Chapter 562 - I Will Help You

Oscar sighed, "It's fine. This has happened and cannot be changed. But I just want to say that from now on, you should take good care of yourself. Don't trust people right away."

"You have become a mother, Lisa. You already have a child. From now on, don't be stupid again, or you will destroy your life. William is still too young, do you have the heart to let your child lose his mother?"

Lisa is now a mother and she is not young anymore. But now, hearing all of that from Oscar, she felt like a child being scolded for losing her stuff at school. 

"Yeah, I was wrong. I shouldn't have trusted Maria right away, that woman has always been two-faced from the start. I just don't think that Maria hasn't changed, and still holds a grudge against me.." 

Lisa remembers yesterday's incident where Maria apologized and even wanted to cry in front of her. And she foolishly believed the demonic woman's stupid acting. 

She should have known that Maria was not the type of woman who would easily apologize and admit her mistakes. Especially considering that the woman still holds a grudge against her because of her issue with Rangga. 

Thanks to that stupid affair she earned the title of homewrecker.

How could Maria want to apologize and forgive Lisa even though everyone knows that she is innocent? Of course she wouldn't let go of her that easily.

"You are too innocent. In this world, no one is entirely a good person. So please, don't trust other people right away," Oscar said, and this time his voice was softer. "Now, what are you going to do with this voice recording?"

Lisa rushed to Oscar's door and just before she touched the doorknob, she replied, "Let me sort this out. You don't have to interfere."

"What are you going to do with this record?" Oscar asked as he walked over to Lisa. 

The man knew that Lisa couldn't do much with the voice recording. It wasn't that he was mocking, it's just that he knew all Lisa could do was come to Maria and show her the tape. Nothing more. And according to Oscar, doing so will not lead to a settlement.

The two women must have just had a fight, and it's over. Maria will not get what she deserves while Lisa will not be satisfied.

If Lisa wanted to invite Oscar to work together in solving the problem, everything would end up perfectly. Given Oscar's high position as the president of one of the biggest companies in Indonesia, he could easily beat someone like Maria.

"What are you going to do with this record?" Lisa asked back. This time the woman folded her arms in front of her chest.

"I don't know what to do yet. But clearly, I will not let anyone hurt you!"

Oscar's voice sounded firm, and for some reason, it made Lisa feel calm. Like, she knew she could trust Oscar at any time to defend her. The look in the man's eyes, which was no less firm, made Lisa's heart start beating normally.

At least Lisa knows that in this world, there are still two people who will always help her. And they are Oscar and William. The two men would definitely always be by her side and would not let her down.

Before Lisa could respond, Oscar had already left the room. From the sound of footsteps rushing down the stairs to the sound of cooking utensils in the kitchen, Lisa couldn't wake herself from the warm feeling. It was only when she heard the sound of a car horn that seemed to signal the man's departure did she wake up from her daydream.

She didn't know how it happened, but obviously, Lisa was happy. Her mood this morning had been so bad because Oscar had scolded her, but now, it had been replaced with a warm feeling. Warmer than the summer sun or the coffee Lisa usually makes in the morning.

Knowing that Oscar would do anything for her made the woman smile sheepishly.

But not until 2 minutes later, Lisa's face changed drastically. She shook her head quickly and patted her cheeks. Oscar must have done this to her because she was William's mother. Oscar did not want her good name to be damaged which would automatically damage William's reputation.

"Yeah, this is definitely for William's future." Lisa repeated with confidence.

Suddenly, just as she was raising her fist up to her cheek, she heard a woman's voice from the doorway. 

"Ah, looks like I came at the wrong time."

Hearing that suddenly made Lisa turn around quickly. Seeing Mrs. Rusminah looking at her silly attitude made Lisa laugh out loud. She shook her head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"If you want, you can take a shower or wash your face first. Earlier, Mr. Oscar asked me to make warm soup before leaving." Mrs. Rusminah said in a friendlier tone than usual. 

Last night, when she opened the door for Oscar, Dani, and Lisa, her heart broke when she saw Lisa's condition. As if she was seeing her own daughter. All night long, the middle-aged woman thought about what she should do to make Lisa feel good.

Finally, when the clock showed 5 o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Rusminah had come out of her room. Without turning off the headlights first, the woman was immediately busy struggling in the kitchen. She planned to make vegetable soup. 

Just when the woman heard footsteps coming down the stairs, Mrs. Rusminah turned off the stove. She turned and got orders to make Lisa some soup to warm her stomach.

"I apologize in advance if I sound chatty or out of line. It's just that, please don't drink too much next time. Alcohol is not good for your health. I am afraid that your health will decline and you will end up in the hospital."

Mrs. Rusminah's eyes reddened and her voice began to tremble. "Poor William. He'd be very sad if something bad happened to you. I also don't want anything to happen to you, Miss."

Lisa was surprised to hear it all from Mrs. Rusminah's lips. As long as she had known her, she never expected that she would treat her so warmly.

"Ah," Lisa replied awkwardly. She nodded her head slowly and continued, "Yes, thanks for taking care of me. After this..." Lisa pointed at the bathroom door with her index finger, "I'll go to the bathroom first and then go downstairs."
