Chapter 205 - Breakfast Together

Early morning, Lisa was awakened by sunlight entering her room. She got up and sat on the end of her bed. Her eyes swept around her room, and although it was still blurry, she didn't find Oscar anywhere near that morning. She thought the man might have returned to his house or already went to his office.

Her mind was a little hazy, a flashback of last night's event came back to her memory. She could vividly remember the man fell asleep beside her. She also remembered when her hand was unconsciously stroking Oscar's golden curls gently. 

That hair, the hair of her ex-husband who used to color her life… 

Unfortunately, they were both divorced. If it weren't for Clara, maybe Lisa was still with Oscar now.

Lisa got out of bed, she washed her half sleepy face with water in the sink in the hope that her sleepiness would disappear and her mind would be refreshed after last night's incident. She reached for a comb and brushed her messy hair. Even though she still couldn't clearly see her reflection in the mirror, Lisa could feel that her hair was neat enough.

Then she turned around, and stared at her room's door hoping someone would come to see her today. She still missed Rangga, who was kicked out by her ex-husband. How could Oscar throw Rangga away just because he was jealous of Lisa's childhood friend? Recalling that event made Lisa's mind even more foggy. She shook her head to distract herself from last night's event.

The man, Oscar Petersson, was the only child of Peter Petersson, the owner of the multinational communication company— Petersson Communications. She still couldn't believe that this man of European blood was her ex-husband. How could this man who came from a completely different world come to Lisa's chaotic life, away from anything glamorous?

A flash of memories from her past returned to Lisa's foggy mind. For some reason, she could not forget the figure of that blonde haired man with a tall build like a model ever since she was divorced from him. Though the man had hurt her both physically and mentally several times, in the end, Lisa still couldn't really move on.

Lisa felt that she was crazy. She couldn't forget a bastard like Oscar and instead hoped that one day she could get back with him. Oh no, her thoughts started to mess up again. Lisa patted her forehead several times and slapped her cheeks to quickly wake herself from her senseless fantasy.

"Lis! Remember, you're independent and you don't need Oscar. You don't need to marry a guy because of his wallet!" She said to herself while staring at the blurry scenery from behind her bedroom's window.

It was eight in the morning, but there was no sign of a nurse carrying a food trolley into her room. Lisa could feel her stomach start rumbling, she had to have her breakfast soon or her body would be trembling and limp.

Not long after, Lisa heard the creak of the door being opened. It must be the nurse who brought the breakfast, she thought. But there was something odd. She did not hear the sound of the trolley wheels at all, and instead, she heard the sound of a steady, heavy stomp.

Lisa turned from the window and looked at the tall, lanky figure she recognized. The man was carrying a grocery bag filled with food. She could not clearly see the look on the man's face but she was sure that the man was not smiling at all.

"Lisa, I brought you snapper porridge from a Chinese restaurant nearby. Eat this," Oscar said in his deep, sexy voice. The man went over to the table by Lisa's bed and put down the bag.

The delicious aroma of the snapper porridge immediately filled the room. Lisa smelled the savory and appetizing aroma that tickled her taste buds to immediately taste the food. Lisa swallowed hard, her stomach was rumbling even more. She must eat immediately.

The woman sat back down on the bed, careful enough not to trip over the leg of the table. Then she faced Oscar who was unwrapping the porridge and pouring it into the bowl.

"How are your eyes, Lisa? Are you starting to see more clearly?" Oscar asked, placing the spoon in the bowl. The man moved closer to Lisa and started feeding the woman.

"Not yet," Lisa answered shortly. The woman turned her head at Oscar, opened her mouth and swallowed the food. "This porridge is so delicious! It's crazy, I haven't eaten like this for a long time," Lisa said spontaneously after she swallowed.

"Who said that she didn't want to eat the food I gave her yesterday?" Oscar asked sarcastically.

Lisa pushed the man's shoulder in annoyance. "Don't bring it up again! I already want to eat!"

Lisa pulled the porridge bowl and ate it herself. This morning, Oscar was being very sweet to her. Even though Lisa knew that the expression on this man's face must still be the same cold and flat as usual, his effort to bring her food for breakfast actually flattered her.

Lisa could hear Oscar rising from his chair and then pulling a plate from the cupboard in the VIP room. The man put the food on the plate and began to slowly cut it. 

The fragrant scent of meat immediately penetrated Lisa's sense of smell. The smell of an expensive steak that she once tested when she was still married and lived at Oscar's house. How she had missed Oscar's chef-made steak. She was still scooping out the porridge and swallowing fast. 

"This scent, I still remember the taste..." Lisa said spontaneously to Oscar.

The man smiled, he cut the meat on the plate then chewed it slowly. "But what I bring now is not made by the chef who used to work at my house. This is mine," Oscar replied, cutting the meat on the plate.

The man's voice sounded deep and sexy as ever but at the same time soft and sweet. Never before had Lisa heard Oscar's voice so soft and sweet when she lived with him.

She put the bowl of porridge that she had finished on the table and Oscar helped her wipe the remains that were left on the corner of Lisa's lips. The man rubbed her lips softly and affectionately, as if Lisa was his wife. Lisa's heart immediately started beating very fast as she was feeling Oscar's gentle sweep.

A few moments later, someone knocked on the door of the room and then walked in. His footsteps sounded so heavy, so Lisa thought that it must be a man. The man walked over to Oscar and put down a suitcase. Lisa could see the shadow of his figure but she could not clearly know who the tall, burly man was.

"Mr. Oscar, I have brought everything you asked for. Laptops, documents, some stationery, and modems if the wifi in this hospital doesn't work," Dani said firmly.

"Fine, thank you very much Mr. Dani. You can go back to the office," Oscar replied, pointing his index finger. The tall and burly man immediately left.

"Oscar," Lisa said suddenly. "You don't plan to wait for me here while working, do you?" The woman's voice sounded doubtful.

"I've told you many times, right? I will accompany you until your vision is restored," Oscar replied as he opened his laptop and began typing.

Hearing Oscar's words made Lisa speechless and didn't want to ask any further questions. She took a deep breath before her thoughts finally fell into chaos again. "Oscar, you didn't tell my mother that I had an accident, right?" Lisa suddenly asked.

"No, you don't have to worry. I know that if I told your mother about your current situation, she would have been more worried," Oscar replied briefly.

Lisa cleared her throat in return.

"By the way, what do you want to do with Karina?" Oscar suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Lisa asked back, confused by Oscar's question.

"I heard she ran away, right? What do you want me to do with her?"

Lisa's memory returned to the incident where Karina suddenly came to her office and pushed her until she hit the aquarium that made her eyes temporarily blind. Lisa's anger started to flare up when she recalled the incident, her breath was fast and her hands were clenched into fists.

"I want that bitch in jail forever!"
