The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 589 - Chapter 589 Signs of Awakening

Chapter 589: Signs of Awakening Chapter 589: Signs of Awakening Dazzling light refracted into her eyes, making her starry eyes sparkle brightly.

Su Ran suddenly thought that it seemed like a long time since she had visited her mother in the hospital.

She had been busy with the competition before, and after returning to the country, she had been preoccupied with the company and Su Family’s affairs.

Today she finally had some free time, and there was also the matter with Fu Qiyuan that she should mention to her mother!

She tidied up the documents on her desk, grabbed her car keys, and got up to leave the office.

Driving her car, she headed straight for the hospital in the suburbs.

Su Ran easily found Yaosang Qianyue’s ward, opened the door, and Aunt Wang, the caregiver, was inside.

“Miss Su, you’re here?”

Aunt Wang was also very happy to see Su Ran.

Being from a humble background and of advanced age, she found it difficult to find work.

It had been tough securing a caregiving job; many family members of patients were reluctant to hire someone her age.

Ordinary people couldn’t afford caregivers, and wealthy folks already had maids and nannies, making their line of work even more challenging.

In the end, it was Miss Su who picked her out at first glance and offered a higher fee than what was usual.

She was also very kind, not at all like the haughty, sharp-tongued heiresses she saw on TV from wealthy families!

Su Ran gently nodded at Aunt Wang, “Hmm, Aunt Wang, has my mother been well recently?”

Aunt Wang looked at Su Ran with a kind expression. Over the many years of association, the two of them had become more informal with each other.

“She’s been quite well. You haven’t been to the hospital for some time, Miss Su, has the company been keeping you busy?”

Su Ran smiled, “Yes, it’s been quite hectic, but it’s all sorted out now. Thank you for your hard work during this period, Aunt Wang!”

Aunt Wang hurriedly shook her head and said:

“It’s not hard; this is what I should do.”

The two of them chatted idly for a while, and then Aunt Wang turned and left the room, leaving the space to the mother and daughter.

On the large hospital bed, Yaosang Qianyue lay silently, her complexion pale but still beautiful.

Her delicate and dignified face bore the elegance and nobility that come with the passage of time.

Her facial features were exquisite, and because of her slumber, she appeared gentle and amiable.

Her eyelashes were long and thick, arousing curiosity about what astonishing eyes lay beneath those lightly closed eyelids.

Su Ran stood by the bed for a while, silently watching the woman lying there.

After a long time, she sighed softly and sat down by the bed.

She held Yaosang Qianyue’s hand, her tone gentle.

“Mom, the things you left at the Su Family’s have all been retrieved by me; rest assured, they are all intact.”

“Although I don’t know the purpose behind the list of items you left for me, I think those things must have been very important to you.”

“Anything you value, I will make sure they won’t suffer any damage.”

After saying so much in one go, Su Ran paused for a moment.

Her hands tightly gripped Yaosang Qianyue’s, her starry eyes softly resting upon the person on the bed.

Yet in the depths of her eyes, a faint sadness lingered.

She had no idea how many years she had persisted in this one-sided conversation, nor did she know how much longer she would have to wait for her mother to awaken from the hospital bed and gently call her name.

She rubbed her cheek gently against the hand she held, and her gaze fell upon the ring on her finger as her eyes gently lowered.

Her gaze softened even more.

“Mom, there’s an important thing I came to tell you today,”

“I’ve gotten engaged. The man I’m engaged to is the same one I brought to see you last time, his name is Fu Qiyuan, the person in charge of Fu Consortium. He’s very handsome, and he treats me well, too.”

“Don’t worry, I’m doing very well and I’m very happy. The only thing I hope for is that you will wake up soon, so you can attend my wedding,” Xiao Ran said.

“Other than Zhichen, you’re the only relative I have left in this world. Do you really have the heart to miss my wedding?”

Su Ran’s eyes suddenly reddened. She tried hard to suppress herself, holding back the tears in her eyes.

When one is extremely sad or has found happiness, they always want to share it with the person closest to them in the world.

For Su Ran, apart from Ye Zhichen, it was only her mother, Yaosang Qianyue, who would truly be happy for her.

Her mother’s greatest concern was her, and now that she had finally found her own happiness, she naturally hoped her mother could witness it with her own eyes.

And Su Ran, who was always strong and independent, only felt helpless like an abandoned child in front of Yaosang Qianyue.

Su Ran stayed in the hospital room for almost two hours before she stood up.

She took a deep look at her mother lying in the hospital bed, sighed softly, and then turned to leave the room.

However, what Su Ran didn’t know was that the moment she closed the door, the hand hidden under the blanket suddenly moved slightly.

And on the bed-side cardiomonitor, there were noticeable changes in both breathing and heart rate.

–

After leaving the hospital, Su Ran was not in the mood to return to the company; she went straight back to Platinum Lanting.

When the car stopped at the front gate of the villa, it was not yet five o’clock.

“Miss Xiao Ran, you’re back?”

As soon as she entered, Aunt Sun came to greet her.

“Mm.”

Su Ran replied softly, her mood seeming somewhat downcast.

Even with her deliberate concealment, she couldn’t hide from Aunt Sun’s keen eyes.

Su Ran might appear aloof and distant on the surface, but she was always polite and kind to the servants, not icy as she seemed to others.

Even more considerate and gentle.

Now, from just a single syllable, Aunt Zhang could sense that something was off with her mood.

She had left in the morning cheerful and spirited.

So why did she come back looking so listless and downcast?

Aunt Sun squinted slightly; she remembered that Miss Xiao Ran was supposed to be attending her sister’s wedding to an ex-fiance today.

She had heard a bit about their situation and naturally had a strong disdain for the Su Family people.

But what exactly had they done to her?

What had they done to make a perfectly fine person turn out like this?

A coldness flashed deep within Aunt Sun’s eyes.

“I’ll go rest in my room for a while. Call me when dinner’s ready.”

When she spoke, she seemed even more listless.

“Of course, Miss Xiao Ran. Are you feeling unwell? Should we call a doctor?”

Su Ran shook her head, “No need, I’m just a bit tired. I’ll be fine after resting in my room for a bit!”

With that, Su Ran turned and went upstairs, heading straight to her room.

Aunt Sun clearly didn’t believe her, and as soon as Su Ran disappeared into the stairwell, she immediately took out her phone to call Fu Qiyuan and report the situation.

–

Fu Consortium.

Fu Qiyuan was in the middle of an overseas video conference, the atmosphere in his spacious office strict and solemn.

The overseas executives were making their reports, occasionally glancing at the man’s expression through the screen.
