The patient Yun Feng felt like he’s just woken up from a long, long dream. The dream was a beautiful one. The love of his life smiling at him, allowing him to forget the pain of forever separation.

  “Ning’er…” Unconsciously his mouth murmured this name out using his dry hoarse voice.

  ?He waves his hand up to the face in order to cover the blinding light coming through the broken ceiling.

  In that instant, the patient just froze there in mid-action because through the small cracks of his fingers, a very familiar and longing contour was now within reach.

  “Ning’er, is that really you?”


  Brimming with a surprised light in her own eyes, Bai Yan stared intently at the man who’s looking over.?

  “I am not Bai Ning.” After a moment of silence, she replied in a clear crisp voice.

  “You’re not Ning’er?”


  A look of disappointment promptly filled the patient’s face,?

  “Twenty years have passed from when you and Bai Ning separated, do you think I could be her?”


  Bai Yan’s word leaves the already weakened man at a difficult threshold of whether to accept reality or fall into self-deceit.

  “Twenty years? So such a long time has passed since then, but you….” Realizing something important, Yun Feng promptly swung his head over to Bai Yan’s face.

  Under the hopeful gaze of the man, Bai Yan eventually came clean. Of course, that’s only after her lips quivered so slightly from her own nervousness. “Bai Ning is my mother.”


  Those words were explosive, sending the patient into a stifling state of glee and fear.

  After a long while, he eventually reached out his big huge hands in order to caress his daughter’s face. However, the other part of his emotions – fear – stopped him midtrack and caused it turn back down.

  “If you’re Ning’er’s daughter then does that mean you’re my child?” Trembling in his eyelash, Yun Feng eventually closes his eyes in acceptance.

  “How’s your mother?” Is she doing well? She must still blame me for leaving without a word.” Yun Feng’s eyes were mixed with tension, fear, and unease when mentioning the love of his life. He’s afraid for the worse and that the girl’s mother would never forgive him….

  Bai Yan’s hand instinctively reached for her own chest at the question. She now understands why her heart would hurt so much when she saw the dreadful state this man was in earlier.?

  “My mother was seriously in the year I was born. In order to keep me safe, she entrusted my upbringing to others and never appeared again. I do not know if she’s alive or not.”


  “No, I don’t believe this, my wife would never leave me!!! This can’t be happening!” In his desperation, the patient wanted to climb out of bed in order to search for the woman. Unfortunately for him, his body was very weak from the many years of being bed ridden, causing him to tumble down from the bedside where Bai Yan had to rush over to catch him.
