COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 70

“How is Tang Hebe?” asked Raelle as she was reminded that she would have been in an even worse condition if someone hadn’t pushed her.

Shui Xian gave her the details as much as he knew. “The doctors said she’ll wake up soon. So, don’t worry about it.”

“What about Tang Hebe?” asked Hyson in confusion.

“Be nice to her, she saved my life,” told Raelle.

“I have always been a nice person,” said Hyson. “But since she saved my Jiejie’s life, I’ll try to be extra nice to her.”

“And what about your work?” asked Raelle.

“I don’t know,” Hyson lowered his head as he recalled how irresponsibly he just ran back home.

“You didn’t even tell anyone.”

“Hehehe…” was the only response Hyson could get out right now.

“That’s very irresponsible behavior,” said Raelle.

“So what?” retorted Hyson. “When it comes to my Jiejie, I’d rather choose my feelings over anything.”

*Knock! Knock!*

There was a knock at the door and all of them looked towards the door when it was pushed open. Cloe took half a step inside and seeing Raelle looking at her, she let out a breath of relief. Hearing that Raelle was fine and seeing it with her own eyes were two different things.

However, as she stepped closer to Raelle, she noticed how pale Raelle’s complexion was. Not only that, she looked so fragile. But at least, she didn’t look vulnerable like last night. She definitely wasn’t used to seeing Raelle as someone weak or vulnerable. To her, Raelle was always the strong one. The complete package of OP (overpowered).

“Is there something, Cloe?” asked Raelle.

“Chief, how are you doing?”

“I’m fine,” replied Raelle. “You look worse than me though.”

Only then did Cloe look down and realized she was still clad in the dress she wore last night. She only washed up her face after her makeup was messed up from crying so much. But her hair wasn’t properly tied and she hadn’t slept all night. Her eyes were still puffy from crying even though she used an ice pack just before coming here. And the redness in her eyes hadn’t faded as well.

So, as Raelle just said, Cloe indeed looked worse than Raelle. At least, Raelle looked like a delicate beauty in this state but Cloe was a whole different story.

Cloe laughed awkwardly to bypass that fact Raelle pointed at. But seriously, one should always count on her boss to say things at the wrong time.

“How much did you cry?” asked Raelle startling Cloe.

Cloe looked at Shui Xian with an accusatory gaze while Shui Xian raised his hands in defense and shook his head. He hadn’t got around to mentioning that he saw Cloe crying. And why would he tell his wife that he ended up making her assistant cry?

“Don’t look at my husband, he didn’t say anything,” said Raelle. “I’m not blind yet.”

Cloe rubbed her nose and smiled at Raelle, “Something went into my eyes so I ended tearing up a little.”

“Liar, liar pants on fire!” that came from Hyson who gave Cloe an amused look.

Cloe pursed her lips. Urgh! She couldn’t even bring herself to yell at this guy!

Raelle didn’t tease Cloe anymore. She understood Cloe and knew that she must have cried worrying about her. It made her give Cloe a mental nod of approval. It was worth looking out for this woman. She was certainly a loyal person to keep beside her.

“What is up?” asked Raelle.

Cloe pushed a plastic bag towards Raelle, “This is what Anna sent for you. She said she found it at the accident scene.”

Raelle nodded her head and took out whatever was inside the plastic bag. Oh, it turned out to be her phone that had turned off by now. But there was another phone there. She assumed it to be Tang Hebe.

Actually, she didn’t even have to assume it. Once she pressed the lock button, the screen lit up and she was able to see the photo of Tang Hebe with her little son. It was Raelle’s first time seeing that little boy and for some reason, her eyes lingered on that boy’s face until the screen went black again.

“Did you hear anything else from her?”

Cloe shook her head, “No, Chief. You already know that Miss Anna won’t answer me. She either listens to you or Miss Mu Chenyan. The rest of the world can go to hell for all she cares.”

“Indeed, she is just that particular,” agreed Raelle. “Is there anything else?”

“No,” said Cloe.

“What about my Yanyan?” asked Raelle.

“I didn’t tell anyone,” said Cloe. “Except for the two people beside you. One of them even coerced me into telling the truth.”

Raelle looked at Hyson who scratched his head, not willing to meet her eyes right now.

“That’s good. Then you should go back home to rest for a while.”

“But Chief…”

“You haven’t slept all night. Go and take a rest. You can come back after that and look after Tang Hebe. Now, I can’t go over to do that in my condition. Even if I want to, my husband won’t let me go.”

“Yes,” Cloe nodded and turned to leave.

“Yanyan doesn’t know?” asked Hyson.

“Don’t you think it’s too quiet here?” asked Raelle. “Why do you think that is?”

Hyson nodded his head as he agreed, “Right, it’s too quiet. It’d be chaos in the hospital if Yanyan really knew about it.”

Raelle gave her phone to Shui Xian, “Help me charge this.”

“And charge your own phone as well,” added Hyson. “It almost gave me another heart attack when I couldn’t even reach you, Xian Ge.”

Only then did Shui Xian check his phone and found out that it was indeed turned off. He nodded, “I should charge it and call Bà. He must be wondering why we didn’t come back home last night.” Then he looked at Raelle, “Do you want me to tell him the truth?”
