Chapter 889: Repay The Favor



Chapter 889: Repay The Favor

Raelle stood up to leave but stopped suddenly. Tang Hebe’s breath of relief hitched when she stopped and turned back. “What? What now?”         

    

“You said I saved Chi Xirui and Justin’s life,” stated Raelle and Tang Hebe had an intuition that this was not going in the right direction. “And since she owed me two lives, the favor is big. And now, it has fallen on you. So, Ms. Tang, how are you gonna repay this favor?”     

“I…” Tang Hebe didn’t continue before she understood very well that she had nothing to offer to someone like Raelle who was supposedly born with everything already at her disposal. What could she really offer?     

“What can you do to repay this favor? How far are you willing to go?”     

“I… I’ll leave the country,” said Tang Hebe. “I’ll disappear from Shui Xian’s life.”     

“How is that any of my concern?” asked Raelle.      

“Shouldn’t you care a little bit that I’m his ex-wife?”     

“Ex,” repeated Raelle. “Keep note that you’re ‘ex’ meaning, you’re the past. Why would anyone care about the past?”     

Tang Hebe wanted to scratch her head but her finger touched the bandage on her head and she stopped before sighing, “You shouldn’t be so careless about it. You said it yourself that jealousy adds fun to a relationship.”     

“That doesn’t apply to me,” said Raelle. “Unlike you, I trust what’s mine.”     

“You don’t stop jabbing me,” gritted out Tang Hebe.     

“Who asked you to hurt my husband?” asked Raelle.      

Tang Hebe was baffled when she heard that. So, all those harsh words were directed at her only because she had hurt Shui Xian in the past? Tang Hebe couldn’t believe what she was hearing right now. It certainly opened the door of a new world to her.     

She had never seen a wife getting even with the ex-wife of her husband for her husband’s sake. This has to be the first in the history.     

“How about this?” started Raelle. “You give your son to me?”     

Tang Hebe’s body stiffened and she widened her eyes at Raelle. She stood up and shook her head, “No way! You can’t do this to me. Even if you want to hurt me for what I did, you can’t take away my reason to live. Justin is my whole world!”     

“If I’m not wrong, you’re considered Shui Xian’s world as well,” stated Raelle. “He gave up the rest of the world for you only for you to trample all over his love and walk away ruthlessly. You never even looked back to see if he was living or only breathing.”     

“It hurt me too!” Tang Hebe exclaimed. “I loved him so much as well. It hurt me to walk away as well. But at that time, I couldn’t think of anything else. I couldn’t face him. So, I had to leave. I also lived aimlessly for so long until Justin came into my life and gave me a purpose.” Her tears suddenly fell as she added, “Please, don’t take him from me! I can give you anything but him. I’m sorry for your loss. But don’t snatch my child from me. You lost a child yourself, you must know how it feels.”     

Raelle didn’t reply to that and only stared at her attentively.      

“You’re weak,” said Raelle. “I might be called wicked but I never had a plan to take your son from you. Deep down, you already know that. But seeing you so scared repeatedly… Your son really became your weakness. So, Ms. Tang, imagine if his father comes and asks for his child, what are you gonna do? I won’t snatch your son, I have no right to. But his biological father might have that right.”     

“No, he abandoned them, he has no right,” said Tang Hebe.     

“Did Chi Xirui ever tell you that the father of the child abandoned the mother and child?”     

Tang Hebe went silent when she heard that.     

“Don’t just assume things on your own. There is a huge possibility that the father of the child didn’t even know about the existence of his child.”     

Tang Hebe’s body shook as if the light breeze was gonna topple it any moment now.      

“You’re purposely scaring me?” she asked.         

    

Raelle shook her head, “I’m warning you and preparing you for the future. If you continued to walk forward with this weak mental ability of yours, you won’t be able to protect what is yours. If you say Justin is your son, act like he really is your son. Don’t let anyone question who he is to you. As a mother, learn to protect your son better.”     

Although everything she said made Tang Hebe feel like she was hateful, she knew she was right. How could anyone say Raelle was wrong? She hadn’t met anyone who could claim that. It was indeed difficult to win against Raelle Xiang. And she was hopeless for sure.      

But Tang Hebe took this time to contemplate over everything she just said and realized her own shortcomings. She was still easily scared by everything. She had to grow even stronger. All her efforts weren’t enough just yet.     

“Tang Hebe!”     

“Hm?”     

“Say, you adopted Justin about three years ago,” started Raelle. “Then around the same time, you learned that the favor Chi Xirui owed me. So, what took you so long to come and find me?”     

Tang Hebe stayed silent and didn’t respond.     

“Are you that scared of me?”     

Tang Hebe glared at her, “I just didn’t want to face you. No, I wasn’t ready to face you back then.”     

“So, it took you years to prepare yourself to face me?” asked Raelle. “You must have had a hard time. By the way, when we first met, my husband and I hadn’t disclosed the matter of our marriage. But you already knew we’re married, why? Don’t tell me, you left spies around your ex-husband.”     

“I’m not that desperate,” said Tang Hebe. “My cousin registered her marriage the same day as yours. So, she sent me some sneak shots she clicked when you’re registering your marriage.”
