She was usually aloof and rarely showed such intense emotions, which startled the director.
"Dr. Qiao, has something happened at home?" the director asked with concern.
Qiao Xinruo didn't intend to say much about her family's private matters.
She told herself to stay calm, as it wasn't confirmed yet.
Avoid the situation where the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
But you have to give it a try.
"It's not convenient to talk about, but Director, I really need to ask for leave."
Qiao Xinruo has been working at the hospital for three years and has always been dedicated to her duties. She would never ask for leave unless there was an emergency.
The director didn't make things difficult for her and nodded in agreement.
Qiao Xinruo left quickly.
Meanwhile, Su Yueya, who was in ward 307, had calmed down and started taking a nap.
After leaving the hospital, Qiao Xinruo went directly to the military base.
"Comrade, this is a military area, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter." The soldier guarding the gate stopped Qiao Xinruo.
She rarely comes to the military base, so nobody knows her.
“I am the daughter of Commander Liu Yuying, and I want to go in to find her,” Qiao Xinruo said.
She had previously told Mo Youyou that her mother was a teacher, which was true and not something she made up to scare Mo Youyou.
"Commander Liu's daughter?" the guard asked suspiciously.
I've never heard of Commander Liu having a daughter. But how could a mere gatekeeper like me know about the affairs of a commander?
If it were anyone else, the soldiers could go in and ask them to come out for a standoff, but with Commander Liu…
It's unlikely that the division commander will come out to confirm.
"Comrade, please wait a moment. We need to go in and confirm first. Only after we have Commander Liu's reply can we decide whether to let them through."
"Okay, please hurry, I have something urgent to attend to."
Qiao Xinruo was extremely anxious, but she also knew that this was a military region and that rules had to be followed, regardless of whose daughter you were.
The soldier said a few words to his teammates and then ran inside.
Qiao Xinruo lingered at the door for a long time, thinking about the information she had seen and Su Yueya's outstanding performance in class...
Before long, the soldier came running back, panting.
"Comrade, Commander Liu said it's okay to pass. Please register on the entry and exit list first."
"Okay." Qiao Xinruo quickly registered the information, thanked them, and hurried inside.
Having been away for so long, it took her a while to figure out the directions before she finally found her mother's office.
"mom!"
Liu Yuying wore a simple military uniform, her shoulder insignia and medals gleaming in the sunlight.
It not only represents honor, but also serves as a testament to her many years of military service.
The military uniform had smooth, crisp lines that accentuated her tall and fit figure.
Her short hair was combed back, revealing a broad forehead, a high nose bridge, and intelligent and decisive eyes, making her appear capable and energetic.
Seeing her daughter rush in, Liu Yuying's eyes showed a touch of maternal love.
"Xinruo, what brings you here today?" Liu Yuying smiled and gestured for her daughter to sit down. "You're always the busiest one. Don't tell me you came all this way just to see your mother. I don't believe you."
Liu Yuying was overjoyed to see her daughter.
"Mom!" Qiao Xinruo finally caught her breath. Forgetting to respond to her mother's joking words, she went straight to the point, "Mom, I, I think I found my sister!"
"What?!" Liu Yuying was shocked, her expression changing instantly.
She put away her previous smile and became more serious.
"Xinruo, are you sure it's your sister? You haven't made a mistake?" Liu Yuying asked very cautiously.
After all, so many years had passed, and they had searched for so long without any news.
Now that her younger daughter has suddenly told her that she has news of her older daughter, she can't believe it right away.
“I’m not sure,” Qiao Xinruo said honestly. “Right now, it’s just a guess, but that person is very likely my sister.”
"Quickly, tell me about her condition!" Liu Yuying said urgently.
Even though she was usually calm and composed, she couldn't remain completely unmoved when she heard the news.
"Her name is Su Yueya, and she is currently hospitalized in a military hospital. Many doctors and nurses in the hospital who treated her before said that I look exactly like her!"
“She is 21 years old, so her birthday doesn’t match, but her medical record says she is an orphan, so her age and appearance match up.”
"Most importantly—"
"What's the most important thing?!" Liu Yuying asked anxiously.
After hearing that the age and appearance were similar, she was already quite inclined to believe that this Su Yueya was her eldest daughter.
After all, they are twins. The fact that they look exactly like Qiao Xinruo is almost enough to confirm it.
"She's still a student at Wenxiu Medical College, in the self-study program!"
“I happened to have taught her before, and she performed exceptionally well in class. She’s very talented; isn’t that just something she inherited from her father?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuying's lips drooped, and she seemed a little unhappy.
"Mom?" Qiao Xinruo was taken aback by her mother's change in expression.
"How come you inherited it from your father again?" Liu Yuying bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction, complaining, "You only have two daughters, and they both inherited it from him. How come none of them inherited it from me?!"
She's already treating Su Yueya like her daughter!
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
"Mom, is this the important point?"
She was speechless.
"It's lucky enough to have found your sister. Why do you care who she inherited her genes from? Getting her home is the most important thing!"
“Yes, yes, you’re right. So where is your sister now? Mom wants to go see her!” Liu Yuying asked.
A piece of flesh that fell from my own body.
Liu Yuying believed that as long as she could see Su Yueya, she would only need one glance to know if she was her daughter.
She patted Qiao Xinruo on the shoulder and said irritably, "Xinruo, you and your sister are twins, don't you have any... telepathy or anything?"
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
"Mom, telepathy isn't 100% accurate. Besides, my sister and I didn't grow up together, so how could we possibly have any telepathy?"
“Yes, then Mom will go see her now!” Liu Yuying was about to leave immediately.
“Mom,” Qiao Xinruo hesitated, pulling her mother back, “it might not be very convenient right now.”
“She is sick and is currently hospitalized. I have seen her medical records. Given her current condition, she cannot be subjected to any more stimulation, especially stimulation that would cause severe emotional fluctuations. It would be bad for her.”
"this……"
My daughter is right in front of me, but I can't look at her?
Liu Yuying was distressed; she wanted to see her daughter but was also afraid of upsetting her and making her condition worse.
"But Mom, we can sneak out of the ward to see her first, but you have to promise me that you can only look at her secretly, you can't talk to her, and you can't acknowledge her as a relative."
"I think it's best to wait until she's completely calmed down and her health has improved before we make any arrangements for the family reunion. We should take this time to plan ahead."
"Okay, Mom will listen to our Dr. Qiao." Liu Yuying was happy again, she could secretly see her daughter!
Then, after a moment's thought, she frowned and asked, "What illness does your sister have? Why is she so emotionally unstable?"
