Chapter 1400 Not A Good Son
"Your Uncle Eric finally seems a little satisfied with me," Shui Xian had already noticed Uncle Eric's attitude toward him. Although he was respectful to him yesterday, he didn't seem to really like him.
Shui Xian believed that most people in this estate did not think that he was worthy of their princess whom they watched growing up. By now, from the attitude of the servants in this place, he understood what kind of a status Raelle really had in their hearts. Despite the fact that she didn't talk to them much or didn't like their disturbances, they all had great respect for her in their hearts.
And from this, one could understand that Raelle's reputation of being cold-hearted was not trustworthy. If she was so cold-hearted, how would she be liked by everyone here? He had felt plenty of scrutinizing gazes falling on his since yesterday as if everyone was evaluating him.
But once these people saw Raelle's closeness with him, they would smile kindly and stop paying attention. It was actually a surprising situation even for Shui Xian who did not expect his wife to have so many protectors in the form of house help too.
He really wanted to find the person who always said that Raelle wasn't a good person.
"Don't worry, Uncle Eric is a reasonable person," replied Raelle. Even if she wasn't as keen about others' emotions before, her understanding of some emotions was quite good now. Just like she could see Uncle Eric's concern for her clearly now and even didn't dislike it at all.
"I also think he is a reasonable person," If he wasn't, he wouldn't have been so kind to him since they met despite not really finding him pleasing to his eyes.
"Yue, eat some more," said Mu Chenyan when she noticed how her best friend wasn't eating much. "Are you feeling sick again? Or is the food not to your taste?"
Yue Yue weakly lifted her head and shook her at Mu Chenyan but paused when she felt dizzier with this action. "If I remember correctly," started Hyson. "Mum used to say that seeing my face always makes her want to eat an extra bowl. Now, she is barely lifting her chopsticks even when her son is sitting right in front of her. What happened? Don't worry about your Mr. Zhai, he'll come with Uncle Xiang a day before the wedding."
Yue Yue glared at her son who shrugged. Who asked his mother to ignore him? Couldn't he even say anything? She used to send him so many caring messages but since she got together with that big idiot Zhai Kuijun, she had forgotten all about her son. Hyson felt like she might even care more about little idiot Zhai Yanjun even more than him these days.
He was a poor little cabbage abandoned by everyone.
Yue Yue couldn't lift her hands to make any hand signs so she mouthed at him, 'I am eating well. Don't worry about me.'
"If you don't want me to worry then don't look like this. How am I supposed to not worry about you when you are sick? And why do you still keep it to yourself? You have been sick but I knew nothing. Now, you must have started feeling uncomfortable the moment you landed here but you continued to endure until now. If Yanyan hadn't noticed would you even tell anyone? What do you even think of me? Am I such an irresponsible son in your eyes that you can't even depend on me?"
Yue Yue was startled when she noticed the seriousness in his eyes. She also realized that he was mad about her hiding her illness from him. But it was just a minor fever what was there to tell him when he was rushing to finish his work? The corners of her eyes reddened as she felt like crying whether it was because of the uncomfortable feeling or because of seeing her son like this, maybe even she didn't know for now. 'It's not like that,' she tried to touch his face but Hyson turned his head away, avoiding her hand.
"Mom, I might be careless and look really unreliable but you can't be so distrustful of my character. If you are in pain, tell me about it. What am I to do if you don't say anything? Just because you couldn't speak, I learned sign language. Thinking that your hands might get tired, I learned lip reading too. When all failed, I even learned to read your eyes. And yet, you still have a way to hide things from me."
Yue Yue sighed and tried to sit up.
"Just keep lying down. Don't you dare get up."
Yue Yue really didn't move as she really couldn't face her son like this. When this guy really got serious, she had to always bow her head in front of him. But it also proved that he grew up now. 'Silly, I know I have you. How do you think I got here?' Hyson wanted to avoid looking at her so that he couldn't understand what she was saying but she held his face and made him look at her. 'I know I can always depend on you. I have such a capable son. How can I not have any trust in you? I wasn't feeling that uncomfortable when we came and I thought I'd just bear with it and it'll pass. Why would I endure? Do I have a reason to do so?' She pressed on the creases between his brows and went on, 'Don't frown. It doesn't suit you. I like to see my son smiling.'
"Just because you like seeing me smile, I have been smiling like a fool all my life," he retorted.
'Are you tired?'
Hyson shook his head, "No. But I really don't like seeing you in pain. It makes me feel like I am not a good son."
'How is that possible? When did you become so unconfident in yourself? You are the best son in the world.'
Hyson rubbed his face against her hand and said, "Then next time, don't hide even the minor headache from me. If I learned it from others, I'm gonna be mad."
