"Lisa, let me explain to you again," the man's gaze looked solemn. His wide palm tapped the surface of the bed then continued, "My relationship with Clara is not like what you think. Trust me!"

Lisa stared at his pair of blue eyes closely. The man's glint looked serious but Lisa did not want to be fooled again by all of his lies. She brushed off Oscar's touch and then snapped, "I don't care what you're going to explain, Oscar. You have lied to me many times! I don't want to see you again. Our relationship is over!"

Oscar did not say a word. The man suddenly turned around and walked to the door, and left without looking back. The door slammed so hard that the sound startled Lisa. The woman was stunned and fell silent for a moment, she couldn't believe what she had just seen.

Lisa returned to curl up on the bed, bowing her head. Without realizing it, her eyes were already teary. Unable to hold back the pain in her chest, she sobbed in silence. She felt so stupid that her hopes of getting reconciled with Oscar had vanished. She even imagined actually reconciling with Oscar after she got out of the hospital! This was all due to her stupidity and the lipstick mark on Oscar's collar.

Lisa lifted her face again, her eyes fixed on the blood trickle that flowed from Oscar's palm. The trail of blood dried up on the floor, looking hideous. Lisa shifted herself from the bed to see how much blood that was splattered on the floor.

'Lisa you stupid! what were you trying to do !?'

The next morning, the doctor who treated Lisa checked her again and confirmed that her condition was completely normal. It was finally time for Lisa to go home. In her heart, Lisa was actually very happy to be able to return to her life as before, but she still regretted what she did to Oscar and was very disappointed with him.

The problem was, her feelings for Oscar were very mixed. In her heart, she still wanted to live with Oscar until the end of her life. But at the same time, she was disappointed because the man made it difficult for her to move on. She couldn't help but resent him for keeping another woman much more beautiful and smarter than Lisa.

Since Oscar left her without a message, he did not visit her on her last day at the hospital this morning. The VIP room felt empty and suffocating, as if the man who had taken care of her from the first day until yesterday had simply vanished.

On this last day, Lisa immediately packed all her belongings. Suddenly a tall, burly man with a grim face knocked gently on the door and entered. "Good morning, Miss Lisa, I am assigned to take you home," Dani said politely.

"Mr. Dani, please don't bother. I can go home by myself," Lisa said politely. Her right hand was waving.

"I'm sorry Miss, but Mr. Oscar told me to take you back home," Dani replied to make sure that Lisa agreed to the request.

For a moment, Lisa felt strange. Yesterday, that man coldly and indifferently left her just like that. Now the man ordered his personal assistant to take her home. What did that foreigner want, exactly?

Lisa still insisted, she didn't want to depend on Oscar anymore. It was enough for her to bother the president of Petersson Communication with all the sufferings in her life. "Mr. Dani, I'm sorry but I have to reject your offer. I can take care of myself. Please tell Oscar I don't need his help!"

"I beg you, miss, this is also for my sake. I'll likely get a warning if I don't take you home. Please…." Dani asked with a little pleading.

Hearing his pleading voice which sounded warm made Lisa sympathize with him. She then changed her mind and accepted Dani's offer.

Dani immediately brought Lisa's belongings and then loaded them into the black Alphard parked outside. Lisa then got into the car and turned her head, staring at the hospital building where she made sweet memories with Oscar. She hoped to have romantic moments like yesterday but it seemed that her dream was too good to be true. Oscar wouldn't come back to her again. He didn't love Lisa. He only loved Clara.

Remembering what happened last night made Lisa feel a little depressed. Along the way, she tried to sleep and divert her foggy thoughts.

Arriving at the boarding house, Dani helped Lisa unload her things. Lisa approached Dani and lowered her head. "Thank you for taking me home."

The man replied, "Don't worry, I'm just doing my job."

"Oh by the way," Lisa suddenly said. "Is Oscar's hand all right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Oscar is fine. But he will leave Jakarta."

Hearing what Dani said just now made Lisa a little surprised. She frowned and asked, "What do you mean leaving Jakarta?"

"Mr. Oscar will move. He's not going to stay in Jakarta anymore. Actually, he didn't allow me to tell this to anyone, but I think you need to know. Don't tell him that you know from me, okay?" Dani explained in a whisper.

"Okay, where is he going to move?" Lisa asked again.

"I can't say it Miss, but it's clear that he's going to leave on Friday," Dani briefly said.

Lisa took a deep breath. She was completely at a loss for words. The expression on her face suddenly became gloomy when she heard the news that Oscar was leaving Jakarta for good. "Well, I wish Oscar all the best. Once again, thank you for taking me home Mr. Dani!"

After the black Alphard drove away, Lisa immediately rushed to the kitchen to get drinking water. Her throat was very dry. How many days had she left her boarding house? It seemed that not much had changed. When Lisa looked at her kitchen, she was surprised. The kitchen looked very clean.

Lisa opened the refrigerator and looked inside. The fridge was stocked with vegetables and fruits, as well as various types of meat and bottled drinks. Lisa took a new bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and took a quick sip.

For a moment, she wondered who was kind enough to take care of her chaotic and unkempt boarding house while she was still in the hospital? Was it Oscar? Ah, of course not, Oscar didn't have free time to take care of her boarding house.

What about Andien? Impossible, Andien was too poor to stuff her refrigerator full with foods like this!

Then Lisa thought of someone.
