Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

After calling an ambulance, Mrs. Sumiyati immediately contacted Rangga. When the call was connected, she immediately spoke in a choked voice, "Mr. Rangga! Sorry, but you must hurry back!"

Meanwhile, Rangga was holding a meeting with guests from abroad. However, hearing the maid's worried voice, he immediately postponed the meeting.

"Calm down ma'am… Take a deep breath and tell me slowly. What's up? Lisa is fine, right?" Rangga asked, sounding a little restless from across.

"That... Ouch... Ms. Lisa had an accident, the blood didn't want to stop! I've already called an ambulance, but please help us, you have to come home quickly. I am confused about what to do with this!"

Without saying much and thinking anymore, Rangga immediately closed the call and told his secretary to postpone today's meeting. "Please reschedule, I have urgent business outside the office!"

When the ambulance arrived, Lisa was lying lethargic and unconscious on Mrs. Sumiyati's lap. The blood that flowed from her lower body was flowing more profusely, making the maid even more panicked and afraid to see it.

The staff on standby immediately took Lisa on a stretcher and put the woman into the car, followed by Mrs. Sumiyati, who was shaking with fear. She could only hope that Lisa would be alright.

***

When Lisa opened her eyes, waking up from a sleep that felt like days, the first thing she did was stare at the ceiling of the room that seemed strange but familiar and looked around her slowly. Her head was still dizzy as she was trying to remember what had happened to her but her memories were too hazy.

Lisa then suddenly got up from the bed. Rangga, who was sitting beside her throughout the day, finally woke up too.

"Lis, you finally woke up!" Rangga exclaimed happily.

Lisa touched her lower stomach and didn't feel any lumps. Her stomach was flat!

"Wh… Where's my child? Has my child been born? Is my child alright? How long did I sleep? Have you been waiting for me?" Lisa asked Rangga repeatedly, as if firing a load of bullets from a machine gun.

Rangga didn't know where to begin. Lisa had just had surgery, her body was too weak to move around so Rangga helped the woman lie back on her bed.

"Lis… I'm sorry to say this but... Your child... died ..."

The sad news finally escaped Rangga's lips, who had been guarding her all day while Lisa was still in a coma. Rangga was hesitant about telling her everything that had happened to the baby she was carrying.

However, sooner or later, something that is hidden will definitely be discovered one day.

Even though Rangga didn't tell Lisa the harsh truth, that woman would still know. So it was better to tell her now than later.

Lisa couldn't believe what she just heard. She thought what Rangga said was nonsense. Her face suddenly turned pale as fear began to grip her body. "No... It's impossible. No, there's no way my child will die again! Impossible! Call the doctor who treats me, Rangga! I want to ask myself!"

"Lis, never mind. Your child survived but only stayed silent for 5 hours. You are bleeding so badly that the child in your womb runs out of blood. The doctor did the best he could!"

Lisa shook her head, tears began to fill the corners of her puffy eyes. "No, that's impossible! I can't believe it! You're lying, you're lying to me, Rangga!" The woman beat the man as tears kept falling from her eyes.

Lisa could hardly keep up with the pain that almost crushed her chest. She couldn't believe that she had to lose another child after not being pregnant for so long. It felt like yesterday when the child growing inside her looked healthy, but reality said otherwise.

The feeling of loss deepened, as if making her feel she fell into the deepest well ever, swallowing all her emotions into a cold and dark pit. The child she had been guarding until this moment didn't manage to survive. She had tried her best to keep the child alive, but when she woke up, her child was gone. It was very difficult for her to accept that reality at this time.

Rangga sat on the edge of Lisa's bed, embraced his childhood friend and let her cry until her tears dried. The man patted Lisa's back to calm her heart as she had just suffered the pain that no mother should have.

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault for failing to protect you. Instead of protecting you, I actually made you hurt like this," he said softly, blaming himself as his eyes began to tear up.

How can Rangga not feel guilty? Since the incident at the Colors Advertising office a few weeks ago, a mysterious man whom he was not aware of, Aditya, instigated his relationship with Lisa. So Rangga deliberately kept his distance because he was hesitant. He is distracted by Lisa's former bastard lover.

Even though Rangga realized that he was not the one who caused Lisa to hurt, he still felt guilty for failing to protect her. If only he hadn't kept his distance from Lisa and kept her by his side, maybe this tragedy wouldn't have happened!

"It's okay, just cry until you calm down. I'm on your side." Rangga's chin was draped over Lisa's head as she was sobbing, hugging her tightly so that she was calm and comfortable in his arms.

That cry is not just a cry, but a lamentation from a mother who lost her child. Her cries even reached  the corridor outside the ER.

Just hearing it made Rangga feel like his heart was getting stabbed— it was so painful that no words could describe it.

The man let Lisa beat his flat chest, howling in pain. Something inside her hurt but it didn't bleed— that was the pain Lisa felt right now. After wailing until her tears dried, she stopped and then leaned her head on the pillow of the bed.

When her sadness began to subside and her tears stopped running down her pale cheeks, Rangga rubbed Lisa's cold head and then wiped the corners of her wet eyes. Seeing his childhood friend suffer physically and mentally like this made Rangga's heart ache as if it was getting torn apart.

"Rangga, my child is gone because of Aditya! I want my ex-asshole to pay for all this. I want him to pay with his life! I want that bastard Aditya to die!" Lisa said furiously.

If only Aditya hadn't pushed Lisa until she stumbled on a park bench, she wouldn't have to feel the pain of losing her own flesh like this. Lisa clearly remembered now, it was Aditya who made her fall and hit the park bench.

Lisa clasped her palm, the pain caused by her bastard ex-lover was not worth what she felt now.

In the past, Lisa had lost her first child once. And now that she is being careful, why did she still lose? As if God did not allow her to hold her baby in her life.

"Lisa, don't worry. I won't let the people who hurt you run away. I'll make sure he will pay his debt!" Rangga said without hesitation.

A few moments after he made his promise to Lisa, he heard the sound of the emergency room entrance being kicked from outside. The figure of a tall, burly man was seen walking past the door. Behind him, Oscar Petersson approached Lisa's bed with hasty steps and a sour expression.

Rangga personally told Oscar after this accident happened because he knew the child belonged to that man, so Oscar had the right to know everything.

"Rangga, you promised to always protect Lisa, right? Is this how you do it? Is this how you protect Lisa from harm? You really don't deserve to be a man! You don't deserve Lisa!" After that sentence escaped Oscar's lips, the golden-haired man immediately beat Rangga on the spot.

Without waiting for Rangga's response, the tall, slender man threw another hard punch at him until he collapsed on the floor.

"Gentlemen! Please! This is a hospital! If you want to have a fist fight, do it in the parking lot!" The head of ER snapped with an irritated look.

Oscar then lifted Rangga's body from the floor and dragged him outside to the parking lot. "Our business is not finished! Don't try to run away!"
