Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 909: For Our Child

Chapter 909: For Our Child

Shui Xian's lips curled up when he also listened to Hyson's voice spreading in the car because Raelle had put the phone on speaker. He couldn't help shaking his head as he thought that he was right. These two really had all sorts of topics to discuss but one would never get bored sitting with them.         

    

Just listening to these two could put someone in a good mood. And that someone included him who was certainly enjoying himself right now.     

"Approximately, 50% of dopamine is produced in the guts. And although serotonin is said to be a brain neurotransmitter, it is estimated that 90% of it is actually made in the digestive tract meaning in your guts! Do you get what I'm saying here? It means that the butterflies that we feel in our stomach are actually because of this link between our brain and guts."     

Raelle silently listened to him and Shui Xian felt like her always blank face had actually softened up a little at this time unknowingly. That showed that no matter how annoying Hyson was, Raelle could still listen to him for hours.      

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you want to add something to my new discovery?"     

"I was waiting for you to finish," said Raelle. "By the way, didn't you already know that our guts are also called 'the second brain' of our body?"     

"I think I heard that before," Hyson rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "But I didn't think about it so seriously. Today, I ended up reading this new research. I must say, it caught my attention."     

"Fai!"     

"Xian Ge? What's up?"     

"You talked about butterflies in your stomach, so I'm wondering. Have you ever even experienced that feeling?" asked Shui Xian curiously. He was genuinely interested in learning the answer to this question.     

Hyson pressed his lips together and sniffled before saying, "No, I have read about it and heard about it from people around me."     

"I believe those people around you who shared that experience don't include my wife."     

Hyson cleared his throat, "She is with you. You can ask for yourself." He took a brief pause before asking, "Ellie, you give him the answer."     

"Never felt it," answered Raelle. "What about you husband?"     

"Oh, I always feel butterflies in my stomach when I'm around you. No, it's a whole zoo in my stomach."     

Raelle looked at his body and blinked thoughtfully.     

"That's metaphorical," added Shui Xian noticing her gaze.     

While Hyson chuckled on the phone, Raelle answered, "I know."     

"Where are you both? Why do I feel like you're not at the hospital?" asked Hyson.     

"We're going to the temple," answered Raelle.     

Hyson went quiet for a moment before asking, "You got discharged?"     

"Hmm..." Raelle hummed in response.     

"And you didn't invite me to join you both?"     

"Why would I do that?" asked Raelle.     

Hyson rolled his eyes but obviously, they couldn't see it. "It's not like I was gonna play the third wheel between your two people world. Can't I just go to the temple for the same reason as you guys?"     

"And why are we going to the temple?" asked Raelle.         

    

"To pray for..." Hyson didn't continue. "Anyway, my mum says it's good to ask for some merits in life."     

"If you listened to Yue, you'd have long followed her to temples," said Raelle.     

  "Everyone has their calling," retorted Hyson. "Haven't you heard it? Heaven calls you to its door when it wants you at its door."     

"I think you're making things up," said Raelle.     

"Whatever, send me the location. I'll follow." With that, he hung up the call leaving Raelle staring at the phone screen.      

"He hung up on you," Shui Xian pointed out when he noticed how Raelle was still staring at the phone. "He doesn't hang up on you usually."     

"It's mostly me who hangs up on him," replied Raelle. She turned to face him and told him, "He's gonna follow us."     

Shui Xian smiled, "I can tell."     

After a long drive, they finally arrived at the temple. As they alighted from the car, Raelle looked at the long flight of stairs before her that went up the mountain. This place was not only far from the city but also seemed to be a very secluded place. At this time of the day, the sun was the hottest and it definitely didn't seem the ideal time to ascend the stairs.     

Shui Xian parked the car under the shade of trees and the bodyguards' cars also followed suit. But they kept a distance from the couple to provide them with privacy.      

"How about we rest here first and climb up when the sun goes down a little?" suggested Shui Xian. He helped her to sit down on the stone bench and asked, "How are you feeling? You've been sitting for so long? Is anything uncomfortable?"     

Raelle held his hand and shook her head, "No. Everything is fine." She looked towards the long flight of stairs that led up the mountain towards the temple that seemed to be hidden between the tall but green trees. "I think there is enough share of the trees," she pointed out. "We can just start climbing now. It'll take some time to get up there."     

Shui Xian also knew this problem. He hesitated for a while and got a bottle of water for Raelle first, "You drink some water first. And can you climb? I think it's too tiring. Let's not do it today. You just got discharged. Your health is more important."     

"We're already here."     

"Then, how about I carry you up there?" suggested Shui Xian.     

"No," replied Raelle as she stood up. "I can still walk this much. I haven't done exercise in days. It's a good way to get back on track. Besides, this walk is for a good cause. I'm doing it for our child. I have no right to give up, back out here, or say that I'm tired."     

Shui Xian's heart squeezed a little when she said that. He hugged her shoulders and felt like her shoulders were boney now. There wasn't as much flesh as before. Of course, 3 points he was right, and 7 points, it was his illusion.
