, surprised to see the giant man picking her up alone.

"Mr. Oscar is on a business trip again, so he ordered me to pick you up. Come on, miss, I will help bring your things."

Mr. Dani helped Lisa carry her luggage. The woman then packed some food that Andien had given her the night before and put on her jacket before walking out of the damned room.

When Lisa walked down the cold and silent corridor, Andien came over to her. "Lisa! Thank God I came early. I was just about to visit you, Lis,"

"What are you doing here? Are you not working today?"Lisa asked. She was surprised to see her friend.

"I'm taking time off Lis, to pick you up hehe."

"Hey, you don't have to bother to do that, Ndien."

"Seriously, I want to pick you up, Lis. I'm your friend, how come I can leave you like that?"

"Hehe, thanks a lot, Ndien. Actually, Mr. Dani wants to take me back to Oscar's house, but if you want to hitchhike then come on!"

"Alright!"

Arriving at Oscar's residence, Lisa told Andien to sit in the living room while she looked for Mrs. Rusminah.

Lisa remembered that Oscar still had her cell phone with him so she couldn't help but borrow Mrs. Rusminah's cellphone to make calls.

"Mrs. Rusminah, does Oscar still have my cell phone?"

"I think so. If you want to make a call, please just use mine," the middle-aged woman said, holding out her cellphone.

Lisa grabbed the cellphone and made a call. It was the first time she made a call to her mother after months not contacting her.

"Hello, who is this?" A middle-aged woman asked from across the line.
