Lin Yan looked at Zheng Yi Ran with excitement, her face breaking into a surprised smile.
She seemed to want to sit up, but the machines beside her prevented her movement.
Zheng Yi Ran immediately stepped forward nervously, but was blocked by the glass in front of her.
Lin Yan saw her movement and gestured towards the hospital room door.
Zheng Yi Ran walked to the door of the room, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed it open.
"You're here!" Lin Yan said with a relieved smile.
"Mm, I came to see you." Zheng Yi Ran walked to the bedside.
"I'm fine, thank you!" Lin Yan looked intently at Zheng Yi Ran. "You saved me."
"I, I didn't do much," Zheng Yi Ran felt somewhat at a loss under Lin Yan's gaze.
"No, you did a lot," Lin Yan sighed softly. "Did Mom and Dad look for you?"
"They did. They said I was their other daughter."
"Sit for a while. You just had surgery today too," Lin Yan gestured to the chair beside her.
Zheng Yi Ran sat down as requested. Both she and Lin Yan were wearing the same hospital gowns, which further emphasized their resemblance.
"We really do look alike. If we had grown up together, we might have looked even more alike," Lin Yan sighed.
Zheng Yi Ran no longer doubted her identity. The moment she saw the person in front of her, she knew this was her sister, and they shared a blood connection.
She liked this girl from the first glance. The thought that her bone marrow had saved this person filled her with joy.
"Perhaps," Zheng Yi Ran also sighed.
"But it's not too late. We've been looking for you for over ten years, and now we've finally found you," Lin Yan looked at Zheng Yi Ran before her.
"We have many more decades ahead of us. I want to say, welcome home, my Qian Qian!"
As she spoke, Lin Yan smiled brightly, but tears streamed down from the corners of her bright, twinkling eyes.
Lin Yan felt the emotions left by the original host: the excitement and joy, the relief of finally getting her wish.
In her previous life, she had never reunited with her biological sister before she died.
But now they were finally reunited, before anything had happened!
Zheng Yi Ran walked to the bedside and gently wiped the tears from Lin Yan's face.
She was completely immersed in the emotion of their long-awaited reunion. Although she had no memories, she knew this family loved her.
Unlike the somewhat distant affection from her adoptive parents, Zheng Yi Ran could clearly feel their sincerity.
There was no longer any doubt: this was her family, the family that had never given up looking for her!
That night, the sisters, who had just undergone surgery, shared stories about their lives.
Only when the nurse urged them to rest did they reluctantly part.
After Zheng Yi Ran left, Lin Yan remained motionless for a long time.
"Host, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"System, do you think the female lead really didn't suspect her relationship with the original host?"
Lin Yan stared at the ceiling, asking the system in her mind.
"I... I'm not sure," the system couldn't be certain.
"Although Zheng Yi Ran can be a bit of a love-struck fool, she wouldn't really abort her child for a stranger," Lin Yan's tone was firm.
"Even with the male lead's coercion, by then she understood that the male lead wasn't truly sincere towards her, while the child in her womb was of her bloodline."
"Could she really have aborted the child at the male lead's request to donate a kidney to the original host?"
"It was probably because she was like the original host. She sensed the similarity between them and understood in her heart that they might be sisters. That's why she couldn't bear to see her own kin die like that!"
Lin Yan's resentment towards the male lead grew stronger. This tragedy of the two sisters was all caused by the male lead.
If the male lead hadn't done those things to the female lead, but instead helped her return to the Lin family, then the tragedy of the original host and the female lead would not have happened.
They were supposed to be the closest of people! Identical twins, their genes completely alike, yet they ended up with such a fate.
Lin Yan made up her mind: she would help the female lead escape the male lead's vortex. Her sister deserved to live a freer, more uninhibited life!
The next day, as soon as visiting hours began, Father and Mother Lin arrived at the hospital. After seeing Lin Yan, Mother Lin took one of the lunchboxes to Zheng Yi Ran's room.
Lin Yan looked at Father Lin beside her. "Qian Qian came to see me last night."
Lin Yan's voice was somewhat distant, but filled with joy.
"She's a very kind girl. She was raised very well," Father Lin also praised.
He had someone investigate all information about Zheng Yi Ran after they returned last night.
Although they only had her name now, they could still start with Lu Yi.
Lu Yi must have approached her and persuaded her to donate bone marrow during that time.
"Yes, Dad. I'm so regretful that I couldn't find her sooner. It's really unfair to her to acknowledge her under these circumstances,"
Lin Yan's eyes held some worry, along with resentment towards the male lead.
"Yan Yan, this wasn't what we intended either. Now that Qian Qian has been found, we should compensate her well. Don't get jealous then!"
Father Lin teased lightheartedly. He knew Lin Yan wouldn't mind, but he didn't want her to carry that burden.
Qian Qian's disappearance had nothing to do with Yan Yan, but over the years, Yan Yan had always considered finding Qian Qian her responsibility.
"I won't. I'll be good to Qian Qian too," Lin Yan smiled.
But the next moment, Lin Yan's smile vanished.
"Dad, what about Lu Yi? He's clearly met Qian Qian before, so why didn't he tell us? And I asked Qian Qian, and she has no intention of hiding her information."
"We discovered that yesterday as well, but Qian Qian's attitude towards him was different, so we didn't ask further," Father Lin's expression also became serious.
"Once Qian Qian agrees to a paternity test, we'll talk to her slowly,"
Father Lin said. It was unavoidable; they hadn't raised this daughter, so they had to be cautious when dealing with her.
"Lu Yi had better not have done anything excessive to Qian Qian, otherwise I won't forgive him," Lin Yan said indignantly!
Father Lin listened to Lin Yan's words. Although he didn't explicitly state anything, his face showed complete agreement.
While the father and daughter were discussing how to expose Lu Yi's true nature to Zheng Yi Ran, Mother Lin and Zheng Yi Ran were having a harmonious time elsewhere.
Mother Lin placed the breakfast she had brought on the small table in the room.
It was a private room, and Zheng Yi Ran was the only one staying there.
"Come and eat. I don't know what you like, so I brought a little of everything. Pick what you prefer,"
After a night, Mother Lin had composed herself and could face the daughter she hadn't seen for over ten years normally.
