Chapter 717 Bullying Amiah was feeling horrible as she ran out and ran into Hyson. She bumped into his chest but didn't pull away from him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and cried even harder.
Hyson's body stiffened like he was a wooden board. He had the urge to push her away. Let's be clear, he wasn't very fond of physical contact with strangers either, especially with women. There was only so much space for the ladies in his life.
"Didn't you go to see Xian Ge? Why are you back so soon?" he asked after suppressing the urge to push her away. "Did he bully you? I don't think that's possible though."
He really didn't think Shui Xian was capable of bullying his own sister. Heck, that man was willing to offer his everything for his sister, why would he bully her? In fact, Hyson even thought that the first time Shui Xian even talked harshly to Amiah had to be because Raelle was involved. And that was the truth as well.
Originally, Amiah had only come to check up and see what happened with Raelle which made Hyson take a leave so urgently. Although Sora was the one who gave her the push, it wasn't like she didn't want to come at all.
She wasn't sure about Raelle's condition before coming to the hospital. Coincidentally, she ran into Hyson downstairs where he was carrying his yogurt drink while leisurely taking a walk in a hospital corridor. The sight was really something new to her.
Since she ended up meeting Hyson, she stopped him and sat down with him to hear about what happened. Considering how Amiah was Shui Xian's sister, Hyson didn't hide anything from her. And told her everything from how Raelle had a miscarriage, Tang Hebe has amnesia and Ruan Meilin is the culprit.
She was already feeling so complicated once she heard about Ruan Meilin's involvement in this incident. She couldn't believe it actually. She had trusted Ruan Meilin for years. Precisely from the night of the incident all those years ago. How could she not be surprised right now?
Knowing how her brother just lost his child, she felt so sad and angry. No matter what differences they had, he was still her one and only brother. A brother who always stood with her.
And that's why when she stood in the doorway and heard everything that Raelle told Shui Xian, she felt her whole world crumbling down. How was it possible? She was in disbelief. How was she supposed to believe it all of a sudden?
That night was the most horrible memory of her life. One she still had nightmares about. It was all because of what happened that night that she closed herself off and became such a jerk. She was like a porcupine who just wanted to sting everyone just because she was hurt. She always thought that if Ruan Meilin hadn't come to become her savior, she would have lost everything that night.
Her pride, her dignity, her chastity, her everything! Literally, everything!
And that's why she trusted that woman so much. Now, someone was telling her that all this while she was keeping the villain close to her? No, she wasn't keeping this villain close, she actually pushed that villain into her brother's life. And now, that villain even killed her brother's child. How was she supposed to cope with this truth?
She was breaking down inside. Mentally and emotionally.
She felt like she couldn't breathe right now and that's when Hyson placed his hand on her back and patted it softly. His pleasantly warm voice fell into her ears, "You need to breathe. Slowly breathe in and breathe out."
She ended up following his words subconsciously and her breathing steadied.
She pulled away slightly from his embrace and looked into his eyes. With a teasing light in his beautiful eyes, he smiled at her, "Director, I didn't know you were a crybaby."
Amiah cried even harder when she heard that and Hyson was startled. He rubbed his nose awkwardly. Okay, he seriously didn't know how to placate a crying woman. He was even helpless before his own mother's tears much less before Amiah who wasn't even close to him.
And even if his opinion of her wasn't the worst, it wasn't all that good either. No, it'd be better to say that he didn't even bother having opinions about people who were unrelated to him.
"Amiah!"
Hyson looked behind her and found Shui Xian running over.
"Xian Ge, I didn't know you liked bullying your sister," commented Hyson.
Shui Xian looked at Hyson and then he looked at Amiah who seemed to have stopped crying. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Hyson, "Little Fai, how about you stay with Raelle for a while? I have something to talk about with my sister."
Hyson raised his hands as he stepped back from her while saying to Shui Xian, "I was already on my way to Ellie. I'd be more than happy to spend time with her." He skipped and waved at Amiah, "Director, the world isn't ending. There is no need to cry like it's the end of the world. There is always the hope of that sun of tomorrow unless it's your last breath."
"Go!" was all Shui Xian said and Hyson decided to just disappear. It's not like he wanted to stay here and listen to the problems between brother and sister. He didn't even need to learn anything from this brother and sister. After all, his relationship with his sister Raelle was the best.
They never had misunderstandings and they never even fought!
Why should he learn from others' imperfect relationships when his own was the perfect one?
This proud brother didn't bother thinking that he was criticizing Shui Xian unintentionally right now. But even if he realized that he won't care. After all, as long as it didn't concern him, why should he think about it? He'd rather go to see Tang Hebe with Raelle. That memory loss patient was at the top of his list of curiosities right now.
