Chapter 605 - Looking For The Prince

Two weeks later, after Oscar had gone through therapy after therapy, the man was able to walk upright. The next day when the doctor came to check his condition, he allowed him to go home.

Right on that day, Lisa took the day off to take care of Oscar.

"Wait here a moment, let me take care of the paperwork." Lisa ordered as she put her tote bag off the table. Without waiting for Oscar's reply, the woman walked out of the room.

Oscar frowned, "Your bag?"

"No, just stay here." Lisa's reply was short.

Over the past week, Oscar had been able to walk without being held. His chest doesn't hurt too much. Actually, he can do everything himself, including taking care of the paperwork.

Even if Lisa didn't come, Oscar could finish them alone.

But he certainly wouldn't miss a golden opportunity to be pampered by her. So when he heard Lisa's order to stay in the room, the man sat back on the patient's bed with pleasure.

His heart was warm and flowery.

Oscar sat on the patient bed, waiting for Lisa's return. When he turned to the right, about to see the clock on the wall, he accidentally saw her tote bag which was slightly open.

Oscar saw the medicine bottle and the receipt at the pharmacy.

He immediately remembered Lisa's recent condition. As Oscar recalled, the woman looked fine. She doesn't look sick or tired.

Oscar really doesn't like to pry into other people's privacy, because he doesn't like it when his privacy is breached. But seeing the bottle of medicine, his curiosity immediately soared.

Slowly but surely, Oscar reached out his hand and took the medicine bottle as well as the receipt. The purchase date of the drug was the date before he had surgery.

And Oscar knew the brand of the drug very well. Sleeping pills are usually used if the person is allergic to something.

Was Lisa planning to… 

Oscar couldn't bear to continue the question. His heart instantly felt heavy. 

Before Lisa returned to the room, Oscar put the medicine and receipt back into Lisa's bag. If his heart had felt warm and flowery before, now it felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

"The paperwork has been completed. Let's go home." 

Hearing Lisa's voice at the end of the door, Oscar quickly changed his expression. The man got up from the bed and followed her from behind to get out of the room.

Dani was already waiting for them in the hospital lobby when they both walked out. Perhaps since the man was so excited to see Oscar walking on his own, Dani immediately walked up to them with a big smile.

"Good afternoon Mr. Oscar, Miss Lisa!" Dani took over Oscar's bag that Lisa had brought, "Come, I'll take you back to the house."

After Lisa and Oscar sat in the passenger seat, the car was quiet. If the radio is not turned on, the car will probably be completely silent. 

Lisa fell asleep in the passenger seat, while Oscar was busy working on something on his laptop. Since it was noon today, he decided not to go to the office. He decided to rest for a while and then go to work tomorrow.

Arriving around the housing, the man told Dani to stop quite far from the house. Then Lisa and Oscar got out of the car and walked in silence.

Oscar's bag, his laptop, and his other belongings were left in the car. So the two of them are just walking without having to think about their luggage.

A gust of cold wind gently caressed Lisa's hair and fingers. Just as the woman was about to hide her cold hands in the pockets of her pants, Lisa felt Oscar tugging on her hand.

Then, her cold hand was grasped and tucked into the man's coat pocket.

"Lisa," Oscar began slowly, breaking the silence between them. "When I had an accident and had to have surgery, how did you feel?"

"What do you mean?"

"How did you feel when I had to undergo surgery that was said to be high-risk? If the operation was unsuccessful and I had to lose my life because of it, what would you do?" Oscar asked casually.

He tried hard to make his voice sound normal, even though his mind and heart were a mess. 

During the trip back home, Oscar was busy with his work, but his mind was filled with the medicine bottle in Lisa's bag.

Hearing Oscar's sudden question made Lisa frown. Why did he suddenly ask her such a question?

Lisa sighed softly from her lips, "If you die, what can I do then? Don't think I'll be sad until I cry. At least I'll find a handsome prince and ask him to marry me."

After saying that, Lisa turned her head and showed a wide smile. The woman's eyebrows rose and fell several times.

Like a mirror, Oscar smiled broadly at her face. The man tightened his grip on her hand and continued walking.

Lisa didn't give the man the answer he was hoping for. But even so, Oscar knew what the real answer was. 

But it was better that Oscar didn't listen to it, otherwise he would feel even more guilty and panicked later.

"Why are you suddenly asking me that? Do you want to die now?" Lisa asked in a tone that sounded seductive. 

Oscar shook his head, "No. I was just curious."

Arriving at his house, Dani had arrived first because he used a car. Oscar's bag and other belongings were neatly placed in the center of the room.

Mrs. Rusminah had already prepared two cups of warm tea and some small cakes. It's a shame to have to go home without tasting it all, but Lisa still has to finish her work.

Just like Oscar, even though Lisa isn't in the office, it doesn't mean she isn't working. She still had to work, sitting in front of a laptop screen all day long at home.

"Sorry, but I'm going home first. I still have a lot of work, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it before I go to work tomorrow." Lisa said as she fiddled with the zipper of her tote bag.

Oscar cleared his throat, "It's okay. Thank you for helping me all this time."

Lisa got up from the sofa and walked towards the exit, followed by Oscar from behind. 

"If your stitches still hurt, call me right away. Let me come and take you to the hospital."

"Yes." Oscar's reply was short.. "I'll definitely call you."
