Words I Was Afraid To Hear
/ Words I was Afraid to Hear Chapter 124
Michelle teared up as Butter and Scotch ran towards her as she stepped into the yard of their new home . Riley gestured for the dogs to stop just before they manage to topple his wife .
Though limited, the dogs still managed to show their excitement by happily wagging their tails .
Michelle knelt down on the grass to hug a dog on each arm .
Riley sighed but smiled . His in-laws had gone back to Country K for business matters .
Due to her condition, his wife was granted indefinite leave of absence, while he filed for his own leave until they find a companion for her during her recovery .
The dogs started to lick her face . Riley cleared his throat . "Butter, Scotch, that's enough . "
Recognizing their names and the stern look of their owner, the dogs went back into their house, disappointed .
"Why"d you stop them?!" Michelle furrowed her brows while pouting like a kid .
"I don't wanna taste dogs when I kiss my wife later . " He snickered .
He helped her get up and gently wiped her face with a handkerchief .
They slowly walked towards the front door . When they reached it, Riley looked at his wife .
"Ready?" He smiled .
Michelle chuckled . "Hmmm!" She enthusiastically nodded .
Riley held the brass knob and turned it .
The interior of the house was modern and elegant . The furniture and walls complement each other with nudes and neutral colors .
Michelle smiled . "This house looks like coffee mixes . "
She was startled by the arms which suddenly embraced her from behind .
"Your parents knew you'll like the colors . "
She looked upstairs . "How many rooms are there?"
Riley held her hand as they went upstairs . "You could count as we go along . " He had a warm smile .
They went through three bare rooms and an entertainment area before they reached a two-door room .
Riley had a wide smile .
Michelle was skeptical . "What's in there?"
He placed her hand on a knob, his hand on the other . "Together . "
In sync, they opened the doors together which revealed a cozy bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a fireplace .
Michelle was gaping in awe . She had a smile but was teary-eyed . Then she frowned, as if remembering something .
"What's the matter?" Riley saw her expression .
She looked him in the eye . "Riles, what if we can't have children? Will we be the only ones living in this big house?"
He kissed her temple while he hugged her . "You need to recover first . Then we'll talk about it . Right now, I only need my wife . "

When he arrived back from City T, Dan went to visit his father .
Since his father could only blink, Dan began his monologue as he stepped into the hospital room .
"Hello, Dad . It's been awhile . The nurses said you were doing just great . Is that true?"
Victor Zhou blinked once .
"Good, good! ZFC is also good . Don't worry about it . You should focus on your recovery so you could come back . " He had a warm smile .
Victor Zhou blinked once again . He was agreeing to it .
Then Dan's face became serious . "Dad, I need to tell you something . Something Mom doesn't know . "
Victor Zhou blinked once for the third time .
Dan sighed . "Dad, I married Midori . Y'know, my first and only girlfriend way back in high school?" He was a bit shy on telling this part . "But Mom setup an engagement for me with Chairman Song's daughter . However, the two of us are just faking it . "
Dan came closer to the man on the wheelchair .
"Dad, I'm going to be a dad soon . " His smile became wider . "Midori's pregnant . " he declared .
Suddenly, he saw his dad subtly move his forefinger .
Dan almost burst into tears . He quickly went for the call button . A nurse rushed in, followed by a resident-on-duty .
"Mr . Zhou, what happened?" the doctor asked .
"He . . . he . . . " Dan was too shocked to answer .
