Chapter 605: Unfamiliarity
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Baili Leyao couldn't help but show a hint of confusion on his face, "Why are you all acting so weird?"
She really couldn't understand why, after waking up from a nap, everything around her seemed to have changed drastically.
After a burst of excitement, Baili Hengyuan and the others slowly calmed down and walked into the room.
"Le Yao, you—" Baili Hengyuan sat by the bed, holding Baili Le Yao's hand, his voice choked with sobs, "You've been in a coma for a long time."
After saying that, he slowly told what had happened over the years.
Baili Leyao was shocked to learn that she had been in a coma for so many years. However, when she heard that her mother had passed away a few years ago, she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Le Yao, don't cry." Baili Hengyuan patted Baili Le Yao's hand and comforted her, "You just woke up now and your body is still very weak. Don't get too excited. If your mother knew that you were injured because of this, she wouldn't be happy."
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Mom wouldn't--" Baili Leyao cried even more sadly.
"This has nothing to do with you." Baili Zhenye said with a look of resentment, "It's all because of Yi Huai and Huang Wan. If it weren't for them, none of this would have happened."
Baili Leyao looked confused.
Soon, everyone started talking and telling all the dirty things that Yi Huai had done.
After listening to everyone's stories, Baili Leyao's face was filled with disbelief. She could never have imagined that the brother she had grown up with was actually such a person.
"Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with Mom's health anymore."
Zhong Nianyao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up at this moment, "You guys talk to Mom properly, I'll go get her some tonic medicine! We won't bother you here anymore."
The word "Mom" made Baili Leyao look up suddenly. She looked at Zhong Nianyao carefully, her eyes full of excitement, joy, confusion, and all kinds of expressions constantly intersecting. However, it can be seen that she longed to be with Zhong Nianyao at this moment.
"Dad, this... this is my..." daughter.
The last two words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them out.
Baili Leyao wanted to reach out and hold Zhong Nianyao's hand, but she couldn't help but feel a little timid. She had never expected that after being in a coma for so many years, when she woke up, her daughter would be so big.
It was clear in her memory that she had just given birth to a daughter.
No wonder she had felt such a warm connection with this girl just now. It must be the bond between blood and flesh! She longed to be with her daughter, but at the same time, she was afraid to be with her.
After so many years of absence, she was afraid that her daughter would blame and hate her.
"I almost forgot to introduce her." Baili Hengyuan slapped his head in frustration and quickly pulled Zhong Nianyao over. "Le Yao, this is your daughter—Zhong Nianyao. If it weren't for her this time, you wouldn't have woken up now. Also, we'll never know Yi Huai's true identity."
He felt extremely angry whenever he thought that if Zhong Nianyao hadn't come, they would have always been so kind to Yi Huai. Even if something really happened to Le Yao in the future, they would still continue to compensate Yi Huai.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Baili Leyao without any rejection. She smiled and nodded at Baili Leyao, "Mom, you just woke up, and your mind must still be very confused. Let grandpa and uncles tell you everything that has happened over the years!"
"As for us, once you're feeling better, we'll have plenty of time to catch up."
Although he really wanted Zhong Nianyao to stay, Baili Leyao did not force her and could only nod and say, "Okay."
Zhong Nianyao took Lu Yichen's hand and smiled sweetly at him. Then the two of them held hands and left the room.
Baili Leyao's gaze followed Zhong Nianyao all the time, and she did not look away until Zhong Nianyao's figure disappeared from her sight.
"Le Yao." Baili Hengyuan reached out and gently patted Baili Le Yao's hair. He wanted to say something, but in the end, all his comfort turned into just one sentence, "Don't think too much, everything will be fine."
"Dad!" Baili Leyao's voice was a little hoarse, and there was sadness in her tone, "Nianyao, when she talked to me, it was like she was talking to a stranger."
When Zhong Nianyao spoke to her, her tone was very polite, and she didn't say anything unpleasant. But because she was so polite, she felt like a stranger, polite but distant.
She could feel that although Zhong Nian Yao called her mother, deep down in her heart, she did not truly accept her as a mother.
"Le Yao, stop imagining things." Baili Hengyuan sighed and then spoke to comfort her, "Although you are mother and daughter, there are more than 20 years between you. It's not easy to bridge the gap. Just leave everything to time!"
"Yes!" Baili Zhenhua also spoke to comfort her, "Le Yao, the most important thing for you right now is to take care of your health first. If you want to properly repair the mother-daughter relationship between you and Le Yao, you will also need energy."
"That's right." Baili Zhenhua also nodded. "If you can't even take care of your own body, how can you have the energy to do anything for Nian Yao!"
Baili Hengyuan and his three sons tried to comfort Baili Leyao one after another. When they saw Baili Leyao's frown finally relax, they breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Zhong Nian Yao and Lu Yi Chen left Baili Le Yao's room and continued walking in the Baili family, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"Between you and Baili Leyao..." Lu Yichen considered his words and said, "It seems a little strange!"
"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao felt that there was nothing to hide. Moreover, in front of Lu Yichen, she didn't need to hide anything. "Relationships can't be maintained by blood ties. Although she and I are mother and daughter, in the final analysis, we are strangers who have never met."
Lu Yichen nodded and continued, "If you don't like getting along with her, there's no need to force yourself."
