Chapter 850: She Just Couldn’t Accept the Fact That Her Daughter Hasn’t Come Back Yet

Ye Tianxin said, “Dad, I’m not being resentful. I’m just sad. Well, I guess you could say that I’m blaming myself. Ever since I was young, everyone, including Grandmother, told me that Mum passed away. I accepted that fact. I thought Grandmother accepted the fact too, just like how I did. I didn’t know that she still missed Mum and couldn’t let go of her. Dad, I can’t even imagine how miserable must Grandmother have felt over these years…”

Ye Tianxin’s words seemed to cause ripples in Xie Xuning’s heart.

There was no doubt that his mother-in-law must have felt miserable.

Nobody could help her cope with the grief she was feeling.

She had been suppressing the pain in her heart until now…

“That’s why we have to be nicer to Grandmother, Tianxin. Perhaps deep down inside the old lady’s heart, she knew that Dr. Xie was not her daughter. She just needed some psychological relief. Either that, or she just can’t accept the fact that her daughter hasn’t come back yet.”

Most people instinctively escaped from reality at the first sight of trouble.

Very few people would choose to face the difficulties head-on.

He and Qie Wang talked about the old lady’s medical conditions.

Qie Wang also suggested him to hire a psychiatrist to undergo psychotherapy for the old lady.

“I understand. Dad, you should leave now.”

After Xie Xuning got into his car, Ye Tianxin stomped her feet a few times in front of the gate and sprinted back into the house.

Uncle He served a bowl of hot camellia for Ye Tianxin.

Ye Tianxin sat at the dining table and ate the camellia in small mouthfuls while flipping through a psychology book earnestly.

Xie Yi sat beside Ye Tianxin after she woke up from her sleep and said in a low voice, “Tianxin, try not to read books when you’re eating. It’s bad for your digestion.”

“I don’t have enough time. I plan to complete the degrees for both of my majors within two years.”

Just as Qie Wang said, Ye Tianxin had been studying medicine for such a long time that it would’ve been a pity for her to give up on it now.

This was one of the things that she wished to complete since she had already started it.

She didn’t need to beg others for help with anything if she possessed both medical knowledge and skills.

“Tianxin, it’ll be very tiring for you to keep this up.”

Xie Yi just could not understand. Ye Tianxin did not need to suffer like this as she came from a wealthy family.

She was destined to live a happy and peaceful life.

Girls should be treated like princesses.

“My dearest Mum, I’m still young. I should challenge my limits when I’m young.”

Xie Yi was dazed by Ye Tianxin’s sudden “my dearest Mum”. She almost thought that she was Ye Tianxin’s biological mother.

“Are you awake, Grandmother?”

The nurse pushed Grandmother into the dining room in her wheelchair. Ye Tianxin took over and pushed Grandmother towards the dining table.

Both Grandmother and Ye Tianxin’s ate camellias for breakfast. Only Xie Yi had a western-style breakfast of milk and bread.

“Mum, did you manage to get some sleep last night?”

Grandmother nodded. “Yeah, I’ve had a good night’s sleep.”

Ye Tianxin mixed all the condiments into the camellia before placing the bowl in front of Grandmother.

Grandmother took a small mouthful of camellia. It was savory, and the aroma of the camellia was still there even when they were in a different region.

“Does it taste good?”

Grandmother nodded.

Xie Yi took a sip of the milk. It was warm and tasted slightly sweet.

“Why is my breakfast different from yours and Grandmother’s?”

Ye Tianxin replied, “It’s because you may not be used to the taste of camellia from our hometown.”

“It looks very delicious. I’d like to give it a try.”
