Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 449 - A Special Gift

Honestly speaking, Hyson couldn't possibly define what he was going through right now in words. It just wasn't possible for him. Whether he was supposed to be happy or sad, it was hard to say. But one thing was certain that he had lost control over his tears at this point as they trickled down his face like a stream.

On the screen, as soon as the performance ended, Qian Yin rushed over to Yue Yue's side and hugged her tightly. She even rubbed Yue Yue's head like she was a kid as she complimented, "Our Yue is amazing!"

"Don't you even feel ashamed?" came Shui Koshing's voice. "You made Yue perform for you on your son's birthday."

"I don't think Xian minds though," retorted Qian Yin.

The video ended abruptly as Qian Yin and Shui Koshing started arguing while Yue Yue was left staring between them helplessly.

However, even when the video had already ended, Hyson seemed to have been stuck at that moment. He couldn't extract himself from the emotions he was going through. It was rare for him to feel intense emotions. He wasn't the kind of a person to even lose himself in such emotions either. But he had been losing control lately.

Firstly, it happened when he met Zhai Kuijun, and now this. But both times, it was actually related to his own mother.

Raelle looked down at her hand that he still clutched in his own and patted the back of his hand saying, "Breathe, Hyson."

There was yet no emotion in Raelle's voice and yet, Hyson felt like someone pulled him out of that feeling of despair towards warmth. His eyes subconsciously turned to look at Raelle who looked back at him. In her silence, he felt her reassurance. As if she was telling him, 'It's okay. I'm here.'

Raelle lifted her hand and wiped his tears, "Do you want to drink some water?" Without waiting for his answer, she picked up the water bottle from the table and uncapped it for him. "Drink it first. You'll feel better."

Hyson sniffled as he nodded and drank the water.

Shui Xian was stunned when he had seen Hyson in that state. He came to his side and said, "You okay? I didn't mean to hurt you. I thought you'd be happy about it. Didn't you ask about these recordings from my Bà? I'm sorry. I didn't know, it'd hurt you."

Seeing him remorseful, Hyson shook his head and offered Shui Xian a smile, "Xian Ge, you didn't hurt me. I am actually very happy right now. I can't possibly tell you how happy I am." He sniffled again and went on, "But even if I'm happy to hear my mother's voice, it's a fact that I won't be hearing it ever again. Yes, this recording can last forever. But there is no way for me to hear her calling my name." He held back his tears and added, "In fact, I'm truly thankful to you right now. I always tried to imagine what mum sounded like in my head. But I never managed to do so. At least, now I know what she sounded like. I always wished to hear her voice once. I never even dared to believe that that wish could possibly come true ever. But today, you did it. So, thank you so much for this. This means a lot more to me than you can possibly imagine."

Shui Xian gave him a hug, "There is no need to say thanks to me. I'm glad I could help you realize one of your dreams." He also wiped Hyson's tears saying, "Now, stop crying. It really doesn't suit you."

"Hubby, you also cried watching a movie," Raelle blankly exposed him.

Shui Xian stared at his wife, "Baby, you're not supposed to say that!"

"No? Why?" asked Raelle.

"You're supposed to hide your husband's weakness," reminded Shui Xian.

"Crying is not a weakness," said Raelle and Hyson simultaneously. Then they looked at each other and nodded.

"Exactly, it's not like there is something wrong in crying," added Hyson. "It's all part of our life. We laugh one day and cry another. Life can't possibly be the same always. How can you always laugh? Isn't that too torturous? We are humans and we do get tired. We have days when we feel like crying."

"Those are some deep and beautiful words," stated Shui Xian while his eyes were actually stuck on Raelle.

"Don't look at Ellie," said Hyson. "Even she tears up."

Shui Xian's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that and shifted closer to Hyson, "Really? My wife can also shed tears?"

"What? Do you really think she is a robot?" retorted Hyson. "Although she never cried loudly, she did tear up."

"How? When? Why?" were the questions Shui Xian was most curious about right now. He didn't even care what he looked like asking this. He just had to find his answers.

Hyson chuckled at him as he rubbed his eyes that had turned red from crying. "Aren't you too eager to know?"

"Can you blame me?" questioned Shui Xian as his brows quirked up. He thought he was not to blame for having such a reaction. After all, he wished to know everything about his wife. And this was something huge. He never really thought she had a time when she had cried. He remembered when she talked about her kidnappings. She never even shed tears in those arduous times.

That made him really curious to know when and how and why she cried.

"Why don't you ask her?" retorted Hyson. "It's not like she won't answer you."

"But why can't you just tell me instead?" was Shui Xian's response. He felt like Hyson was doing it on purpose. He purposely mentioned this to make him lose his composure like this. But it couldn't be helped now.

"Since you have gifted me something special tonight," started Hyson.. "I'll just tell you."
