BXBX NOVEL Chapter 621 - Cold Night
Dani stepped on the gas and the silver car drove fast on that lonely night. There were hardly any cars on the road. The only one that passed there was the vehicle that Dani drove.
The night mist blocked Dani\'s eyes.
Oscar and Lisa sat in the back seat. From earlier, the man couldn\'t stop embracing Lisa\'s trembling body.
Seeing his panicked face and his hand that often stroked her arm, hoping that she would feel calm, made the woman\'s tears fall slowly.
Oscar knew that Lisa must be really scared. Therefore he chose to remain silent and hugged her body tightly. No words or sounds left his lips.
According to Oscar, Lisa is not a woman who cries easily. She was too stubborn to show her weakness in public, let alone in front of him. So now, seeing the tears dripping down Lisa\'s cheeks made his heart shatter into pieces.
Oscar stroked Lisa\'s back while sometimes whispering comforting words. "Alright, alright, everything\'s fine."
"I\'m right here…."
Oscar leaned closer and occasionally kissed her forehead. Even though he wasn\'t there when Lisa experienced that horrible incident, he could imagine how Lisa was feeling.
The woman had to help herself and her friend who was very drunk. Two against 6 or more men at that time was not an easy thing. Moreover, the two of them did not have any weapons that they could use to defend themselves.
A few hours ago, Oscar was really annoyed with Lisa. After what they went through together, the woman suddenly did not want to sleep in his house anymore. Even during the trip to Lisa\'s apartment, the man had already made up his mind about what he was going to say later.
Not only that, maybe because he was too paranoid that Lisa would leave him again, Oscar thought that she was tired of him. Could it be that she went to a bar to unwind and look for a man who could satisfy her?
At that time Oscar thought, \'Am I not enough for Lisa?\'
\'What should I give so that she won\'t leave me?\'
But now, his anger had gone with the wind. Seeing Lisa\'s clothes that already looked unfit for use, her messy hair, her makeup that had faded to make her face look disheveled, made Oscar\'s heart ache.
The man\'s heart had never been this hurt.
Over time, Lisa\'s sobs died down listening to Oscar\'s comforting words. Her body felt warm from the man\'s embrace and her chest was no longer filled with the smell of fresh blood, but the masculine perfume that Oscar was wearing.
The clock on the dashboard showed it was half past 12 at night when the car stopped in front of the ER. Without thinking, Dani immediately rushed out of the car carrying Vira in his arms.
Lisa doesn\'t care about her current appearance anymore. The woman also got out of the car, gripped Oscar\'s coat to cover herself, and followed Dani from behind in a hurry.
Oscar couldn\'t just come down right away. He was afraid that Dani\'s car would block other vehicles from visiting the ER. Finally, the man moved to the seat behind the wheel and parked the car first.
Since the bleeding in Vira\'s body did not stop, the nurses and doctors who worked on the night shift decided to take the woman to the operating room. Her forehead was covered with blood, the back of her head couldn\'t stop bleeding, and her body was covered with bruises.
Lisa stood in front of the operating room door and sobbed again. In the quiet and cold hospital hallway, she couldn\'t stop blaming herself.
Oscar lightly kissed her forehead and then turned the woman\'s body. She helped Lisa put on his coat properly and fixed the buttons. While saying consoling words, the man wiped the tears from the woman\'s cheeks.
"Don\'t worry, the doctor will definitely save Vira."
Lisa looked up, "Oscar, it\'s all my fault! If I had come earlier and brought Vira home, she would be fine by now! I\'m a murderer, Oscar, I killed her…"
"Hey, hey, don\'t blame yourself like that. It\'s those jerks who hurted her, not you. I know what you meant. You go out at nights like this just to pick up Vira to go home. So please don\'t blame yourself." Oscar said quietly.
Hearing that made Lisa\'s sobs even more intense. The woman\'s cries were so loud that several nurses asked her to lower her voice.
"Sorry ma\'am, it\'s getting late, and there are some patients who need some time to rest."
Oscar hid Lisa\'s face in his chest, "I\'m sorry."
Then he took Lisa to sit near the operating room and kept stroking the woman\'s back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dani walking towards them carrying a medium-sized plastic bag.
"Drink first, Mr. Oscar and Mrs. Lisa." Dani kindly said as he opened the plastic bag. He took out two bottles of water and placed them near the couple.
But neither Lisa nor Oscar gave any signs that showed they wanted to drink it. It was only when Lisa\'s sobs subsided and her breathing started to get difficult from stuffy nose that she let go of her hug.
Lisa wiped her tears with her arm. She then accepted the bottle of drink that had been opened by Oscar and drank it, moistening her throat which was dry like the Sahara desert.
Luckily, the wounds on her body weren\'t too serious. To be precise, there were no wounds on her body at all. It\'s just that part of her body was bruised which left blue and purple marks.
One hour, two hours, two and a half hours, and still, Vira\'s operation never finished.
Lisa, Oscar, and Dani faithfully waited near the operating room\'s door. None of them fell asleep. Sometimes the woman would stand, stare at the lamp that was still on, then walk back and forth.
She felt uneasy, unable to sit still.
How is Vira now?
Is she okay?
Various kinds of questions made Lisa awake, not feeling tired at all.
Only when the clock showed 3 am did the lights above the operating room turn off. Not long after, a doctor wearing an all green uniform came out and took off his mask.
"How is my friend?"
