Chapter 726 Besotted

At once Cloe and Hyson's eyes widened in shock and in sync, both of them turned their heads towards Raelle. But unfortunately, Raelle's face was as blank as ever. She just sat there with her eyes trained on the interaction between Tang Hebe and the little boy.

*Bzzz*

Raelle looked at her ringing phone and stood up.

"Let's meet again, Miss Tang," said Raelle. "I have to leave now. My husband is looking for me." She gave her a nod and added, "I wish you a speedy recovery."

Tang Hebe wanted to say something to Raelle but the latter was already gone like she was riding the wind. As if she couldn't wait to see her husband. Tang Hebe's heart was unsettled from the time she met Raelle but once she hugged the little boy in her arms, she seemed to forget everything else.

Even if she didn't recognize him, a part of her was still unwilling to part from him.

On the other hand, Raelle went back to her ward and found Shui Xian pacing around. Once he looked at her, he had a fierce look in his eyes. "Where did you go?"

"To see Miss Tang," she replied.

Shui Xian groaned, "Why? Is this even time for you to worry about others? Why don't you first focus on recovering your own health?"

"You look really angry, Hubby," Raelle pointed out.

"Shouldn't I be?" retorted Shui Xian. "You're worrying me so much. I got so scared when I came back and found the room empty."

"Okay, I should have told you before going out," Raelle accepted that it was her fault for leaving just like that. But then again, she didn't think he'll be so angry about this.

Shui Xian called for the nurse who put Raelle back on the IV. He made her lie down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Seeing him fretting over her, Raelle was actually very calm. How could she not be? Only the person doing everything changed from Yanyan to Shui Xian, apart from that everything was the same.

Even her always gentle Yanyan would get mad at her if she moved around when she was sick. And now Shui Xian was following Yanyan's footsteps.

If one says that Raelle had been through a lot worse things in life, it was true. From the moment she was born, life had been a little unfair to her. But life compensated her in the form of all those people who cherished her with all their beings.

Holding her cold hands in his own, Shui Xian looked distressed. "Baby, stop jumping around. You just left the bed for such a short time but see how your hands and feet are so cold now. Do you want to catch a cold?"

"It's so hot outside," said Raelle. "How can I get cold?"

"You'll be surprised," he said while rubbing her hands with his own.

"Mr. Husband..."

"Hm?"

"Miss Tang couldn't bear a child," stated Raelle. "Am I right?"

Shui Xian paused and looked up into her eyes. "Where did you hear that?"

"Does it matter?" asked Raelle. "You insisted the child wasn't yours. There has to be a reason for that, no?"

Shui Xian nodded his head, "It's not like I wanted to hide it from you. It's just that..."

"You don't like talking about people's shortcomings," Raelle completed his sentence for him.

Shui Xian pursed his lips, "To be very honest, I never thought it was a shortcoming." He pinched her hand as he went on, "But you're right. She couldn't bear a child. And that's why I insisted that the child she brought wasn't mine. In fact, that child definitely isn't hers either. But if she is willing to call him her son, then who am I to question it? She always wanted to be a mother so I won't be surprised if she really adopted the boy."

He took a pause before continuing, "In fact, we knew she couldn't bear a child even before we got married." Now that fact really got Raelle's attention. Even knowing that, he chose to marry her? That must be true love. "Don't look at me like that," he said and even put a hand over her eyes to stop her from looking at him. "I know I was besotted. There was no cure for it either. I never thought having a child or not mattered all that much since I loved her and wanted to marry her to spend the rest of my life with her. It didn't mean I never thought of having our own child but after knowing that she couldn't... Well, I thought the child wasn't all that important."

"You could have looked for a surrogate," she mentioned while pulling his hand off of her eyes.

Shui Xian stared into her eyes and said, "We had that discussion once but she was the one who didn't like the idea. So, we never brought it up again."

While Shui Xian had always been telling everyone that a child wasn't in his life plan, he wasn't just lying to everyone around him but to himself as well. He really wanted to be a father. But once he learned that Tang Hebe couldn't be a mother, he dropped the idea. He thought as long as he said he didn't want a child, everything will be okay.

"After seeing her son, Miss Tang thinks you guys finally decided to find a surrogate," told Raelle to him.

Shui Xian sneered, "Oh, she really lost her mind. She was the one who said she didn't want to look for a surrogate." Shui Xian was really feeling like everything was a joke right now. Did he look like he was interested in going through old memories with his ex-wife? Because he wasn't!

Whether good or bad, he didn't feel like recalling any memory. Especially at a time like this when he actually lost his child. He and his wife had yet to grieve their child and yet here they were talking about his ex-wife.
