Master’s Untamed Wife

Chapter 219 – Best Friend In Misery

Hyson was moved back to Kia City in Shui Xian's private jet. Although Hyson had a little hope that he'd be able to go back home, his little hope was crushed by Cloe who told him that Raelle had already arranged for everything in the hospital.

He was peeling grapes grudgingly when Raelle entered the ward that was exclusively his. He didn't even bother lifting his eyes to give her a glance and continued to peel the grapes and munch on them one by one. He acted as if grapes were the most important thing for him right now and Raelle's presence meant nothing. Nothing at all!

Raelle could see him throwing a tantrum like a kid. However, she also didn't say anything to him. She silently moved around the ward to check the facilities available and if there was anything missing. 

Getting tired of her silence, Hyson threw a grape at her head, "Hey! If you're here, can't you ask me how I'm doing?"

Raelle turned around, then bent down to pick up the grape he threw at her and walked over to him. She held his hand and put the grape back in the palm of his hand saying, "Stop using your anger on fruits."

Hyson picked up the fruit knife and said, "Then maybe I should be using my anger on you!"

Raelle didn't back away, in fact, she stepped forward and even said, "Why don't you show me your knife skills then?"

Hyson gritted his teeth and glared at her before his shoulders slumped down and he picked up an apple and started peeling it off with the fruit knife. But since he wasn't used to doing this, he was making more of a mess.

Raelle held his hands and said, "Hyson, your knife skills are making me feel bad for the apple."

Hyson put the knife and the apple back on the plate and slid it away as he laid back on the bed. He turned over as he huffed but then again looked at her, "Can't I leave the hospital?"

"No," answered Raelle.

Hyson was fidgeting as he said, "This is my first time staying in a hospital. I don't like it. Mum doesn't like hospitals, now I know why. It's depressing here. This is not a place for someone like me."

"Relax. After we get the results of your examinations, I'll take you out of the hospital," reassured Raelle.

"There are still some examinations left to do?" he asked looking horrified. "I'm not giving any more of my blood. Is it a hospital or a vampire? Why is the appetite for blood so big?!"

Raelle curled her fingers and knocked on his head, "There is no such thing as vampires."

Hyson gave her a look, "I don't care! I'm just not giving any more blood!"

"You don't have to," said Raelle. "You're just gonna get a brain scan now."

"Brain scan? Why?"

"To see whether you have a brain," replied Raelle with a straight face.

Hyson jutted his lower lip out as he said, "All you do is hurt me."

"You could have died of natural causes out there and you're whining about me hurting you?"

"Natural causes?" repeated Hyson. "I just slipped and fell. How is that natural cause?"

"Gravity is natural," said Raelle.

Hyson stared at her face and went, "Ha Ha Ha!" It was such dry laughter that one could hear his annoyance through it. Taking a deep breath, he said, "You once told me to never let anyone ruin my day. It's my day, I should ruin it myself." Raelle recalled saying that to him and nodded her head. "Then get out! I don't want you to ruin my day!"

"It's such a pity that I want to be the one to ruin your day today," replied Raelle and even took a seat beside his bed. "Besides you'll be bored if I'm gone."

"Having you here is no different," said Hyson. "It's not like you're gonna play with me."

"What do you want to play?"

Hyson hurriedly looked at her, "Why? You're gonna play with me?"

"Of course, not!" 

"Don't give hope when you're gonna snatch it at the next stop!"

  Raelle continued to look at his face in silence for a while. "Hyson, your doctors are worried about you."

"Huh? Why? Am I dying?" 

Raelle shook her head, "No. But they are concerned about the fact that you're able to seem so energetic when your internal injuries are quite serious. It's not like you haven't seen the black and blue body of yours."

"Am I supposed to cry now?" asked Hyson. "It doesn't even hurt. Or maybe my brain is not even receiving the pain signals from my body."

"Or you've gotten so used to hiding your pain from your mother that you have forgotten how to react in this situation."

Hyson pursed his lips before smiling, "Wow! My best friend sure is right! Every single time!" Then he sat up and put the plate of grapes in her hand. "Since you're so awesome. How about peeling some grapes for me?" Seeing how she just continued to stare, he picked one up and showed her, "This is how you peel it. You're a fast learner. I'm sure you got it already."

"You want me to peel it for you?" repeated Raelle.

Hyson nodded his head, "Do you see anyone else here?"

"I don't mind peeling it, but will you be able to swallow it?" 

Hyson gulped visibly as he looked at her, "I'm sick. Stop threatening me. Can't you do this much for your sick best friend?"

"No, I can't," she replied.

Hyson gasped, "How mean of you!" He snatched it back and started peeling again, "Fine. I'll peel some for you instead."

"That seems like the right order of things," said Raelle and earned herself a glare from Hyson.

After a knock at the door, someone pushed open the door and placed a plate of freshly peeled grapes before Hyson. 

He looked at the grapes and then at Raelle before shaking his head, "You could have done that from the start!"

"How else would I see you grumbling so pitifully?"

Hyson tsked at her. "You're the only best friend in the world who loves to see her best friend in misery."
