Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 660 I'm Scared

Shui Xian managed to arrive at the hospital in 30 minutes. He even paid extra to the taxi driver just to reach the hospital as soon as possible. He looked terrible by the time he arrived at the hospital. His face had lost its color, his eyes were red and even his suit looked creased.

When he found Cloe in the hallway, he went up to her. Looking at the blood on her clothes and her hands, Shui Xian's heart dropped. He even forgot what he wanted to ask.

"You're here," Cloe looked at him incredulously. "Weren't you out of the city?"

"I just got back when I received your call," answered Shui Xian. "Where is she?"

Cloe pointed towards the operating room. "Chief is inside."

Shui Xian took a deep breath and asked, "How is she?"

"I don't know," answered Cloe, looking really worried. "The doctors didn't say anything for now."

"What happened?" he asked another question.

"I don't know about that either," she answered helplessly. And she wasn't lying. She truly didn't know anything. At least, she didn't know all the details. All she saw were two injured people and lots of blood when she came out. As for how or what happened before she came, she had no idea regarding that.

"Cloe!" Shui Xian's eyes were glaring at her right now for not being able to answer anything. Was she messing with him right now? Couldn't she tell he had almost lost his soul at this point? Just considering the fact that there was so much blood on Cloe's clothes, he didn't even dare to imagine how Raelle was doing.

It broke her heart if she even had a paper cut! And now... She actually bled so much when he wasn't around. He punched the wall in frustration making his knuckles bleed.

"Have you lost your mind?" asked Cloe. "Don't you think I have seen enough blood for tonight? Will you please snap out of it?!"

"How am I supposed to do that? My wife is in the operating room and you clearly don't even know how she is doing. Hell, I don't even know what's wrong with her! How am I supposed to think clearly? Can you even blame me for losing my mind?" Shui Xian shot back at her.

Cloe was so mad at him for acting like this. She was scared already, okay! She was really scared even if she didn't look like it right now. She was losing her mind. But deep down she also understood what Shui Xian was going through. He must be more scared than her. Even if he wasn't at the scene, not knowing anything must have been a lot scarier.

"Cloe!"

Cloe looked over and found Cui Xukun walking toward her. Seeing him, Cloe lost whatever courage she had been maintaining and opened her arms to hug him tightly. And then, she started crying. Yes, she started crying like a baby who finally found a pillar of support to lean on.

She had been acting strong until now but she couldn't do it once she saw her boyfriend. She had received Cui Xukun's call when she was on the way to the hospital and she ended up telling him she was going to the hospital but she didn't tell him anything else. Who knew he'd rush to the hospital immediately at midnight?

Cui Xukun hugged her back and caressed her head as he asked, "Are you hurt? Tell me where you're hurt, eh?"

Cloe shook her head as she choked, "I'm not hurt."

Shui Xian looked at them and raked his fingers through his hair. Obviously, he didn't mean to make Cloe cry. He was just feeling so helpless and exasperated right now. Maybe he shouldn't have shouted at her though. It's not like Cloe was at fault here as well.

Cui Xukun helped Cloe to a chair crouched down before her. He wiped her tears and asked, "If you're not hurt, then why are you crying?"

Cloe sniffled, "Because I'm scared." She didn't hide from it at all as her tears continued to fall down like rain. "I'm not the one hurt but it's Raelle. It's my Chief who is hurt. I'm so scared right now." She held his hand and looked into his eyes with her teary ones, "Do you know, I call her a devil boss a million times but I never meant it. She is the best boss in the world. She is younger than me but she had always treated me like I was her younger sister instead. She always remembers my birthday and even if she says she won't give me a day off, she'll still offer me something even better. She gave me what I couldn't give myself in 20 years. It was confidence! Without her, I'd never have confidence in myself. She is always protecting me. But tonight, I couldn't do the same for her. I can't do anything for her. And she is hurt now."

She couldn't speak for a minute as her tears fell even harder.

"I have never seen her so weak since the time I have known her. Of course, I'm scared right now. She is the first person who made me realize what it was like to have a family who cared about you. Whenever I'm stuck in life, I look for her to show me the right way and she always does. Even with her sarcastic and hurtful words, she still managed to lighten up my world. She is someone I have always depended on because I know she'll always be there for me. But for the very first time, today, I felt the fear of losing her."

Cui Xukun patted her back, trying to soothe her. He let her finish before he passed her a handkerchief to wipe her face and told her, "First, you need to calm down. Nothing will happen to her." While saying that, his eyes drifted towards Shui Xian who also heard Cloe's words and his state looked worse than before. If even his girlfriend was feeling so horrible, how could Shui Xian be any better?
