Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Two days later, Lisa woke up from a deep sleep. She didn\'t feel anything during her coma period except her long dream. She dreamed that someone came to her and killed the child she was carrying. Lisa fought with the person who tried to murder her baby in order to protect it. But in the midst of a fight, a dazzling light suddenly appeared from the horizon. The light was blinding, causing Lisa to fall and cover her eyes.

Slowly, the bright light grew dimmer. The shadows of the room around her began to clear. Lisa opened her eyes for the first time since she was taken to the emergency room and underwent surgery.

The woman glanced around her, trying to understand her surroundings. She looked at the foreign-looking furniture in amazement. The pungent scent of disinfectant pervaded her sense of smell.

Lisa then realized that she was in a room in the hospital. Seriously, what else could have happened to her, she wondered? She tilted her head to the left side of the bed. She saw a familiar looking woman sitting in the chair next to her.

"Good morning, Lisa! How are you feeling today? Are you feeling comfortable?" The woman softly said.

Lisa narrowed her eyes. Her consciousness had not fully recovered. One of her hands gripped her stomach and felt something was wrong. Her bulge was gone and her stomach returned to flat just like 8 months ago! Lisa was shocked and immediately got up from her sleep. She sat anxiously clutching her flat stomach.

"Ndien! Where is my child!?"

Andien looked at her friend with a sad face. She did not want to answer that question because she did not want to make Lisa\'s heart more chaotic because of it. Lisa just woke up from a two day coma.

Andien then held one of Lisa\'s hands. Her friend\'s hand was so pale and cold that it felt like a corpse. The woman looked at her best friend with teary eyes.

"Ndien, why are you crying? Ndien! Where is my child?" Lisa urged Andien to answer her. She was so worried that she couldn\'t hold back her curiosity anymore. When Andien heard that, tears streamed down her eyes.

"Lis, your child died when he was born. He\'s not strong enough to survive…." Andien explained, although she was aware that she shouldn\'t have said it. At least, not for the moment. But she could not lie to her own friend. Besides, it was also Lisa\'s biological child. How could Andien lie to her? Andien was not married and had no children. But she could imagine what it would be like to hear the news of losing one\'s own flesh.

When she heard the bad news, Lisa felt like she was struck by lightning. She was frozen in bed, staring blankly at the wall in front of her. She then gripped the blanket of the bed tightly as tears began to flow from her eyes.

"No... You\'re lying for sure!"

"Lis, why would I lie to you! If I\'m lying, why do I need to cry like this? I\'m your best friend and I can\'t lie to you, Lis. Your son couldn\'t survive. If you don\'t believe it, just ask the nurse here!"

"No... No ... No way! My child is healthy! There\'s no way my child died, Ndien!" Tears started pouring out of Lisa\'s eyes, rolling down her pale cheeks.

"Lis, I\'m sorry..." Andien immediately hugged Lisa tightly. She knew how broken her friend\'s heart was. Andien then gently stroked her friend\'s back. Their cries broke out, filling the hospital\'s room.

Lisa\'s tongue felt very dry. She could not say anything else and kept crying. She did not think that the child in her womb had died. For eight months she struggled to take care of the baby inside her. Lisa still couldn\'t accept the fact that her child had died. Less than a month and her child would have been born!

"Lis," Andien said, a little stammered. She wiped the tears from Lisa\'s cheeks. "I\'ll call your doctor, okay? I\'ll let him know about you. Wait for me,"

Moments later, a doctor in a white coat and a stethoscope knocked on the door and walked in. The doctor greeted Lisa and checked Lisa\'s heartbeat.

"Miss Lisa is fine. She just needs a lot of rest to recover," the doctor politely explained.

"How about my child, Doc? Is it really…" Lisa asked doubtfully.

"I sincerely apologize for that, Miss Lisa. Your son was unable to survive when our team tried to save him. Your child\'s heart stopped beating twenty hours later," the doctor lowered his head and his voice a little, giving his sympathy to Lisa.

Lisa still couldn\'t believe what she just heard. Her son really died. She was petrified as if that day was her last day living in this cruel and unjust world.

"Miss Lisa, don\'t be discouraged. This accident is not your fault. You are still young, there are still many opportunities to try again. I pray that Miss Lisa will quickly get another child, okay?" The doctor smiled and patted Lisa on the shoulder gently.

"Okay Doc, thank you very much for the prayer."

The doctor then left, leaving Lisa and Andien alone in the room.

Andien sat back in the chair on the left side of the bed and gently stroked her friend\'s shoulder. Her eyes were still swollen from the crying earlier. Andien smiled when she exchanged glances with Lisa.

"Just calm down Lis, there are still many opportunities. You\'re still young. Look on the positive side, you can come back to work again right now. In other companies, of course."

Lisa was a little calmer even though she still couldn\'t believe that she had lost her baby. She returned to lay down her lethargic body.

The woman then stared at the ceiling and closed her eyes.

"Is Oscar here?" Lisa asked spontaneously. She remembered very clearly when she was carried to the ER with Mrs. Rusminah and Mr. Dani accompanied her but she didn\'t see Oscar\'s nose at all!

"Of course he came, Lis! Your husband came when the doctor performed surgery on you. The first day you were in a coma, he accompanied you all the time. Mr. Dani notified me and let me visit you after work," Andien said while feeding porridge for Lisa. "You have to eat so you can recover faster!"

"It\'s strange, I didn\'t see my husband when I was brought to the ER. All I saw was Mrs. Rusminah and Mr. Dani. Where was he?"

"You are in a coma, Lis, it\'s clear that you didn\'t know! Do you want me to call Mr. Dani to call your husband?" Andien asked, taking her cell phone from her bag.

"No, I don\'t want to! I don\'t want to see his face!" Lisa exclaimed. Andien was amazed. Just now, her friend asked Oscar\'s whereabouts and now she refused to meet him?

"Lis, what\'s wrong with you? Mr. Oscar is your husband. Why don\'t you want to meet him?"

"I don\'t know, Ndien. I\'m not in the mood right now. Let me tell you something. If it weren\'t for that bastard Clara, I wouldn\'t have been hospitalized like this. My child would definitely still be alive!"

"What do you mean Clara had to do with your accident?"

"Mrs. Rusminah haven\'t told you yet? That bastard came to my house and pushed me until I fell! This was all Clara\'s doing!"

"Gosh, Lis! You can sue her! Isn\'t this a crime?"

"Yes, but I don\'t have any evidence and the only witness is Mrs. Rusminah."

"Wow, this is really bad, Lis. I\'ll help you tell your husband! What do you think?"

"Don\'t. Don\'t bother, Ndien. I\'m tired of my husband. If it weren\'t for him cheating with that bastard behind my back, Clara wouldn\'t disturb my life!"

Lisa\'s anger started to burn. She gripped the spoon so tightly that the veins on her palms showed.

"Lis, Oscar still cares about you. He always came to accompany you when you were still in a coma. Isn\'t it the proof that he paid attention to you?" Andien asked, trying to comfort Lisa and ease her heart a little.

"Enough, I no longer want to discuss my husband. Sorry."

Andien was silent for a moment. It was better for her not to talk about her friend\'s husband any longer. Besides, Lisa needed a lot of rest.

"Alright Lis, I\'ll go to the office first, okay? I\'ll come back here later to accompany you. You just sleep.. Don\'t forget to eat!" Andien got up from her seat and waved at Lisa.
