Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 262 - Tiny Accident



Early morning, the hues of nature bloomed anew just like a flower would reborn after withering. And the daylight bathed these hues with its own warmth.

Golden threads of morning light fell inside the room, inviting the dreams of the night to enter the day. 

Soon, the figure on the bed started moving around. Her hair fell down over her face in a disorderly manner. She lifted her boney hands to push her hair away before rubbing her eyes to get rid of the sleepiness. 

She moved her hand around to look for her phone and it took her a while to find her phone which had actually fallen under the bed. How did that happen? Well, she didn't know at all. And neither did she care since it wasn't even the first time it happened. 

Seeing the 99+ notification alert, she was surprised. It seemed all the notifications were from the social media app that she downloaded only to support her son. And just as she was about to explore the details of those notifications, her phone rang in her hand.

'My Son' flashed on the phone screen. She looked at the time and frowned a little but she didn't delay at all and accepted the video call request.

"Mum!" Hyson's voice rang out.

Yue Yue arranged her disorderly hair as she looked at her son's face. He looked to be quite aggrieved for some reason. This made her frown deepen. 

'What's wrong?' she questioned.

When she questioned that, Hyson was surprised and a ray of hope lit up in his heart. It seemed his mother hadn't seen the drama online yet. But he still cautiously asked to confirm, "Mum, did you just wake up?"

Yue Yue nodded her head.

Hyson's worry went down by half at that confirmation. He breathed a sigh of relief and started, "I have something to confess."

Yue Yue raised her brows at her son.

"Mum, I've sinned."

Yue Yue rolled her eyes at her son, 'There is nothing new about that, son.'

Hyson made a face at her, "Don't say it like that. Usually, I'm a good boy."

'I know,' responded Yue Yue.

Hyson could feel her sarcasm in that response. The sarcasm was heavy. And he didn't even know why. Wasn't he always a good boy? 

'What did you do...' Before she could continue, her eyes focused on what he was wearing and her heart shook, 'You're in a hospital?'

Hyson looked down at his hospital gown and nodded his head. "Yeah. That's what I was about to tell you. I got into a tiny accident. Really, it was tiny." Before his mother could react, he continued, "Hold it! Hold your anger and your worry for a moment! Let me finish first. I'm absolutely fine! Perfectly fine. I haven't felt this good in a long while. It was really a minor accident."

Yue Yue clutched the sheets tightly and only loosened them when she managed to calm herself down. Looking at him carefully, she asked, 'When?'

Hyson pressed his lips together and scratched the back of his head awkwardly before replying, "It happened about four days ago."

Yue Yue's eyes widened and she glared at him. 'You!'

Hyson smiled at her, "I had my reasons for hiding it from you. Don't be mad at me. I didn't want you to feel sad because of me. This is the first time, you're actually out of the city for your own sake. To enjoy. I couldn't bring myself to spoil your plans with my own stuff again."

Perhaps there was no one in the world who felt more guilty towards his mother than Hyson did. He always felt that his mother left out a lot because of him. For his sake, she forsook a lot. And he could hardly do anything in return for her. And this was something even his mother could feel as well.

'How are you now?'

Hyson perked up at her question, "I told you, I'm fine!"

Obviously, Yue Yue didn't believe his words. She knew because of her, her son had learned to disregard his own pain. Just so he wouldn't make things difficult for her, he hid his pain more often than not. 

Feeling her suspicion, he added, "I'm not lying. The only reason I'm stuck in the hospital is that you know our Ellie. She takes extra precautions for no reason. Otherwise, I can even jump and dance now. Do you want me to show you?"

'Stay right where you are.'

"Oh." Hyson instantly stayed still, not even daring to move an inch.

Yue Yue rubbed her forehead in worry. Her hands were shaking since the time she heard that her son was in an accident. Minor or not, it was an accident and that was a fact. She couldn't stop her heart from trembling in fear. He was all she had now. Yes, she often overreacted when he got hurt but just as she said, he was all she had!

How could she not worry about him of all people?

She tried to hide the trembling of her hands from her son and clenched her hands to get a firm grip. And only then she asked, 'Are you alone?'

Hyson shook his head, "No way. I have my family here." He even moved the camera towards Grandfather Xiang saying, "I have the great Xiang Tianyu with me. Do you really think I'll be alone?"

She knew that she didn't have to at least worry about this. Whether it was Grandfather Xiang or Mu Chenyan, they both loved her son as much as they loved Raelle. And knowing that even now, Grandfather Xiang was accompanying her son made her heart relax a lot.

"Mum, I was gonna tell you the truth tomorrow. I wasn't gonna hide it forever."

'I know,' Yue Yue smiled at her son trying to comfort him. 

"I wanted to come clean to you myself and I did. And I'm sorry for lying to you either."
