"Half a month ago?"
Lin's father and mother exchanged glances, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
But they immediately suppressed their expressions, unwilling to let Zheng Yiran notice anything amiss.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Zheng Yiran asked, confused.
"There's no major issue. However, dear, it's better not to mention our meeting to Yi. Wait until you're willing to have the identification done and the results are out, then tell Yi."
Lin's father said gently. He didn't have any solid evidence yet, and if he spoke directly, the girl in front of him probably wouldn't believe him.
Lin's mother understood her husband's intention, so she echoed his words.
"Yes, dear. Let's confirm our relationship before telling Yi."
"Okay." Zheng Yiran didn't know why she couldn't tell Lu Yi, but she actually didn't want to.
After all, this matter wasn't confirmed yet, and even if it were, it would only be a matter between her and this family. Her relationship with Lu Yi wasn't close enough for that yet.
However, she couldn't help but wonder why Lu Yi, who knew that 'Yan Yan', had never mentioned that they looked so alike.
After Lin's father and mother left the ward, Lin's mother's face immediately turned furious.
"He, he did it on purpose!" Lin's mother's hands were trembling.
"Shumin, calm down. We've found Qianqian." Although Lin's father's voice was calm, his eyes were also filled with rage.
"I can't calm down! He found Qianqian long ago, and even managed to get Qianqian's sample somehow, but he never told us!"
"Half a month ago, Qianqian said she was matched with Yan Yan half a month ago. But Lu Yi told us months ago that he had found someone who could be matched with Yan Yan!"
Lin's mother's voice was agitated, as if she were ready to fight someone.
"The most important thing now is to acknowledge Qianqian. The fact that he could bring Qianqian here proves that Qianqian trusts him very much."
Lin's father analyzed Lu Yi's relationship with Zheng Yiran while trying to pacify his wife.
Although they had realized something was wrong with Lu Yi, he was still the child they watched grow up, and he had always been good to Yan Yan.
Their relationship, both sets of parents were happy to see.
But what Lu Yi had done now made Lin's father begin to doubt if he had misjudged him all along.
Given the relationship between their two families, why would Lu Yi find Qianqian and not tell them at all?
When the two returned to Lin Yan's ward, Lu Yi was still by the ward.
"Yan Yan is asleep, probably due to the anesthesia. But judging by her condition, if there's no rejection after the surgery, she should be fine."
Lu Yi said in a relaxed tone. He looked into the ward through the glass wall and saw Lin Yan's peaceful sleeping face. The knot in his heart could finally be loosened.
"Didn't Uncle and Aunt just go to ask the doctor? What did he say?"
"The doctor said Yan Yan's constitution is very good and her recovery after surgery should be quick, but we still need to observe her for a while to be sure."
Lin's father also looked at Lin Yan lying on the hospital bed. Now that Qianqian was found, Yan Yan could also rest easy.
"Yi, you should go back and rest. You've been guarding here for a long time, so go back to the hotel and rest."
"Old Lin, I'll stay here. You go back first. Come back to change me at mealtime."
Lin's mother said kindly, as if she had forgotten everything that had just happened, acting flawlessly.
"Aunt, you and Uncle should go back first! I'm young and can stay up longer."
Lu Yi shook his head. He had to check on Zheng Yiran later. To avoid making Lin's father and mother suspicious, it was better for him to stay here.
"Alright then, your Aunt and I will go back first. You can come directly to our house for dinner tonight." Lin's father patted Lu Yi on the shoulder.
"Yi, we'll trouble you with Yan Yan's situation. Call us if anything comes up." Lin's mother also showed Lu Yi a look of gratitude.
Then Lin's father and mother left hand in hand. Lu Yi saw them to the elevator entrance and then returned to Lin Yan's bedside.
Confirming that Lin Yan would not wake up for the time being, Lu Yi went to Zheng Yiran's ward.
After expressing his concern for Zheng Yiran, Lu Yi stayed with her for a while longer before leaving.
After Lu Yi left, Zheng Yiran's mind, heated by love, calmed down a little.
The words spoken by the couple who appeared today had left a mark on Zheng Yiran's heart.
Zheng Yiran somewhat believed that the couple were her biological parents, after all, the face that resembled hers was evidence.
But their advice made her start to recall Lu Yi's attitude. She hadn't felt anything unusual in their past interactions, but after this surgery, his attitude seemed a bit perfunctory.
Lu Yi seemed to lack his usual patience in his interactions with her. During the time he spent with her, he looked out the door and at his phone several times.
He seemed to be busy with something, yet he had to accompany her.
Zheng Yiran didn't want to think badly of Lu Yi, but she couldn't help but feel insecure.
In the evening, after the hospital visiting hours were over, Zheng Yiran left her ward.
Zheng Yiran knew which floor Yan Yan's ward was on. Unlike her sixth floor, she was in the intensive care unit on the tenth floor.
As for which ward, she could ask at the nurse's station. After all, she had surgery today, and it should be easy to find someone with 'Yan' in their name.
After getting out of the elevator, Zheng Yiran went to the nurse's station.
"Hello, I'd like to ask which ward the patient who had bone marrow transplant surgery today is in?"
"Are you asking about Ms. Lin Yan?" the nurse replied quickly. After all, there was only one bone marrow transplant surgery today.
"Yes."
So her name was Lin Yan? Yan, meaning beautiful. She seemed to feel her parents' expectations.
She recalled them calling her name this afternoon, Qianqian. So her name used to be Lin Qian?
"She's in ward 1006, down the corridor on the left." The nurse pointed down the corridor.
"Thank you!" Zheng Yiran thanked her and walked that way.
"Host, the female lead is walking towards this ward." The system informed Lin Yan.
Lin Yan wasn't asleep at the moment. After all, the anesthetic had worn off, and her lower back was extremely sore.
She lay on the bed, using memories of recently read medical books to distract herself.
"Mm, it seems Mom and Dad have met her. Now that she's coming to see me, she probably believes what they said."
Lin Yan opened her eyes, ready to meet this sister she had never met before.
This was the first time in several worlds that she had a full sister.
Zheng Yiran walked to ward 1006 and saw the person lying on the hospital bed through the glass.
At that moment, Lin Yan on the bed also looked out at Zheng Yiran.
"They look so alike!"
The same thought crossed their minds.
