Chapter 887: Owe Two Lives

Raelle gave her time to collect her thoughts and even drink some water. She was very patient since she knew Tang Hebe couldn't escape. Why would she rush?         

    

Tang Hebe looked straight at Raelle and asked, "I have a question. I'll answer all yours once you answer mine."     

"Go ahead," replied Raelle.     

"Why are you interested in my son?"      

Raelle didn't hesitate and stated, "First, I only wanted to know about him because he was your son. But now... Now, I want to know because he is suddenly engulfed in mystery. I can't figure out where he came from."     

Tang Hebe asked, "You investigated him?"

"Yes," Raelle didn't think she had to hide this from her. Since she did it, she had what it took to accept her actions as well. "But I found nothing about his birth. As if he suddenly popped into this world from the moment you adopted him. Before that, there was nothing."     

"I don't what you're looking for but I don't think you'd find all the answers from me," said Tang Hebe. "Even I have no answers to some questions related to him."     

Raelle tapped her finger on her knee and asked, "You don't know who his parents are?"     

Tang Hebe smiled. She wasn't surprised that Raelle could tell that, "I never met his father. Never even heard his name. I know nothing about him. But I did meet his mother. However, I don't know much about her as well."     

She seemed to have fallen into deep thought as she continued, "His mother told me her name was Jennie. We met in Country J when she was pregnant. That was our first meeting and considering how we both came from the same country, we started talking and had a good time. I stayed there for 3 months and during those three months, we really grew to like each other a lot. She was a very interesting person and seemed to know about everything. But even if I seemed like a country bumpkin who didn't know much, she was very patient and gentle."     

Tang Hebe's expression was clouded as she went on, "We parted way three months later but I gave her my email to contact me. Then, we met after she gave birth to Justin. He was such a small baby when I held him and he really hooked my heart. Unfortunately, we didn't stay together for long since she had to leave. After that, she didn't contact me. Until that one day when I received her email with only a flight ticket and an address. By the time, I got to that address, she was already dying and I couldn't do much for her. It was also on that day, I learned her real name was Chi Xirui. She asked me to take my son away and give him a good life."     

"You adopted the child of a person you met only three times?" asked Raelle.     

"Sometimes, you instantly feel a connection with a stranger," said Tang Hebe. "She was that person to me. I met her right after my divorce. I needed someone there and she was. Even if she was just a stranger and had no obligation to be there for me, she was there for me."     

"Anything else, I should know about?"      

"Yes, Chi Xirui was your mother's student," answered Tang Hebe. "She told me that if I run into trouble, I should look for her teacher, Song Xin'ai. But it wasn't that easy to find Song Xin'ai and get an appointment. And in the end, I did have the need to look for her. I was looking for a doctor for Justin but couldn't get an appointment. So, I approached Song Xin'ai for help and that's why she took me to that banquet."     

"What's wrong with Justin?" asked Raelle. "Don't tell me just because he is different, you think he is sick?"     

Tang Hebe shook her head, "That's not just it. He keeps getting nightmares and gets easily scared. He hides behind me all the time and doesn't like approaching strangers. Correction, you're the exception here. He somehow feels comfortable around you and I'm not able to understand that. He seemed just like any other kid around you."     

"Oh, so that's where your fear comes from," said Raelle in understanding. "It's because he is able to look normal around me, you think you have been doing something wrong and don't deserve to be a mother. You're indeed living a very tiring life, Tang Hebe."     

Tang Hebe didn't retort because she had nothing to say actually. There was no point in saying anything. It wasn't easy to hide when you sit in front of Raelle Xiang and she had already accepted this fact.

"You still have something else to tell me," said Raelle. "Something is missing."     

Tang Hebe sighed as she looked at her, "I was indeed gonna look for you when I came to the country."     

"Why?"     

"Because of Justine," answered Tang Hebe. "No, I should say because of Chi Xirui. She asked me to find you."     

"She did?" asked Raelle as she straightened up. Something finally hooked her interest and she looked into Tang Hebe's eyes. "But I don't know any Chi Xirui." She processed through her memory but couldn't collect any information about this person. "There is no such person in my memory. I haven't even heard this name passing before. So, why would this person look for me?"     

"She said you saved her life and her son's life," said Tang Hebe. "She said she owes you two lives. And since she couldn't live long enough to pay back the favor, I had to do something about it."         

    

Raelle tilted her head and thought again hard. Did she save someone? When did that happen? And how? The only incidents she could think of were related to her own kidnappings and although during those incidents, her family did save other kids, she didn't think Chi Xirui was part of that group. After all, Chi Xirui specifically said, Raelle saved her and her son's life. And that meant, it happened within the past five years.
