Bai Qingyue had to admit that her son-in-law was quite efficient. She had only told him her request several hours ago, but he was already able to arrange her visitation to Yun Qingrong. She was wheeled to the private ICU room where Yun Qingrong was occupying, and she was greeted by the three Yun brothers and Yan Mei.
It seemed to her that the Yun family had already found out that she was Yun Qingrong's donor. They weren't supposed to know, but Bai Qingyue couldn't do anything about it now.
The oldest brother had an unreadable expression on his face upon seeing her. Yun Zhaonan only nodded at her while the youngest, Yun Shao, was the one who eagerly greeted her and thanked her.
"Our family couldn't thank you enough for what you've done for our sister, Miss Bai. We owe you a great favor." He told Bai Qingyue.
The actress only smiled and nodded. She didn't tell them that she had only done it because of Su Xiaofei. If her daughter hadn't had a breakdown that night and cried helplessly, Bai Qingyue knew she wouldn't even think of donating.
Yan Mei had a conflicted expression on her face and didn't utter a word to her. When her husband questioned her about it once Lu Qingfeng and Bai Qingyue entered the room, Yan Mei couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
"I'm torn. I knew that Bai Qingyue practically saved Sister Qing's life, but I'm also struggling to accept the fact that she was the same heartless mother who abandoned Feifei. My heart ached for that child, dear. You've seen how broken and helpless she was whenever she's here with us."
"You don't have to make peace with her or accept her and I'm she doesn't expect any of that. Think of it as her trying to make it up to Xiaofei by saving Qing'er's life. What was done is already done, and we could only move forward for the better. I'm forever grateful for what she did, but the only person whom she needs to ask for forgiveness from is Xiaofei, not us." Yun Zhaonan replied and gave his wife a tight hug. The past two weeks were truly hell for their whole family.
"I guess you are right." Yan Mei sniffed. "I just don't want Feifei to live through the worst nightmare ever again. She has had enough of it."
Back to Bai Qingyue and Lu Qingfeng inside Yun Qingrong's room.
He had wheeled her next to the bed where Yun Qingrong was lying and took several steps back to give Bai Qingyue enough time and some privacy to talk to his mother-in-law. Bai Qingyue wasn't even supposed to be here, given her state. She hadn't fully recovered yet, but he could see that she was determined to see Yun Qingrong.
From where he was standing, Lu Qingfeng couldn't see Bai Qingyue's face, but he could faintly hear her voice speaking to Yun Qingrong.
"I have to thank you for taking care of Feifei all these years. Being a mother to her when I could not. You don't know how grateful I am that you were the one who found her." Bai Qingyue started as she looked at Yun Qingrong's face, a single tear rolling down her cheek.
"I gave you a part of myself, hoping that you would recover. You see, Feifei still needs you. It's too late for me to mend our relationship as mother and daughter, and I have no qualms about that. But you need to wake up, Miss Yun." She said softly and sobbed quietly. She wanted to believe that Yun Qingrong could hear her.
"I know you love Feifei more than I ever could, so you would know for sure how devastated she is right now. She still needs her mother, Miss Yun and that is you. You need to fight for your life for her sake, please."
"A good mother wouldn't leave her child to fend for herself. I chose the easy way out, and I admit I was a coward. I cannot be the mother she needed, Miss Yun, so that's why you should wake up. You know her better than me. She cannot be without you, but she can live without me in her life."
She didn't say any more, but her words were enough to leave Lu Qingfeng astonished. He could somehow understand why Bai Qingyue wouldn't want Feifei to see her in such a state and couldn't be truthful to her. Whenever he visited her, he could see the guilt and pain reflecting in her eyes as she thought about Su Xiaofei.
Perhaps this was her own way to repent and punish herself for her actions, but Lu Qingfeng believed that just like him and Feifei, everyone deserves a chance to become the better version of themselves.
While it was true that it was hard to ask someone for forgiveness, Lu Qingfeng also knew that it was harder to forgive oneself. Bai Qingyue must have regretted and suffered in silence all of these years without anyone knowing.
It was just a pity that she and Feifei shared a stubborn streak. They would rather part ways and ignore each other's existence rather than fix their relationship.
"I'm done here now, Mr. Lu. Thank you for granting my request." Bai Qingyue said as she pushed her wheelchair away from Yun Qingrong and faced him.
"It wasn't me who gave you the permission to visit Mother. It was Feifei." He said in response.
The actress clenched her jaw and nodded, her eyes shining with tears.
"I see. Then you have to extend my thanks to her."
Well, she did say that she didn't want to see her daughter during her visitation, but she didn't technically tell Lu Qingfeng to hide it from Su Xiaofei. She should have known that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't keep her request a secret from his wife. Her daughter was lucky to find such a sensible and loyal husband.
