Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 661 Not Possible

Shui Xian heard Cloe's words and really thought he was a jerk for shouting at her. Obviously, she was also worried about Raelle but he just had to snap at her. He went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face repeatedly. He did it in a way that even his hair and shirt got wet but he didn't seem to care at all.

Pushing his hair back, he went back to the hallway. Realizing something, he asked, "Cloe, you didn't inform anyone else about this?" He obviously won't think that no one cared enough to show up. The only reason the hallways were so empty had to be the fact that no one knew about Raelle's accident until now.

Cloe was still sobbing silently but she still told him, "Chief's order. She told me to only call her husband."

"Oh," was the only thing Shui Xian said.

"Your wife must have only wanted you here," added Cui Xukun.

Shui Xian gave him a look, "It's nothing like that. She just thinks I'm easier to handle than the rest. Besides, she is a principled person. Since it's a responsibility of a wife to not hide things from her husband, she is definitely gonna tell me everything."

Cui Xukun didn't expect to hear such an answer.

But Shui Xian wasn't lying either. Indeed, Raelle would rather have to deal with Shui Xian than the others. Even he knew that once Mu Chenyan or Grandfather Xiang or even his own Bà learned about Raelle's accident, it'll become a disaster. He couldn't even imagine how they'd react.

"Are you okay?" he asked Cloe who nodded softly. "Then can you please tell me everything you do know?"

Cloe looked at the desperateness in his eyes and couldn't refuse so she told him everything. Oh, aside from the fact that the other injured person on the scene was his ex-wife, Tang Hebe. She didn't purposely omit this information though. She seemed to just be too focused on all the other details.

"You mean this wasn't actually an accident but it was caused intentionally?" he asked.

"It seems so," she answered, "Chief already told Anna to find the culprit and by now, she must have found the culprit as well."

"Where is Miss Anna?" he questioned.

Cloe shook her head, "Don't know. Even if I called, she won't tell me. She only answers to two people, Chief and Miss Mu. She doesn't even give a face to Elder Xiang. I don't think she'll tell you anything either. Besides, Chief warned her to keep it to herself and she'll deal with it once she wakes up."

As the door of the operating room opened, all of them turned to look at the doctor that walked out. The doctor pulled down his mask and asked, "Which one of you is with the patient?"

Shui Xian came to the doctor and told him, "I am. I'm her husband. Doctor, how is my wife? Is she okay?"

The doctor placed his hand on Shui Xian's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for your loss." Shui Xian's heartbeat almost stopped when he heard that sentence.

"No!" Shui Xian looked at the doctor with a hard gaze. "Nothing can happen to my wife."

"Let me finish," said the doctor. "Your wife had an early miscarriage. The embryo was too small and the impact of the fall was too great. Especially since her pregnancy seemed to be quite unstable already. So, we couldn't save it. I'm sorry for that."

It was as if Shui Xian heard nothing of what the doctor said and asked, "Then what about my wife? Is she okay? Nothing is wrong with her right?"

The doctor was actually surprised seeing how all his attention was on his wife's health and nothing else. Even she felt like this husband really loved his wife and reassured him, "Relax, your wife is fine. She just lost some blood. She'll be fine after the proper recuperation."

"Doctor," Cloe called out to the doctor. "Are you saying that Raelle was pregnant?"

Once Shui Xian learned that Raelle was fine, he finally relaxed. But then he heard Cloe's question and it finally registered in his mind what the doctor just told him earlier. Raelle had an early MISCARRIAGE! What did miscarriage mean? It meant she was pregnant!

"Wait!" Shui Xian looked at the doctor uncertainly. "Are you sure that my wife was pregnant? How is that possible?"

"Why isn't it possible?" asked the doctor, seeing their reactions.

"Because..." Shui Xian went quiet before saying, "We always use protection."

"Was your wife on birth control?" asked the doctor.

"No, I was worried it'll harm her body so we only used condoms," answered Shui Xian.

"Condoms are about 85% effective which means about 15 out of 100 people who used condoms as their only birth control method will get pregnant each year," told the doctor patiently.

Shui Xian counted the days and said, "Her usual cycle is about 34 days. There are still 3 days before her period comes. She didn't even miss a period. How can she be pregnant."

The doctor didn't know what to say to him. Was he really that naive or has he lost his mind right now?

"Your wife had already been about 4 weeks pregnant. Although at this stage, you can't detect the pregnancy through ultrasound scans, you can confirm it through a blood test. About 1/3 or 1/2 of all pregnancies end in miscarriage before a person misses a menstrual period or even knows they are pregnant." Seeing how silent Shui Xian was, the doctor sighed to herself, "We are gonna keep your wife under observation tonight. We'll be shifting her to the ward, later on, then you can meet her. And once you gather your emotions, please come to my office I have to discuss your wife's condition with you."

Shui Xian hardly heard what the doctor said just now. His feelings right now were so complicated that he didn't know how to react to all this information.
