When she woke up, she was still in the familiar infirmary. The difference was that this time, there was no doctor walking up to her. Instead, she heard the stiff sound of someone talking outside the door and vaguely heard someone mention her number.
Not long after, a female doctor pushed open the door and entered, looking at her with pity.
"You can leave now."
Ye Huanyan was stunned and looked down at her arm. It was already bandaged, but she still felt a dense pain like needles stabbing her arm from time to time.
"It's just a few blisters, but it's okay. The child is fine."
"Child?" Ye Huanyan was stunned.
Before the female doctor could answer, a man in casual clothes knocked on the door. "Doctor Zhao, can I take her away now?"
The female doctor nodded. "Yes."
Ye Huanyan was still confused. Was it her imagination? She clearly heard the doctor say something about a child.
"You said a child?" she asked.
"Yes, you're already pregnant. You're three months pregnant. Someone is taking you out now, and your sentence has been suspended."
Ye Huanyan felt like her brain had exploded, leaving only a roaring sound that buzzed in her ears.
So much so that she didn't hear a single word the female doctor said when she approached her. She also didn't have any recollection of who the man in civilian clothes was or how he walked out of the four-meter-tall iron gate of the Lanjiang City Women's Prison.
The prison's entrance was the backward Broken Cross Road, and a black Rolls-Royce was parked close to the road.
Her expression froze. She vaguely remembered that there was a car similar to this one in that person's garage, but because he had too many cars, and Qiao Mu was usually the one driving the commercial car as the driver, she did not remember clearly.
Was it him?
"Miss Ye, please."
The one who spoke was the man in black who took her out. He looked refined, but he was also ordinary. He was the kind of person who would not be easily recognized in a crowd.
She was stunned, and for some reason, she subconsciously rubbed her lower abdomen. Then, she mustered up her courage and walked toward the car.
But it was not Ling Han in the car.
The man had a head of silver-white hair, and the cross on his left ear shone coldly under the sunlight. She subconsciously took a step back and stood vigilantly in front of the car door, staring at him.
"Who are you?"
"I saved you, yet you don't say a word of thanks. Isn't such an attitude impolite?"
The silver-haired man's expression was cold. He glanced at her with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes. He sized her up from head to toe and did not hide his naked gaze.
Ye Huanyan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and frowned.
"I didn't ask you to save me, and how do you know that by bringing me out of here, you're saving me, not harming me?"
"Get in the car." There was a complicated look in the man's eyes, and his gaze softened.
"If you follow me, you will know that anyone in this world can harm you, except me."
"What a joke, I don't even know you."
Ye Huanyan's face darkened. After saying this, she turned around and walked towards the wide and empty road in the suburbs.
If she wanted to leave, she would leave by herself. Even if the person who came to pick her up was not Ling Han, for the sake of the child in her stomach, she wanted to give herself and him a chance. She had to find Ling Han.
"What's your relationship with Jiang Meilan?"
A deep and deep voice came from behind her, causing her nerves to tighten. Even her footsteps slowed down, and finally stopped completely.
"You know my mother?"
She turned around and sized up the silver-haired man.
Although she knew in her heart that her unreliable mother had a lot of lovers before she married into the Ling family, the man in front of her had a head of white hair. From his face, he looked less than thirty-five years old. It couldn't be that kind of relationship, right?
"She's your mother? Are you sure? "
The silver-haired man's eyes were filled with ridicule, but his words made Ye Huanyan really angry.
"How can I not know my own mother? What's wrong with you? "
"You said that Jiang Meilan is your mother, then what about your father?"
Ye Huanyan was so angry that she was trembling. This man who appeared out of nowhere to save her seemed to be looking at her from a god's perspective. It was as if she was small and laughable in his eyes, and could be played around with at any time.
"My mother is Jiang Meilan, my father is Ye Tingfeng. Do you want me to find them and confront them face to face? They are all in the cemetery in the southern suburbs. How about I take you there to see them? "
She glared at the silver-haired man angrily, and her expression was very ugly.
She had a child in her stomach, and she was suddenly released. After coming out, she had to face a man who suddenly appeared in front of her and asked her some confusing questions. Her chest was now full of anger.
The silver-haired man's expression did not change at all. He was still staring at Ye Huanyan. His silver hair fluttered in the wind, and the cross shone with a cold light under the sun.
"You are twenty-six years old today. Jiang Meilan and Ye Tingfeng got married twenty years ago. Before that, Jiang Meilan and you depended on each other. Your name is Jiang Huanyan."
Ye Huanyan's expression froze. "What did you say?"
"Twenty-six years ago, Jiang Meilan was a nurse in a small hospital in Lushui County. At that time, Ye Tingfeng was still studying abroad, and the two of them did not have any chance to meet."
The silver-haired man spoke slowly, and every word fell clearly into Ye Huanyan's ears.
To be honest, Ye Huanyan did not have a deep impression of her father. When she was ten years old, Ye Tingfeng passed away from cancer. He did not have time to undergo any chemotherapy or surgery. He passed away very peacefully and quickly. One of the few memories she had was that when they were young, Ye Tingfeng would always agree to her requests.
In her memory, Ye Tingfeng had never rejected any of her requests.
When she could not wake up in the morning and did not want to go to school, he would carry her to the amusement park and play the whole day. On Saturdays and Sundays, they would definitely go out for picnics or fly kites further away. In summer, they would go to the swimming pool.
It was said that childhood memories were not easy to be engraved in one's heart, and that was indeed the case. However, such memories would appear one by one when one thought of a certain person. Perhaps it was not very clear, but those colors were the most complete feelings at that time.
The silver-haired man's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He stared at her like this, as if he could see another person through her.
"Who exactly are you?" she asked.
"Are you sure you want to talk here?" The silver-haired man glanced at the car door.
Ye Huanyan frowned and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she steeled her heart and got into the car.
This man had broken the one thing that she had been sure of for the past twenty years, and she suddenly realized that everything was as he had said. There was a scene in her memory where Jiang Meilan carried her luggage and officially moved into the Ye family's big house.
She had always thought that it was just a family moving.
