COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 8 Episode 89

While Shui Xian and Raelle were lost in their own world, they didn’t notice that someone had been sitting on the other side listening to them all this while. Tang Hebe’s face was lowered and no one could tell what expression she wore at the moment. She had been sitting on the other side of the tree from the moment she talked with Shui Xian.

She always had this habit of hiding behind a tree whenever she felt sad or upset. Hugging her knees, she would sit under the tree and cry her heart out. But today, even though her heart felt heavy after listening to Shui Xian’s words, she couldn’t cry.

It was as if a part of her heart was unwilling to cry. No matter how painful it felt, she didn’t want to shed any tears. And that made her realize how time had really passed. Perhaps she had cried enough in the memories she couldn’t recall; now, even her body was unwilling to drop a single tear.

It was ironic how the person who would always come to find her was today sitting with another person on the other side of the tree and planning his wedding. She should have left instead of listening to those two flirting so openly, but she didn’t want to move.

Tang Hebe was actually very surprised when she heard Shui Xian humming that cheesy song to Raelle. In her memory, Shui Xian was a perfectionaist. He had OCD when it came to music. Music was his passion and he always took it very seriously. But today she just heard him singing like any other random person in love. Without a care for the tune, he just used the words that came to him to let out his feelings.

That was something he never had done before.

He’d never even let her hear his incomplete compositions because he said, he wanted to perfect every tune before playing it for her. She couldn’t even count the number of times he had serenaded her with his guitar. But the feeling was different.

At that time, he was playing like a musician. Today, he was just a man in love.

Tang Hebe leaned her head against the tree and closed her eyes as she continued to hear their plans for the wedding. Although it sounded like they were planning their wedding together, she could tell that Shui Xian was the one doing everything, Raelle didn’t even know what happened at a wedding.

Not gonna lie, she almost choked on her saliva when she heard Raelle say that the only thing to look forward to in a wedding was the wedding night. She had to say, this girl said whatever she wanted and from Shui Xian’s reaction, it could be seen that he was not even surprised by it. He’d definitely know what she was like.

“You’ve really started a new chapter of your life,” she muttered to herself. And as she accepted that, she actually felt very light in her heart and a genuine smile spread on her face subconsciously. She touched the bandage around her head and sighed, “Then why is my brain forcing me to look back at the old chapters of life? I have to see where I stand in this timeline. And I really hope, I’m not stuck on you, Xian.”

When she noticed that Shui Xian and Raelle left, she stood up from the grass and patted her hospital gown before coming out of behind the tree. She looked at their backs as they walked towards the hospital with a deep look in her eyes.

“Ellie!”

Raelle looked up at Hyson who was rushing towards her.

“Can’t you stay in your ward? I almost got a heart attack,” said Hyson as he fixed his mask when he noticed how a few teenagers were looking at him. He passed a cup to her, “Here, I brought you some red grape juice. It’s healthy and refreshing.”

“Thanks,” said Raelle. She took the plastic cup and put the straw between her lips before taking a sip. “It’s good.”

“I know, right?”

“You didn’t make it, what are you proud of?” questioned Raelle.

“But I brought it, I deserve the credit for that,” said Hyson matter-of-factly.

“Okay, Mr. Delivery man!”

“Hey!” Hyson was definitely not happy with that name. “Have you ever seen a handsome deliveryman like me?”

“Yes,” she replied.

“Where?” he asked.

Raelle pointed at him, “Here.”

Shui Xian pursed his lips and turned his face away to hide his laughter. He definitely won’t end well if either of these two best friends saw him laughing.

Hyson tsked at her since he couldn’t do anything else to her. His sharp eyes found someone and he raised his arm to greet, “Oh hi, Ms. Tang!”

Tang Hebe didn’t think she’d get caught after hiding for so long and that too by Hyson. She obviously had quite an impression of this young man who was so lively and bright.

Raelle also turned around but at the same time, someone walked past her and bumped into her arm. The glass shook in her hand and the red juice ended up spilling all over her hospital gown.

Meanwhile, Tang Hebe who was moving toward them suddenly stopped after seeing this scene. Her feet froze and she couldn’t move anymore. Her eyes were locked on the red patch that was created on Raelle’s light bluish hospital gown. And that image suddenly overlapped with another image in her mind.

White gown, blood…

She suddenly found it hard to breathe and a splitting headache made her yelp in pain. There was fear and unwillingness in her eyes and a palpable sadness as she took a peek at Raelle and screamed. She crouched down on the ground while holding her head startling everyone around her.

Hyson’s eyes widened and he ran toward her to help her. Shui Xian was still standing beside Raelle as he asked, “Are you okay?”

“I just spilled some juice,” said Raelle. “It’s no big deal. But she doesn’t seem fine. What happened?” She suddenly recalled something and said, “Why is her reaction the same as at the time of our accident?”
