Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

After his work in the office was done, Oscar rushed to visit Bryan again. In the past two days, Bryan's office felt like his second home. Every night, he always took refuge in the room that was quite spacious while being examined.

Just like that afternoon, Oscar parked his car and saw Bryan already waiting for him at the hospital's entrance. 

Seeing Oscar's face, which was getting paler than yesterday, made Bryan frown. The man waved his hand and immediately led Oscar into his room without saying much.

"Take off your clothes," Bryan ordered as he closed the door to his room, "I want to see how your wound is progressing."

Oscar's face really looked like a zombie this time. In addition to the wound that never healed, the man had trouble sleeping every night because of the pain. He didn't know how many painkillers he took, but the results were the same. 

"Oh my God.. Why don't you just take a day off?"

Instead of the bruises on Oscar's body getting better, the man's bruises actually looked even more terrible. I don't know what happened, it was clear that Oscar's back and body were covered in purple and blue leading to green. Not to mention that the wound on his back was still oozing fresh blood until it almost penetrated his work shirt.

Bryan sighed and took the cotton and alcohol he had prepared on the table. Opening the bottle of alcohol, he said, "I told you to take a day off. You are the CEO of that company, you should be able to take a day off at any time!"

"What if your wound doesn't heal and you're going to die soon?" Bryan grumbled in disbelief.

"Bryan," the voice that escaped Oscar's pale lips sounded weak, "You have no idea what happened to my company. Some of the biggest shareholders started to leave my company because they didn't think my company was profitable for them. Besides, my uncle has started to move."

Bryan continued to smear Oscar's wet wound with alcohol while listening to his explanation.

Several years ago, Bryan accidentally ran into Oscar and brought the man out of the dark. He promised a happy and bright life if the man would listen to his advice. 

The first time Bryan met Oscar, the man looked like an idiot who didn't know facial expressions. Oscar never smiled, laughed, cried, and hadn't even said a word to him for a month or two.

As time went on, Oscar began to open up to him. The man was about to leave the room that Bryan had prepared for him. He started to learn to answer Bryan's trite questions, such as how did he sleep last night and so on. 

Over the years, Oscar began to study the business world. With his above average intelligence, the man has proven himself that he is capable of leading a company. He often experienced ups and downs in his life.

Sometimes, whenever Bryan saw the Oscars in the newspapers, magazines, or sometimes the news on TV, he wanted to call the stubborn man and ask him to take a break. But Bryan didn't do that. For one, Oscar was a stubborn man. And second, he didn't want to control his life.

But now, seeing Oscar's battered body and the hideous look on his face, Bryan regretted his actions. He should have followed his heart and contacted Oscar often.

Bryan couldn't bear to blame Oscar because he couldn't take care of himself. Knowing what Oscar had to go through every day made the man keep his mouth shut.

After changing the white bandage on his back, Bryan said, "I'm asking you to take the next two days off. No more working before healing, ok? Just two days. If you refuse and don't want to do what I tell you, I can't guarantee your recovery."

"Don't move too much. I've prepared a folding bed here for you to spend the night here again. But I can't seem to be with you tonight, because my babies are still waiting for me in the experiment room."

What Bryan meant by babies were some liquids that he hoped would be useful for curing tumors. He's been doing the experiment with several other doctors for 2 months. And until now, the experiment has not found a bright spot.

"Don't bother, looks like I'm going to sleep at home," Oscar replied as he put his work shirt back on, "I haven't seen Lisa for two whole days! If I don't see her today, I think I might go crazy."

"Ha ha ha," Bryan mocked with a laugh that sounded very dry. "Indeed, married men are different. His mind is only filled with his wife and children!"

Bryan told Oscar to sit in his room for a while since he still had to check on Dani's progress. Like an obedient child, Oscar sat quietly in Bryan's work chair.

"Sit here for a while, I just want to see how Dani is doing now. You know..." Bryan turned around and took off his rubber gloves, "Dani's been hot since yesterday. At 4 pm yesterday, I already gave him fever-reducing medicine, so hopefully the fever has gone down."

Oscar just cleared his throat and watched Bryan come out of his cold room.

Since two days ago, Dani had woken up even though the man's eyes looked blank on the first day. Because his ribs were broken and the man had to undergo major surgery, his body temperature had risen drastically since yesterday. But fortunately, apart from that, Dani's body condition is fine.

"Yes, this is because I exercise every day." Dani replied when Bryan praised him for his fast healing process. "Not like you who continue to languish in your room."

Bryan rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

As expected by Bryan, Dani's body temperature has returned to normal. The man was so sound asleep that he didn't have the heart to wake him up and tell him that Oscar was in the hospital. 

When Bryan returned to his room, the man could only chuckle in annoyance. He saw that the leather chair Oscar had been sitting on was empty. There was no sign of his presence in the room.

Luckily, Bryan didn't decide to wake Dani. 

"Oh my gosh, this one is so hard to tell." Bryan grumbled. He closed the door to his room with his foot and continued, "Looks like he really is in love with his wife...."
