257 I Believe You (1/2)

Her heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Mingyue looked at her father with her eyes wide.

Her father…

The question he asked…

Did he know something?

For a few seconds, Mingyue continued to stare at her father in a daze as she doubted whether there might be something wrong with her hearing. When she was convinced that there was nothing wrong with her hearing, Mingyue tried to figure out whether what her father meant was the same thing as what she understood.

Was her father referring to her past? Her forgotten memories?

Mingyue flinched as her father moved to pick up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea. It was then that she realized that her father was still waiting for her answer.

Her heartbeat accelerated. Mingyue leaned forward as she continued to study her father's expression. ”Dad, what if… what if I tell you that I remember everything? My past.”

General Lin sipped his tea calmly. His lips turned up into a gentle smile. ”Is that not good news? Mingyue, why are you hesitating to tell me about this? What is it? What do you remember about your past?”

Mingyue retracted her gaze. Her hand that rested on her tight subconsciously turned into a fist. ”If I tell you that I came from another time and space, will you believe me?”

”I will. I believe you.”

Mingyue looked at her father with surprise. But her father continued to watch her with a smile.

Looking at the way his daughter reacted, General Lin let out a chuckle.

After a few seconds passed, General Lin stood up and headed to the bookcase. He opened up a safety box and pulled out something. Then, he returned to the sofa with a large, brown envelop in his hand. He opened the envelope and took out the contents.

Mingyue gasped as she saw her belongings. There was a small medical pouch, her personal identification wooden tag, and some jewelry.

”Aren't these yours?” General Lin asked.

”Yes,” Mingyue nodded as she grabbed her medical pouch. Inside were her acupuncture needles and surgical blade. She had thought that she had lost her belongings when she fell into the water.

”When Xue Yi Ming brought you to us, you were carrying a small pouch by your side,” General Lin said. He picked up the wooden tag and smiled. ”While your mother and sister were cleaning you up, I went through your staff and found these. We wanted to give it back, but when we found out that you have lost your memories, your mother and I decided to hide these things away.”

”And mom knows? That I am not from here?”

General Lin nodded.
