Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 695 My Love Rival

"Let me say this to you, Mr. Shui," started the doctor. "The brain injuries are always complicated. You have to be very patient with Miss Tang during this time. Forcing her to remember anything at this time can backfire on us."

"So, you want me to offer my husband to her?" asked Raelle.

The doctor went quiet while Shui Xian told him, "Tang Hebe and I divorced years ago. You want me to not tell her the truth?"

The doctor was silent for a while before saying, "Well, I won't advise you to do so. It's a sensitive recovery period for the patient. Any kind of mistake can be detrimental. So how about you don't tell the patient anything about the divorce? She thinks you're still her husband, so you should just be patient with her."

Shui Xian was in a very complicated mood right now. He did not think he'd be stuck in such a situation. He didn't think the legendary amnesia that he only saw in prime-time serials would actually turn the reality of his life. It seems art really takes inspiration from real life.

"Doctor, why did her memory go back to the period of time when she was married to Xian?" asked Raelle seriously.

"Post-traumatic amnesia is difficult to understand," said the doctor. "Especially when I haven't done all the tests yet. But if we think from a psychological point of view, it seems the patient was very scared when the accident happened. No, it seems the accident left a shadow on her mind and made her want to hide. It's very possible that the patient was looking for a protective place to hide and found it in the time period she was married to Mr. Shui."

"No matter what, I can't pretend to be her husband," said Shui Xian.

"Husband..." Raelle held his hand as she called out.

Shui Xian looked at her and gaped, "You can't possibly be expecting me to really pretend right now, right?"

The doctor took his leave when he noticed how they needed some personal space. Raelle looked into Shui Xian's eyes and said, "Who said that I want you to be her husband again? Do I look like I'm that kind? You of all people should already know I won't share you with anyone."

"Then why??" he asked.

"She saved my life," Raelle pointed out.

"I know," Shui Xian sounded exasperated. "I know she saved your life and I'm very thankful for that. I owe her a favor I might never be able to repay but that does not mean, I'm gonna play this act right now. I can't look at her my wife. Not again."

For the first time, Raelle was interested in knowing what had Tang Hebe done to make Shui Xian seem so resistant to the idea of even pretending to be her husband? She knew her husband was very easygoing. You'd have to have done something really despicable to make him so resistant.

However, this wasn't the time for that at all. She could learn about that later on.

"Hubby, I don't like owing people," said Raelle. "I'm not telling you to pretend to be her husband. I'm just asking you to go along with it for now."

"Baby, I can't!" said Shui Xian.

"Do you hate her?" asked Raelle. Shui Xian shook his head. "Then do you still love her?"

"No way!" Shui Xian squeezed her hands as he went on, "I have no feelings for her. Just because I don't hate her doesn't mean I love her. You think I didn't want to hate her? But I couldn't do it. No matter how much she hurt me, I have had very good memories with her. She had been there for me for a long time. I can't just forget all those years and instantly start hating her, just because I stopped loving her."

"You said she is still a very good friend," reminded Raelle. Shui Xian looked into her eyes and nodded her head. "Then how can you back out when your friend needs you? This is a serious matter, Xian. Especially since she has no one else. You said that the Tang family doesn't care about her. Then whom does she have?"

Shui Xian was at a loss. Today was one of those days when he found Raelle's rationality to be quite hateful. Why couldn't she for once think about it emotionally and understand him? Why did she have to be so level-headed?

But could he do anything even if he was unwilling? He couldn't refuse her! He couldn't bring himself to do so.

"Fine!" he grumbled unwillingly. "But you have to stand beside me. I'm not going in there alone."

"Who said I'm letting you stay in there with her alone?" asked Raelle. She fixed her hair and said, "What if she tried to seduce my husband? I have to be there to guard my own treasure!"

Shui Xian suddenly laughed out loud, "Oh, when did I turn into a treasure?"

"Since you married a treasure like me," replied Raelle.

Shui Xian laughed even louder. He kissed the top of her head and hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing," said Shui Xian. "I need to recharge my energy before going back inside. So, just let me hug you for a little longer."

Raelle lifted her arms and hugged him back, "Okay."

As they pulled away, Raelle asked, "How do I look?"

"Gorgeous!" said Shui Xian without even hesitating for a second.

Raelle looked down at the hospital gown she wore and asked, "Are you sure? This hospital gown is really dull."

"But it can't bring down your sparkle," he said certainly. "But why are you asking?"

"Of course, I can't appear shabby in front of my love rival!" she said.

Shui Xian rubbed her head, "What love rival? Don't make up some imaginary love rivals. You're the only one I have now. And you're the only one whom I want to be with."
