Chapter 1211 "Casting the Bait (2)"

"Mother, why did you let her go?" Bai Xiachen asks after tugging at his mother's sleeve.

Rubbing the boy's head as a sign of rea.s.surance, Bai Yan dons the familiar shallow smile of a scheming fox: "We're using her as bait to lure out the big fish."

Enlightened on his face, the little steambun blooms a lovely smile in return: "I understand then, Mother is so thoughtful. Cast the bait to catch the big fis.h.!.+"

The exchange between this mother and son has left Dragonyw ho had also come down from the room all confused. Blinking her big eyes, "Mother, how come I can't understand what you and Gege are saying? Are we going fis.h.i.+ng? There's no need to go through that trouble, I can have those fish swim over to us instead."

Thickening in her smile over that adorable comment, Bai Yan leans down to lift the little missy up: "Don't worry, you will understand in the future."

“Oh?" Still not quite getting it, Dragony nevertheless nodded her head like a good daughter that she was.

Mother and Gege is always right, I only need to listen.

Meanwhile on the other side, Bai Ning has fallen into a contemplative state.

“Yan'er, your intentions…” She asks after thinking it through.

“Mother, there are some things you will only understand once your memories are restored so I won't give you too much details."

“Restoring my memory?” Quivering slightly in her posture, Bai Ning's eyes were full of excitement at that possibility: "I can really restore my memories? I can… remember my loved ones again?"

Bai Yan nodded affirmatively: “I will find a way to restore your memories."

Restoring a person's memory wasn't a difficult thing for her, she's only lacking the ingredients at the moment. Once she gets her hands on the necessary herbs and items, the task would be a piece of cake.

Flushed red in the face over the wonderful future, Bai Ning had to take a good minute to calm herself as she spoke: "Before Ning Yu told me I lost my memories because I was both traumatized from being abandoned by my family and then severely injured, but I always felt like I wasn't and that they are waiting for me somewhere. I… I know they must be looking for me still, my heart has always told me that."

During her entire speech, Bai Ning's gaze never once left Bai Yan's face like she's antic.i.p.ating some sort of answer. However, the expected verbal replies never came, rather it's a physical reply in the form of a hug.

“Don’t worry, your loved ones never abandoned you, they all love you very much!"

Grandfather (Bai Chang Feng) never stopped thinking about Mother after she disappeared, and Uncle (Bai Zhanpeng) always searched for her everywhere as well despite his own illness, both of them dearly wishes to reunite with her. And then there's Father, he nearly lost his sanity because he yearned to be with Mother after they separated. No matter, Mother will know all this soon enough.

Casting her eyes downward, Bai Ning's lips eventually drew a faint smile over those comforting words: "I also believe they would never abandon me. The reason I kept pus.h.i.+ng myself to grow stronger is because of that reason, it's to meet them one day. Yan'er, do you know I've always had the same dream over and over again through all these years?"

“In that dream, I was running around carrying a blood-soaked baby, and I remember the child’s appearance. She was so cute, just like a doll, smooth and pearly white, totally different from those crumpled up faces of other babies."
