Hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Song Lijun was slightly taken aback. In her haste, she hadn't paid attention to such details.
However, Wei Yumeng was perceptive and had grasped the crux of the matter.
Song Lijun smiled awkwardly. She wasn't ready to reveal her true identity to Wei Yumeng yet.
"Yumeng, you're overthinking. I was just anxious at the time and called randomly. I didn't expect it to work out perfectly."
Wei Yumeng found Song Lijun's explanation rather far-fetched. But considering that Song Lijun hadn't mentioned needing a blood donation when she called, it was indeed strange.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Wei Yumeng looked at her hands, feeling a sense of disorientation. No matter how she thought about it, something felt off.
Zhan Mohan sighed, "Alright, you should rest now and stop overthinking."
"But..." Wei Yumeng still felt something was very wrong.
Song Lijun stopped talking and fell into thought. She was genuinely worried that Wei Yumeng might press further.
Under Zhan Mohan's comforting words, Wei Yumeng finally drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Once Wei Yumeng's breathing became steady, Song Lijun spoke again.
"Mr. Zhan, I heard you encountered some trouble abroad. Is Yumeng alright?"
Zhan Mohan nodded, "She's fine. You can rest assured."
After that, an awkward silence fell between them in the hospital room.
Song Lijun, in her heart, admired Zhan Mohan greatly. She wished she could accept him as her son-in-law. But for Wei Yumeng's sake, she could only keep this secret.
But could this secret still be kept? Song Lijun didn't know.
Wei Yumeng was intelligent. The question she asked indicated she had already sensed something. She just wasn't certain yet.
Whether to reveal the truth to Wei Yumeng at this very moment was a real dilemma.
Song Lijun sighed and asked Zhan Mohan, "Mr. Zhan, do you think I should tell her everything?"
Zhan Mohan looked up slightly, "Even if you don't tell her, she will figure it out soon enough."
Song Lijun nodded, "Yes."
Since things had reached this point, perhaps there was no longer a need to hide it. Song Lijun decided to let Wei Yumeng know her true identity.
Wei Yumeng had a dream. She dreamt again of her blood connecting with Feng Zhenhua.
But the sensation was not painful at all. It felt as if she had always belonged there, warm and secure.
This feeling made her incredibly reluctant to leave.
She suddenly opened her eyes and realized Zhan Mohan was no longer in the room. However, she felt her strength had mostly returned, and she got out of bed.
Song Lijun was not beside her, likely having gone for a check-up.
As Wei Yumeng reached the doorway, she overheard doctors chatting outside.
"I really don't know if that Mr. Feng was lucky or if there's some other reason behind it."
"Who could say? Type O blood is already rare. You might not encounter one in a year. Yet here we have two, who know each other. It always makes one think their relationship isn't simple."
"Didn't Dr. Li say earlier? He also believes Miss Catherine and Mr. Feng aren't related by blood. Because logically, Mr. Feng's blood type combined with Mrs. Feng's blood type couldn't possibly produce Miss Catherine's blood type."
"So now the hospital is buzzing that Madam Zhan is Mr. Feng's daughter."
Hearing the last sentence, Wei Yumeng froze completely.
Yes, she had sensed something when she donated blood, but she hadn't dared to think in that direction. After all, with so many people in the world, it could truly be a coincidence.
Moreover, just having the same blood type didn't prove anything.
But she recalled her conversation with Song Lijun at the time, and Song Lijun's awkward expression. Didn't these things point to many issues?
Wei Yumeng didn't know what to do. If all her suspicions were true, how should she carry herself now? Should she return to Feng Zhenhua and Song Lijun's side?
But she couldn't possibly abandon the parents who had raised her.
Suddenly, the ward door opened, startling Wei Yumeng.
Outside the door were Song Lijun, Zhan Mohan, and Catherine.
Catherine looked at Wei Yumeng and secretly clenched her fist. She had miscalculated. If Wei Yumeng now knew her true identity, wouldn't her entire plan backfire?
"Mrs. Feng..." Wei Yumeng uttered the title, feeling a pang of awkwardness and helplessness.
Zhan Mohan frowned. He guessed that Wei Yumeng had likely realized everything.
Song Lijun sighed and said to Catherine, who was supporting her, "You go out first. I have something to say to them."
"Mom, you just had a check-up, you need rest. Can't we talk about this later?" Catherine asked with an angry tone.
Song Lijun shook her head, "Some things can't wait any longer. Since fate has dictated it, it's time to reveal everything."
Catherine tried to stop her again, but Song Lijun's mind was made up.
Reluctantly, Catherine finally left the ward. Her attempt to stop Song Lijun was to prevent her from revealing the truth. If Wei Yumeng's identity was confirmed, what would that make her in the future?
Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan first helped Song Lijun onto the bed. Then, Song Lijun took Wei Yumeng's hand.
"Yumeng, there are some things I truly cannot hide from you any longer. And I think you've already guessed. You are actually my and your Uncle Feng's daughter."
Although Wei Yumeng had prepared herself mentally, she was still struck with shock when Song Lijun admitted it. Her other hand instinctively reached out to grasp Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan naturally wrapped his large hand around Wei Yumeng's, offering her strength in this way.
"This was actually an accident. You and Catherine were born on the same day, at the same hospital. Who knew a nurse's carelessness would cause you two to be switched, leading to this situation."
Wei Yumeng still found it hard to believe. Just because a nurse made a mistake, their lives were so easily swapped?
Now, she seemed to understand why Catherine had been trying to harm her. Perhaps Catherine had known about this for a long time.
Even Wei Yumeng looked up at Zhan Mohan, whose gaze was calm. He didn't seem surprised at all, indicating he had known this for a long time as well.
Was she the only one who didn't know her own identity?
Wei Yumeng's mind was a complete mess. She and Catherine were switched? What did her years of life mean then? How should she face her current parents? Should she start calling Song Lijun "Mom"?
