Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Mrs. Ye Has Woken Up
“Back then, if your father hadn’t t her, the Lei Family might not have encountered today’s troubles.”
However, the old man knew he also had his share of the bla.
If he hadn’t indulged his son back then, perhaps they wouldn’t have made such an irreparable mistake.
“Ye Jiuqing’s birth mother was originally Ye Chongtian’s woman, but your father acted on impulse, sched against her, and forced her. At that ti, the Lei Family was not strong enough to confront Ye Chongtian, so I suppressed the matter. Only your father, your mother, and I knew the truth.”
“But to keep it under wraps, we couldn’t let that woman go. Once she was released, Ye Chongtian would learn the truth, and he would definitely retaliate against the Lei Family. Moreover, Ye Jiuqing’s mother’s identity was special; whether the Ye Family or the Windsor Royal Family, we couldn’t afford to provoke them at the ti, so we locked her up. Besides, your father liked her; he intended to persuade her to stay with him, but she refused, so…”
“For the Lei Family’s future, I had no choice but to decide that way. At the ti, Ye Jiuqing’s mother was also a scientific genius. During her pregnancy, we threatened her with the child, forcing her to develop technological products for the Lei Group. It was during that year that the Lei Group shone brightly in the technology industry, thanks to her behind-the-scenes assistance. For the subsequent decades, we continued to use the child as leverage to make her continue her research. However, one day, she found out we lost the child and refused to conduct new research for the Lei Group. From then on, she began desperately searching for her child, trying to escape the laboratory. Eventually, I had no choice but to imprison her in the old house, because if she escaped, all our previous efforts would be in vain.”
Lei ngde listened, his brow furrowed deeply.
So, this matter, from whichever angle one looked at it, was the Lei Family’s fault.
Ten minutes later, Lei ngde left the police station.
As soon as he left, Ye Jiuqing received the news.
Ella was accompanying him, so she also heard the content over the phone.
She asked, “What did Lei ngde go to the police station for? He’s not there to bail out the Lei father and son, is he?”
Ye Jiuqing replied, “No, he’s probably there to inquire about sothing.”
“Oh.”
Ella looked at Mrs. Ye, who was asleep on the hospital bed, and softly asked, “Do you know why Old Mr. Lei wanted to imprison our mom? There must be a reason for this, right?”
Just like Ms. Ling from her family had said earlier, how deep must the hatred and resentnt be for the people of the Lei Family to go so mad as to imprison soone for such a long ti?
Ye Jiuqing shook his head and said, “We haven’t found out the whole story yet, but one thing is certain: back then, my dad and my mom knew each other.”
“Do you an Uncle Ye?”
“Yes, they were supposed to get married, but she suddenly disappeared one day, and no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find her. Until I suddenly appeared, he didn’t know my mother was still alive.”
Ella was stunned for a mont; she hadn’t expected the story to be like this.
If they hadn’t separated back then, perhaps Ye Jiuqing could have had a very happy family.
Ella then asked in confusion, “So how did Uncle Ye find out about your identity?”
After all, he was picked up by Uncle Ye outside.
“My dad said when he found , there was a note beside explaining my identity,” Ye Jiuqing said.
Ella raised her eyebrows slightly, “So, was the note left by the Lei Family? But that doesn’t make sense; if the Lei Family didn’t want this matter exposed, they would have gone to great lengths to hide your identity. Why would they tell Uncle Ye about your identity?”
This doesn’t make any sense.
The only explanation is…
“Unless soone else left that note,” she said.
Ye Jiuqing said, “It should be, but as for who, my dad has been investigating for so long and hasn’t found out, only finding the woman who dropped off back then. But she had never seen the employer; she just took to the address given by the employer and left near a dumpster where my dad often frequented.”
Hearing this, Ella frowned slightly.
Then she analyzed solemnly, “The person who left the note might have done it out of compassion, or they might have done it intentionally, wanting Uncle Ye to know the truth and confront the Lei Family.”
Ye Jiuqing looked at her, raising his hand to touch her head, “Alright, don’t overthink it. Soday we’ll know all the answers.”
“Thank you for all your help today.”
Because his mother didn’t let anyone else approach, except her, everything had to be done by her personally.
“It’s not hard. Taking care of my own mom, how could it be hard?” Ella hugged his arm, rubbed against him, and then said, “Ye Jiuqing, no matter what the truth is, please promise you’ll be alright because you are the unique Ye Jiuqing in this world, and the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
Ye Jiuqing looked down slightly at her and responded, “Alright, I promise.”
…
Around seven in the evening.
Mrs. Ye woke up.
When the nurse ca over to change her dication, she happened to find her awake.
But Ella wasn’t around, so without seeing her, Mrs. Ye beca like a frightened bird and wouldn’t let anyone approach.
No matter how the nurses tried to persuade her, it was to no avail.
They didn’t dare to get close at all.
One of the nurses said, “Hurry, go and find Miss Helan.”
Ella received the phone call and hurried back within minutes.
She had just stepped out for a mont for so business.
She didn’t expect sothing like this to happen.
Seeing her, the nurses looked like they had seen their lifesaver.
“Miss Helan, you’re finally back; please go in quickly and take a look, we don’t dare to go in anymore.”
Ella pushed open the hospital room door and quickly walked inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw the room was in a ss, with everything overturned.
But she had no ti to care about these things at this mont. She scanned the room and didn’t see anyone.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the direction of the washroom, and she quickly rushed in.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Jiuqing also arrived.
But Ella had already cald her down.
Mrs. Ye, seeing the sudden intruder, was frightened and hid behind Ella.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, he’s not a bad person.”
Ella turned around, half-embraced her, and gently coaxed, “Auntie, don’t be afraid, this is the important person I told you about just now.”
Hearing Ella’s words, Mrs. Ye carefully lifted her head.
Her eyes landed on Ye Jiuqing.
When her eyes t his blue ones, she froze.
In an instant, the fear and cautiousness in her eyes were gone, replaced by a sense of familiarity.
“Shuangshuang, who is he?”
Mrs. Ye raised her hand and pointed at Ye Jiuqing, then turned to ask Ella.
Ella smiled and said, “His na is Ye Jiuqing.”
Mrs. Ye repeated his na in a soft murmur.
Suddenly, she turned sharply to look at Ye Jiuqing again and asked, “Is your surna Ye? What is your relationship with Ye Chongtian?”
Although her mind was sowhat confused, there were certain things and people she still rembered.
Ella and Ye Jiuqing were both taken aback; they hadn’t expected her to rember Ye Chongtian’s na.
In fact, doctors examined her and found nothing wrong with her brain; it’s just that she might have been traumatized and, combined with long-term captivity, made her very sensitive to people from the outside world. Besides, she looked thin and sowhat disoriented, but she wasn’t actually insane.
Ye Jiuqing replied, “He’s my dad.”
“He’s your dad?”
“Yes.”
Mrs. Ye muttered with a hint of disappointnt, “He’s married… that’s good. This way, I don’t have to worry about him not being taken care of…”
Saying this, she released Ella and turned around to sit on the hospital bed.
Ella and Ye Jiuqing exchanged a glance.
Both walked over.
Ella crouched in front of her, holding her hand, and said, “Auntie, Uncle Ye isn’t married.”
Mrs. Ye looked at her with sowhat vacant eyes filled with confusion after hearing her words.
“I’m not lying to you, really. As for the reason behind it, I’ll tell you slowly once your health improves, okay?” Ella said.
Her current state is unstable; she can’t accept so much information all at once and it’s difficult to digest.
To prevent her from being further agitated, she could only tell her bit by bit.
Fortunately, she still listened to her quite well.
That night, Ella stayed by the bedside without leaving for a mont.
…
Three days later.
This morning, Ye Jiuqing ca again with breakfast.
But today, at this ti, Mrs. Ye hadn’t woken up yet.
Ella made a “shh” gesture at him.
Then she walked over quietly.
Looking at him, she whispered, “Mom hasn’t woken up yet, let her sleep a little longer, don’t need to wake her up specifically.”
Ye Jiuqing nodded, then gestured with the breakfast in his hand, clearly asking her, what about this breakfast then?
Ella pulled him out of the ward.
Then gently closed the door.
She turned around, pointed to a chair nearby, and said, “Let’s eat here.”
Although there was plenty of space inside, she was still afraid of waking Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye’s sleep quality wasn’t good. The past few nights, she hadn’t slept well, only truly falling asleep in the latter half of the night.
So, she wanted her to sleep a bit longer.
Ye Jiuqing wasn’t that particular; he could eat anywhere.
The two of them just sat on a chair outside and started eating.
But Ye Jiuqing didn’t eat; he kept handing food to Ella, basically acting as a mobile table.
Ella picked up a shrimp dumpling, took a bite, and looked at him, “Aren’t you eating?”
Ye Jiuqing raised his hand and wiped the corner of her mouth with his fingertip.
“I’m not hungry, I’ll eat after you’re done. Mrs. Xu prepared a lot.”
Ella blinked and then handed the bitten shrimp dumpling to his mouth.
Before she could speak, the man imdiately opened his mouth and ate it.
“…”
She was stunned.
She actually wasn’t giving it to him to eat; she just wanted him to sll the aroma, make him unable to resist, and eat quickly.
“No, you…” She opened her mouth and said, “How could you eat what I’ve eaten?”
She had bitten it.
And it likely still had her saliva on it…
Ye Jiuqing raised his eyebrow slightly, “You’re my wife, why can’t I eat it? It’s not poisoned.”
This scene felt sowhat familiar.
Last ti, he had answered her the sa way.
Ella thought for a mont, let it be, let it be. If he eats, he eats.
Anyway, it wasn’t the first ti.
“Did I cure your cleanliness obsession?” she asked.
Ye Jiuqing’s thin lips slightly parted: “No, but when facing you, it indeed can be cured.”
In other words: only for you, there’s no cleanliness obsession.
“…”
In the middle of their al.
The door behind them made a “click” sound and was opened.
Mrs. Ye, wearing loose hospital clothes, walked out.
The two imdiately put down what they were holding and stood up.
Ella stepped forward to support her hand, “Auntie, why did you co out?”
Mrs. Ye kept staring at her without saying a word.
But Ella noticed sothing was off about her.
Her eyes seed much brighter than the previous days and didn’t have that dull feeling anymore.
And this ti when she woke up, she wasn’t troubled, she opened the door and walked out herself.
In the past few days, as soon as she woke up, if she didn’t see her, she would cause a scene.
“Auntie, what’s wrong?” Ella asked again.
Mrs. Ye asked, “Are you Shuangshuang?”
Ella didn’t understand what was happening, but replied, “Yes, it’s , Auntie.”
“Shuangshuang, thank you. I hope I didn’t scare you these past days?”
Ella was slightly stunned, “Auntie, you are?”
“Yes, I’m clear-headed.” Mrs. Ye smiled at her and said, “I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you the past few days, but thank you for rescuing from that dark room.”
Her tone now was different from the previous two days, with a steadiness mixed with a hint of gentleness.
In fact, she was very attractive, with well-defined features. Although she had been tornted terribly and was very thin, a person’s bone structure doesn’t lie.
Moreover, at this mont, she exuded an aura of elegance and grace, as though it was innate.
After Mrs. Ye finished talking, her gaze finally fell on Ye Jiuqing.
When she looked at him, there was always a sense of familiarity, especially with those blue eyes.
She spoke, “Child, did you inherit your eyes from your mother? They are truly beautiful.”
At this mont, Ye Jiuqing felt a bit complicated.
He wasn’t good at communication, so looking at her at this mont, he had no idea what to say.
He nodded, “Mm.”
Ella watched the mother and son, saying nothing.
Then she heard Mrs. Ye say, “If given the opportunity, I would really like to et your mother.”
Ye Jiuqing remained silent for a few seconds and replied, “You have already t her.”
Mrs. Ye was slightly stunned, a string in her heart seed to break as she looked at him in confusion, “Child, what do you an?”
Ye Jiuqing repeated, “I said, you’ve already t her because that person is you.”
His words just dropped, and the string in Mrs. Ye’s heart suddenly snapped.
“You… what did you say?”
Her pupils widened, staring at him in incredulity.
The child was still alive?
But… she clearly rembered that person told her her child had died.
