Chapter 588 - Living For The Next 2500 Years

"Mr. Oscar is fine and getting the best care, so just take it easy. Earlier, the doctor told me that tomorrow, Mr. Oscar will undergo surgery because his upper rib is fractured. The doctor said the operation won't be too difficult, it's just that the risk factor is quite high."

Without wasting any more time, Lisa asked, "Where is he now?"

"ICU room on the 5th floor." Danny's reply was short. He turned around and was ready to take Lisa there.

Lisa rushed to follow Dani from behind to use the elevator. Since they were now on the 2nd floor, they had to use the elevator to get to the 5th floor.

Dani just said that the surgery wasn't too difficult but the risk was quite high! 

Lisa really wouldn't forgive herself if anything happened to Oscar.

Arriving in front of the ICU room, Lisa and Dani were given green clothes and also plastic used to cover the shoes they were wearing. Then, after everything was ready, they were led to Oscar's room.

When Lisa arrived in front of Oscar's bed, she saw that the man had come to his senses. The man looked like he was reading a small book with slightly shaking hands.

Lisa cleared her throat, showing that she had come to see Oscar. The man looked up and quickly hid the booklet under his pillow. The look on Oscar's face was that of a child hiding his bad grades.

In that instant, Lisa's feet seemed to be firmly planted on the vinyl floor. No sound escaped her lips, but her eyes were blurry thanks to her tears.

Oscar was also silent while looking at Lisa. He didn't think that she would come here to see him.

As Lisa wore the green outfit, she couldn't stop thinking about what she should do when she met Oscar. Various scenarios swirled in her head. But when they met, not a single sentence left her lips.

At first, Lisa thought of apologizing. Apologizing for his annoying behavior and apologizing for the fact that Oscar got into an accident and was seriously injured because of her.

But when Lisa's eyes met Oscar's clear blue eyes, the woman seemed to have forgotten her language. No words can describe how she feels right now.

When people are really sad, they forget how to cry. Like several cases that Lisa had met before. When Andien's father died, the woman did not cry. But as time goes by, the woman can only cry.

It was the same as how Lisa felt now. So sad, she could not cry. Her eyes were watery and hot, but there were no tears running down her cheeks.

"Please sit here, Miss Lisa." Dani said softly as he brought the folding chair next to the patient's bed closer.

Lisa followed Dani's order and sat beside Oscar's bed. From then until now, they didn't take their eyes off each other. Her eyes circled the man's face and body, while Oscar's eyes stared intently at Lisa's.

After Lisa sat quietly, Dani felt that now was the right time to go out. He didn't want to stop them from talking to their heart's content.

Finally, Dani turned around and walked out of the ICU in silence. 

For a few seconds, they remained silent and enjoyed the silence that enveloped them. Then, who knows how much time later, Lisa got up the courage to raise her hand and hold Oscar's hand.

And at that moment, Lisa felt her heart shattered into pieces. Oscar's hand that usually felt strong and looked sturdy, now felt weak in her grip. 

Lisa's thumb stroked the back of Oscar's hand slowly. 

Because of her, Oscar had to lie down on the patient's bed, in the ICU room to be precise. 

It should have been her on the bed, not Oscar.

Lisa tried hard not to cry in front of him. Before she was brought to Oscar's room, she had sworn not to cry, especially in front of Oscar. 

But when Lisa looked at Oscar's two clear blue eyes, her heart was torn apart. The man didn't complain or blame her at all. He was silent and looked at Lisa with warm eyes.

"I will always be with you, Oscar. Whether you die or live, I will always be with you. I won't leave you alone. Remember my words, Oscar…"

Hearing that made Oscar's heart and whole body feel warm. He tried to tighten his grip on her hand, but his efforts were in vain.

"Take it easy. I have a body this big, so I won't die that easily." Oscar replied in his weak voice.

Hearing the word 'die' leave Oscar's lips made Lisa want to get up from the chair and slap the man on the cheek hard. If he hadn't been lying limply on the patient bed and had a tube inserted for a respirator, maybe Lisa would have scolded the man a lot.

At that moment, Lisa immediately regretted her words. 

Oscar will undergo a surgery tomorrow, and she believes the man will be fine and come back home with her strong.

Yes, Oscar will be fine.

"Ah sorry, I shouldn't have said you were going to die. I mean, if you die someday, I will definitely be by your side. You don't have to worry, I'll definitely be by your side." Lisa replied after a long time of not saying anything.

After saying that, Lisa regretted her words again. Why did she sound like she hoped that Oscar would die soon!?

The man tried to smile despite the slightest movement his whole body ached. "Hey, hey, calm down. I'm not going to die anytime soon. I will live for the next 2500 years."

Lisa wanted to laugh and thought the guy was crazy, but hearing the words, there was a feeling of relief that filled her chest cavity.

She dared herself to put her head on Oscar's stomach slowly. Even though she was afraid of touching the man's wounds, she still wanted to be close to him.

Her body seemed to tell her that she didn't want to be away from Oscar. 

Oscar raised his infused hand and stroked Lisa's head, "Don't worry. I'll be fine for sure."
