Chapter 836 Wrong Person

Raelle didn't have to say of that. She really didn't have to. She wasn't a good person. She always said that she wasn't. She never wasted her breath on unnecessary explanations. This had to be one of those rare moments when she actually decided to take on this troublesome matter and make it clear to Tang Hebe that no one was better than the other between them.

The reason behind that wasn't all that complicated as well. It was still simple. Since Tang Hebe went out of her way to try to save her life, Raelle decided to go out of her way to speak a few words she normally wouldn't.

She knew that Tang Hebe wasn't thinking about saving Raelle Xiang at that moment. She only thought of saving Shui Xian's wife. No matter who'd be Shui Xian's wife, Tang Hebe would have done the same at that moment. Because subconsciously she believed she owed something bigger to Shui Xian. And to pay it back she didn't mind risking her own life.

Tang Hebe didn't know how to react to what Raelle said to her. Every single word of her seemed to have hit home. She bowed deeply before Raelle and said, "I'm really sorry for my prejudice towards you."

Raelle took a step back saying, "You stand up already. Your son is looking. Do you want him to hate me for making his mother bow down before me?"

Tang Hebe chuckled but still stood up as she rubbed her son's head.

"I understand that you never did anything wrong to me," said Tang Hebe. "So, it's really wrong of me to make you a villain in my story. You really didn't deserve the hatred I directed towards you. It wasn't actually your fault that Ms. Qian never accepted me. Although originally I thought that way, it wasn't really the case. It was just me whom she didn't like. It had nothing to do with you." Tang Hebe sighed at that. "In fact, deep down I knew this truth even at that time. But I couldn't accept the fact that I wasn't good enough to make her like me. So, I found a person to blame and that person became you."

"Oh, I don't mind," said Raelle. "You can continue to hate me all you want." She looked completely unbothered as she continued, "After all, your hatred couldn't bring me down back then and it won't affect me even now."

Tang Hebe had to say sometimes she really sounded too rude and conceited but she couldn't do anything about it. No wonder people said she'd make you feel helpless. Because currently, she was going through the same feeling of helplessness.

Shui Xian tapped Raelle's hand and she looked at him before saying, "I'm gonna sit over there for a while." Shui Xian nodded his head and watched her leave.

Even without a word, she understood that she had to leave to give them space for a while. She knew Shui Xian had a lot of questions for Tang Hebe and only now could he ask those questions since earlier, Tang Hebe had no memories of the things he wanted to inquire about.

"She really trusts you," commented Tang Hebe. "She left you alone with the ex-wife."

"From the moment she sat down to talk about our marriage, she said it'll be based on trust," replied Shui Xian. "Surprisingly, she doesn't ask for much in life. Trust and loyalty is enough for her. She even insulted me by saying that since my first marriage which was based on love didn't work, I should give a chance to this marriage that won't be built on love. It was a critical hit."

Tang Hebe was surprised to hear that but not all that surprised either at the same time.

"She is a unique person," commented Tang Hebe.

"I don't need to hear you complimenting my wife," said Shui Xian. "You have something of mine. I'd like to have it back."

Tang Hebe looked into his eyes and nodded her head, "Your mother's ring. I know. When I heard that you got married, I knew you'd look for me for that ring. And here we are."

"You should have given it back long ago," was Shui Xian's response.

"You're right," replied Tang Hebe. "I really should have given it back long ago. We can't keep things that don't belong to us. No matter how hard we try to hold them, they'll slip away since they aren't ours, to begin with." She smiled at him and added, "I'll give it back to you as soon as I'm discharged."

"That'll be great," said Shui Xian and looked like he was about to leave which surprised Tang Hebe.

"That's it?" she asked.

Shui Xian looked back at her, "What do you mean?"

"You don't have anything else to say or ask?" she asked.

"I had a lot of questions but what's the point? If you wanted to give me answers you would have done it years ago. I don't want to waste my time on asking you questions anymore."

She nodded her head but still said, "I thought you'd ask why I asked for a divorce back then."

"You gave me the answer to that question," said Shui Xian making her frown. "You told me clearly how my love was suffocating you and I was not giving you enough space to breathe. You wanted to be free again."

Tang Hebe felt like he was stabbing her in the heart. Even though they had both moved on and those were the words she said to him, it still hurt to hear those words from him. And at that moment, she didn't dare look into his eyes. If it hurt her now after all these years, she couldn't imagine how much it'd have hurt him when she said those words to him.

After all, she could never deny that he loved her with all he got. But he really wasted that love on the wrong person like her.
