Chapter 484 - Worried

The sky had turned dark when Lisa arrived at Vira's apartment. At first, the woman had planned to stay in her room, doing nothing. But when she was in a taxi, without realizing it, her lips mentioned the name of one of the malls. And so, that resulted in Lisa walking around the building.

Lisa took off the high heels she was wearing and stroked her sore feet. It was already half past nine when the woman saw the high heels that Vira usually wore lying in front of the entrance. 

"Vir, are you home yet?"

The woman walked deeper into Vira's apartment and did not see her friend. She turned her head, looked at the kitchen, and saw that the light had gone out. Just like in the living room where the TV is usually on, now it's quiet and a little dim, thanks to the streetlights coming in through the window's blinds.

With careful steps, Lisa opened the door to Vira's room. Seeing the mound on the bed made her both relieved and curious. Why was her friend already asleep before she came home? Usually, Vira would wait for her in the living room and then ask all kinds of questions, as if interrogating why she came home so late.

'Maybe she's tired,' Lisa muttered to herself.

She slowly closed the door to Vira's room then rushed to her room. Today was quite tiring for her even though she took a 'holiday' at the office and spent her time strolling around the mall. After washing her body and drying her hair, the woman lay down on the soft mattress. The thick, dark blue blanket covered part of her body, making her feel so comfortable that she yawned widely.

Usually, the woman can fall asleep once her head touches the pillow. But strangely, the sleepiness did not come even though she tried to close her eyes for a long time. After counting dozens of sheep in her mind and turning her body to the right and left, Lisa still didn't feel sleepy. As if there was an electric current running through her body.

Actually, Lisa already knew the cause of her insomnia. It was quite embarrassing and she couldn't possibly say it out loud.

Has Oscar taken his medicine tonight? What if the man took the wrong pills and then his injury got worse? This afternoon, the man did not memorize the rules for taking his medicine, especially when it comes to the ones that he needed to consume late at night.

After all, Lisa was the cause of the injury to Oscar's hand. So it was only natural that she was worried about the man's condition. If something bad happened to Oscar, she would not be able to forgive herself!

"Ugh, what if Osca's kidney malfunctioned because of taking the wrong medicine?" 

Of course nothing like that would happen. Even Lisa herself knows that. But a feeling of panic had already enveloped her body, which caused her to think about things that were unlikely to happen.

The clock in her room showed half past 11 at night, Lisa couldn't stand the feeling of panic anymore. The woman rose from the warm embrace of the blanket and hurried to change into more appropriate clothes. She only had time to bring her wallet and cellphone before her feet took her out of Vira's apartment.

Maybe because it was almost midnight, the traffic wasn't too heavy. Only a few vehicles were seen passing at high speed, just like the taxi that Lisa was taking now. The journey only took 25 minutes before they arrived at Oscar's house.

"Be careful. At this time of night, it's not good to play at a boy's house." The taxi driver said when Lisa paid the fare.

Lisa laughed awkwardly, "Thank you, sir."

Mrs. Rusminah, who was already getting ready for bed, grumbled when she heard the doorbell ring. Who would have the heart to visit her master's house so late to disturb their sleeping hours? The middle-aged woman rushed to get the key to the gate and put on her house slippers.

"Miss Lisa? Why are you here at night like this?" Mrs. Rusminah asked in disbelief. 

"I guess I've often told you to just call me by name," Lisa grumbled. Hearing other people call her formally made her feel strange for some reason. She felt as if she was a royal princess. "I'm here to see Oscar. Just for a moment. After that, I'll go home."

Mrs. Rusminah opened the gate for her and then invited the woman to enter. She then locked the gate back while frowning.

"What's the problem? This afternoon, I helped Mr. Oscar apply ointment because he said the stitches hurt…"

"The stitches hurt?"

Hearing the maid's words suddenly made Lisa stop walking. She turned her head and let the middle-aged woman walk over to her, "Did Oscar forget to cover his hands while taking a shower?"

"He hasn't showered this afternoon. The stitches have been sore since this afternoon, not long after you said goodbye. That's why Mr. Oscar told me that he didn't want to take a shower."

It was clear that Mrs. Rusminah was in a hurry. Although the man said that the stitches had not hurt too much since the ointment was applied, she felt worried again after seeing the look on Lisa's face.

Lisa clucked in annoyance, for some reason she had to feel upset now even though it wasn't her fault. No— of course it's her fault! Because of her problem with Surya, Oscar had to intervene and injured his arm. The woman walked ahead of Mrs. Rusminah and then climbed the stairs quickly.

"Has he taken his medicine tonight?" Lisa asked.

"I'm sorry but I don't know," Mrs. Rusminah stopped following Lisa from behind and chose to let the woman climb the stairs herself. "Mr Oscar said he wanted to take it by himself in his room, so I don't know."

"Ah, I see. If that guy hasn't taken medicine yet, I'll slap his face! I've told him to take medicine after eating—"

Since Lisa was in a hurry to climb the stairs and at the same time trying not to make a noise so William wouldn't wake up from his sleep, she didn't get to see Mrs. Rusminah's shining face. 

The middle-aged woman stood looking at her back, unable to stop smiling widely.

Finally, it looks like they will get back together in the near future!
