Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 924 - 793: Regaining Strength

The hushed murmurs sounded like a light drizzle.

Ye Lingyue didn’t know how long she had been unconscious; she only felt her eyelids were heavy.

So heavy that she didn’t want to open her eyes, because once she did, she would have to face the fact that the person was no longer there.

She wished so dearly that when she opened her eyes, she would see that face that had accompanied her so many times.

But she understood that this time, when she opened her eyes, he would never appear again.

Unwilling to accept reality, she would rather remain in a coma, at least in the fog of it all, she could temporarily forget the reality that he was already dead.

A tickling sensation of moistness on her cheek indicated to Ye Lingyue that Little Zhiyo was licking her.

These days, Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya had been by her side constantly.

Little Zhiyo tirelessly licked her cheeks every day, licking away her tears. The little creature must have been terribly worried.

"It’s already been ten days, and Yue’er hasn’t woken up. Fengxing, I’m really worried..."

The voice of a woman, tinged with a hoarse sob, gradually brought Ye Lingyue’s consciousness back together.

She also heard the sound of a child crying.

It was her mother’s voice.

She remembered, before she went to Sifang City, she received a letter from her mother.

"Huanyu, don’t be upset. Ling Yue has always been a strong child; she will definitely recover." Her stepfather, Nie Fengxing, comforted from the side.

"Adoptive mother, don’t be too sad, Sister Ling Yue will definitely wake up." That voice belonged to her adoptive sister Lan Cai’er.

Next, it was her adoptive father and mother’s voices.

Why had everyone come?

Ye Lingyue could roughly guess; perhaps after she fainted, Yan Che and others sent her back to the Daxia Mother and Nie Fengxing’s city to guard.

She had been unconscious for ten days; such a situation must have frightened everyone greatly.

But why was Lan Cai’er here, she should be near childbirth, and should be in Yan City with Yan Jiu.

How could she travel in such a condition and arrive here?

Ye Lingyue felt a wave of guilt; the death of Feng Xun and Wu Zhong had hit her hard.

It plunged her into despair momentarily, almost causing her to forget that she had family and friends besides them.

Her state of unconsciousness caused endless pain to those who cared and loved her.

She could not continue like this.

She must cheer up, so as not to disappoint them.

As her eyelids trembled heavily, it was Little Zhiyo, lying next to Ye Lingyue, who first noticed it.

It joyfully made a sound.

The people gathered around the bed all crowded over.

With a surge of stinging in her eyes, Ye Lingyue slowly opened them.

What came into view were familiar faces.

Only, among the crowd, that person was no longer there.

Even though she already knew that opening her eyes would show her this scene, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but redden her eyes.

"Yue’er, my dear daughter, if you’re hurting, just cry out, don’t hold it in." Ye Huangyu hugged her daughter and started crying.

Beside them, Lan Cai’er, Lady Lan, and Little Wuya also reddened their eyes.

"Stop crying, Yue’er has woken up nicely." Lan Yingwu and Nie Fengxing, seeing Ye Lingyue awake, first breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw the pile of crying daughters, their noses also grew sore.

"We’ve already informed the Feng Residence about Feng Xun. Princess Qingfeng and Feng Lan are already on their way. Yue’er, mother knows you’re in pain, but the deceased are gone, you must pull yourself together." Ye Huangyu wiped her reddened eyes and carefully examined Ye Lingyue.

In just ten days, Ye Lingyue had lost a lot of weight, her face, already small, now appeared the size of a palm.

Her eyes were larger, yet devoid of their former vitality, leaving her looking lifeless, as if the death of Feng Xun had also drained all the life from her.

During her unconscious period, Ye Lingyue always clutched a Moonflower tightly, muttering "Feng Xun," "Wu Zhong" repeatedly.

Ye Huangyu had tried several times to take the flower away, but found that Ye Lingyue simply wouldn’t let go, no matter what.

"Mother, I promise you, and I promised him, that I will live well." Ye Lingyue caressed the Moonflower in her hand, her gaze somewhat bleak.

Seeing Ye Lingyue awake, Ye Huangyu hurriedly ordered someone to prepare herbal medicine and fed her some.

Only then did Ye Lingyue’s condition slightly improve.

"Adoptive mother, can I speak to Sister Ling Yue alone?"

Lan Cai’er suddenly spoke up.

It had only been a few months since Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er parted in Mercenary City.

Lan Cai’er’s belly was much bigger than before, appearing about six or seven months along.

She didn’t look much better than Ye Lingyue, with swollen, red eyes and a face full of unspoken words.

Ye Lingyue only then noticed Lan Cai’er, and looking at her side, realized that Yan Jiu wasn’t there, alerting her to something amiss.

Since Lan Cai’er got pregnant, Yan Jiu was like a model of a dutiful husband, particularly now, when Lan Cai’er was so close to giving birth, how could Yan Jiu not be present?

Moreover, the expressions of her adoptive father and mother also seemed off.

Ye Huangyu nodded, signaling others to leave, leaving only Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er in the room.

"Sister, where is Yan Jiu?"

Ye Lingyue asking was not bad, but this question caused all of Lan Cai’er’s pent-up grievances over the days to erupt.

She burst into tears.

"He doesn’t want me and the child anymore, he left."

"What, what on earth happened? How could Yan Jiu not want you anymore?"

Ye Lingyue was shocked, disregarding her weakness, she propped herself up and asked urgently.

Lan Cai’er then intermittently recounted the events to Ye Lingyue.

It turned out, after parting with Ye Lingyue, Feng Xun, and others in Mercenary City, Lan Cai’er and Yan Jiu went to Yan City No.9.

Yan Jiu took great care of her.

But then, about ten days ago, one night, after coaxing her to sleep, Yan Jiu suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, looking distressed.

"He told me Feng Xun was in danger, and he had to save him. I asked a few questions, but he said nothing and was about to leave. In my haste to stop him, I accidentally fell and disturbed the fetus. Yan Jiu was both angry and anxious, he stayed by my side until dawn to stabilize my condition. When I woke up, Yan Jiu looked lifeless; he told me he had to leave, that he had to return to the Demon World. He apologized to me, saying that he had someone prepare a carriage to take me back to Xia Capital, and that he might not be able to care for me and the child in my womb anymore," Lan Cai’er said, breaking down into tears.

Lan Cai’er clearly didn’t want this, but Yan Jiu offered no further explanation, only having people forcibly return her.

It wasn’t until Lan Cai’er returned to Xia Capital that she learned of Feng Xun’s death. The night Feng Xun died was precisely the night of Yan Jiu’s unsettling reaction.
