Chapter 249 - Misconception

"This is all my fault, Oscar. I purposely came to bother her and make her angry so Lisa beat me..." 

The sentence came out of Clara's mouth with the hope that she could steal Oscar's sympathy and make him pity her, along with reclaiming her long lost love. However, her plan to win over Oscar's sympathy failed.

"Oh, I see." 

The short, flat reply left Clara shocked to death. The man's response was completely beyond her expectation. Unexpectedly, the man had no sympathy with her somewhat dramatized explanation.

"I'm sorry Oscar dear, this is all my fault... I beg you not to scold Lisa because of me... Please..." Clara added pitifully.

"Really?" Oscar replied dryly and coldly. "If this is your fault, you should apologize to Lisa!"

His sentence just now took Clara by surprise. She was silent for a moment as she frowned. "Oscar, what did you say just now?"

"Didn't you say earlier that you were wrong to make Lisa angry? So what are you waiting for? Go and apologize to Lisa!" Oscar stared at her with a cold and sharp gaze as if Clara was caught doing her crimes.

Clara couldn't move her lips. She did not think that this man would defend Lisa more than her. The phrase 'Go and apologize to Lisa' made her whole body shudder. She was too proud to apologize to a lowly woman like Lisa. But she couldn't help it, she had to do it to get Oscar's sympathy and love. She moved her lips and said stuttering, "I... I... I'm sorry Oscar..."

Oscar ignored Clara's words. He looked at the demonic woman with a flat and cold gaze. "You should apologize to Lisa, not to me!" His voice sounded sharp even though it was low.

Clara couldn't believe her own ears. It was as if a gush of wind was coming into the right ear and then coming out from the left. Oscar told her to apologize to a lowly woman like Lisa? Was he serious?

Clara gave Oscar a look filled with disgust and condescension. She frowned as she pursed her lips like someone chewing tamarind and said, "Oscar, you're kidding, right?"

"No, I'm not kidding. I mean it. Don't think I don't know your tricks, Clara. You deliberately lowered yourself so that I sympathized with you, right? Don't try to overstep your boundaries, Clara. Everything has limits! Remember, our relationship ended 5 years ago. I don't want to see you again after this!" Oscar's expression was flat but the glint in his eyes flashed with disgust.

His wide palm that Clara had been holding tightly was immediately pulled away. The man dodged the demonic woman's embrace while looking at her with a cold gaze. From behind the curtain that covered half of Clara's bed, Lisa looked at Oscar, who suddenly dodged Clara's embrace. Lisa smiled in relief, the man kept his promise.

"Oscar, don't leave me... Let me hug you and hold your hand... My chest hurts so much... please, accompany me here for a moment..."

Clara looked at Oscar with pitiful eyes. Her pale face made her look even more pathetic. Oscar couldn't bear to leave Clara alone in the emergency room with this condition, but he also didn't want to make Lisa jealous. After all, their relationship had ended 5 years ago, so why did he need to linger with Clara?

"Let me go, Clara, don't act spoiled and childish like this!" Oscar said firmly and earnestly. "I love Lisa now!"

Without saying much, Clara immediately leaned over and stole a kiss from Oscar while the man was off guard.

Lisa witnessed the most painful event, she saw Oscar and Clara kissing!

From a distance, Oscar tried to dodge Clara's embrace but the woman kept on hugging him tighter. He could have pushed Clara but it was very risky, he didn't want to injure her. The man didn't want to make things worse so he couldn't help but rack his brains to get out of Clara's grip.

"Clara, stop this madness! We won't get back together like we used to!" Oscar snapped. His voice was so jarring that it caught the attention of other patients.

Clara didn't want to just let Oscar go, she would do anything to get her old lover back. "This is the beginning of our long-broken relationship, Oscar! I want us to start over. Do you remember when we were studying in Sweden? When you always accompanied me in my apartment and made love to me all day long during winter? Do you still remember when you were sick and I always cooked you soup and vice versa?"

"You think you can take my heart again by doing this? Don't be stupid, Clara, we're done!" Oscar snapped.

"Oscar, you are so cruel! How can you give up our 5 years relationship for the sake of a woman like whom you have just met for less than a year!?" Clara replied, starting to shed her crocodile tears.

From behind the curtain, Lisa could not see Oscar and Clara fighting. She ran away from the ER and hit one of the nurses who was passing by. Hearing the startled nurse's voice made Oscar turn his gaze to Lisa who was walking out of the emergency room with a grim face.

Oscar immediately pushed Clara's body until the woman collapsed on the bed. Clara bursted into tears, not expecting her ex-lover to do something so cruel according to her. "Oscar! Why do you have the heart to do this to me? How could Lisa be better than me!?"

Oscar didn't even pay attention to Clara's words. The man ran after Lisa down the corridor. Until finally the two lovebirds met at a busy hallway.

He immediately grabbed Lisa's arm and pulled her away.

"Lisa! Lisa! Wait for me! Don't go, you misunderstood it! Clara and I…" Not finished with the sentence, the man was immediately slapped by Lisa and didn't budge for a long time.

"Oscar, I told you and you promised me. You're not going to talk to Clara anymore, you promised me that right? Look what you were doing in the ER!" Lisa shouted with disappointment. Her eyes started to water.

"Lisa, listen to me first! You ordered me to accompany Clara yourself, right? Second, it was Clara who suddenly pulled me, I tried to dodge her but since I know I am much stronger than her, I can't possibly push her right?" Oscar explained bluntly.

"Oscar…" Lisa muttered softly, her tears began to fall from the corner of her eyes, "I felt low when Clara hugged and kissed you in the emergency room just now. I feel like I don't deserve to be your lover, let alone your wife," she continued, her face looked even sadder.

Seeing Lisa's face, which looked very sad and disappointed, Oscar could feel his heart like it was being torn apart. The man approached her slowly, his big and long arms were wrapped around her body and brought her closer to him. Lisa could hear Oscar's heart beating very fast. 

Oscar gently stroked Lisa's head, playing with her silky hair. He then lowered his head and kissed Lisa's forehead. The man lifted her face so he could see her clearly. Their eyes met each other, and both radiated love for each other.

"Lisa, listen to me..." Oscar said softly. "Looks like there is a misunderstanding between us.. Me and Clara are not in love anymore. Trust me, do you understand?"
