Chapter 550: The Deepest Feelings Hidden in My Heart
The days of being in the hospital, a lot had really happened. Yu Linna’s life had undergone a heaven-and-earth change overnight. This kind of change was something she had never imagined. The doctor had said that she still needed to stay in the hospital, and a day had passed since her DNA identification report. A person who was quite a stranger to Yu Linna had also come to the hospital.
That was a man, a mixed-race man. His appearance was more inclined to an Asian, but you could clearly see that he had mixed-race genes. This man was panting and had come to the hospital room. His briefcase had slipped to the ground. Looking at Yu Linna, who was sitting on the hospital bed, he, a big man, had started to cry right there.
Who is this person?
This was Yu Linna’s first reaction.
At this time, Catherine had come in from outside with a lunch box. Seeing the man at the door, she had put down her things and had given him a tissue.
“Jiayang, come in. This is your daughter.”
My dad???
Yu Linna had a bewildered look on her face.
Yu Jiayang wiped away his tears and slowly walked over, looking at the girl in the hospital bed. The longing in his heart could not be suppressed no matter what.
“Nana. I’s sorry for coming so late. I also just learned about your matter from your mother. I have put down all my work, just to see you once. Your mother is also really something, not telling me earlier. But… you’re actually still alive, and you’ve grown up so much. This is the best gift God has given me this year.”
Yu Jiayang had squatted down and was looking at Yu Linna in front of the hospital bed. That heart of his had also melted now.
Catherine held a tissue and wiped her husband’s face, her face full of apology.
“I’m sorry, honey. I was too happy and forgot to tell you about this, which made you come so late. But I’m really happy to see that Nana is still alive.”
“These are not important anymore. The important thing is that she is still alive.”
Yu Jiayang wiped away his tears and said with a smile.
Yu Linna looked at this couple. They were clearly extremely strange people to her, but at this moment, she did not feel strange at all. The so-called blood relationship was probably like this.
She looked at her own hands, at this couple.
“I have a family?”
She still hadn’t been able to completely digest this information.
After all, this was really too shocking to her, and also too shocking. After more than ten years, she had gotten used to everything. But suddenly, her biological parents were right in front of her. She still felt that this feeling was very strange.
Because she had been an orphan for more than ten years, and had also gotten used to living alone. But now, she actually had a family.
Thinking like this, her tears flowed down.
“Nana? Why are you crying? Are you not feeling well anywhere? If you have anything, don’t keep it to yourself!”
Catherine was quite nervous and quickly squatted down to ask about her well-being, for fear that something would happen to her. This was her daughter who had been missing for more than ten years. If anything happened to her, she would absolutely not be able to forgive herself!
But Yu Linna’s tears simply could not be stopped. She wiped them and wiped them, but still could not wipe them away. In the end, she gave up. She just sat there, letting her own tears flow non-stop. To her, it was probably happiness. To have been lonely for more than ten years, to have wandered for so many years, and to have found her own relatives. At this moment, she felt that it didn’t matter even if it was fake. At least for now she could enjoy the love she had never enjoyed before.
She had always longed to be loved, had longed for a family. After drifting for so many years, just as she was about to give up, God had played another joke on her.
A dream that she could wake up from laughing, was now a reality.
Yu Linna had been crying all along, and couldn’t stop no matter what. Catherine had been constantly comforting her, telling her not to cry, but doing so had instead made Yu Linna cry even more fiercely. She had accidentally pulled on her wound, and the doctor had been called for help. After the doctor had dealt with it, he had asked the family to be quiet and not to disturb the patient’s rest. Yu Linna had taken a sleeping pill and had fallen asleep.
“Doctor, how is my daughter?”
What Catherine was most nervous about was still Yu Linna’s matter. The doctor was holding a notebook, writing and revising, and then he had said that there was no major problem.
“The most important thing is still to rest well. There’s no problem with taking the medicine on time. It’s possible that she has a big mountain pressing down in her heart, and has been suppressing herself for a long time, to the point where she didn’t even notice when her hands were bleeding. Now she seems to have suddenly relaxed, and the emotions that have accumulated over these years have exploded, so that’s probably why she’s been crying non-stop. If she rests well, then there will be no problem.”
The doctor’s words had also put the two of them at ease.
Catherine looked through the door and window, looking at the soundly sleeping Yu Linna, and also the IV drip that was being administered. Her heart ached a little.
“She’s still alive.”
Her forehead was resting on the door. Even now she still felt that this was an incredible thing.
“For so many years, I thought she was already dead. Today God told me that she is alive, and has also grown up. But the one who has wronged her is me. I’m a real bastard. If I had known that she was still alive, I would absolutely not have shut myself in at home all day. I should have flown all over the world. Even if I had to find her at the ends of the earth, I would have brought her back. How could I have been so foolish? Why didn’t I suspect this case at that time? If it weren’t for the fact that she had accidentally come to America, had accidentally had a DNA test with a doctor, I would still be in the dark…”
The burden that had been entangled in Catherine’s heart all these years had been lifted, but a greater guilt had also followed.
Yes, the one who had wronged the child was she. She had not fulfilled a mother’s responsibility. After the child had gone missing, after the child’s fake death, she had actually not gone to suspect if that was real. All these years, she had delayed this child a lot of things. She had grown up now, had grown so big, but to the child, she was also just a stranger.
So not a good person.
She was blaming herself.
Yu Jiayang hugged his wife.
“The one who is at fault is also me. I have not fulfilled a father’s responsibility. If you want to blame someone, then blame me. The fault is all on me.”
Yu Jiayang let go of his wife, looked at the child in the hospital room, and his eyes also became fierce.
“I will definitely investigate clearly! I have to investigate! Thoroughly! I will absolutely not forgive those beasts for having snatched my daughter, and for having made her suffer so much. The most despicable is that bastard who actually hit my daughter in public! You asshole! I will not spare these people.”
Yu Jiayang’s eyes were quite fierce. At this moment, he was as if he had returned to the fierce, ruthless, and exterminating Yu Jiayang of the business wars.
The man who had beaten Yu Linna on the street before had been taken to the police station by the police. But according to the criminal’s confession, he was just a little ruffian who had taken someone else’s money and had gone to beat a girl according to the employer’s orders. As long as he had beaten her unconscious and had taken her away, the person who had handed her over would have given this little ruffian the money. But as for what the employer wanted this little girl for, he did not know. This little ruffian had not thought so much either. After all, he could also be considered to be in the triads. He just wanted to make money, and then he had caught Yu Linna on the street and had made a move, had beaten her fiercely with a wooden stick, and had even drawn blood. Just as he was about to take this girl away, the police had suddenly discovered him.
The police had followed his clues to the handover place, but had not found the employer he had mentioned. Either the news had leaked, or he was lying. But the little ruffian had said that he knew nothing, that he was just taking money to do things. The police had been furious at that time. But the clue had been broken here. The rest would depend on how the police interrogated him.
But this one incident had also come very coincidentally. To have unintentionally let Yu Linna and Catherine recognize each other, in a sense, it could also be considered to have done a good thing.
Yu Xiayue had called back from outside, had returned to the hospital, had found her mom, and had quickly reported to her:
“Mom, Dad, I’ve told Grandpa and Grandma, and also Grandpa and Grandma on my mother’s side. They said they’ll be here right away. They seem to be very excited. Our family hasn’t had such a big event in many years.”
Speaking of this matter, Yu Xiayue was still very excited.
For the Yu family, this was indeed a very exciting day. A child who should have been dead for many years had now actually “come back from the dead.” This matter was also too wonderful.
Of course, with this matter came also the case from seventeen years ago, and also the death certificate from fifteen years ago. Because of this matter, Yu Jiayang had sued the police officer who had handled this matter back then. After all, when the case was closed back then, he was also a party involved. How could he have made such a muddle-headed case? The person was clearly alive and well, yet he had told me she was dead? Too absurd!
The California police department was also extremely busy. The police officers who had been involved in this case back then had either resigned or had been transferred. Where were there still a few who were still here? For this matter, they could only work overtime to thoroughly investigate this matter. After all, the other party’s background was not small. In any case, they were world-class business people, and also the world’s number one jewelry designer. His wife was even the Hollywood queen of the past. This matter involved their daughter’s case. You say, can this be sloppy?
Especially that little ruffian who had hit someone, he was even listed as a key investigation target.
This case was far more complicated than it looked on paper. A case from more than ten years ago was actually a “wrongful case.” This was too absurd. Where was the California police officer’s face to be put? Such a big case, and they had actually made such a blunder. And the age was too long ago. It was also quite difficult to investigate.
Back then, the Hollywood queen’s daughter had gone missing. The California police department had taken on this case, but two years later, the police department had issued a death certificate, and the case had thus been closed. But the mastermind of this case back then had never been investigated, and the case had also been pressed in the police department’s archives. And this year, as the year was about to end, this case had actually had a turning point. The Hollywood queen’s daughter, who had been issued a death certificate by the police department early on, and had been proven to have already died, was actually still alive! And she had returned to America by herself. According to her own statement, she had actually been living in China for more than ten years. This also meant that the case from back then had actually involved a transnational crime, and had become confusing at once.
This matter had not been publicized at present. Only the people in the police department knew. But the police’s work was quite busy. They had a large pile of things to do.
Yu Linna’s sudden “resurrection” was an accident for everyone. Although some people were suspicious, the DNA identification report was not fake. At least ten hospitals had been identified, and the results were all the same. Could this matter still be faked? To fake it was to go to jail!
Yu Jiayang’s attitude was very firm. He had said that if they did not give an explanation, and there was no satisfactory result, this matter would definitely not be easily settled. The police also did not dare to be careless.
…
At the same time…
Eric had answered the phone in his own office. He was drinking coffee by himself, listening to his subordinate’s report.
“How did it turn out? The street ruffian you found is so unreliable. To make a move on the street, is he an idiot?”
“But you said not to find someone too conspicuous, and that it would be best to find some street ruffians…”
“But this matter was also done too absurdly. The person has been caught. Fortunately, this street ruffian knows nothing. The police will probably just lock him up for a while after the interrogation, and he might be released in a while. But the next plan has to be changed.”
Eric was sitting there, the stopwatch on the table slowly turning, turning bit by bit, until it had reached the hour…
This stopwatch was something he had been carrying with him for more than ten years, and at the same time, it also carried the memories of more than ten years. More than ten years ago, too many things had happened. That was a chaotic and complicated era.
