COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 8 Episode 20

“Elle! My little Belle! Good morning!”

Raelle opened her eyes to look at Hyson and seeing that big toothy grin of his, she wondered if this was a really good morning to make him seem so energetic. But she decided not to overthink that. After all, he was always this lively and full of energy.

Raelle closed her eyes again and waved her hand at him saying, “Scram!”

Hyson just laughed at that saying, “You wish!”

As if he was ever gonna take that scram seriously. He’d be the real fool if he did. But luckily, he wasn’t that much of a fool.

“Are you sleepy?” he asked.

“No,” she answered. “But I’m not allowed to do anything so…” She trailed off not knowing how to describe what she was going through.

“So, you feel like the world is conspiring against you,” Hyson worded out her thoughts for her. “And you feel like the day outside isn’t sunny but rather dark.”

“Couldn’t have said it any better myself,” said Raelle.

Hyson went up to her and pinched her cheek, “You do realize that it’s still Sunday. It’s really not like you are skipping work.”

“But I’ll have to,” she said. “No one is gonna let me go to the office. And I don’t even know for how long. I don’t even think my condition is that serious to keep me here in the hospital. Shouldn’t I already be discharged?”

Hyson poked her forehead, “At this point, you’re not the one who decides whether your condition is serious or not.” He pulled off her blanket and held her arm saying, “Forget about that. Get up already. Didn’t I say we’ll go to see Tang Hebe? Come with me.”

“Why are you so eager to meet her?” asked Raelle. “Found her quite interesting?”

Hyson nodded his head like he was pecking on rice, “Is that even a question? If you find her interesting, I’ll feel the same way. We always had this connection.” He took a pause and added, “Xian Ge is with his sister.”

“I know.”

“What happened?” he asked.

Raelle just looked at him and said, “It’s better if you don’t know.”

Hyson pressed his lips together and nodded. If she said it was better for him to not know then he was better off not knowing it at all. Because if Raelle wasn’t willing to share something with him then she definitely had her reasons. And he might be a curious cat, but he still knew his limits.

“Call a nurse and get this thing off of me,” said Raelle as she pointed at her hand where the intravenous drip was attached.

Hyson pressed the button and when the nurse came, he asked her to help Raelle with her IV. Once the nurse left, he helped her in sitting up before he got on one knee and put slippers on her feet. Looking up at her, he smiled and said, “Shall we?”

“Sure,” saying that Raelle got down while Hyson continued to hold her arm. “I can walk on my own.”

“But I can’t walk on my own,” was his response. “I need support. Physical and emotional as well.”

“You? You need emotional support?” questioned Raelle as they walked out of the ward.

Hyson nodded in reply, “Of course. If it wasn’t for your emotional support behind me, I wouldn’t be so carefree in life now. I’d have grown up to be a gloomy and pessimistic lad.”

“I highly doubt that,” she said. “You’re pretty optimistic from the beginning.”

Hyson stuck his tongue out cheekily.

“Hyson…”

“Yes?”

“You’ve been talking about everything except for my child,” she mentioned.

Hyson stiffened once he heard that.

“Why are you all avoiding talking about my child? It almost seems like you are all denying his existence. As if he was just a dream. But he wasn’t.”

Hyson put his arm around her shoulder as he said, “It’s true that I don’t want to talk about the loss of my niece…” Once he looked at Raelle, he added, “Or nephew. I know he was anything but a dream. However, if I talked about him, I’m gonna end up crying again. I don’t want to cry.” He blinked his eyes to push back his tears as he went on, “Just remember, no one is denying his existence. We all have our own reasons for not bringing him up.”

He was silent for a moment before he told her, “Mum took Yanyan to the temple this morning to burn some incense for the child. So, trust me when I say that no one is forgetting him. He was a part of you and Xian Ge, we can’t forget him.”

“That’s good to know,” she said. “Xian also wants to take me to the temple to burn incense.”

Hyson chuckled, “Oh, that’d be a first for you.”

“Indeed, that’d be a first,” she agreed. “I have never even stepped inside a temple before.”

“By the way, your father is now my father,” he told her out of nowhere. Raelle stopped to face him as he grinned, “I am serious.”

“Why? Yue Yue is planning on marrying my father?” asked Raelle.

Hyson laughed out, “Nah. They both are now siblings. How can they marry?”

“Excuse me?”

Hyson laughed even louder as he told her, “So, it happened like this, Yanyan told your father that my mom is her sister. So what does that make my mum of your father? Your father immediately said she is also his sister.”

“Doesn’t that make you my father’s nephew?” asked Raelle.

Hyson shook his head as he grinned with a cunning light in his eyes, “Well, it’s not the case. Because who am I to Yanyan?”

“Godson,” she replied.

“So what does that make me to General Xiang Hulin?”

“Godson?”

“Bingo!” He happily pulled her along saying, “So, I’m your brother from now on.”

“Hyson, you do realize that you have always been a brother to me right?”

Hyson stopped and scowled, “Wait, so why am I going round and round to come to that conclusion? You’re already my Jiejie. What was I so happy about?”

Raelle patted his arm, “Your happiness comes from the point that now your mum has another strong support behind her. No one will be able to bully her ever again.”

“I think you’re right,” said Hyson seriously.

“I always am.”
