Master's Untamed Wife

*Chuff-Chuff-Chuff*

Hearing the chuff of the helicopter blades, Xiang Weimin looked up. He couldn't be more familiar with the sound of those blades. What surprised him was that currently, a dozen helicopters were flying overhead. They seemed to know they were here.

He looked down at Hyson whose eyes curled like a devilish fox who was proud of some kind of achievement. And indeed Hyson was feeling really great. There was a reason why he was so proud of his friendship. It was simple, he knew he could depend on Raelle. And that girl would never let him down. That's just the kind of person she was.

If one puts their faith in her, she'd do anything to never let them down.

Xiang Weimin's gaze towards Hyson turned complicated as he asked, "Who are you exactly?"

Hyson pointed at his nose, "Me?" Shrugging his shoulders he added, "I'm just a normal guy who had an abnormal friend. Oops, sorry! I mean, I have a rich best friend." Then he laughed at his own words. He patted Xiang Weimin's shoulder who flinched because of the pain but Hyson couldn't see it for now. "Comrade, let's get out of here now."

As he said that, several men with flashlights pointed in his direction. They had just come down from the helicopter to check on his situation. Hyson waved at them as he called out, "Here! We need help here!"

"Young Master, are you alright?" asked one of the men while the other turned on his communication device to brief the others about the situation here.

Hyson's lips twitched when he heard that 'Young Master.' He really didn't like being addressed in this way. But he couldn't do anything about it. Since he was important to Raelle Xiang, everyone around her took it upon themselves to make sure to treat him with respect.

"My friend here is injured," said Hyson ignoring the matter of being called 'Young Master' for now. He had more important things to focus on for now.

Within fifteen minutes, both Hyson and Xiang Weimin had moved to the helicopter and flew out of this god-forsaken place. Hyson already didn't like cold, and after this experience, he was certainly gonna hate it even more.

The helicopter took them to the best hospital in the vicinity and it was actually two hours away from the remote village. This town seemed to have all the facilities that a normal city would. Xiang Weimin and Hyson were both sent to the examination room.

Hyson, however, wasn't inclined on getting an examination as he told them, "Focus on him. He is the injured one. I'm as fit as one can be."

One of the men stepped up to say politely, "Young Master, it's President Raelle's order to get you an examination. We are just following the orders. Please, don't make it difficult for us."

When he heard that Hyson stopped resisting, he knew he couldn't get out of it now. Raelle won't let him get out of this so easily. Hyson rubbed his forehead and said, "I'll do it. Just keep an eye on my friend. I think he is injured heavily. So make sure he receives proper treatment here."

"Rest assured, we'll do our best to provide him with the best here."

Only then Hyson went to go through an examination. Behind him, the leader called Raelle and informed her, "Yes, President Raelle, we just sent Young Master to get an examination. We'll keep you updated."

"Tell him to call him when he is out," replied Raelle.

"Yes!"

Unlike what Hyson had been saying, he actually had gotten some injuries. Rolling down from such a height obviously was supposed to leave some scars on him. Although he physically seemed fine, all his injuries were internal. And internal injuries were usually not only difficult to treat but also more painful.

After the examination, he was shifted to the ward where Xiang Weimin was. Hyson looked at him and asked the doctor, "How is he?"

"Something sharp pierced through his thigh and he broke a rib. Apart from that were some flesh wounds that incurred because he fell down from a height."

Hyson looked at Xiang Weimin in concern and asked, "But he'll be fine, right?"

The doctor glanced at Xiang Weimin before saying, "Lieutenant seems to be quite tough. He'll be fine after resting for a month or two." Then the doctor gave Xiang Weimin a look, "And I hope, Lieutenant doesn't compromise on resting. That'd be quite dangerous for your health."

Xiang Weimin gave him a nod, "I'll take note of that."

After the doctor walked out, Hyson said, "Lieutenant? What is your rank exactly?"

"Let me formally introduce myself," said Xiang Weimin. "I'm Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin."

"Wow!" Hyson looked at his face and suddenly paused a little. "That name sounds oddly familiar now that I'm hearing again. And adding on your face..." A very familiar face flashed past Hyson's eyes but he shook it away. "No way! I can't possibly have such a coincidence."

Xiang Weimin didn't know what Hyson was muttering to himself but he seemed to be in disbelief.

Hyson turned his head and stared at Xiang Weimin once again. Earlier because of the darkness and because of dirt, he couldn't see Xiang Weimin's face clearly. But now that Xiang Weimin had been cleaned up, his handsome face could be seen. He had a sharp gaze and he gave off a heroic spirit.

But this face had a resemblance with his best friend. They even shared the same last name. And he suddenly recalled that Raelle's elder brother's name was also Xiang Weimin. Even if he wanted to deny it now, he couldn't do so. He indeed got into such a bizarre coincidence.

*Knock!*

With a knock, Hyson was pulled out of his daydreaming and looked at the person who walked inside. The man passed him the phone, "President Raelle would like to talk to you."

Hearing 'President Raelle' Xiang Weimin's brows furrowed up slightly and he looked over. Hyson was already paying attention to the phone so he didn't see the look on Xiang Weimin's face. He looked like he was expecting something.

Hyson held the phone against his ear and started first, "Before you start insulting me, I'm telling you, I just got back from the door of death."

"So?" retorted Raelle calmly.

Hyson licked his lips and his voice softened, "So, please go easy on the insults. My heart is still stuck in my throat."

"Hyson, do you know what your doctor just said?" asked Raelle in reply.

"I don't know," answered Hyson honestly. "The doctor didn't tell me anything."

"You sprained your ankle, your whole body is covered in black and blue. You have received some internal injury that will take a couple of weeks to heal. Although the strain on your ankle isn't serious, it'll still take some time to heal. Now, tell me, what am I supposed to do with this knowledge?"

Hyson bit his lips, he didn't think his situation was anything serious. He honestly couldn't feel that much pain. "You can do whatever you want to do with this knowledge, just don't tell Mum."

"I can't lie to her," replied Raelle.

"Who is asking you to lie?" retorted Hyson. "If she won't ask, you don't say. It's as simple as that. You certainly can keep your mouth shut for now, can't you?"

"What's the point?" asked Raelle. "She'll eventually know about it."

"Ellie!" exclaimed Hyson. "Can't you understand it? She is enjoying herself for the first time in years. I don't want her to leave everything and rush back just because of me. Don't you think I've held her back enough already?"

Raelle was silent for a minute before she replied, "Fine. I won't say it unless she asks about you. But I won't lie if she did ask." Hyson heaved a sigh of relief and she went on, "Now, would you like to tell me what happened? How did you end up in a situation where you'd need my help?"

"I lost my way," answered Hyson. "Then my foot twisted and I fell down. What else could happen?"

"It's as simple as that?" she questioned.

"Yes, what else would be there?"

Raelle didn't believe his words for a second. No, she didn't think he was lying but she also knew him well enough to say that he wasn't seeing the situation from the right angle. She needed to do something about this.

"The security team will stay with you for now."

"What?!" Hyson almost yelled at the top of his lungs. "You brought these babysitters for me? I don't need them!"

"Stop behaving like a baby then," replied Raelle and Hyson instantly went on mute mode. "Let me look into this situation for now and I'll tell you where we are going from this."

Hyson frowned at her words. He actually understood her meaning loud and clear, "Elle, why are you taking this so seriously? It was just an accident. I'm telling you."

"Accidents don't just happen, Hyson," responded Raelle. "You should stay out of it. Just focus on recuperating."
