Chapter 714 Keep A Close Eye Hyson patted his chest once he ran off and muttered to himself, "I thought she'd be in an emotional state right now after figuring out that she had lost her memory. And might even have some identity crisis. Who knew she was so clear-headed at a time like this?"
He gave her a thumbs-up in his heart and went to look for Raelle and Shui Xian.
"Xian Ge, your ex..."
Before he could continue, he looked at Raelle's face and changed his words, "I mean, Miss Tang is very clear-headed. It seems even without you telling her anything, she might figure out everything."
Shui Xian didn't even react to his words he continued to help Raelle clean her arms with a wet towel.
"You don't look surprised?" asked Hyson.
"Why should I be?" was Shui Xian's response. "She had always been smart. Don't look down on her intelligence."
Hyson nodded his head, "You seem to know her very well."
"Don't you also know my wife very well?" retorted Shui Xian.
"Oh, that's because I live Ellie's heart," he said. Shui Xian glared at him as he added, "Well, you're also there. Why are you glaring at me like that?" He ignored Shui Xian and looked at Raelle, "Ellie, I'll take you to meet Tang Hebe tomorrow morning."
"Why?" asked Shui Xian defensively.
"I'm not taking her for a confrontation or something," replied Hyson. "I just think Miss Tang should meet the person she saved."
"Okay, I'll go with you," said Raelle before Shui Xian could say anything. "You should go back home now."
Hyson was unwilling but he still nodded his head, "Then take care. I'll see you in the morning."
"I thought he won't leave tonight," commented Shui Xian.
"He didn't leave," answered Raelle. "He must be looking for a place to crash. But he definitely isn't gonna leave tonight."
Shui Xian nodded his head when he heard that from Raelle. In this case, he definitely trusted her more. After all, she was the one who knew Hyson inside out. Besides, he also felt like Hyson wasn't someone who'd really leave just because Raelle said so. The one person who loved to and dared to go against Raelle's words was definitely Hyson.
Shui Xian helped Raelle change into a new patient gown and settled her on the bed once again. Yes, he had to do it because his wife was a clean freak even if she didn't appear like one. She couldn't accept the fact that she had been wearing the same hospital gown for over 12 hours. How was that acceptable?
She already wasn't allowed to take a shower. Wouldn't she go crazy if they didn't let her change clothes as well?
"Do you want anything else?" questioned Shui Xian.
Raelle looked at the dark circles under his eyes and said, "You shouldn't be doing this. Why don't I call Hyson to keep an eye on me while you go home to sleep?"
Shui Xian shook his head and told her, "I won't be able to sleep."
"But you aren't resting here as well," said Raelle. "What if you fell sick while taking care of me? Besides, it's not like I broke an arm or leg. I can do these small things myself."
"I won't be at ease," he said calmly. "And you don't have to worry about me. I know how much I can handle. I won't fall sick. I have to make sure you're okay. How can I allow myself to fall sick?"
"But you're clearly not taking care of yourself," she said in a small voice.
Shui Xian rubbed her head, "Then you take care of me. Keep a close eye on me."
Raelle nodded, "Hm! I'll do that."
Shui Xian smiled helplessly at her. Was this really a time for her to worry about him?
...
On the other hand, Tang Hebe was still lost in her thoughts once she saw Hyson leaving. She was feeling good when he was around. But once he was gone, it was like the whole world's worries was weighing down on her shoulders.
The way Hyson ran away from her question made it even more certain to her that things had changed. Not just in this world, but also in her life. She lifted her left hand and looked at her empty ring finger. That emptiness was like a reminder that she had lost something.
It was normal to not have her wedding ring on her finger since she was a patient who just had surgery. However, there was no ring mark on that finger anymore. She wore that ring from the moment Shui Xian proposed to her and she never took it off for more than an hour. It was quite normal that the ring left a mark on her finger.
But currently, there was no mark. None at all. As if, she never even wore any ring on that finger. She lightly rubbed her empty ring finger and mumbled, "Just how far have we drifted apart?"
To be honest, she was a little scared to figure out the answer to that question.
She knew once the answer came before her, she'll really end up with nothing once again.
But rather than crying and making a scene about her memory loss, she was trying to accept the reality as calmly as possible. Even if things changed in her life in the past years, she felt like she needed to know what really changed. The world was moving on, how could she hide in the past all on her own?
"But what should I do?" she questioned herself while she lightly touched her head which had a bandage around it. "Why is my heart so restless?" She couldn't understand this feeling. Even when she figured out that there was something wrong between her and Shui Xian, she didn't feel this way. But right now, she felt like she was missing something very dear to her.
However, all her life only Shui Xian had that place in her heart. How was it possible that someone else was making her feel this restless?
