Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 666 Leg Accessory

After a night of observation, Shui Xian was finally allowed to see Raelle who had already woken up. But standing before the door of her ward, Shui Xian was frozen. He so wanted to see her but at the same time, he couldn’t bring himself to walk inside. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do in this situation.

He took deep breaths and finally, his need to see Raelle overwhelmed all other emotions he was going through right now. He pushed open the door and walked in. He closed the door behind him and turned.

Raelle was in a half laid position when she heard the door opening, she looked over. And she finally saw the person she really wanted to see right now. From the moment, she woke up, she was only seeing the faces of doctors and nurses. And needless to say, she didn’t really like it. However, when Shui Xian’s eyes met hers, she noticed how he stiffened and wasn’t even moving from his position.

It was as if he was stuck on that spot, looking at her.

She didn’t like this hesitation she saw in his eyes. She didn’t like it at all. It was foreign to her since from the time she knew Shui Xian, he never had any hesitation facing her. And from the time he started developing feelings for her, he had become a lot clingier as well. How could she be suddenly used to this hesitation she saw?

Lifting up her hand, she hooked her finger and beckoned him closer.

Shui Xian lowered his eyes and walked to her side. Raelle held his hand and looked up at him as she questioned, “Hubby, did I do something wrong?”

Shui Xian’s heart shook once he heard that question and looked up to meet her eyes. Although her eyes were as blank as ever, he could tell she was genuinely wondering about the question she just asked. He blinked at her and sat by her side on the bed while shaking his head.

”What? No way,” he said hurriedly. “How is it even possible? My baby is never wrong.”

”Then why does it seem like you don’t wanna see me?” she asked.

Shui Xian squeezed her hand saying, “If I don’t see, I can’t even breathe.”

”Cheesy!” she commented making Shui Xian chuckle softly.

”But you already know your husband is cheesy,” he pinched her nose gently. “And this cheesy husband is also exclusively yours. There is no return policy as well. You gotta live with this cheesy husband.”

”Who said I wanted to exchange?”

Shui Xian continued to smile at her and caressed her hair lovingly and ever so gently. “Don’t get hurt. It scares me.”

”I’m sorry,” said Raelle. “I should have taken better care of myself.”

Shui Xian shook his head at her, “Who said you need to apologize? If anything, I should be saying sorry for not being able to take care of you. It’s my responsibility to protect you but I couldn’t do it. I’m sorry.”

”But it’s not like you are my leg accessory,” said Raelle. “Why would you be stuck to me all the time?”

Shui Xian nodded thoughtfully, “Wifey, are you missing a leg accessory? I don’t mind being one.”

Raelle poked his cheek making him raise his brows as she said, “No. I don’t want that. You need to understand that you can’t protect me forever.”

”But I can try,” he said. He licked his lips and asked, “Did the doctors tell you?”

Raelle nodded her head at him, “They did. They said I had a miscarriage. That statement just sank into my head and I realized that since I had a miscarriage that means I actually had a little life growing inside of me and I didn’t even know that. No wonder Yanyan says I don’t know how to take care of myself.”

”It’s not your fault,” he said. “It was too early to notice.”

Raelle shook her head, “No but hubby, there were signs. The doctor said each woman is different. Some women don’t get the signs until the 6-8th week but some start as early as the 2nd week. I knew my body was going through some change but I didn’t pay attention to it.” 

If even now she couldn’t notice all the strange things she had been going through then she’d be really dense. So, it wasn’t like she was suffering from some illness. Those signs were of pregnancy. It’s just that, the signs began too early for her. 

And as the doctor said, her pregnancy was already unstable. How could it not be when she was running around that much? All those heavy exercises like horseback riding, and playing basketball were obviously not something that’d help her pregnancy. And she even drank wine and champagne during this period of time like any other time. 

It can be said that pregnancy never even crossed Raelle’s mind all this time. It just didn’t!

She might be a walking encyclopedia but she didn’t know anything about pregnancy or pregnant women. She never even saw anyone close to her going through the period of pregnancy as well. And she didn’t feel the need to read about it as well since Shui Xian said he was in no hurry to have a child.

Shui Xian took a deep breath and patted her head, “Don’t think about it. You need to rest.” He didn’t know what else he could say. He truly didn’t think she was at fault even if she said there were signs. He knew she wouldn’t be able to tell. 

Raelle looked into his eyes for a long while in silence but eventually worded out her thoughts, “Xian, we lost our child.”

Shui Xian closed his eyes as his body stiffened once he heard those words. He knew that. He had been trying to avoid thinking about it and talking about it, especially with her but he also knew he couldn’t avoid this topic.
