Zhao Yilu hung up the phone and stood there in a daze. His suspicions were confirmed, and an indescribable wave of emotions washed over him. He recalled the words in Fan Hua's letter, and though he felt immense grief, he also felt relief.
Fortunately, Fan Hua did not disappear completely, she just started over with a brand new identity.
Zhao walked slowly into the ward, trying to make his steps appear steady. He didn't want Xiaoxiao and Yuanyuan to notice anything unusual.
Walking to the bed, he gently placed Fan Hua's letter and photo album on the bedside table, and his eyes gently swept over the sleeping Fan Hua, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this moment in his heart.
Xiaoxiao saw Zhao Yilu coming and immediately stepped forward, her voice trembling as she asked, "Dad, what did Mom say in the letter? Do you know what's right? Tell me and my brother quickly, what happened to Mom?"
"Xiaoxiao, Yuanyuan," Zhao Yilu was silent for a moment before continuing, his voice low and hoarse, "Your mother may continue to sleep and never wake up again..."
"What?" Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly. "Dad, what do you mean she won't wake up again? Mom is clearly still awake. She's just asleep, right?"
"Yes, Dad, please explain clearly and stop hiding it from us!" Yuanyuan also spoke anxiously.
Zhao Yilu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly opened them and spoke calmly, "Your mother may have returned to the starting point of life in a way we cannot understand. She didn't belong to this body in the first place. Now, she has simply returned to her original position..."
Xiaoxiao and Yuanyuan were both stunned, as if they didn't understand what Zhao Yilu was saying.
Seeing the looks on their faces, Zhao Yilu decided to tell them about Fan Hua traveling through a book and coming to this world. He also told Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao the letter Fan Hua left behind and the news he had just heard from the phone.
Xiaoxiao and Yuanyuan took the letter and read it together. They first showed an expression of disbelief on their faces, and then fell into deep thought.
Xiaoxiao spoke first, her voice trembling slightly. "Dad, you're saying that Mommy has turned into another person, a newborn baby. This is unbelievable!"
Zhao Yilu nodded, looking at his wife who was sleeping, his eyes full of loneliness: "Yes, although this is incredible, but combined with the letter your mother left and the phone call just now, this is the most reasonable explanation."
"Dad, did Mom...did she know this would happen? That's why she left us a letter?" Xiaoxiao's voice was so trembling that it was almost inaudible.
Zhao Yilu nodded, holding the person lying on the bed, "She probably had a premonition a long time ago, but just didn't tell us..."
Yuanyuan clutched the letter tightly, her knuckles cracking. "Is this all we can do? Just watch Mom sleep forever? Can't we find a way to summon Mom?"
Zhao Yilu was silent for a moment, then he warned him in a steady tone, "You can't tell anyone about your mother's transmigration. Tell the outside world that she's in a coma after a car accident. Daddy will figure out the rest!"
…
After staying in the hospital for a few more days, Zhao Yilu saw that all the doctors said that there was nothing wrong with Fan Hua's body, but she was just unconscious, so he took Fan Hua home to recuperate.
Zhao Yilu not only washes Fan Hua himself every day, but also hires a professional medical team to give Fan Hua muscle massage and related training every day.
Fan Hua was like a sleeping porcelain doll. Except for her unconsciousness, she was no different from an ordinary person.
A few days later, after Zhao Yilu arranged his family's affairs, he flew to Wu City.
He had already inquired about Fan Mingqi's current residence and took a car there directly, carrying two large bags full of things.
Arriving at the Fan family's house, Fan Mingqi opened the door and saw Zhao Yilu. He immediately recognized her and froze in shock. After a long while, he spoke: "Aunt...Aunt...Why are you here? Please come in!"
Zhao Yilu didn't respond to the call of "Auntie", but just followed her into the house silently carrying her things.
"Auntie, have you been having a good time these days? Where's my aunt? Why didn't she come? I miss her so much..." Fan Mingqi said excitedly.
Fan Zhiyong and Zhang Yumei, who had come to Wu Shi to help with the confinement care, immediately recognized Zhao Yilu and greeted him warmly, "Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you haven't changed at all!"
Zhao Yilu smiled and responded to everyone's enthusiasm, then said: "I heard that there is a new addition to the family, so I came here specially to congratulate you."
After saying that, he took out the gifts he had prepared long ago. They were all baby-specific items he had picked out from the most expensive baby store in Beijing. There were not only baby clothes, socks, and blankets, but also various toys, milk powder, nutritional supplements... He even bought two large bags of diapers, which were only available on the market a few days ago...
The Fan family looked at the two large sacks of stuff that Zhao Yilu had brought with him and were so shocked that they were speechless. This... this was too much!
Fan Mingqi said, "Auntie, this is really too much. How can we accept it?"
Zhao Yilu smiled and said, "Not much. I bought more, but I can't take them all. I'll take these this time and leave the rest in Beijing. They're all for the baby."
Seeing that everyone was still in shock, Zhao Yilu couldn't help but ask nervously, "Can I see the baby?"
Fan Mingqi immediately came to his senses, "No problem, I'll go to the inner room and bring it out for you to see!"
After saying that, he quickly walked into the room where his wife was in confinement.
After a while, Fan Mingqi came out holding a little baby wrapped in a small quilt and showed it to Zhao Yilu.
