689: Obey

Obey

Zhai Yanjun didn't even think he had changed. He knew he was a withdrawn person but he had done everything to change. Especially after joining the army where he had to work with his comrades in arms. If there was no brotherhood in the squadron, things won't end well. After all, a lone wolf doesn't always survive in the army.0

But Shui Xian could definitely see his changes. 

"Don't avoid the topic," said Zhai Yanjun. "I'm worried about you."

"Why are you worried?" asked Shui Xian. "You're one of the people who exactly know that a child had never been in my life plan."

Zhai Yanjun glared at him unhappily, "Don't give me that crap. I know you never really looked forward to having a child, but that doesn't mean losing one won't hurt you. Especially when the last time we met, you told me how you're curious to find out what a mini Raelle would look like."

"Hey! I was definitely talking about my wife's childhood," Shui Xian defended himself.

"I don't believe you," said Zhai Yanjun.

Shui Xian sighed in the end and decided to drop his act as he said honestly, "I feel like I lost a part of myself. It's hurting badly. It hurts, even more, to know that this child left an emptiness in my wife. But the truth is, I also feel empty inside." His voice lowered as he continued, "Maybe Heaven is punishing me for not wanting to have a child."

"Don't talk nonsense now," said Zhai Yanjun. "Heaven doesn't have all that much time to pay attention to your silly thoughts." He patted Shui Xian's shoulder and added, "I don't know what to say to make you feel better. I don't even think there are any words that can be right for this moment. After all, I can't just tell you that you'll have more children so just move on. That'll be unfair to the child you lost. But I do that you can't continue to feel this way. It's okay to mourn and be sad. But you do have to move on and look forward." He looked at Shui Xian intently before continuing, "I know Saozi is still more important to you. So, you'll have to stay strong for her. She needs you more now."

"I know," said Shui Xian. He understood all those words and he also agreed with those words. He indeed had to move on and look forward to his future with Raelle. He'll only let himself be sad when Raelle isn't around. He didn't want her to worry about anything.

And he had to do everything he could to fill the emptiness in Raelle's life.

...

On the other side, Raelle also woke up shortly after Shui Xian went out. She looked at the empty space beside her in silence. Did her husband just run away while she was sleeping? That's unforgivable!

Of course, that doesn't mean she'll go find trouble for her husband. If he left her side, it meant he had something to do. She can understand that. After all, she was the Goddess of understanding! 

Even if you're being the most irresponsible person in the world, she'll still try to understand you first before taking any actions. And the actions depended solely on her understanding as well.

*BZzzz...*

Raelle looked over at the table and found the phone vibrating. It was definitely not her phone. She knew the phone belonged to Tang Hebe that Cloe had passed to her before leaving. Raelle picked up the phone and looked at the caller id.

"Nanny Mi." was written on the screen.

Raelle contemplated whether to take the call or not but thinking about how the other person must be worried, she decided to take the call. But even before she could speak, the other person started speaking in panic, "Miss Tang, where have you been? Young Master is refusing to eat without. Last night, he woke up from a dream and cried for an hour. I couldn't do anything and then he refused to go back to sleep as well insisting on waiting for you to come back. In the end, he is still young so he fell asleep when he got tired. This morning, he still was waiting for you but you're nowhere to be found. Now, he is insisting on going out to look for you. I don't even know what to do." The woman on the call finally took a breath before asking, "Miss Tang, why aren't you saying anything?"

"The other person can only sleep if you give them a chance to do so," replied Raelle.

The woman on the phone who was called, Nanny Mi was quite surprised to hear an unfamiliar voice. "Where is Miss Tang? Isn't this her phone? Did she lose her phone?"

"She didn't lose her phone," answered Raelle. "And your Miss Tang can't take the phone for now."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"There was an accident," told Raelle.

"What?!" The person on the other side of the phone had a huge reaction once she heard that. Raelle even heard the sound of something shattering in the background. "What happened to Miss Tang? Where is she? How is she? How did it happen all of a sudden? Oh no, what should I tell Young Master? I... I..." The woman choked and started crying leaving Raelle speechless at this rare moment.

This nanny's reaction was really something else. Something Raelle was not expecting for sure. 

"How about you stop crying first?" suggested Raelle. "It's not helping anyone," she said honestly. "As for Tang Hebe, her condition is stable and out of danger. Once she wakes up, I'll contact you. For now, it's not good to bring a child to the hospital. It'll affect his mental health. You just tell him that his Mom is busy and can't come to him for now."

The nanny even forgot to cry once she heard Raelle's calm voice. She didn't even know why she felt like she was taking orders and she had only one option and that was to obey. What a weird thought.
