Chapter 662 Suit Yourself Cloe looked at Shui Xian whose whole body seemed to be shaking right now. It seemed as if he was about to fall any minute now. The doctor's words left him cold and frozen. He was not expecting such a result.
His wife was pregnant. No, the right way to say would be that they lost the baby before they knew anything about it.
Cui Xukun went up to him and patted his shoulder, "Xian, I'm sorry to hear that but you need to stay strong right now. Look on the brighter side, your wife is fine. It's nothing serious or life-threatening."
Indeed, Shui Xian was actually very happy to know that his wife was alright. In fact, he was happier knowing that his wife was okay than being sad about losing their baby. His heart was feeling guilty for thinking this way but he still would rather have his wife with him than anything else. That might make him the worst father ever but he didn't give a damn about that right now!
Once he relaxed, his body slid down the wall and he sat down on the floor feeling like he finally found his breath again.
And as his mind relaxed a little, only then did the grief of losing his child slowly creep into the depths of his heart, and yet here he was trying to disregard those feelings. Even if he said he was fine being the worst father for not being sad enough at the loss of his child, he wasn't heartless. If anything, he was more sensitive than most people. So this fact actually left a very uncomfortable feeling settling into his heart.
It was like someone shoved cotton down his throat, he couldn't swallow it, and neither could he spit it out. Pulling up his legs, he hugged his knees and hid his face.
All Cloe and Cui Xukun could see were his shaking shoulders indicating that he was crying right now. The tears he had been holding back since the time he learned about Raelle's accident had finally found their way out and there was no stopping it now. However, it was difficult to tell whether the tears were of relief knowing that his Raelle was fine, or were these the tears of grief and loss that he was trying to not take seriously?
Honestly speaking, he wouldn't be able to answer that question.
Cui Xukun wanted to go up to Shui Xian but Cloe held his arm and shook her head at him, telling him not to disturb Shui Xian right now. No matter what was the real reason behind those tears, she felt like Shui Xian needed to let his feelings out right now. If he didn't, he might suffocate himself.
After a while, Caleb from Raelle's security team came up to Cloe who finally remembered that Raelle wasn't the only patient she brought to the hospital tonight. She looked at Caleb and asked, "How is she doing?"
Caleb shook his head, "The surgery is still going on. But I heard from the doctor that the situation isn't looking very optimistic. Her condition is quite critical. The flower pot fell straight on her head. I think you should inform her family."
"How would I know anything about her family?" questioned Cloe in confusion.
"Cloe, what's going on?" asked Cui Xukun as he looked at Caleb vigilantly. But once Caleb looked back at him with those eyes that looked like bottomless pits, he was actually a bit startled. The heavy pressure around Caleb was no joke for Cui Xukun who was just a lawyer.
Once Cui Xukun spoke up, that reminded Cloe about the connection he had with Tang Hebe, and then she even looked over at Shui Xian. She contemplated over it before telling Caleb, "You should go back. Let me think about what to do."
Caleb nodded and went back to the operating room where Tang Hebe's surgery was going on.
Cloe licked her lips before saying, "Actually, it seemed I forgot to mention something to you both." She rubbed her nose awkwardly before adding, "The person who was injured along with Chief is actually Miss Tang Hebe."
Cui Xukun was dumbstruck while Shui Xian also looked up. Wiping his face, he stood up from the ground and came to Cloe, "What did you say? How is Tang Hebe involved in this?"
"Although I didn't see what happened, I assume that she was the one who saved Chief's life by pushing her out of the way. But doing so, she was the one who received the heavy injuries. Her surgery is still going on in the next operating room. And we don't know how she is doing." She took a pause and added, "The doctors told us to inform her family but I am not sure about what to do here."
"Even if you call her family, no one will come," said Shui Xian. His voice sounded deeper than usual because of how he cried just now. But he didn't seem to mind that he didn't look like his perfect self right now and seemed to have allowed others to see his weak and vulnerable side. He didn't mind it at all.
"Then what should we do?" asked Cloe.
"For now, let's just pray her surgery is successful," answered Cui Xukun.
Shui Xian just stood silently at the side. He didn't comment about it again. There was so much on his mind that he felt like he was about to explode. Taking a deep breath, he told Cloe, "I'm going to see the doctor and discuss Raelle's condition."
"I'll come with you," said Cloe and tagged along with him. Of course, she wanted to be there and hear about everything from the doctor. How could she be at ease if she didn't hear it?
"Suit yourself," was Shui Xian's response. He really didn't care whether she came with him or not. For now, he hardly cared about anything that didn't concern his wife. As for Tang Hebe, since her surgery wasn't done yet, there was hardly anything he could do to help. So, it was better to keep himself occupied and make it easier for his mind.
