Chapter 676 One Of A Kind
"If it's not my fault, then it isn't yours either," was Raelle's reply which Shui Koshing purse his lips in silence but he eventually nodded his head.
He should know by now that his daughter-in-law didn't think like most people. She definitely wasn't someone who'd play the blame game with others. Aiyo, maybe he was still not completely able to accept the fact that someone could be this rational and leave their emotions out of everything.
"I say, Uncle Shing, this sad look doesn't suit you," commented Hyson from the side.
Shui Koshing looked at him and raised his brows, "Oh, then dear nephew, why are you looking sad?"
"Who said I'm sad?" retorted Hyson. "No, I'm not. I've set a time limit on the emotions I'm allowed to feel. For instance, I can't allow myself to be sad for more than an hour. That'll ruin my happy image."
Shui Koshing chuckled at his words, "Sometimes you really make me wonder whom you take after. Because your mother was definitely not like that."
"His father," said Raelle with certainty.
Both Hyson and Shui Koshing stared at Raelle. She didn't seem like she felt she said something wrong. In fact, she even explained, "Your dad is officially out of my unwanted people's list."
Hyson almost jumped up from his seat as he stared at her, "What did he do to deserve this honor?"
Raelle was reminded of how Zhai Kuijun spoke to her at the banquet and then she felt like his image was overlapping with Hyson's right now. See? They were definitely father and son!
"That's because he reminded me of you," replied Raelle. As if that was all the explanation needed. But true enough, it was all the explanation that Hyson needed to understand the meaning behind her words.
"How is that possible?" asked Hyson. "I'm such a cutie. He is so broody!"
Shui Xian 'pfft' at that but coughed to hide his laughter.
"Well, he looks like he has been reborn," answered Raelle.
That comment actually got Hyson curious a little bit and that's when Shui Koshing spoke up, "Now that my daughter has mentioned it, I also think the same."
"You too, Uncle Shing?"
Shui Koshing nodded his head and hummed, "Hmm... Although he changed after his marriage, before that he was really a ball of sunshine just like you. Why do you think your mother fell for him?"
Hyson shrugged, "Since I've met him, I've been trying to understand what my mum saw in him."
Shui Koshing smiled at him, "Well, it's unfortunate that you weren't able to see what your mother fell for."
Hyson's expressions didn't look right.
"What's up, Fai?" asked Shui Xian.
"Now, he is sulking since he believes he is one of a kind. We shouldn't compare him with others," said Raelle.
"Oh, that's true. Our family's Fai is really one of a kind," said Shui Xian.
Hyson was pouting as he looked up at Shui Xian and asked, "Xian Ge, I really am one of a kind. Right?"
"Definitely!"
Raelle's phone beeped and she checked. She looked at the message that Cloe sent her and fell into deep thought. The message read, [Chief, I didn't know if I should tell you this or not but I think you deserve to know. It seems your father... I mean General Xiang Hulin had been at the hospital since last night. I originally didn't know it. It's something Aiden and Caleb from your security team informed me. It seems he knows about your accident.]
Raelle was still lost in thoughts when the door of her ward was pushed open. Raelle looked over and saw Grandfather Xiang operating his wheelchair inside the room. He came to her side and looked at her carefully. He only sighed in relief when he couldn't see any obvious wounds on her. But that alone didn't settle his heart at all. Because even if she was hurt where he couldn't see, he won't be able to tell just from her reaction alone.
"Opa!" Raelle called out to him. Then she looked behind him and saw Yue Yue who was already shedding tears. Raelle didn't know what to say. Although she hadn't spent a lot of time with this woman, she knew how much this woman loved to cry. Aye, she couldn't even say anything. After all, Yue Yue was one of those beauties who looked extremely beautiful and delicate when they cried.
Oh, yes! She was a pretty crier!
The kind that would break your heart with just her tears.
After that, she even noticed Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin who had followed their grandfather to the hospital. After all, it was their sister who was at the hospital. They had to come.
Grandfather Xiang lifted his hand as if he wanted to touch her and seeing that, Raelle put her head under his hand, allowing him to pat her like he always did. You know the kind that was filled with all his love and care for her.
Grandfather Xiang didn't even ask her what happened. Because by the time he arrived, he already learned that she had a miscarriage. And that's why he didn't even know what to say to her right now. Was there anything he could say in this situation?
Years ago, when his own wife had a miscarriage he didn't even know what to say back then. But now it was his own granddaughter. The one granddaughter whom he loved more than his own life. He felt like it didn't hurt when he lost his own child as much as it was hurting him right now.
He could still recall how his wife had almost crazy when she learned she had a miscarriage and lost their baby. She was filled with the thoughts of revenge and darkness. In comparison, his granddaughter looked way too calm. But he didn't know if this calmness was real or just a facade.
However, knowing Raelle, she never faked anything. So, this calmness had to be real.
