Hospital corridor

Bai Kangyan sat on a bench in the corridor, while Bai Qianmo leaned casually against the wall, her legs crossed, exuding a nonchalant air.

She seemed somewhat absent-minded, her toes lightly tapping the ground intermittently.

Bai Kangyan rubbed his hands together, feeling somewhat at a loss.

“Your mother has been in a coma for a while now, and I’ve been thinking about her the whole time. I haven’t had a chance to have a proper talk with you.”

After saying that, Bai Kangyan looked at Bai Qianmo: "I've been thinking a lot lately. Since you came back to this family, we as parents haven't really been thinking from your perspective. We always thought we knew Xiruo well enough, and that she was obedient and sensible, which is why she had the opportunity to hurt you time and time again. This time, Xiruo's murderous intent towards your mother has finally made us wake up. Before, we kept a poisonous snake in our house but protected her like a treasure. Perhaps this is the retribution we deserve."

"Qianmo, your mother has finally come to her senses. She meticulously arranged your birthday party according to your preferences on the day of the incident, which shows that she genuinely hopes to mend her relationship with you. I hope that you and your mother can put aside your past grievances and rebuild your lost mother-daughter bond, okay?"

Bai Qianmo's lowered eyelids trembled slightly, and she looked at Bai Kangyan with a half-smile, her lips slightly twitching: "Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that a broken mirror can hardly be mended. The day I came back, everything today was already destined. After this incident, I hope everyone can live peacefully and return to a quiet life. That's what I want."

"Qianmo, can't we just be like parents and children in a normal family?"

"If I get it, I'm lucky; if I don't, it's my fate. I can only blame the capriciousness of fate." She was born on the wrong path in life, and when she needed family affection, all she felt was indifference.

Now, she doesn't need it anymore.

She raised her wrist to check the time: "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Her subconscious action clearly indicated that she didn't want to discuss it further.

Bai Kangyan felt a pang of disappointment and melancholy, and sighed softly with a sigh of resignation.

After a few seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "Go ahead and get busy. Be careful on the road."

"Now that she's awake, take care of yourself and get some rest."

Bai Kangyan's cold heart was instantly warmed by his daughter's caring words.

Although Qianmo acted coldly towards them, she actually cared about them deep down, and that was enough.

They have done so many wrong things that they have completely broken the child's heart. It will be a very difficult and long-term task to warm Qianmo's heart again.

"You too, you've been so busy with work lately and have to come to the hospital every day, you must be exhausted. Go home now."

Bai Qianmo said nothing and turned to leave.

Bai Kangyan watched her retreating figure and let out a long sigh.

He often thought that if the babies hadn't been switched at birth, and Qianmo had grown up with him and his wife, none of this would have happened.

If, from the day Qianmo was brought back, the couple had treated her as fairly as they treated Xiruo, without favoritism, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Many things only become clear after they've happened, revealing how wrong the initial choices were.

So being neglected by their daughter today is their own fault.

When Bai Kangyan returned to the ward, Han Songyan was sitting on the bed, lost in thought.

Hearing the door open, she looked up.

"Qianmo is gone?"

"Yes, they just left."

"What did you talk about?" Han Songyan pressed.

Bai Kangyan's eyes flickered, and he pretended to walk to the table to boil water.

"They didn't say anything, just chatted for a bit."

Han Songyan smiled bitterly: "You don't need to hide it from me. I can roughly guess what you two talked about. She still won't forgive me, right?"

"Don't think too much. Qianmo is introverted and not good at expressing herself, but I can tell that she is a very kind and good-hearted girl. During the time you were in a coma, she would come to the hospital to see you every day, no matter how busy she was with work, and she even helped you find a doctor to treat you. This is enough to show that she still cares about us. Please don't blame her."

Han Songyan's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and she gripped the corner of the blanket tightly with both hands: "How could I blame her? If it weren't for her this time, I might not have woken up until I died. But when I think about how I treated Qianmo before, I feel particularly guilty."

Bai Kangyan walked to the bedside and gently took his wife's hand.

"After this ordeal, our family will surely see the light at the end of the tunnel."

The news of Han Songyan waking up was quickly reported online.

Someone online revealed the hospital where Han Songyan was staying, and soon reporters and fans flocked to the scene.

Fortunately, Han Songyan's ward was a VIP room with dedicated security guards, and non-patients were not allowed to enter.

Bai Kangyan even called two bodyguards to stand guard at the door of the ward so as not to disturb his wife's peace.

The next day was the start of filming for "The Legend of 1900". Upon learning that Han Songyan had woken up, Kong Shen and Producer Liu took advantage of the quiet of the night to visit her at the hospital.

"Sister Yan, you're finally awake! We were all so worried!" Producer Liu said excitedly, almost bursting into tears.

They raised hundreds of millions of dollars to produce this award-winning film, but then one of the actors suddenly got into trouble.

If Han Song-yeon doesn't wake up, replacing her as an actress later on will be very troublesome.

Finally, God smiled upon him, and the female lead woke up before filming began. How could he not be excited?

A smile appeared on Kong Shen's usually cold and serious face.

"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!"
