Chapter 839: She Refused To Have Too Much Physical Contact With Ye Tianxin
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Grandmother, I’m Tianxin.”
Ye Tianxin reached out to hold Grandmother’s hands in hers, but Grandmother’s pulled out her hands from Ye Tianxin’s in a split second. She refused to have too much physical contact with Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin hung her head. She looked at her empty hands, her heart filled with disappointment.
Did she not treat Grandmother well enough?
Was that why Grandmother couldn’t remember her?
“Mum, Tianxin’s really your granddaughter. You can take a look at the photos if you don’t believe me.”
Xie Yi gestured for Ye Tianxin to bring the photobook that she prepared. There were many photos of Ye Tianxin and her grandmother inside.
Xie Yi sat sideways on the edge of the bed and flipped through the photos in the photobook with Grandmother.
“Hey, can you remember anything?”
Grandmother shook her head and spoke in a playful tone, “Dear, I’m tired.”
“Okay, go ahead and sleep.”
Grandmother closed her eyes obediently, and Xie Yi started coaxing her to sleep, like how she would do to a kid.
It was not long before Grandmother’s breathing became steady and deep.
Xie Yi gestured for Ye Tianxin to follow her. Ye Tianxin followed Xie Yi, and both of them went to the corridor outside the patient ward.
“Tianxin, the old lady just can’t remember about you temporarily.”
Ye Tianxin sniffed her nose hard to stop herself from crying. She said with a quivering voice, “I understand, Dr. Xie. According to my grandmother’s condition, when will she remember that I’m her granddaughter by blood…”
“Tianxin, the old lady’s currently recovering well. It’s just a matter of time for her to remember about you. Please don’t feel bad about it just because she doesn’t have any memory about you now.”
Although Ye Tianxin knew Dr. Xie was telling the truth, she could not help but hold complex feelings in her heart.
Besides, Ye Tianxin could not understand how Grandmother could mistakenly treat Xie Yi as her mum when she could not remember her granddaughter, Tianxin?
Ye Tianxin stared at Xie Yi’s face attentively. Xie Yi looked nothing like her mum in the photos.
How could Grandmother treat Xie Yi as her daughter?
“I’m just sad about it, Dr. Xie. I’ve lived my life with Grandmother ever since I was born. I had always thought that we must be the most important person to each other. I did not expect there was a day that Grandmother would forget about me.”
Xie Yi understood how Ye Tianxin felt. She rested her hands on Ye Tianxin’s shoulders and said in a low voice, “It’s natural for the human brain to instinctively escape from the things that one does not want to face after certain things had happened. You said that the old lady’s car accident was related to her daughter, right? Then there may be some unsolved issues that are related to her daughter. You were never exposed to these kinds of cases before. You’ll gradually understand that it’s normal when you have more exposure to such cases.”
Ye Tianxin felt weighed down with Xie Yi’s hands resting on her shoulders.
Ye Tianxin wasn’t sure how to describe what she was feeling deep down.
It was not hard to understand the justifications, but it wasn’t easy to face reality.
“Tianxin.”
Jing Zhichen carried a bouquet in his arms and walked towards them. He handed the flowers to Ye Tianxin.
“Tianxin, how’s Aunty doing?”
Ye Tianxin shook her head. “She’s still the same. She doesn’t remember me, so she won’t have any memories about you, either.”
Worried that Ye Tianxin might become upset by this, Jing Zhichen tried to comfort her. “It’ll be fine, at least Aunty woke up from her sleep. It’ll only be a matter of time before she can remember you. Oh, right, Tianxin, are you sure that you won’t be attending the award ceremony?”
“Brother, I’m not attending. I’m not planning to start a career in the entertainment industry anyway.”
Jing Zhichen accepted several invitations of endorsements for the national intangible cultural heritage on Ye Tianxin’s behalf, but she did not have any spare time to film for the endorsements yet.
“Tianxin, I’m here today because the National Channel came to me and requested for you to attend the New Year Eve’s celebration ceremony.”
