Beep! Beep! Beep!
Ye Qing Xin stirred in her sleep as she heard the beeping sound. Her brow furrowed, as she wondered just where this sound came from. She opened her eyes slowly and searched around. Then, a figure in a blue dress caught her eyes before she closed them again.
There was a long silence in the room.
Ye Qing Xin finally opened her eyes again and saw a face looking back at her with worry.
The face appeared so suddenly, making her heartbeat accelerate. If she had the energy, she would definitely scream in shock. Unfortunately, she was too weak to even lift a finger.
"You're awake!" The person spoke. The corner of her lips trembled. Then, she stood up straight to wipe the tears streaming down her cheek.
Ye Qing Xin frowned.
Where was she? What was this place?
She moved her head to look around and realized that she was in a hospital.
Her memory flooded in. The last thing she remembered was staring at the street light above her head. The light was especially bright and dazzling.
That's right. She fell from the rooftop of her office last night while arguing with Yang Yi. Did she survive the fall?
Somehow, Ye Qing Xin thought that it was quite impossible. No one should survive after falling from the fifteenth floor.
Was this a miracle?
Her lips curled into a mocking arc.
She did not think that this was a miracle. Perhaps, this is what the force do. Even if she wanted to die, the force would not let her die.
Does she have to live miserably like this?
There were noises around her. Then, a man in a white coat walked over to look at her. Just by his attire, Ye Qing Xin knew that he was her doctor,
Ye Qing Xin opened her lips, wanting to ask him some questions. However, her throat was too dry and she could not utter any word.
"Doctor, how is she? How is my sister? Is she all right?"
Sister?
Ye Qing Xin looked at the woman who had first appeared the moment she opened her eyes again. She studied her face and thought that this woman looked quite familiar. But Ye Qing Xin was sure that she had never seen this woman before.
But, what did she just say?
Sister?
Ye Qing Xin knew that she was the only child in the family. Could it be that Ye Sen had another daughter behind her mother's back?
The woman in front of her has all grown up. Ye Qing Xin guessed that they were only a few years apart. Ye Sen should have had this daughter while he was still married to her mother.
Ye Qing Xin was disgusted.
She already knew that her father was a bad person. But she did not know that he was a disgusting person! Just how long has he been in an affair?
Ye Qing Xin could feel the fragments of respect she had for her father had totally disappeared.
The doctor took the clipped file beside the bed as he glanced at the monitor beside her. Then, he took out his small flashlight and looked into Ye Qing Xin's eyes.
"Miss Ye, how are you feeling?"
Her lips trembled. "Pain." Her voice was barely a whisper.
The doctor frowned. He gave Ye Qing Xin's body a check-up before he turned to that woman again. As the doctor was giving her body a check-up, The woman went to the side to make a phone call.
"My name is Doctor Qi," the Doctor introduced himself. "Do you remember what happened?"
Ye Qing Xin nodded. But because of her sore throat, she did not speak another word.
The doctor spoke to the 'sister' about Ye Qing Xin's condition. However, she was not listening to them as she was busy thinking about her father.
Once the doctor had left, the woman came back to her side. The worried look on her face had not disappeared.
"Sister, do you want something to drink?" The woman moved to the side table to pour a glass of water. Then, as if remembering that Ye Qing Xin was injured and could not move that much, the woman took a spoon to help Ye Qing Xin drink some water slowly.
Her throat was no longer parched. But Ye Qing Xin felt uneasy to stay with this woman under the same roof.
Ye Qing Xin tried to move, but her body, especially her head was in too much pain. At this time, she could only shoot the woman a look.
"Sister... you... why do you look at me like that?" The woman asked. There was a hint of fear in her voice and tears began to form in her eyes. "Did I do something wrong?" Her voice sounded aggrieved. "Are you uncomfortable?"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Qing Xin then closed her eyes.
Perhaps she would not feel angry if she did not see this woman.
"Then, sister, you should have a rest. Mom and Dad will arrive soon. Dad said that they were already on their way here. " the woman spoke. "They would be so happy to see that you have awakened. You don't know how they have been worried about you."
Her brow furrowed.
Mom and Dad?
Her mother had passed away years ago because of her father. This woman... was she talking about her mother?
Ye Qing Xin's lips curled into a sneer. She had no plan to meet this woman's mother as well as her father. Her heart had died.
Just then, the door was pushed open and the sound of footsteps approached.
"Xin Xin! Xin Xin!"
The strange voice made Ye Qing Xin look up again.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Ye Qing Xin saw the face of an elder man and woman looking back at her with concern.
"Xin Xin, how are you feeling?" The old man held her hand. "Dad was so worried about you."
Dad?
This person in front of her was not Ye Sen. Could it be that he had recognized the wrong person?
Ye Qing Xin gave the man a look over. Her throat was still a little uncomfortable, but she still forced herself to speak, "Who are you?"
The moment the questions escaped her lips, the three people in her room began to look at each other in confusion.
Ye Qing Xin's gaze stopped at the older man. "You are not my dad."
