Chapter 4172: Missing You to Death (2)
Unlike the last time, Lin Yan didn’t wear the crystal mask or stand in the palace like a queen.
She was in her own room, a room that was completely white, just like Huo Mian’s room.
When Huo Mian entered, she saw Lin Yan had a small black cat in her arms. The cat looked very adorable.
With a “meow”, the cat ran toward Huo Mian.
Subconsciously, Huo Mian retreated two steps.
“Seth, be a good boy. Come back. Don’t scare my daughter.”
When Lin Yan said the word “daughter”, Huo Mian didn’t feel any closeness to her.
“I have many questions to ask you,” Huo Mian said without preamble.
“Good, I’d like to answer your questions.” Lin Yan smiled.
Dressed in a pale pinkish purple cheongsam-style dress, she looked elegant with her hair pulled up in a simple bun.
To be honest, she looked like a woman in her thirties instead of fifties.
She looked very young with no wrinkles on her face.
The only things that betrayed her age was the look in her eyes and the way she carried herself.
“Mian, sit down. You’re with a baby and it’s tiring to stand for a long time. Your feet will get swollen. I was like that when I was pregnant with you. I felt tired after walking a few steps.”
As Lin Ya said the words, Huo Mian got even warier.
Was the woman trying to sway her with motherly love?
With her previous experience with Jing De, Huo Mian didn’t believe this woman was her biological mother.
Even though Messiah had given her the positive answer, Huo Mian was still suspicious.
She kept telling herself not to trust anyone blindly.
Slowly, Huo Mian sat on the stainless white chair in Lin Yan’s room and placed her hands on her round belly.
“What’s your relations.h.i.+p with Leila?”
Huo Mian couldn’t suppress her curiosity and the first question was quite sharp.
Lin Ya smiled and caressed the small black cat in her arms.
“Mian, like your father, you got to the center of the issue with this question…”
Huo Mian didn’t speak.
Lin Ya said slowly, “You might be confused if I tell you about Leila first. I’ll start from the beginning… You kept saying that I was dead and in a cave in Iceland, right?”
Huo Mian still remained silent; she just looked at the woman tensely.
“Mian, the woman in the cave isn’t me.”
“Impossible. Dad carried you into the ice coffin in person; Yan has guarded the body all these years.”
Agitated, Huo Mian retorted instantly.
“Come with me. I’ll bring you to see a person.”
Lin Ya stood up and walked out; Huo Mian followed her.
They made several turns and went into a secret tunnel; at the entrance, the scanner recognized Lin Yan’s fingerprint and retina and opened the door for them.
There was only an icy coffin in there…
Lin Ya beckoned at Huo Mian.
“Mian, come here. Look at her.”
Suspiciously, Huo Mian walked over and then froze in astonishment when she saw the person in the coffin.
This was…
The person lying in the coffin was Lin Ya; with her eyes closed, her features were clearly the same as Lin Ya’s.
Lin Ya wore a white dress, looking like a sleeping beauty who had been sound asleep for many years.
“The person carried into the cave in Iceland by your father and guarded by Lu Yan is her, not me.”
“Who’s she?” Huo Mian’s voice trembled, thinking the whole thing was unbelievable.
Why were there so many people resembling each other? For example, the new Jing De and the dead Jing De; she and Leila; Lin Ya and the woman in the ice coffin.
Instantly, Huo Mian’s mind was boggled.
