Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 718 Hate Will Consume You

Shui Xian looked at his sister who was keeping her head down looking at her toes like a child who did something wrong and now wasn't able to bring herself to look into his eyes. Shui Xian sighed at that and extended his hand towards her, "Come here."

Amiah looked at his hand but didn't move for a good while. She pursed her lips in deep thought.

"I said, come here," he spoke again.

Amiah took a step towards him and Shui Xian wrapped his arm around her shoulder, hugging her body close to him. As Amiah fell into that all too familiar embrace, she completely broke down. She was still able to control herself when she hugged Hyson. At that time, she desperately needed to cling to something and pour out her heart. But eventually, she couldn't do so.

However, once that familiar warmth of her brother's embrace caressed her, she really couldn't control herself anymore. It was like the walls she had built around her suddenly came crumbling down as she cried her heart out in Shui Xian's arms.

In response, Shui Xian didn't try to comfort her with his words. He knew no matter what he said for now won't have any effect on her. For now, she needed to let everything out. He continued to caress her back as the front of his shirt got damp from her tears. He didn't even mind that at all.

In fact, it made his lips curl up slightly. It was like he went back in time. The time when this little sister of his used to hug him like this and cry like a crybaby. Hyson's evaluation of her was actually true. Although she always wanted to be a cool and suave lady. In reality, she was a crybaby. For even the smallest of grievances, she used to come to complain to him and cry her heart out. As if tears didn't cost anything.

Well, tears really didn't cost anything. But according to his wife, you'll get dehydrated from crying. So, he should look for some water to make up for the loss.

"Ge, I'm really sorry," she choked out in between her hysterical cries.

Shui Xian didn't reply to that and still continued to hug her silently. He didn't even know what she was apologizing for. After all, even as a biased brother, he'd say she had done way too many things to apologize for.

He usually didn't blame her for it. Even he knew that their mother's death had the worst effect on her. And she desperately wanted to vent. In the end, she vented all her anger on their father. With their mother gone and her strained relationship with their father, she was already in a very difficult emotional state. And on top of that, she had to go through something like that just because of Ruan Meilin's obsession.

He understood that after that night, she really became a different person. A person who hated everyone. Yes, she really hated everyone. Perhaps, she even started to hate him as well even if she never said it. But one thing was for sure, after that night, she never talked nicely to people.

He was still uncertain how Sora managed to stay as a friend to someone toxic like Amiah. But he commended Sora's persistence as well and he was thankful to her as well. If it wasn't for her, his sister would have really been a lost cause in her lone world where she wanted to shut herself up.

"I see, you still love to cry," he commented.

Amiah sniffled and looked up at him with her bloodshot eyes. He took out his hanky to wipe her face as he continued, "Award-winning director, Amiah Jade is actually a crybaby. Does people who admire you know that?"

"Ge…" she called out in a voice filled with grievance.

"Okay, stop crying already," said Shui Xian. He made her sit down on a chair and went to a vending machine. He got her some water and offered it to her. "Here. Drink it and make up for all the tears you shed."

Amiah was taken aback by his train of thoughts. Why did he look so calm? Wasn't he mad at her? She couldn't understand the situation but she still blankly took the water from him and drank it slowly.

Shui Xian was looking around as if looking for something but when he couldn't, he took out his phone and texted someone. Then he sat down beside her and told her, "You always have the worst timing to show up."

Amiah looked at the water bottle she held as she asked, "If I didn't hear it, you won't ever tell me the truth?"

Shui Xian snorted, "Who said that? I'd still tell you everything that Ruan Meilin did to you and to my wife. Yes, I knew the truth would hurt you but so what? Who said life was gonna be easy? Besides, I had to tell you the truth to make you understand that sometimes evil comes wearing the mask of goodness. We should be wary of people."

"I have long stopped trusting people," she told him solemnly.

Shui Xian nodded his head, "I know. Now, you only hate people. But how long do you think you can live in hate? Eventually, the hate will consume you."

Amiah went silent when she heard that. Shui Xian placed his hand on top of her head and said, "Do you think I'd blame you for anything that Ruan Meilin did? Do you think your brother is that unreasonable?"

Amiah shook her head sincerely. She knew he wasn't an unreasonable person. He never had been. And he could never be.

"Sying," he called the name that her parents gave her in a gentle and loving tone that startled her for a moment. "I'll never let you carry the sins of someone else. It'll be unfair to you. But I won't let the sins you committed slide that easily either."

"I'm sorry," she said once again. Because the truth is, she didn't know what else she could say to him right now. She had way too many things to be sorry for.
