Chapter 784 Blind Spot
If Raelle would say it in nice words, she thought Tang Hebe was simple-minded. But if she wasn't being nice with her words, she'd say Tang Hebe was a little idiotic.
At least, the Tang Hebe after losing memory gave that impression. And strangely, the Tang Hebe she met first seemed quite confident and strong. It seems the world really smoothened up her edges in those years after her divorce.
"Then why do you want to know about her son?" asked Anna.
"It's better to know," replied Raelle. "He is a blind spot in my knowledge. In fact, no one knows where her son came from. Don't you find it interesting?" What she didn't tell Anna was that she had been meaning to find out about Tang Hebe's son for a while now. She might have purposely ignored something at first, but now that she recalled those things, she was certain that Tang Hebe had a reason for coming up to greet her when they met at the resort.
And her purpose definitely wasn't to introduce herself as the ex-wife of Shui Xian. She had something else she wanted to say to her. Also, the fact that Tang Hebe appeared at the Chen family's banquet with Song Xin'ai.
Anna nodded her head, "I'll find out as much as possible and inform you."
Shui Xian came back with a bouquet of flowers in his hands and greeted Anna who gave him a nod in response.
"You can leave now," said Raelle to Anna who left without another word.
Shui Xian poured water into the vase and put the flowers in while Raelle continued to follow his movements with her eyes. "What are you doing, Hubby?"
"I'm trying to make this place look less depressing," he answered her. Although this VIP ward looked more like a five-star hotel suite, he still found it very depressing. After all, in his heart, he knew they were in the hospital.
"I think I told you, I want to go out for a while," reminded Raelle. "I didn't ask you to bring flowers to me."
"Darling, let's make do with these flowers for now," said Shui Xian. "I'll take you out when you recover."
"Xian!"
"Yes?"
"I want to go out for a walk," said Raelle. "Please!"
Shui Xian pursed his lips and felt like his heart was being attacked right now. How could he say no to that, please? He'd want to strangle himself if he even thought of saying no to that.
Sighing, he agreed, "Okay. Let's go out for a while. Sunlight is also good for the body."
Even he found this place depressing, how could he force her to stay inside all the time. It was better to take her out.
"Should I bring a wheelchair?"
"I can walk," said Raelle. "Don't make me feel like a patient."
"But you are a patient," reminded Shui Xian.
"I refuse to be one!" was her response making Shui Xian shake his head helplessly.
Shui Xian held her hand as she stepped down from the bed and wore the slippers. Taking small steps, he took her out. Even if she wanted to walk faster, he won't let her. Does he really think she was gonna break or something?
Whatever his thoughts were, only he would know.
Raelle could only follow his lead because after staying with her for two days, he had started to look more like a patient than her. Raelle couldn't even understand why that was so. Clearly, they both ate the same things but her complexion was rosy while he looked pale. She even thought he was sick but when she took his temperature, he was fine.
Raelle took a deep breath in the fresh air, closed her eyes, and basked in the sunlight. Oh, that felt good. How can anyone stay inside all the time? Won't they become zombies?
At least, she couldn't do it. No matter how much of a workaholic she was, she had to go out.
She looked at the colorful flowers that were planted alongside the pathway and felt her body lightening up. Nature is a wonderful thing. One would always realize the importance of the sun after a rainy day.
"Let's sit over there?" suggested Shui Xian as he pointed towards a wooden table and bench that was placed under the shade of the tree.
"Okay," agreed Raelle and went over with him.
Once she sat down, he asked, "Do you want to drink something? Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired," she told him. "And I don't want to drink anything as well. You just come and sit down with me."
"Oh," with that response, he obediently sat down beside her.
Raelle placed her head on his shoulder and he immediately extended his arm to support her by leaning against him. "Flowers are beautiful here," she commented.
"So, the ones I brought for you are not pretty?" he questioned.
"I did not say that," she answered.
Shui Xian smiled at her and kissed her forehead, "I know. I'm just joking with you."
"You should not joke with a person who can't even understand jokes," was Raelle's response.
"I can't help it," he told her. "You're so fun to joke with."
"I think something is wrong with your aesthetics, Mr. Husband," said Raelle. "Because Hyson says I'm the worst joking partner. After all, I don't even laugh at his jokes. But then again, it's not like his jokes are funny or anything."
Shui Xian chuckled when he heard her roasting Hyson. Oh, she'd be saying anything.
"Forget about joking, you're fun to talk to in general," was Shui Xian's sincere opinion.
"What's fun? Did you enjoy me attacking you with words?" asked Raelle.
Shui Xian pursed his lips, "I might be a mosochist. I actually enjoyed all those attacks." How could he not enjoy those attacks? Her every word made him understand somethings he had been fighting with for years. It was like the haze he lived in was cleared up whenever he talked to her. So, to him, she was definitely fun to talk to.
