Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 715 Take You Somewhere

Early in the morning, as per her schedule, Raelle woke up and looked around the unfamiliar room. Oh, she was at the hospital. And that too as a patient.

She laid there in silence for a while as she gazed at Shui Xian's sleeping face. Lifting her hand, she pressed her hand against his cheek. In his sleep, he rubbed his face against her palm and continued to breathe evenly. He hadn't shaved so it was a little prickly to touch, not like Raelle minded at all.

She continued to look at his face up close. Thinking about what happened yesterday, she felt like she needed to guard her husband more from now. Even if her husband had no intentions toward anyone else, she shouldn't trust others so easily.

Let's take Ruan Meilin for instance, wasn't she also crazy about her husband?

And now, Tang Hebe...

She couldn't bring herself to have any bad feelings for Tang Hebe though. She knew she wasn't intentional and even if she didn't like the way how she called her husband or looked at him with that undisguised love in her eyes, she was still able to bear with it and think it through.

She couldn't blame Tang Hebe in such a situation. That'd be unfair.

But thinking about how she wanted to hide her husband from Tang Hebe yesterday on impulse, Raelle fell into deep thought. How should she say it? She had never had such impulses before. So, she was quite unfamiliar with it. But she couldn't deny the fact that she wasn't okay with anyone eyeing what belonged to her.

"So, what's the plan?" she heard Shui Xian's lazy voice as he woke up.

"Huh?"

Shui Xian opened his eyes slightly and asked again, "The way you're holding my hand, it seems like you want to tie me to yourself. So, I'm wondering if that's the plan?"

Raelle looked down and found that she was indeed holding his hand a little too tightly. So tightly that his hand had turned red from her force. But she didn't feel guilty. What was guilt? Even if she felt it, she won't know. As long as she didn't know what guilt felt like, she could pretend like she didn't know anything about it.

"The plan is to hide you from the world," she told him honestly.

Shui Xian chuckled at that and kissed her forehead, "Okay. Then make sure to guard me well and closely."

"I will," she said. "I won't let anyone steal you."

Shui Xian touched her nose, "Silly."

He got up and washed up before he came out and asked, "Why are you up so early?"

Raelle looked outside the window and said, "My morning walk."

Shui Xian had a look of realization. Indeed, if this woman doesn't go out for her morning run for one day, she'll not feel at ease. And she didn't go yesterday since she hadn't woken up yet. But today, she was already up at her time. She must be really wanting to go out.

But...

"How about we skip it for a few days?" he suggested.

Raelle lowered her head, "That..." she didn't know what to say. Should she agree? Or not? Why was it so difficult to decide? It had never been so difficult to decide anything. Why was this question stumping her so much?

Perhaps, it was because, from a very young age, she'd go out for a run every single day. It was a part of her daily routine. She'd be missing something if she didn't follow that routine. And that didn't sit well with her.

Shui Xian rubbed her head, "Be good. Once you discharge, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?" she asked.

Originally, Shui Xian was only gonna tell her once she was discharged but now, he decided to just let her know. He sat down with her and held her hand as he told her, "Our child is gone before we could meet him." Raelle looked at him as he continued, "Although we can't really hold a funeral for him, I still feel uneasy just letting that child go like this. I feel like everyone will forget the child and the child will feel lonely wherever he is gone."

Raelle didn't think so much was going on in her husband's mind.

"So, I've decided that we'll go to the temple once you're discharged and burn some incense for him. Also, we'll ask for some merits for the child."

Raelle leaned her head on his shoulder as she said, "How will he feel lonely? Aren't you here keeping him in your memory? Even if the whole world forgets, I think the baby will be fine knowing that his dad remembers him."

Shui Xian smiled bitterly at that. How was he supposed to say that he just wanted to do something right now? Something to remind himself and everyone that that child wasn't just an illusion. The child they never even got to see was still a part of them. And he deserved recognition.

"Hubby, you love thinking and making yourself sad," said Raelle.

"But didn't you that from the beginning?" he asked.

Raelle nodded her head, "Indeed, I knew from the beginning that you're an overthinker. Remind me why did I agree to marry you?"

"How would I know?" he replied. "Even I'm wondering what made you agree to marry me just after that one meeting." He held her chin to make her look up at him as he asked, "Don't tell me you're regretting your choice now though. It's already too late for that."

"Who said I'm regretting it?" she responded. "As for why I chose you, didn't I tell you that already?"

"You did? But I think my memory is bad, I seem to have forgotten whatever you told me," he said. "Why don't you repeat it for your husband?"

"No," said Raelle. "Raelle Xiang doesn't like repeating herself."

"Pfft!" Shui Xian laughed out loud at that all too familiar dialogue of hers.
