BXBX NOVEL Chapter 470 - Guilt
Lisa doesn\'t want to let yesterday\'s scary incident happen again. Actually, she didn\'t want to send William to school. There was still half of her that was afraid of yesterday\'s events happening again. Who knows what will happen today?
But seeing her son looking so excited to get ready for school made Lisa couldn\'t help but take him there.
Feeling that fear emanating from his mother made William hug Lisa\'s neck. He rested his chin on her shoulder and tried to reassure his mother that he would be fine.
"Yes, Mama. Don\'t worry about me, okay? I promise I will not be naughty and listen to all the words of my teachers today. Later, I will wait for Mama here, with my teachers and friends."
They hugged for a long time that they didn\'t realize the school gate was about to close. One of the teachers standing in front then walked up to them. A warm but thin smile graced her beautiful face.
"William, come on in. After this, the lesson is about to start, you know…" The beautiful woman said.
"Well, your teacher is here," Lisa released their hug and kissed the boy\'s chubby cheeks again. She looked up and stood up while adjusting her short skirt, "Ma\'am, I\'ll leave William in your care, okay?"
The beautiful woman nodded her head and gently pulled William\'s hand. She held the little boy\'s hand and smiled sweetly. "Yes, don\'t worry. I will definitely make sure what happened yesterday will not happen again."
"Hmm, I\'ll be the one to pick up William this afternoon." Lisa replied, she also returned the woman\'s sweet smile.
The woman nodded her head again and invited the boy to enter. Lisa remained standing in front of the gate, waiting until they were out of sight. Then the woman in the short skirt left.
Meanwhile, at the Healthy Together hospital...
Around 5 this morning, Oscar had woken up from his sleep. Last night, when Lisa came home, the anesthesiologist told him that the wound on his arm wasn\'t just a small wound that would heal in a matter of days. Even though he was Oscar Petersson, an athletic man who could beat Dani in a minute, his arm ached as the anesthetic slowly wore off.
All night, the man could not sleep well and often winced or grumbled in pain. Dani, who rested on the small bed beside him, couldn\'t sleep soundly. Every 10 minutes, the poor guy would wake up to Oscar\'s grunts.
"Oh God! Why does my arm hurt so much!"
"Dani, Dani, quickly call the doctor or nurse!"
"Ouch, please tell them to give me some painkillers!"
Even before Dani could straighten his back on the bed, the man had to stand up again to get him a drink.
Finally, because of Oscar\'s child-like whining, Dani couldn\'t sleep at all. His eye bags thickened and his eyes became red, feeling very hot. When the alarm on his cell phone rang, the man had only one wish. He wanted to cry.
Not long after Dani washed his face in the bathroom, the door was opened from the outside. At first, the burly man thought that it was a nurse who wanted to check Oscar\'s blood pressure. But when he heard the sound of high heels clattering, Dani immediately turned around quickly.
"Oh Miss Lisa. Finally, you came too!"
This time, Dani saw Lisa as an angel sent by God to save him. So excited, the man immediately dragged a wooden chair next to Oscar\'s bed.
"Please sit here ma\'am!" Dani said in excess. "Me and Mr. Oscar have been waiting for your arrival since this morning!"
Lisa just nodded her head, not really listening to Dani\'s words. Ever since she stepped into the patient\'s room, the woman\'s eyes had never looked at the man with the golden hair.
Dani smoothed his collar, "Can I sleep for a while while you are here to visit Mr. Oscar? I only need half an hour."
Hearing that made Lisa automatically turn her head, looking at Oscar\'s personal assistant. At that moment, the woman realized that there was something wrong with Dani\'s face. His eye bags darkened, his hair was a little wet and messy, then his eyes turned red.
"Oh my gosh, what\'s wrong with you? Of course, just go and sleep first, I can get permission to enter the office late. Oh, why didn\'t you tell me to come earlier so I could look after Oscar?"
"Well, Mr. Oscar has been complaining all night—"
"Complaining about being hungry!" Oscar interrupted fast.
"Hungry?" Danny asked in disbelief. He remembered that he had brought him food from a nearby restaurant last night and that Oscar had eaten his meal voraciously.
"Can\'t I be hungry anymore?" Oscar asked sulkily.
He never wanted to until Lisa saw him as a weak man. Even though the pain in his arm almost made him cry, he still had to look strong in front of his ex-wife.
Dani chuckled and laid down on the bed, "Don\'t mind my presence here. You guys just talk, let me sleep for a bit."
"Lisa, I was really hungry last night—"
"Yeah, I know. You must be so hungry that Dani can\'t sleep, right? I know."
Then, without letting the man defend himself, Lisa opened the porridge she had brought earlier. Soon, the delicious aroma of chicken porridge immediately spread throughout the patient\'s room. Lisa took the empty plate on the table to place the chicken porridge.
Lisa thrust the plate in front of Oscar and said, "You said you were hungry right? Have you eaten? I made you chicken porridge this morning. Yesterday, before I went home, your doctor told me that you shouldn\'t eat anything while you\'re healing."
Oscar took the still warm chicken porridge with a dumbfounded expression on his face. The pain he felt in his arm disappeared into thin air from the shock.
"Lisa, you… You cooked me this chicken porridge?" Oscar looked down and saw the chicken pieces placed on top of the porridge. "Someone like you cooked me chicken porridge at dawn?"
"You don\'t have to be so silly, can you? I did it all because I felt guilty! I feel I have to take the responsibility to help you recover soon. If you don\'t get better, I\'ll feel even more guilty!"
