Master's Untamed Wife

It wasn't that Raelle thought this much was enough to do. No! Absolutely not!

However, the people in her life would never let her hands get dirty with things like revenge. Raelle had never acted against people in an irrational way. Even if she did, it'd be done lawfully.

But Mu Chenyan was different. She was a lawless person who let her emotions drive her actions. Since she loved Raelle so much, she naturally had been the one to act against everyone who tried to hurt her. And there was no doubt that Hyson held a special place in her life as well.

That's the reason when she learned that Hyson had to get surgery, she had asked Raelle to step out. The only reason she allowed Raelle to act before was that she thought Hyson's injuries weren't life-threatening. Now, it was completely different. She couldn't stay out of it now.

While Raelle will indeed follow her procedure of dragging Xu Hua to court, Mu Chenyan had her own plans. And she didn't want Raelle to be a part of any of it.

"What are you gonna do?" asked Raelle on her way back to the hospital.

"Elle, you don't need to know that," replied Mu Chenyan. "I'm just happy you listened to me. Now, leave the rest to me. You go to the hospital and keep Yue Fai company."

"I'm going there," said Raelle.

"Find a good lawyer for this case," reminded Mu Chenyan. "I'm gonna hang up now."

Although Raelle didn't know what Mu Chenyan was gonna do, she was certain the latter's actions won't be simple.

....

Back in the hospital, after Raelle had left Shui Xian had come to visit Hyson and even he was startled when he learned that Hyson had to get surgery.

"You look too indifferent for someone who is about to enter the operation theater," remarked Shui Xian.

"What indifferent? I'm more worried about what's gonna happen," said Hyson. "I can stop Ellie but I can't handle Yanyan."

"Instead of being worried about your own life, you're focused on these unimportant issues?" asked Shui Xian. "What happens to others is not your concern. And it shouldn't be either. They are gonna reap what they sowed. Stop stimulating yourself. Don't you know that stress can make the bleeding worse?"

"I'm fine," claimed Hyson.

"You do look fine to me as well," said Shui Xian. He wasn't lying. From just appearance, no one could possibly tell that something was wrong with Hyson. He found it quite strange. "Fai, are you also insensitive to pain like Raelle?"

"Not really," answered Hyson uncertainly. "Or maybe I am." He shook his head, "No. I think it's not that we both are insensitive to pain, it's just our perception of pain is just as twisted as we are." He laughed out, "There is a reason why we make such a good pair of best friends."

Soon, the nurses came to prepare Hyson for the surgery and he kept looking at the door.

"Xian Ge, can you call Ellie? She said she'll be here before I went in."

"I'm here," came Raelle's voice who entered and Hyson's face softened up.

"Now, I'm ready then."

As he was pushed out of the ward, he held Raelle's hand and said, "You wait for me out here. And if I die in there, take care of my mum. Don't let her cry, or I'll haunt you as a ghost."

"Stop talking nonsense," said Shui Xian. "You'll be fine."

Hyson smiled at Shui Xian, "Xian Ge, you don't know that." He stared at Raelle and added, "Even the genius of our family can't calculate the possibility of my survival." Raelle stayed quiet and didn't reply. "Yo, Genius! You better do as I said."

Raelle took her hand out of his grasp as she said, "Don't worry, I'll take better care of your mother. She'll forget you in no time."

Hyson made a face at her, "Heartless!"

"Scram already!" retorted Raelle making Hyson chuckle gleefully.

Hyson was pushed into the operation theatre while Raelle waited outside with Shui Xian. Sitting in silence for a long moment, Shui Xian asked, "Are you worried about him?"

"Am I?" responded Raelle blankly. "I don't know."

It was not easy to hear 'I don't know' from Raelle's mouth. She usually was very clear about her thoughts.

She pursed her lips before she turned to look at him, "I've asked Yanyan to not implicate your sister. She is gonna act against Xu Hua, but she won't do anything to your sister. Your sister isn't directly involved but she is part of the reason, so she isn't completely innocent in this matter."

"I didn't ask about that," said Shui Xian. "I already assured you, I won't get involved in this. You can do whatever you want."

"She'll be coming to you in person sooner rather than later," spoke Raelle with certainty. "She is too prideful. She would rather beg in front of you than bow before the consequences of her actions."

Shui Xian placed an arm around her shoulder and pulled her in his embrace, "It doesn't matter. Although you don't want to take part in my professional decisions, you're a part of my personal life. You have all the right to decide anything in my life."

"But as a wife, I have no right come between a brother and a sister."

"You didn't come between us," replied Shui Xian. He kissed the top of her head and added, "What came between us are the years and time."

Raelle's eyes lingered on the glass door of the operation theater. For a long time, she had something on her mind but she couldn't grasp that thought that ran amok in her head. It never happened to her before. Her thoughts had always been in her perfect control.

"You and Fai are more similar than I thought," said Shui Xian pulling her out of her thoughts. "Not only both realize how your words can attack someone, you both have strange understanding of the world and people. It's like you both see everything differently than the rest of the world."

"That's true," replied Raelle. She couldn't disagree with his words at all. "We both do see the world differently. But that isn't the only similarity between us."

"I can tell," he said. "Did you inform Opa?"

"I did," answered Raelle. "He'll come later."

It took a while for the surgery to complete and all this while Raelle hadn't moved from her place. And neither did Shui Xian. Although he had some matters to attend to today, he still wasn't willing to leave her side.

Shui Xian couldn't tell Raelle's mood, but he felt relieved that Hyson's surgery was successful. They both followed when Hyson had been shifted to the ward again. Although the doctor said, he might take a while to wake up, it actually took him half an hour to open his eyes.

He continued to blink as he stared at Raelle and called out, "Ellieee~~" His voice dragged out at the end.

Raelle breathed out and warned Shui Xian, "From this moment, don't pay attention to his words. The anesthesia works like alcohol on him. He is gonna start ramble on now."

And staying true to Raelle's words, Hyson started smiling like a fool and called out to her again, "Ellie! My Elle! My little Belle! You've come straight from hell! Hehehe!"

"If I've come from hell, should I start sucking your soul?"

Hyson snorted, "You already do that. Nothing is left in me already. You're a soul eater! You've sucked up my innocence! And you have twisted my emotions."

"Oh..."

"But I still like you." He waved his finger in front of her and added, "No, no! Not just like. I love you! My love for you is as deep as the ocean." He grinned foolishly, "Do you know why I didn't say I love you to the moon and back?"

"Why?" Raelle played along with him as she always did. It wasn't her first time hearing him talk like a drunk. In fact, he never even talked like this when he was actually drunk.

"Because you can calculate the distance from the moon to earth. Humans have stepped on the moon for years now. But the ocean is boundless. No one has ever been able to find its depth." He tapped his temple with his index finger as he went on, "Aren't I smart?"

"Very," replied Raelle while Shui Xian stood there with a raised brow.

"Am I smarter than you?"

"If that makes you feel happy, then why not," said Raelle.

Hyson tsked, "My Hell's Belle, don't learn to lie now. Lying is bad. Very bad."

"When did I lie?"

"Didn't you say I'm smarter than you?" He shook his head, "I'm not. In fact, there is only one genius in our family and that's our Hell's Belle. No one can take her place."

"I think if it's you, you certainly can."

Hyson puffed up his cheeks, "But I don't want to."
