Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"Everything went well. I've already managed to find Jenny because of Cleo."

Entire pairs of eyes turned to Cleo.

Daniawan seemed most interested.

"What have you done, Cleo? Why didn't you ever tell us and brag about it?"

Oscar answered nonchalantly.

"You know how Cleo is, Uncle. She is a very humble woman and never boasts of her kindness!"

Sofia wondered where Oscar's praise and confidence had come from.

Oscar looked at everyone in turn as the maids helped everyone prepare their dinner.

Lily also didn't understand what Oscar was talking about. Christina and Kiky showed not many different looks. They put on the same confused face.

Harry sighed.

"Very simple. I've managed to get Jenny to Mul, sorry, I mean the second uncle. They are in Switzerland. Jenny is Julia. Julia is Cleo's close friend. We could consider Julia as Jenny. It's all thanks to Cleo."

Oscar felt as if he was watching a drama.

About a daughter was finally found by her biological father after disappearing or being kidnapped when she was a child.

Jenny's fate was exactly the same as that touching story.

The Daniawan family also showed a similarly touched look.

Lily burst into tears.

"I'm glad my little nephew gets to hang together with his dad and us."

Christina looked at everyone in turn. The longest gaze, she pointed it at Oscar.

"So how much longer will we be able to meet her?"

Oscar glanced at Cleo.

"You can ask Cleo of that. Because they often talk on the phone. You can also demand Cleo take her to see you."

Cleo responded nervously to the toss of great responsibility.

"I'll talk to her about this later. When the opportunity comes."

Kiky expressed the same relief as his entire family.

"I'm happy when our problems are quickly resolved, Sis. And I don't expect new troubles to come to disturb our happiness."

Oscar could feel the pity gaze on Sofia's face.

Oscar cleared his throat softly as he glanced at Cleo.

"I have good news about Cleo."

Cleo's face suddenly turned red. Sofia looked at Cleo's shy gaze as a small consolation amid her arid heart.

Oscar raised his hand to avoid Cleo's touch. Tossing some of his hair back.

"Cleo is pregnant. She will become a mother. Then you guys should congratulate her."

Cleo corrected, "On us, of course!"

Oscar just smirked.

Sofia did not stop watching Oscar by accuracy.

Everyone who had just heard this exciting news rejoiced.

"This is the most encouraging news for some recent time. Congratulations on your pregnancy, Cleo. And always take care of your baby-to-be."

Cleo nodded cheerfully.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Lily joined in the cheering. Christina smiled proudly.

"I can't wait for the birth of my first niece. I will continue to pray for your health."

Kiky nodded in agreement several times.

Sofia looked at Cleo with pleasure.

"Eat a lot, please, honey. And choose whichever food you like!"

Cleo nodded slightly.

Oscar stopped his mouthful when Sofia glanced at him meaningfully. Oscar digested the intent of Sofia's commanding gaze so well.

Oscar got some side dishes for Cleo.

"Grandma's words are right, Cleo. You have to eat a lot and be nutritious. So that our child in your womb is healthy and grows perfectly."

Oscar's attention invites Christina's envy.

Everyone looks happy.

But when Sofia took the time to talk both with Oscar. Sofia no longer hides her cold attitude towards Oscar.

"I admire your acting talent, Oscar. You should have been an actor long ago and followed in your father's footsteps."

Oscar smiled wryly as the two of them purposely used the terrace to get some fresh air. The night breeze even made Oscar feel much better. After he continued to feel stuffy around Harry's extended family.

"You know more than anyone else that I couldn't live with that bright future because of my mother."

Sofia's gaze softened slightly.

"Do you still hate your mother? You still can't accept her getting in the way of your childhood dream and marrying a man you don't approve of?"

Oscar averted his gaze.

He turned to the side and noticed the wide flower garden below them.

"Are you still really like gardening? Is that why the flowers in your garden look so beautiful and suitable to be the object of my painting?"

Sofia followed Oscar's gaze for a moment.

Instead, Oscar failed to live up to his big hopes of becoming an actor. Oscar eventually chose to become a painter. And Sofia had bought Oscar's handmade paintings by several times.

Sofia nodded.

"You can paint my beautiful garden and gift the painting to me."

Oscar smiled faintly.

"I'll do it another time. And charge the fees."

Oscar's dark eyes looked straight at Sofia

"How is his condition? Has there been any progress and signs of awakening?"

Sofia realized Oscar was talking about Harry's condition.

The gloomy look returned to Sofia's gaunt face. She had not checked again how much weight she had lost after this incident. Her mind kept getting muddled and drifting all over the place.

Oscar seemed to have figured out the answer when he saw Sofia's gloomy face.

"His conditions are still the same. He was still in a coma and showed no signs of coming to his senses. The doctor only advised the family to be more patient and see his progress for some time to come. They said they had made various efforts. But the result is always an absurd sentence that was difficult for them to confirm."

Oscar rubbed his face.

He wished Harry a speedy recovery and a speedy recovery so Oscar wouldn't have to take his place again. Cleo approached them after not finding them in any room. Cleo stared in surprise at Sofia and Oscar.

"Who's sick, Grandma? Why does grandma look so worried? Are that guy's injuries so severe?"

Sofia and Oscar had sudden mild heart attacks.

Both of their eyes widened. Nervousness was evident in Oscar's unsettled eyes. He kept glancing at Sofia for an excuse. Sofia had a hard time letting go of her guilt.

"One of Harry's distant cousins, Cleo. He just had a car accident. He is currently lying in a coma in the hospital."

Oscar secretly admired Sofia's fluency in stringing lies. They both looked similar in terms of deception.

Cleo nodded in understanding and didn't ask anymore. Oscar drew a smile line towards him.

"Why are you looking for us? Aren't you having fun chatting with Aunt and Christina?"

"Yes. But now they are making fruit salad. They asked me to find you and grandma to taste it together."

Oscar then led Sofia and Cleo downstairs to the living room. Lily and Christina turned out to have prepared a fruit salad made by them.

An electrocardiograph (ECG) monitor detects changes in cardiac activity in the patient's heart pattern. Shows a heart rate that is initially weak and quite minimal. Changed up at a certain rate suddenly.

The small movement of the patient's finger, who was still unable to regain consciousness in the ICU, followed after him. Balanced by the twitching of the patient's eyes and eyebrows due to reacting to something.

Daniar looked very sleepy and tired.

After being waiting and looking after Harry for over a month. However, Daniar has not found healing and life expectancy in that period.

Daniar also seemed oblivious to this faint response. Because it was already nearing midnight and his focus was getting more and more divided due to the drowsiness he couldn't take anymore.

Daniar then covered Harry's body more.

Made sure Harry was warm and comfortable though Daniar wasn't sure if Harry could feel it or not.

A small movement occurred again. But again, Daniar couldn't see it because she was turning around looking for a seat and wanted to rest.

Everything was back to the silence as before.

There was no sign of different consciousness and breathing as before. The day went by without any other significant incident. Everyone who knew Harry's condition wished him got well.

*** 

In such a conducive situation, Cleo found something new from Harry. She didn't blink and looked at Oscar. He asked a super serious and confusing question.

"You can use your left hand. Are you a lefty?"

Oscar was suddenly shocked when he unconsciously used his left hand to write. He suddenly blinked too. And was silent for a few seconds.

Cleo was still staring at him for a long time.
