Lisa nodded her head, relieved to hear Dani's reply.

Then, without wasting any more time, the three of them rushed to the ICU. They only had time to look at Oscar through the glass for a few minutes, then it didn't take long before they saw the man's bed being taken out.

A rescue respirator, an IV line, and several nurses accompanied Oscar's bedside. The three then walked up to the 6th floor, to the operating room.

Oscar and several nurses used a special elevator for patients while Lisa, Mrs. Rusminah, and Dani had to use the visitor elevator which was located right beside the special elevator.

"Drink first, Miss Lisa." Dani said while handing her a bottle of drinking water he had just bought at the supermarket downstairs.

Oscar's operation had started 2 and a half hours ago but until now, the light above the operation door was still on. Often Lisa got up from the chair, walked back and forth, and looked at her watch.

Lisa took the water bottle and took a quick gulp. Not long after, the woman again stood up from the chair and walked away. This time, the woman stood by the large window and watched the outside of the hospital.

Lisa's biggest fear is that when the operating door is opened, she will hear bad news from the doctor. Until then, she is still not ready to lose the man.

Even though they often fight and Oscar's attitude is annoying, he is still one of the important people in her life.

If she had to lose Oscar now, especially because of her actions, Lisa didn't know how to feel.

When Lisa was about to walk back near the operating room, she saw the door to the room being opened from the inside. It wasn't long before Oscar's bed was pushed out and several nurses came out as well.

Lisa rushed to the doctor, followed by Dani and Mrs. Rusminah from behind.

"Doctor, how is Oscar doing?"

The doctor took off his mask, wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "The operation went well and I'm sure Mr Oscar will be fine."

Hearing Oscar was fine and the operation going smoothly made Lisa's shoulders feel a lot lighter.

The operation that took almost 3 hours made Lisa feel like 3 centuries.

Now, various kinds of feelings fill her chest. Relief, pleasure, gratitude, panic, all mixed into one.

If Oscar's surgery took more than 3 hours, maybe Lisa would have gone crazy. Her heart beating too fast, her brain playing with her telling her the operation would fail— everything almost drove Lisa mad.

During those 3 hours, Lisa would hold the pill bottle which she kept in her bag. She was prepared to finish the drug if she heard the news that the operation was not a success.

Whether she wanted to die now or later, according to Lisa, it wouldn't make any difference. If Oscar was no longer in this world, it would be better if she just died. Who knows they will be able to improve their relationship in their next life.

Who knows if Lisa can apologize to the man without the slightest arrogance like before?

Perhaps, because Oscar's condition had improved and the operation went smoothly, the man was taken to a regular patient room. His bed was taken to the VVIP room area that the hospital had prepared for him.

After everything was neatly arranged, the IV pole was placed beside Oscar's bed and a thick blanket had covered Oscar's body. Then, the nurses came out of the room.

Lisa sat on the chair beside Oscar's bed and stared at the man's pale face. In her heart, the woman kept on sending prayers for him to get well soon.

"Miss Lisa, it's better if you go home now. You couldn't sleep at all yesterday, right? Let me take care of Mr. Oscar today. If you want, you can come back and see Mr. Oscar this afternoon," Mrs. Rusminah suggested.

She knows that Lisa couldn't sleep well last night. In addition to the thick and black eye bags, she also knew that there was no way she could sleep peacefully knowing Oscar's surgery would take place tomorrow.

Hearing Mrs. Rusminah's worried voice made Lisa turn around for a moment. She then shook her head, "No need. Let me take care of Oscar. You'd better go home now, don't forget to make William lunch."

"Ah, then how about your lunch later? Do I need to send food from home?" Mrs. Rusminah asked doubtfully.

Dani nodded his head, "If Mrs. Lisa wants, I can send your lunch and dinner here."

"Don't think too much about it. I can buy in the canteen or order food online. So don't worry."

Without arguing any longer, Mrs. Rusminah went home. She did nothing but look after William because Lisa suggested that William should not be sent to daycare today.

Because of that, Dani was forced to go home with the middle-aged woman.

"If you need anything, please contact me immediately." Danny said before he closed the door.

Lisa cleared her throat, "Yeah."

Now, there were only Lisa and Oscar in the room.  The woman slowly raised her hand and stroked the back of Oscar's palm. Her touch was so gentle, as if she was touching something precious and fragile.

She didn't want Oscar to be bothered when he woke up any time soon, so Lisa closed the curtains on the window. She then turned off almost all the lights in the room and only relied on the small lamp beside Oscar's bed.

Apart from lighting up the room, the reason Lisa turned on the light was to see the change in Oscar's face. The woman had also prepared the device to call the nurse in case of emergency beside her.

She did it all for Oscar, for his comfort and fast recovery. Lisa wanted him to receive the utmost care when he woke up later.

Lisa remained in her seat the whole time. She always stood guard beside Oscar's bed and watched the man's face. All this time, she couldn't stop praying that Oscar would be fine and regain consciousness soon.

"Please don't leave me here alone..." Lisa pleaded as she stroked the back of Oscar's hand.
