Chapter 1212 - Casting the Bait (3)
“That’s why I always suspected I had a daughter prior to my memory loss, and it’s also the reason why I turned my feelings of that to Ning Yu. Perhaps she also felt my emotions and reacted, that’s why she’s finding this so unfair and did what she did.” Bai Ning sighed at the thought.
I’ve really made a mistake and shouldn’t have done what I did. Now that girl will suffer a hurt for a lifetime because of me. If only I had been a bit colder, not taken care of her so much, then perhaps her heart wouldn’t have mistaken me for a mother….
“Yan’er, all of this is my fault in the end…. If you really want to take her life, I hope you can give her a swift death and not make it painful, okay?”
Bai Yan mildly nodded towards that guilty expression: “Okay, I promise you.”
Bai Ning’s heart undoubtedly became relieved somewhat over that reassurance. “I do not know whether it’s my misconception or not, but I always felt very close to you and Xiachen. This kind of closeness is different from the type with Ning Yu who kept me company for many years. Perhaps… I mean maybe, just maybe, you might be my missing daughter.”
Bai Yan instantly went stiff over that frankness and almost blurted out the truth. “Mother, am I not your daughter now? Xiachen is also your grandson.”
No matter what, she’s intent on coming forward with the truth only after Bai Ning regains her past memories, otherwise the possibility of things turning out wrong would be a real possibility. This wasn’t just Bai Yan being overly cautious, rather it’s from what she learned from the medical books she read about patients who were suddenly confronted with facts that they themselves would find suspicious and traumatic.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Exactly then, a huge gust of wind blew in from the entrance, causing the windows and doors to flap and rattle nonstop.
Bai Yan first pricked her brows at the sudden intrusion, but her puzzlement soon turned to surprise at the sight of an elderly individual who came in, followed closely by a huge number of demons littering the streets.
“Yan’er!” Bai Ning reacted immediately and cried out, shielding her daughter with her own body from the unknown demons, “Who are you people!”
The elder acted like he didn’t hear the lady’s question and made a bow to Bai Yan and her children: “Queen, Prince, His Majesty tasked me to come find you. He’s been missing you dearly during your times of absence….”
Bang!
From out of the blue without giving any warning, a swinging punch had come flying at the unsuspecting elder and hit him dead in the stomach. Groaning from shock at being attacked, the senior’s first reaction was to stare at his assailant. In that moment, his brain literally exploded in a flash.
Who is this woman? Why is she so similar to Her Highness in appearance?
And that expression, it’s like… I’m some sort of great villain!
“This …” First Elder rigidly turns to Bai Yan in order to seek some sort of answer, “Queen, she is?”
Twitching in the corner of her mouth, the demon queen almost didn’t know how to reply: “She-She is my mother.”
Staring wide in astonishment, First Elder wanted to cry foul. Why is the queen’s mother attacking me? Did I offend her in some way? Why would she attack me as soon as I arrive?
Just when the poor puzzling elder was still pondering on his own course of action in this case, Bai Ning had already reached over to the side and smashed a leg off of a chair to use as her weapon. Aggressive and intimidating in her stance: “How dare you people still come find my daughter!”
