Chapter 105 - 102: Past Years
Tian Yaruo lifted her tear-streaked face, staring at Li Si in disbelief. "What did you say? What charity foundation? The child—I did remarry, and my child does need a matching transplant. But this matter was handled by your aunt; I had no idea about it!"
Her heart jolted. What had her sister done exactly? Could it be she hadn’t told the truth?
Seeing Tian Yaruo’s reaction that didn’t seem feigned, Li Si began explaining everything that had happened over the past period in detail.
Tian Yaruo grew slightly angry and said, "How could she do this? You’re her niece too!" But thinking about it, she had poured her heart and soul into her Weiwei for so many years.
Then her tone softened as she continued, "But child, ultimately, this matter is my fault—it’s all my fault! She only did this for my sake. Because when I was forced to return home and got married, I didn’t reveal your existence! And now, with Kesong like this, she’s only worried I wouldn’t have a good life in the Yan Family."
Li Si sneered. "So, you’re saying I’ve been blaming the wrong person all along? Then, Miss Tian, what about you? What do you really think in your heart?"
Aunt? That woman deserves that title? Like mother, like daughter—Ye Duowei and her are cut from the same cloth!
Tian Yaruo froze noticeably, her face stiffening before she finally spoke after a while. "I—I’m truly conflicted! When I realized it was you, my heart was overwhelmed—filled with anguish and guilt far more than anything else! But Kesong is, after all, your brother by blood. If you’re truly able to save him, could you try to save him, please? If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you! Perhaps...this is simply his fate..."
After saying this, Tian Yaruo seemed to have aged several years in an instant. In her emotional balance, both children weighed equally in importance. But when it came to Li Si, her heart was laden with an unbearable guilt. Thus, even if Li Si chose not to undergo the transplant match, she would not insist. Yet the thought of losing her beloved Kesong from her life brought her unbearable pain...
"Your father and I were truly in love back then. Before my graduation, I suddenly discovered I was pregnant. I was completely overwhelmed and went to your father. In the end, we decided to make our relationship public, meet each other’s families, and get married. That way, we could have you openly and legitimately! But we never anticipated my family’s staunch opposition once they found out. They drove your father out of the house and locked me in a room, forbidding anyone from seeing me!"
Tian Yaruo’s face carried a wistful expression as she continued telling the story. "At the time, I was still in the early stages of pregnancy and hadn’t experienced any symptoms like morning sickness. So my family didn’t realize I was pregnant. They thought that isolating me would end things between us."
