Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 952: Happy To Be Sick

Xiang Weimin looked at him and said, "He is trying to get brownie points here?"     

"You should learn," was Raelle's response. "For future references."     

Xiang Weimin smiled at his sister, "I think I'm okay."     

"So, what really happened to Xiang Wai?" asked Raelle.     

Xiang Weimin contemplated for a moment in silence before he decided to tell her. "She heard you and Fai talking last night. About Fai's father. She knows and she didn't take it so well. As I said, she brought it on herself by overthinking. Don't worry, she'll be fine."     

"I'm not worried," said Raelle blankly. "In this house, I'm the last person whose worry she needs right now. Don't you think so?"     

Xiang Weimin actually understood her meaning. Indeed, how could Xiang Wai be waiting for them right now? Since the early morning, Mu Chenyan and Grandfather Xiang were fretting about her fever. Even Yue Yue went in and out of her room, taking care of her. It wasn't even his turn to go and see his sister, to show his concern because apparently, he wasn't needed.     

Xiang Hulin already left last night. He really did come to see Raelle and he left right after that as well. So, for now, he didn't know about Xiang Wai being sick.     

In the room upstairs, even now, Grandfather Xiang was sitting beside Xiang Wai's bed. She was sweating while Yue Yue wiped her body with a towel. Mu Chenyan had gone to prepare lunch.      

In her half-awake state, Xiang Wai rolled over and put her head on Grandfather Xiang's thigh. He was surprised but didn't dare to move. In this position, Xiang Wai's upper body was in fact not on the bed anymore since Grandfather Xiang was in his wheelchair.      

She held his hand and placed it on her own head and finally smiled contentedly. "No wonder Raelle likes this position," she mumbled before she closed her eyes completely and went back to sleep.     

Grandfather Xiang's hand on her head stiffened for a moment when he heard her say that. It made sense now. She must have seen how whenever Raelle came over, she would sit before him and put her head on his legs, allowing him to stroke her head. It was just how they communicated since Raelle was young.     

But he didn't think Xiang Wai would be thinking about it all this while.      

Yue Yue also pressed her lips when she saw what Xiang Wai did and said to Grandfather Xiang, 'She craves love and care.'     

Grandfather Xiang lovingly caressed Xiang Wai's head saying, "Silly lass! Why get sick just to get some attention or act like a baby?" He pinched Xiang Wai's nose, "You can act like a baby whenever you want. Grandfather doesn't mind."     

Xiang Wai giggled at that, "Then I'll keep bothering Grandfather."     

"How can you be a bother?" Grandfather Xiang shook his head, "You are my eldest granddaughter. Grandfather doesn't find you bothersome. Just say whatever you want, Wai. Don't always keep it inside you."     

Xiang Wai suddenly teared up and dropped a couple of tears, "Grandfather, I'm so happy that you're here."     

Grandfather Xiang felt so distressed for her.      

"Get well soon! Grandfather doesn't like seeing you like this."     

Xiang Wai nodded her head.     

"Tsk. I think she is gonna take her time recovering from this fever," commented Xiang Weimin as he watched this scene with Raelle from the door. Usually, Xiang Wai would recover from a fever after taking the medicine and sleeping it off. How would she have the leisure to wait for the fever to break slowly? But this time, with so many people worrying about her, it was obvious that Xiang Wai was gonna be lazy and wish that her fever stay longer just so she could soak in this care and love that was lacking from her life for years.     

"Let's go down. I think she is more than happy to be sick right now," said Xiang Weimin and turned to go back down. He even stopped worrying about his sister.      

Raelle actually agreed with his words and followed him downstairs.     

"Did you see Wai?" asked Mu Chenyan when they came down.         

"She is sleeping," answered Raelle. "Not the right time to see her."     

"Okay, then you can see her later," said Mu Chenyan. "You should stay over as well. Only you and Xian are at home, you can stay in front of my eyes so that I'd have one less person to worry about."     

"Yes," agreed Raelle knowing well about Mu Chenyan's thoughts. If she also left, Mu Chenyan would keep thinking about how she was doing while fretting about Xiang Wai. It was safe for her to stay in front of Mu Chenyan to stop this worrywart from worrying so much.     

"Elle, you can go to your room to lie down," suggested Mu Chenyan.     

"Don't want to," replied Raelle. "I'll just sit around." She didn't want to lie down. She finally escaped from the hospital bed, now, they want to again tie her to the bed? No way!     

"I should have stopped my lucky charm from leaving," lamented Mu Chenyan. "See? Right after he left, something went wrong."     

"Hyson isn't a lucky charm," said Raelle. She would never understand why Mu Chenyan insisted on calling Hyson a lucky charm.      

"He is," insisted Mu Chenyan. "You just don't understand it, Missy!"     

"And I never will," was Raelle's response.     

Mu Chenyan looked at her back and sighed, "How should I make you understand then? As soon as my little Fai left everything in this house seemed dull. It's as if no one lives here anymore." It had barely been hours since he left but this godmother was missing her precious godson who brought life to this house with his loud laughter and nonstop chattering.     

No, she should say even when he was just sitting silently, the house seemed bright. In fact, it was truly difficult to make Raelle understand these complicated thoughts of hers. It was better to let it be.
