Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Johan finally returned to the office again after a week of absence. When Lisa walked over to her desk, she accidentally ran into him. The man had just come out of the manager's office, the bruises in his eyes after getting a fist from Rangga's are still visible, although not as bad as a week ago. 

When he exchanged glances with Lisa, he smiled kindly as if nothing had happened between the two of them. Johan was really two-faced, Lisa thought. She stared coldly as she put up an arrogant face at him. Lisa was beyond disgusted with a man like Johan, cute on the outside but rotten on the inside.

Since she learned about his dark story from Alia, Lisa put on a tougher face every time she bumped into him, hoping she could keep Johan away so as not to hear his cringe flirt again.

When Lisa was busy with her financial statements, her cell phone vibrated and it broke her concentration at once. Lisa stared at the screen, read the caller's name and picked up the call without thinking.

"Hello, mom? I'm still working right now, can you call later?" Lisa said to her mother. However, the person opposite the phone was not Kumala.

"Hello Lisa, sorry this is Lastri, Kumala's neighbor. Earlier I just visited your mother's house and she fell unconscious at home." The voice of the middle-aged woman sounded broken and anxious. 

Lisa's face, which was flat without expression, suddenly got serious with both eyebrows furrowed and lips slightly gaping, looking surprised. Her hands were shaking so that the cell phone she was holding almost slipped away. She tried to calm herself by taking a deep breath and said, "My mom fell unconscious!? Gosh, where's she now? Which hospital? I'll be right there!"

"Your mother is in RSCM now, dear. I will wait at the hospital, okay?" Lastri answered from across.

"Yes, I'll be right there now. Please take care of mom first before I come. Sorry for being a bother," Lisa said a little reluctantly.

"It's okay dear, I'm next to Kumala now," Lastri replied, trying to calm down.

After closing the call, Lisa immediately asked her manager for permission to leave and visit her mother in Jakarta. Luckily, her manager was so understanding that he allowed Lisa without cutting her salary at all.

Arriving at the RSCM Jakarta, Lisa immediately ran to find the room where her mother was being treated. Then she got a message from her mother's cell phone number, telling her that Kumala was being treated in room number 102.

With lightning speed, Lisa ran across the corridor of the hospital, ignoring other people who were passing by. Without knocking on the door, Lisa immediately broke into room 102, only to find her mother lying languidly on the bed. Kumala's face was pale as if she was drained of blood.

Lastri then got up from where she was sitting and approached Lisa with a worried face. 

"Lisa, thank goodness you came. Your mom just fell asleep. The doctor gave her sleeping pills. You don't need to worry, dear," Lastri said while patting Lisa's shoulder as if she were her own child.

"Thank you very much for bringing my mom and accompanying her while I wasn't around. Mrs. Lastri can go home now, let me take care of my mom," said Lisa.

"Alright, I hope your mother gets well soon, dear." Lastri immediately turned around and opened the door, walking out of the hospital with a face that still looked worried half to death.

After a few minutes, a doctor came inside with a paper and a document. The man approached Lisa and explained why Kumala fell unconscious.

"Your mother's condition is stable, it's just that she needs a few days of rest and treatment here. Her diabetes recurred, preferably after your mother was discharged from the hospital to be treated after at home. Don't leave your mother alone at home without anyone watching. I'm afraid that a relapse could be more fatal than this at any time."

Lisa listened to the doctor's explanation carefully. She sharpened her listener's senses as she focused on staring at the doctor's face.

"Your mother's diabetes is under control. Fortunately, this hospital just got a supply of imported drugs for acute diabetes sufferers so they don't have to dialysis frequently. But of course, the price of the medicine is not cheap. I hope your mother will have a government assistance card to reduce medical expenses," the doctor frankly explained.

"No problem, we don't have a government assistance card but I will pay for everything my mother needs," Lisa replied without hesitation.

After the doctor left room 102, only Lisa was left beside Kumala who was now seen sleeping soundly, Lisa started calculating her mother's medical expenses on her cellphone. The cost of drugs and hospitalization is roughly tens of millions of rupiah. Lisa began to think hard, where would she get that kind of money?

Suddenly, her head suddenly felt very dizzy. Her vision blurred as if it was twisting around at lightning speed. Her body felt limp and almost made her fall down because she couldn't stand her own weight.

Lisa immediately grabbed onto the chair at the end of room 102. With all her remaining strength, she put her body on it and sighed. She didn't know what had happened lately, but her head was getting lighter and dizzier.

Nausea started to creep into her stomach. Lisa immediately went to the bathroom then vomited all of her stomach contents in the toilet bowl until nothing's left. Strange, she had not eaten all day, but maybe this was what caused her to vomit.

Her mind was getting chaotic, was her body what she was thinking right now? After she relieved her dizziness by drinking the medicine that she kept in her tote bag, Lisa checked her menstrual cycle that she kept on her cellphone.

"Oh no... I was nearly two months late..." Lisa said to herself, looking worried.

Without thinking much, Lisa immediately came to the gynecologist at the hospital and did a check. As a result, Lisa was positively pregnant again. The obstetrician handed her a paper report while congratulating her.

In her heart, Lisa was between happy and afraid. Her mind returned to the old memories before she divorced Oscar. As far as she could remember, she didn't have any sexual intercourse with Oscar before she divorced him, but why did she suspect she was pregnant with Oscar's child again? What should Lisa do with this?

Not to mention the social pressure that she had to face later. If the child she was allegedly carrying at this time was born, Kumala definitely wouldn't remain silent. If Lisa got pregnant out of wedlock like now, Kumala would be very embarrassed.

Lisa had embarrassed her mother many times because of her attitude. She did not want to make her mother feel embarrassed because of her actions so that her illness often recurred. 

But the child in her womb...

Lisa started to get confused.. This was her last chance to have a child. She didn't want a second miscarriage like two years ago!
