Chapter 248: Cinderella

In the evening, Cloe left the office with Raelle since they both had the same destination. They both wanted to visit Hyson at the hospital and Raelle just offered to give Cloe a ride there. Because Cloe rarely took her own car out.

When they arrived at the hospital parking lot, Cloe was surprised to see that Shui Xian was already waiting there. Even though he had arrived earlier, he was still leaning against the car to wait for his wife. And when Raelle stepped out of the car, he rushed over and engulfed her in his arms.

Cloe had to curse under her breath for this unnecessary dog food that was just shoved down her throat. Really? Her Chief's image was crumbling in her heart lately because of this husband of hers.

Or it'd be more precise to say that whether it was Raelle or it was Master Xian himself, they both had a new image in her mind now. There was no way around it. 

Shui Xian greeted Cloe politely.

With his hand on Raelle's waist, Shui Xian walked towards the elevator with Cloe following behind them. The three of them reached the floor where Hyson was and even before they could reach Hyson's room, they could hear his voice.

Raelle was the first one who took a turn and came to the nurse's station. And right there, her dear best friend was holding a guitar and crooning in his beautiful voice.

♪When life's a mystery

Then take the road less traveled

And pave the way for someone else

Your tracks will set you free

Even if the road unravel

The path was always in yourself

So take the reins and hem the seams

And all your hopes and tattered dreams

And paint a world where there's no need to cry, cry

Be yourself Cinderella

(Oh, be yourself)

'Cause no one else could do It better

(Oh, be yourself)

And when that clock strikes midnight

Even if those kicks don't feel right

I'll stand by you forever

So be yourself Cinderella

Just be yourself Cinderella♪ (Song: Cinderalla; Singer: Boyce Avenue)

Shui Xian leaned close to Raelle's ear and said, "I just realized, your best friend has a natural talent for collecting love."

Raelle didn't say anything to him but she did look around. The nurses at the station had infatuated gazes as they looked at Hyson. Even Cloe had a sweet smile as she looked at Hyson. Although Raelle never doubted Hyson's talent, she still had never seen the effect of his voice on girls like this before. 

It was almost like he had cast a spell on the listener and they couldn't extract their souls from the charms of his beautiful voice. 

When he stopped singing, loud applause rang out and it startled Hyson who put a finger on her lips to hush them up. It was not nice to make such loud noise inside a hospital. He put the guitar aside and crouched down before a little girl. Wiping her tears, he said, "Little cinderella, your daddy will be fine. You should stop crying now."

The little girl blinked her tear-filled eyes as she asked, "He will really be fine, right?"

Hyson nodded his head and allowed the little girl to wrap her arms around his neck. He patted her back soothingly to comfort her. He had come across the little girl while he was taking a walk around. Her father was in surgery and she kept crying hysterically. Seeing her like this, Hyson couldn't help getting close to her.

He wanted to make her smile and he tried everything. He told her a joke, did some silly things but none was effective. In the end, he borrowed a guitar from someone and decided to serenade her. At least, it managed to make her stop crying finally.

"He really does all sorts of things," remarked Raelle. "As a matter of fact, he just loves to do troublesome things." She held Shui Xian's arm and said, "Let's wait for him inside the room. He will be coming back there anyway."

Shui Xian gazed at Hyson deeply before he nodded and followed her to Hyson's room.

"He keeps reminding me that he has a beautiful heart," said Shui Xian.

"He just loves getting involved in things that don't concern him," said Raelle blankly. "But then again, it's this reason why he and I met in the first place."

Shui Xian looked at her curiously, "So, if he hadn't been fond of troublesome things, he wouldn't have met you?"

Raelle nodded her head, "Yup! He and I would have walked past each other if it weren't for his habit of courting trouble."

"At least, something good came out of his habit," said Shui Xian.

"Chief, do you want anything?" asked Cloe as she came inside after knocking on the door.

"Your working hours are over," answered Raelle. "If I want something, I can ask someone else to get it."

"But there is no one here," said Cloe.

"I think something is wrong with your eyes, Cloe. How come you can't see my tall, handsome husband?"

Cloe's jaw dropped to the floor and even Shui Xian's eyes widened in surprise. She never thought her boss could be so shameless one day. Wait! Raelle Xiang was shameless enough but it still seemed different in this situation.

Shui Xian glanced at Cloe and smiled, "You should take it easy. As long as I'm here, I'll get whatever she wants. No need for you to worry."

Cloe smiled awkwardly and stepped inside. But stood far away from this couple. A single soul like her wasn't having fun around this couple. Especially since her love life had been exceptionally pathetic. 

However, being around them actually made her want to trying dating again. It must be because of Soren's nonsense but she was seriously considering dating again. And he wasn't wrong either, she had been holed up for far too long. Did she really have to waste her whole life just because of one scumbag?
