Chapter 837 Against The Rules
"Is it too late to apologize?" she asked in a soft voice.
"For how many things are you gonna apologize for?" he asked in return. "Besides, you're right. I was too emotional and didn't notice the change in you. I should have done it. So, I can't say I was perfect either. Let's just say we were really not meant to be." He looked carefully at her before asking, "But I do want to know something. Did you already know about the history between the Tang family and the Qian family?"
Tang Hebe's heart thudded when she heard that question and looked wide-eyed at him. She didn't even have to say it, he already got the answer he wanted.
"You indeed knew," he muttered. "Since when?"
"A week before the anniversary," she told him honestly.
Shui Xian's hand clenched when he got the answer and had to take a deep breath to calm himself. He didn't think knowing the history of their family was enough to make Tang Hebe give up on their relationship. But he still didn't ask her why she did it.
"In the end, you really chose to keep the tradition between our families alive," he stated. "You really took it upon yourself to hurt me in the worst way possible." He stared at her and said, "You made me question my choices, my love, my feelings, my everything. And then you chose to break everything I had. That's a very good way to get your revenge."
"I didn't do it for revenge," she said immediately. "I really didn't."
"Of course, you did it to make me hate you," said Shui Xian. "Sorry to disappoint you. I've stopped wasting my feelings on you. I don't care why you wanted to do it. Whether you wanted revenge or just wanted me to hate you. Either way, I don't care." He took a pause and added, "You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. And let's keep it that way."
"Xian!" she called out to him. "If... I mean just if you knew from the beginning what history our families share, would you have still loved me?"
Shui Xian didn't turn back to look at her, his eyes were focused on the figure of Raelle who seemed to be chatting with a little boy. He realized that the little boy was actually Tang Hebe's son. They didn't even notice when he slipped away and went to Raelle's side.
He thought about the question Tang Hebe just asked and said, "My mother once loved your uncle knowing everything. The family feud couldn't stop them from loving each other. What makes you think we'd have been different? Maybe we would have been cautious towards each other but if it was meant to be, we'd still fall in love against all odds."
He was certain of what he said. His eyes softened as they were fixed on Raelle's face. Didn't he fall in love with her against all odds? What was the possibility of someone like him falling for someone like her? Technically, they were two ends of a straight line, and yet, they met and fell in love. How could he not believe that love was unstoppable? No matter how hard you try, you can't escape from the ensnare of it.
....
Meanwhile, on the other side, Raelle really wanted to sit down and went to the empty chair. She hadn't sat for a few minutes when a little boy appeared before her blinking his big eyes at her. Strangely, she thought his eyes were identical to hers. Why was she thinking about that again?
He stretched out his hand and Raelle found him holding three Shasta Daisy flowers. The flowers were delicate with white petals and a yellow center.
She looked at the flowers and then at him. His eyes were still looking at her with the same interest as before. "This is?"
He pursed his small lips before saying, "For you."
"This is for me?" she asked and his head bobbed up and down in reply. "Why?" she asked.
"Pretty," he said simply.
"I'm as pretty as the flowers?" she interpreted his words and he nodded his head again to show that that was exactly what he meant to say.
Raelle never doubted her looks so she happily would take that compliment, especially from a kid. After all, kids are innocent and only speak the truth. And she seemed to like honest people.
She took the flowers from his hand saying, "Then thank you for the flowers." She always liked good-looking things, especially pretty flowers so why would she say no to flowers?
He was happy when she accepted the flowers but he didn't smile. It was only his eyes that brightened and showed his happiness. But it only took a minute before his eyes went back to that blank look again. It was this change that made Raelle keep her eyes on him and observe him carefully.
"I have nothing to give you in return though," she said as she held the flowers and continued to look at him. She didn't think it was okay to take something and not give anything in return. After all, usually, she was the one giving not receiving.
"That's okay," he said.
"Where did you get the flowers?" she asked. "Did you pluck them from the hospital garden?" He nodded in reply. "You're not allowed to do that though. It's against the rules."
He looked serious as he looked around and pursed his lips in worry. He looked like he did something really wrong.
Raelle found his look quite interesting and said, "It's okay. We'll just say sorry to the hospital management."
His eyes brightened again and he nodded his head, "Okay."
"Since you have given me flowers, how about telling me your name? How else would I know which handsome kid gave me such pretty flowers?"
"Justin," he told her.
"I'm Raelle," she said. "Nice to meet you, little Justin."
