Chapter 269: Kept Man

When Amiah and Sora stepped out of the hospital room, they were surprised to see the bodyguards who hadn't been there when they arrived. However, more than that Sora's mind was still stuck on Amiah's apology to Hyson.

It wasn't every day that Amiah would accept her mistake and would even apologize to the other person at her own discretion. Although she did want her to apologize to Hyson for this incident, she didn't bring it up to her since she already knew about Amiah's personality.

Who knew that Amiah would do it on her? It really took her by surprise.

"Mia..." she called her softly in an uncertain tone.

Amiah turned her head towards Sora and asked, "What is it?"

"Why did you suddenly think of apologizing to Hyson?" Sora didn't beat around the bush. Since she needed an answer, she got to it straightforwardly.

Amiah was silent for a minute before she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, "I just did."

Sora frowned when she heard that answer but she didn't think of asking again. It was obvious that Amiah didn't want to explain anything to her and neither did she want to talk about it. Therefore, Sora decided to just let it be. It was enough that Amiah apologized to Hyson. 

As for Amiah, it wasn't that she didn't want to answer Sora. It was just that she had no answer for her right now. She was also uncertain why she suddenly thought about apologizing to Hyson. Seeing how bright Hyson's eyes were and the sincerity in his smile when he looked at them, she was suddenly reminded of her mother.

Hyson had the same positive outlook as she could recall about her mother. Hyson's eyes were so pure that she found herself unable to extract herself from him. His bright and lively personality was certainly like her mother. And remembering her mother, she just blurted out that apology. She felt like it was something her mother would have wanted her to do.

*Ding!*

The elevator door before them opened and seeing the person inside the elevator, she paused. However, even though Shui Koshing had seen her outside the elevator, he didn't say anything and stepped aside to walk away from her without even sparing her a second glance. 

Sora tugged at Amiah's sleeve when she watched Shui Koshing leaving, "Isn't that your father?"

Amiah pulled Sora inside the elevator saying, "It doesn't matter. Let's leave now."

Sora didn't say anything and stood beside her silently.

Meanwhile, Shui Koshing reached Hyson's room and knocked before entering. Since he learned about Hyson's accident, he had been meaning to come to see him. But since he was really tired last night, he woke up late. Then after having a meal, he dealt with things that needed his attention and came to the hospital straight after.

"Uncle Shing!" Hyson waved his hand seeing Shui Koshing excitedly. He needed someone to talk to. It didn't matter who it was, so he was really happy that someone came to see him again. 

Today, Grandfather Xiang happened to be busy that's why he got stuck here all alone. 

"Yue Fai," Shui Koshing came to his side. "How are you feeling? I only learned about your accident last night. How are you now?"

Hyson waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm absolutely fine. No need to take any stress!" He beckoned Shui Koshing to come closer and whispered, "Uncle Shing, did you see your daughter just now?"

Shui Koshing wasn't surprised that Hyson knew about Amiah as well and he nodded in reply.

"She was just here to see me," told Hyson like it was some secret. "And she thinks I'm your daughter-in-law's kept man."

Shui Koshing's eyes widened. "What?"

Hyson nodded his head seriously, "She just asked me what kind of relationship I have with Raelle Xiang. Because she is worried about her brother. What else does that mean? It means she is suspicious of my relationship with Ellie. Really, your daughter is imaginative."

Shui Koshing pressed his lips together not knowing what to say to Hyson. He thought about it a little before saying, "She must have misunderstood because of how much Raelle cares about you."

Hyson proudly puffed up his chest, "Just because my best friend cares about me doesn't mean one should misunderstand it so easily. I agree that normal best friends don't what Ellie does for me. But then again, we aren't normal best friends either." He laughed out, "Not everyone can have Raelle Xiang as their best friend. There is only one Raelle Xiang and I've long snatched her away."

Shui Koshing laughed in amusement at Hyson's antics, "Feeling quite proud, eh?"

"My best friend is my pride," said Hyson without any hesitation. "It can never change."

Shui Koshing rubbed his head gently saying, "You really aren't like your mother."

Hyson looked at him inquisitively, "Really?"

"Really," answered Shui Koshing in a certain manner. "Your mother was a very restrained person. She even had difficulty expressing her feelings."

"She was a quiet person?" questioned Hyson curiously.

"No way," Shui Koshing immediately denied that statement. "She was a chatterbox but she would only let her real self with people she was comfortable with. Since she came from a family where manners were quite valued, she always had to do her best to appear ladylike." Seeing how interested Hyson seemed listening to him, he asked, "You look quite interested to know about your mother."

"I am," Hyson immediately accepted. "My mum doesn't talk about herself. And I have never met a person who knew my mother before I was born, so there wasn't anyone to tell me stories about my mother. I have always been curious to know what she was like."

Shui Koshing felt a sudden pang in his heart when he heard that from Hyson. Although Hyson didn't let it show, he could tell that Hyson was upset when talked about it. He never got to hear anything about his own mother because there was no one to tell him anything.
