BXBX NOVEL Chapter 207 - Second Chance
Lisa opened her bedroom\'s door and then swept around her with squinting eyes. The dazzling light of the hospital hallway made her eyes sting and uncomfortable. She couldn\'t see her surroundings, her vision was too blurry this time. Even though she had used a cane, Lisa didn\'t dare to step out and look for Oscar. The woman stepped back and closed the door to her room.
It seemed that Oscar had come home. She stepped back then put her cane near the door. The woman sat back on her bed, staring at the ceiling of the room with a blank gaze. Her mind was still chaotic, and it looked like she couldn\'t sleep well tonight.
Lisa adjusted her blanket, then fixed her sleeping position until she felt the most comfortable. Then she remembered that she forgot to turn off the light. She got out of bed again and turned the switch. With careful steps, Lisa returned to her bed.
Her thoughts were still floating on the air, recalling her past when she was still the wife of the multinational telecommunication company\'s president director. Lisa tried her hardest to get all the images out of her mind and sleep. She tried to close her eyes with difficulty but the memory of her past was still floating freely in her mind.
\'Damn, I don\'t think I\'ll be able to sleep well tonight!\'
The shadows of the past came back to Lisa\'s mind. A dream where Oscar carried Lisa after they got married, then laid her down on a soft bed, surrounded by a sprinkling of red rose petals. In her memory, Lisa stared at Oscar\'s handsome face. His firm cheekbones were chiseled by God himself, and his full, sensual lips were flushed. His pair of blue eyes as clear as a cloudless morning sky stared at her with affection. And his golden curls that sparkled in the morning sun.
\'What a beautiful man..\' Lisa thought.
She imagined the man slowly climbed on top of her, then kissed her blushing lips. It was not like the usual harsh and lustful kiss, it was as gentle and romantic one, as if the man wanted her to know that he loved his woman with all his heart.
His golden curls hung down beautifully and covered his forehead. Oscar looked extraordinarily handsome. Too bad, Lisa was no longer his wife. Without realizing it, Lisa apparently still had some love for Oscar. She could not lie to her feelings no matter how much her common sense and logic tried to tell her not to fall into Oscar\'s arms. Lisa wanted to return to the man\'s arms, even though he had hurt Lisa many times and broke her heart to pieces.
Lisa opened her eyes again and took a deep breath. Her chest felt very tight when she woke up from her memory that kept bothering her. Without realizing it, she turned to the left and found Oscar\'s sleeping figure at the end of her bed.
Lisa stared at the man\'s figure with an extremely confused look. Didn\'t that man just leave the hospital to go back home? Why was he here now?
Lisa\'s hand touched the man\'s face that suddenly woke him up. Oscar lifted his head and looked at Lisa with a sullen face like a child on Monday morning.
"Oscar, I told you not to stay here with me. Clara and William will look for you later, won\'t they!?" Lisa asked softly.
"Are you sure you want to be in this room alone? I heard you were delirious," Oscar replied casually.
"Delirious? So I fell asleep just now!?" Lisa asked, surprised. "Wait, how long have I been sleeping!?"
"I was out to smoke for a while, maybe half an hour. Then I returned to your room again and saw you were fast asleep, so I accompanied you again just like yesterday."
The golden-haired man brought his face closer to Lisa\'s, now the distance between their noses was only one centimeter. He tilted his head and whispered, "I heard you calling out my name Lisa. Looks like you were having a sweet dream earlier,"
\'I\'m so dead! So I was talking in my dream because of the damn memory!?\'
"Lisa, let\'s face it. You still love me, right? If you do not love me, it\'s impossible for you to call my name in your dreams so passionately. Your voice sounded so beautiful. I can feel it."
Lisa\'s heart was beating very fast as she heard the man explain to her. It was as if the blue-eyed man could read her entire mind like a novel. Lisa was speechless, she couldn\'t express her feelings now. She then shuffled from her bed and then stared at the ceiling of her room, trying to get rid of the beautiful dreams from her mind.
Oscar leaned closer to Lisa\'s arms. The man tilted his head and brought his sensual lips closer to hers. The woman could feel Oscar\'s warm breath on her lips. The breath was so soft that it made Lisa\'s feelings and heart become very calm.
Oscar immediately pushed his lips against Lisa\'s slowly. The man stole a sweet kiss from her. One of his hands was holding Lisa\'s face gently and keeping it from falling off.
Surprisingly, Lisa didn\'t refuse at all! In fact, she realized that the man was kissing her intimately, but she didn\'t feel any rejection from her heart that told her to fight and run. Lisa was really down this time. She had no resistance at all. She enjoyed it so much when their lips and tongues were linked.
It wasn\'t long before Lisa\'s common sense began to take over her brain. She slowly let go of the kiss and pushed Oscar gently. The man then looked at Lisa with a sad and surprised look.
"I\'m sorry Oscar, but we can\'t be like this. You already have a wife and a child. I don\'t want to ruin your relationship with Clara," Lisa said softly. There was a slight sadness in her tone.
Oscar held Lisa\'s face with both hands. His two broad palms gently brushed Lisa\'s cold cheeks. He looked closely at her before finally saying, "You still don\'t believe what I said yesterday, right? My relationship with Clara is not like what you think!"
Lisa didn\'t answer for long. According to her, Oscar purposely did not acknowledge his relationship with Clara so as not to hurt her heart, or worse, Oscar deliberately wanted to have an affair with her.
Lisa turned her back to Oscar while answering, "If Clara is not your wife, then where was William born? His face is very similar to yours, there\'s no way you could pick it up from the trash!?" Lisa asked with a little pain in her heart.
Oscar fell silent. He didn\'t want to argue with Lisa this late. He didn\'t want to disturb the woman\'s rest by having endless arguments. "Go to sleep Lisa, you\'re getting delirious again,"
"But I want to know the truth, Oscar!" Lisa insisted, clutching Oscar\'s arm.
"I\'m sorry, but I can\'t tell you. Maybe not now. The timing isn\'t right yet," Oscar said softly.
"I understand what you meant when you told me to go home, I know you meant it for my own good. But I really want to help you and I want to mend our friendship that\'s damaged by our divorce for a long time. I don\'t want you to hold a grudge against me in your heart, Lisa. So, give me a second chance to fix it.. I\'m sorry, I seem obsessed with you."
