Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Missing Her, Really Missing Her (3)_1

Aunt Bai understood what Ji Yunhuan meant. "How could I not know this? But... he can’t move on. Before you forgive him, it’s impossible for him to move on. That’s why I’m here to beg you."

Aunt Bai’s eyes revealed the worry she had suppressed for three whole years. It was a gaze full of motherly love, which made Ji Yunhuan suddenly think of her own mother.

Ji Yunhuan could only nod. "I’ll try. If I meet him, I’ll talk to him if I can."

It had been three years. She hadn’t forgotten Chenchen, but the pain in her heart had long faded.

She thought Bai Liyan should have moved on too. But now it looked like he was still stuck in the past?

"Really? Are you sure you’re not just brushing me off?" Aunt Bai didn’t seem to fully believe Ji Yunhuan’s words. Ji Yunhuan was actually just saying whatever came to mind; she didn’t even know if she would see Bai Liyan again.

Seeing Bai Liyan’s mother beg her like this, she really didn’t know what to say.

After all, it wasn’t certain that a few words from her would make Bai Liyan better.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan remain silent, Aunt Bai knew deep down that Ji Yunhuan wasn’t being sincere.

She felt that only if Ji Yunhuan genuinely helped Bai Liyan could he possibly return to his old self.

She wasn’t looking for empty words from Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan sat there, feeling the restaurant’s atmosphere becoming unusually quiet.

She was just thinking about how to give Aunt Bai a satisfactory answer when Aunt Bai suddenly collapsed onto the table...

The cup on the table fell with Aunt Bai, shattering on the ground. Seeing this scene, Ji Yunhuan was taken aback.

The waiter hurried over too. "Sister Ji."

"Call an ambulance." Ji Yunhuan quickly composed herself and instructed.

She hadn’t expected things to turn out like this.

Aunt Bai had looked very healthy, but then she just collapsed.

The ambulance arrived quickly. Aunt Bai was taken to the hospital, and a waitress from the restaurant went along with Ji Yunhuan. In such situations, it’s better to have an extra person; otherwise, it could get confusing later.

At the hospital, they learned that Aunt Bai’s condition was an old ailment. After the hospital’s treatment, it was confirmed that there was nothing major. The doctor still said that her family should be notified.

Ji Yunhuan had no choice but to call Bai Liyan. This was his mother. Since Aunt Bai had fallen ill, he should be informed, and it would also make it easier for him to handle the subsequent hospitalization matters.

Bai Liyan hadn’t changed his number.

Ji Yunhuan had always remembered Bai Liyan’s number, even more clearly than Qi Cheng’s, because she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to reach anyone if something happened to Chenchen. This had even caused Qi Cheng to complain before.

Ji Yunhuan stood by the garden plants, holding her phone, and told Bai Liyan, "Your mother is sick. You should come over."

"My mother?" Bai Liyan didn’t even know his mother was in City A. Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s call, he found it inexplicable. But he still rushed over.

Bai Liyan saw Ji Yunhuan at the hospital entrance, his face full of suspicion. "My mother is really here?"

"She came to my restaurant to eat. I happened to see her." Ji Yunhuan led Bai Liyan to the ward. Bai Liyan followed behind her.

She didn’t look at him, so she didn’t notice the stiffness on Bai Liyan’s face.

The doctor was surprised to see Bai Liyan, not expecting this woman to be Bai Liyan’s mother. As Ji Yunhuan had said, it wasn’t apparent at all.

Bai Liyan looked at his mother on the bed. She was still unconscious. The doctor beside him couldn’t contain his excitement and said admiringly to Bai Liyan, "I didn’t expect this lady to be Dr. Bai’s mother."

"I’m no longer Dr. Bai." Bai Liyan said coldly.

The doctor continued to express his feelings, "Dr. Bai has long been the idol of all medical personnel. Even though we aren’t in cardiology, we’ve still heard of your great name."

Bai Liyan remained silent. He was too tired to say anything more.

His mother’s condition was an old ailment. With proper care, there shouldn’t be any major issues. Usually, it wouldn’t cause her to faint. But still...

He didn’t even know his mother was here.

He never imagined that his mother would faint while she was with Ji Yunhuan!

Ji Yunhuan watched from the side and noticed that Bai Liyan’s expression wasn’t good.

Looking at him, he seemed very worried about his mother!

Just as she was thinking this, Bai Liyan grabbed her arm. "Come with me."

They went straight outside.

His grip was strong and hurt Ji Yunhuan a bit. She struggled twice but to no avail.

In the hallway outside, away from people, Bai Liyan let go of Ji Yunhuan’s hand. "Why was my mother with you?"

"She came on her own. I was surprised too." Ji Yunhuan rubbed her hand that had been pinched.

There was an indescribable coldness in Bai Liyan’s dark eyes, as if...

As if she was the one who caused his mother to be like this.

Was it necessary?

Didn’t he know his mother had this old ailment?

"What did you talk about before she fainted?" Bai Liyan asked, just as Ji Yunhuan had guessed, coldly questioning her.

Ji Yunhuan recalled her conversation with Aunt Bai but didn’t want to tell Bai Liyan. "We didn’t talk about anything. She just happened to faint..."

As she explained, Bai Liyan kept staring at her, seemingly not believing her defense. Ji Yunhuan found it somewhat amusing. "You don’t believe me?"

Bai Liyan took a deep breath. "I know you’ve always hated me, hated me for harming Chenchen. But if you have a problem, come at me. Ms. Ji, my family is innocent, especially my mother. She’s the kindest woman in this world. Please let her go. What I owe you, I will repay."

Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan, thinking he really believed she intentionally aggravated his mother to get revenge for Chenchen.

It seemed that in his eyes, she really was a vengeful woman.

Fine then!

Since he misunderstood, she had no reason to explain.

She deliberately smiled. "Yes! I purposely aggravated her like this. You harmed Chenchen. I’ve always disliked you and have been wanting to take revenge. Now I finally have the chance. Do you hate me? What can you do about it?"

She admired herself, being the villain felt really great.

Especially when the person in front of her was Bai Liyan, the so-called genius, revered by everyone as Dr. Bai.

From when the accident happened to Chenchen until now, three years had passed. She had rarely spoken to Bai Liyan and had never mentioned her hatred in front of him, but Bai Liyan knew she hated him.

Hearing Ji Yunhuan’s provocative words, Bai Liyan’s lips formed a helpless smile, "You really do hate me."

He knew she could never forgive him.

She loved Chenchen so much, how could she forgive him?

Yet it was this very hatred that had suffocated him for three whole years.
