Chapter 724 - Oscar's Weird Attitude

"What the hell are you saying?" Oscar asked while holding Lisa's wrist, "Earlier Mrs. Rusminah said that the food would be ready in half an hour. If you want, you can rest in your room first, I'll call you later."

Again, Lisa was surprised by Oscar's reply. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the man kiss the back of her hand. For some reason, Oscar always made an effort to show how romantic he was recently.

But before Lisa could react and give him more questions, Oscar had already walked past her. The man turned on the TV in the living room and sat on the sofa. It wasn't long before the voices of newsreaders began to be heard from a distance.

Instead of having to be in the same room with Oscar and getting confused by the man's attitude, Lisa chose to follow his advice. The woman hurried up the stairs and into the master bedroom.

As Oscar had said earlier, the man opened the door to the main room when Mrs. Rusminah's food was ready. He sweetly invited Lisa to come down and enjoy dinner with him. Hugging the woman's slender waist, the two of them descended the stairs side by side.

Lisa wasn't the only one who felt embarrassed by Oscar's attitude. Mrs. Rusminah also looked away and pretended to be busy washing the clean dishes when she saw the man and Lisa walking into the dining room.

She knew that Oscar and Lisa had fixed their relationship. The maid also knows that they both still love each other. It's just that, as she recalled, the two of them had never been so open about showing their affection in public!

"It's okay," Lisa said when Oscar wanted to open a chair for her. She already felt it was quite strange and funny to be treated by him this sweetly, "I can do it myself."

During dinner, Oscar did not remain silent as usual. Usually, if the two of them eat, there are not many topics of conversation that are present in their midst. Because the man was too quiet and Lisa was feeling tired, all she could hear was the sound of spoons and forks hitting the bottom of the bowl.

This time, the man turned into romantic and sweet, literally a persona Lisa had never met before. Oscar always tries to open up topics of conversation that are not related to their work. Lisa felt like they were having dinner on their first date. The little questions that the man threw at her made her amused and warm.

After dinner, Oscar got up from the chair and rushed to prepare hot tea for Lisa. The man did not forget to peel oranges for her. 

Lisa was really confused by Oscar's current attitude. What really happened to that man? Did his head accidentally hit the door or something hard?

Oscar, the CEO of a large company in Indonesia, makes her hot tea and peels oranges for her? 

What happened?

Of course Lisa didn't ask that question out loud. She had made sure the man's body temperature didn't rise drastically. Finally, she could only sit on the sofa while enjoying the hot tea which tasted, to be honest, very - very sweet.

Because of the sweetness, Lisa even planned to stop by the pharmacy tomorrow and buy blood sugar medicine.

"I'll take a shower first." Lisa said after she finished her tea. Apart from her body feeling itchy and sticky, she couldn't stand being alone with Oscar in the same room. 

Oscar, who was enjoying oranges while putting his feet on the table, was surprised to see Lisa who wanted to quickly leave from next to him. Like a man who had lost his way, Oscar lowered his legs and looked at Lisa's back with a sad look.

What should he do for Lisa now?

Earlier he had tried brewing hot tea and peeling orange peels. But why does Lisa look uncomfortable and wants to get away from him? Was there something wrong with what he did?

Oscar cleaned his hands on his pants then said, "I'm coming with you, okay? Let me help you clean your back."

"No need!" Lisa replied quickly without thinking first.

But soon enough, she put on a face like a frightened person. She was afraid that Oscar would get angry again and give her another punishment. But fortunately, when she turned her head, the woman saw that Oscar had a big smile on his face.

Looks like the man's head really hit something hard.

Lisa blinked her eyes, blinked again, and waited for Oscar's reaction. But the man still sat quietly looking at her with a big smile. A strange feeling and worry filled her heart when she saw the man's strange attitude. She thought, if Oscar kept acting weird like this, she would force him to go to the hospital tomorrow morning.

"I- ah," Seeing Oscar's sweet demeanor made Lisa feel very strange. She stroked the back of her neck and continued, "You don't have to do that. I can do it myself."

Without waiting for Oscar's reply, Lisa quickly climbed the stairs and left the man alone. Whether they've fixed their relationship, or even remarried someday, Lisa won't let him clean her back!

"Oscar is seriously ill..." Lisa whispered to herself in the quiet room.

She sighed and insisted on taking Oscar to the hospital tomorrow. If the man's head hit something hard, why wasn't there a lump? Could it be that what she imagined was true? Did the man have a serious illness and these were his last days with her?

No!

Don't let that happen!

Instead of dying of curiosity, she was finally determined to take Oscar to the hospital. But before that, she had to prepare herself to know what she shouldn't know. Whatever happened, she and William had to be strong. If there is something wrong with this man, Lisa must be able to support her life as well as William's!

Just as her eyes were red and hot, she heard her phone vibrate. Without realizing it, tears started flowing down her cheeks when she saw William's name on the screen of her cellphone.

"Mama—"

"Dear William, listen to me," Lisa interrupted in a trembling voice, "No matter what happens, we have to be strong. Don't let anything that can make us separate and broken.. You have me, and I have you. We both have to be strong!"
