COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 73

The wooden chopsticks in Mu Chenyan’s hand snapped and it surprised everyone at the table. While Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin were confused, both Yue Yue and Grandfather Xiang looked at her in worry.

All of them knew she was on the phone with Raelle but only Yue Yue and Grandfather Xiang knew what could tick her off. Something happened to Raelle. That was something they were certain about.

“Bring Opa and Yue with you,” added Raelle.

Mu Chenyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “What happened?”

“I’ll tell you once you come,” answered Raelle. “I’m not saying anything over the phone.”

Mu Chenyan said, “Then you wait. I’ll be right there.” The only reason she was able to listen to Raelle after she was at the hospital was that it was Raelle who had called her. Which really comforted her that at least, it seemed her Elle was fine. But if it had been anyone else telling her that Raelle was at the hospital, she’d have already done something… For instance, burning the whole world down?

Okay! That was an exaggeration but she certainly would have felt like doing it.

“What happened?” asked Grandfather Xiang.

Mu Chenyan had already forgotten about breakfast as she stood up to leave but had to stop when Grandfather Xiang asked that question. She looked at him with a complicated look in her eyes. It’s not like she could hide it from him but she wasn’t sure if she should really tell him considering his health.

As if he read her mind, Grandfather Xiang said, “I’m still strong enough. Just tell me already.”

“Elle is in the hospital,” she stated.

“What?” The reaction was intense from everyone. Even Yue Yue stood up in worry and stared at Mu Chenyan wide-eyed.

Mu Chenyan looked at their reaction and sighed, “But I don’t know the details. She only said she’ll tell me once I get there. So, I have to go there. My Elle needs me right now.” As she ran off, she didn’t forget to say, “She asked you to come. So, bring Yue with you. I’m leaving first.”

With that, Mu Chenyan was already gone. With a whoosh, you couldn’t even see her figure anymore.

Hurrying to the garage, she chose a car and drove out herself. She didn’t want a driver today. She was in a hurry and she was a better driver wherever she was in a hurry to get somewhere. Because she was in a hurry, as she drove out of the driveway and was about to get on the road, she almost drove right into another car.

Mu Chenyan frowned in annoyance and was about to yell at the driver when the car’s door opened and Shui Koshing got down. Mu Chenyan rolled down the window and looked at him, “You’re also going to the hospital?” She asked the question because she could see how serious and worried Shui Koshing looked right now. She couldn’t think of anything else that could make him look like this right now.

Shui Koshing nodded, “Let me join you.” He waved off his driver while he got inside Mu Chenyan’s car.

“Then fasten your seatbelt, Shing Ge,” was all Mu Chenyan said as a reminder.

And soon Shui Koshing figured out why she reminded him that. Was this a car or a plane? Why was this woman looking for death? What’s with that insane speed?

“I just want to visit the hospital, definitely didn’t wish to become a patient there,” said Shui Koshing as he held his seatbelt tightly.

“Don’t worry. I’m in no hurry to die,” answered Mu Chenyan. “And you should have faith in my driving skills. I even drove a military tank when I was sixteen!”

“Who let you do that?”

“No one,” said Mu Chenyan. “I sneaked out for that.”

“Have you ever done any good things in life?” asked Shui Koshing.

“What’s the fun in being good?” retorted Mu Chenyan.

Shui Koshing closed his eyes and prayed earnestly for his life. Because he believed, that only prayers could help him right now. He really had no faith in Mu Chenyan’s insane driving skills. If he knew how much of a crazy driver she was, he wouldn’t have gotten into her car. But then again, he was also in a hurry to get to the hospital. He had to know what happened to his daughter-in-law!

He was certain they’d be getting some tickets for this crazy speed but Mu Chenyan didn’t give a damn about that. So, he stopped caring either.

The good thing was that she brought them to the hospital in twenty minutes. He didn’t even know which shortcuts she used or how she managed to maneuver the car through that heavy traffic.

Like a bullet, Mu Chenyan ran inside the hospital, leaving Shui Koshing far behind. She found Raelle’s ward and barged right into it.

At the moment, Shui Xian was helping Raelle drink some water while he fussed about almost everything. Hyson sat on the side as well.

“Yanyan!” Raelle called out once she looked at Mu Chenyan who appeared at the door. “You’re here. Where is Opa? And Yue?”

“They’ll come on their own,” replied Mu Chenyan in a trembling voice as she stepped cautiously towards Raelle. Seeing him in that hospital gown, looking so weak and pale, Mu Chenyan’s heart was being squeezed. It hurt her so much to see her Elle like this.

She had always done everything to protect her. But why was it that she was still a failure? Why?

Mu Chenyan lifted her hand, trying to touch Raelle’s head but she stopped herself. As if she was scared to even touch her right now. She had already condemned herself to the deepest part of hell for not being able to do her job right. Why was she drinking so happily while her Elle was in the hospital?

Raelle held her hand and told her, “I’m fine.”

Hearing that sentence, as if a dam just broke out and Mu Chenyan’s tears fell uncontrollably.
