Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 722 Nightmare Coming True

Raelle didn't miss the detail of how Tang Hebe averted her gaze and not so subtly changed the topic, "So, did you get hurt as well?"

She wasn't even trying to hide the fact that she didn't want to tell how she knew Raelle. This was really like playing with people's curiosity. The good thing was that Raelle wasn't all that much of a curious person. If Tang Hebe wanted to tell her, she'd do so. If she didn't, Raelle wasn't the kind to act nosy either.

However, Hyson was a different case. He was naturally a curious cat and he couldn't contain his curiosity as well. But he had to do so for now. If he started prying in front of Raelle, his best friend might throw him out. Argh! How frustrating it was to have a best friend who didn't share your passion for curiosity?

Tang Hebe pointed at Raelle's hospital gown as she said, "You look like a patient. So, I believe I didn't do a very good job at saving your life."

Raelle didn't give her the details at all and just said, "Well, it wasn't all that bad either. At least, I survived." Sitting on the couch, Raelle looked around the VIP ward which was completely different from her own but it certainly looked like a luxurious hotel room.

With a knock, Tang Hebe's attending doctor came inside and greeted them. Then he checked up on Tang Hebe, asking her some questions.

"Are you feeling a headache?" asked the doctor.

"It isn't as bad as yesterday," answered Tang Hebe. "But it's still there. Mostly, I feel like my head is really heavy right now."

"You need plenty of rest to recover," said the doctor. "As long as you follow the instructions, you'll recover soon."

"And what about my memory?" asked Tang Hebe without any hesitation. "When will I recover that?"

The doctor was silent for a moment before telling her, "That's hard to say for now. It depends mostly on you. Whenever you're ready to face your memories, they'll come back to you."

Tang Hebe pursed her lips at that. Did it mean she was intentionally hiding from her memories? But why? What could make her want to hide like this?

Before leaving, the doctor looked at Raelle and said, "Mrs. Shui, you should also not wander outside like this. Your body still needs time to recover. If you caught a cold during this period, it'll be harder to conceive in the future. How did your husband even let you come outside?"

"I'll go back in a while," said Raelle.

Meanwhile, Tang Hebe felt a chill seep into her heart. 'Mrs. Shui...' That was her title. But not even once anyone had called her that. But the doctor actually referred to Raelle as 'Mrs. Shui.' What did that mean?

Tang Hebe felt her heart beating faster and faster. It was like her worst nightmare coming true right before her eyes. A distant memory suddenly flashed through her mind. Playing like a movie, every scene was vivid in her memory along with every single word that was spoken.

"Why don't you like me, Aunt Qian?" An adolescent Tang Hebe dressed in her school uniform sat before a lady decked in a branded dress that made her look like an elegant lady of the upper-class society that she was.

The woman's features had similarities with Shui Xian but the anger and distaste in her expressions was something Tang Hebe had never seen on Shui Xian's face. The woman was none other than Qian Yin, Shui Xian's mother. From the time she befriended Shui Xian when they were kids, Tang Hebe had been scared of his mother.

Not because she was a scary lady. In fact, Qian Yin was a kind and gentle woman who loved kids. But she didn't like Tang Hebe. Even if Shui Xian brought a stray cat or dog home, she was willing to offer her love and care to it but the same was not applied to Tang Hebe. And that's why Tang Hebe was not even allowed to come over to Shui Xian's home to play with him.

There was hardly anyone who didn't know in their circle that Shui Xian's mother hated Tang Hebe.

"Why should I like a disobedient child?" retorted Qian Yin in a soft voice. Even if her words sounded rude, she sounded gentle. "When you first got close to Shui Xian, I warned you to stay away from him. Did you listen to me? Why should I like you then?" Qian Yin took a sip of the lemonade she ordered and asked, "If you asked to meet for this nonsense, then I better leave. I have no time to waste."

"Wait!" Tang Hebe stopped her. "That's not why I wanted to meet you..." She licked her lips and clutched her skirt tightly, indicating how nervous she was before this woman. It was a fact that Qian Yin had never yelled at her or cursed at her. Even in all those years, she barely even talked to Tang Hebe a handful of times. But it was also an undeniable fact that Tang Hebe was really scared of Qian Yin. Only because she was the mother of the person she loved the most.

"Are you waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom in summer?" asked Qian Yin impatiently. "I really have somewhere to be."

Tang Hebe mustered up her courage and stood up. She bowed deeply before Qian Yin and said, "Aunt Qian, I love Xian. I have never loved anything or anyone as much as I love him. Please, allow me to be with him! I know you don't like me. Although I don't know why, however, I'll still keep trying to gain your trust and your liking. I'll do my best as Xian's life partner. I just want your blessings."

Qian Yin's perfectly manicured nails tapped the glass of lemonade placed before her as she said, "Ah! So, you really called me out for this nonsense."
