104: The answer to her question

The answer to her question

Jiang Yue folded the paper and put it in her uniform skirt's pocket. 

She was just about to stand up when a hand suddenly grabbed her arm, causing her to halt in her place. 

She turned towards the man who was still blankly staring towards the wall, if it weren't for the hand that was still grabbing her arm, she would have thought it was all her imagination. 

"Father..." Jiang Yue softly called out and touched her father's hand. 

Seeing that he's still once again not reacting, Jiang Yue lowered her head, she thought that it probably was just a moment of unconscious action from him. 

Just like how he held Jiang Xiu when they visited him during their birthday. 

He should be able to communicate his thoughts in some bodily actions based on their latest examination of him, however he's suddenly going back to his condition before where he barely reacts which really leaves her confuse. 

Was all the data about him recovering false all this time and the machine hasn't helped him at all? 

She stared at the hand on her arm and her brows furrowed when she noticed something. 

Her father's hold on her arm was tight and his fingers were tapping something on her skin. 

Jiang Yue focused on the taps on her skin, and the more she does so, the more her heart became heavier. 

Her father was trying to communicate something to her.

She didn't waste anymore time and asked, "Father, is Wei my brother?"

Just as she was gonna say that her father can tap twice if it so and tap once if the answer to his question was no, she noticed that not only was he tapping but also dragging his fingers on his skin. 

Morse Code. 

Jiang Yue was taken aback when that thought dawned on her. 

So he's still responding but in a different way!

If he can even communicate in a manner like Morse code, then why is his condition going back and forth? 

The level of consciousness isn't something that could just go from level 3 then go back to level 1 in just a matter of days or even weeks. It should have a reason for it to happen but with their father being supervised every hour, nothing should have happened to him or she would be notified. 

Knowing that it isn't something that can be answered in a short time, Jiang Yue focused on what her father is trying to communicate and focused on his hands. 

And just like what she had thought, Jiang Guo did answer her question with a few taps and drags on her skin. 

Her arm that she was holding up so she could see his hand, lowered as her heart skipped a beat. 

She finally received the answer to her question. 

She and Wei are related.

Ying Wei had been her biological brother all this time.

"But why? Why did you hide all of this?" she asked in a quavering voice and her father once again answered. 

Feeling his touch, she asked in confusion, "Safe? What do you mean father?" 

Just as she finished her words, the man's expressionless face suddenly became distorted as his grab on her arm tightened more, to the point that blood could barely flow through her veins, making her arm more pale than usual. 

Jiang Yue stood up immediately and helped her father as the man had his hands on his head already, and she coudn't help but mutter to herself, "Did I ask too much?" 

"Lie down first Father, I'll get the Doctor," she anxiously stated and helped the man to lay in the bed, however he became anxious as his head keep on shaking from side to side, as though he was feeling an immense pain in his head. 

"Doctor Zhang!" Jiang Yue went out and called the Doctor who were already waiting outside. 

"What happened?" 

"He suddenly started to behave unusual, something must have gone wrong," She responded with her voice tinged with anxiousness.

The Doctor held the man as he checked the man's vital sign, and his brows met when he realized that the heart rate and blood pressure was constantly increasing. 

Jiang Yue who has knowledge with medicine as well, knew what was her father is experiencing, however, she doesn't know that cause of it. 

The doctor injected pain killer on Jiang Guo and he only stopped once he was injected with four doses, making Jiang Yue more anxious. 

"What is happening? You told me that he's doing fine and recovering. Was this what happened when he wrote those words on the paper?" Jiang Yue asked with furrowed brows and Doctor Zhang nodded. 

"But it wasn't this worse just awhile ago, something might have triggered him for this to happen." 

"I know," Jiang Yue said with gritted teeth, "That's why I'm asking you what it is that is triggering him. His brain injury had long healed and even after he woke up from the coma this never happened." 

The Doctor became silent with her statement. 

Jiang Yue turned towards her father who had already fallen asleep on his bed with his leg hanging on the bed. 

She felt her heart ache looking at his state, she went to the bed and helped him to a better position and tucked the blanket properly. 

She had never seen him react like that before—

Probably because she had never asked him any questions before also about her and Wei. 

Then does that mean that what triggered him to react like that was because she brought that matter up? 

Was his condition similar with Jiang Xiu who has psychological trauma about what happened? 

But if it was indeed trauma, it shouldn't have affected him like that as traumas only damages or inures a person's mind, spirit or soul. 

It shouldn't have any physical effects on him as though his head was ringing with pain. 

She turned to the doctor and stated, "Have him to undergo some tests to see if there were any more side effects from the brain injury, and examine his condition again. Call me when the results are out don't hide any information, even if it's just a measly one." 

She's afraid that she had missed something for her father to react like that. 

But she had done the tests meticulously on him before to make sure that the machine had no side effects on him, and so she doesn't know what had gone wrong. 

The Doctor nodded and left. 

And Jiang Yue once again sat on the side of the bed, still staring at the man ho was already peacefully sleeping. 

Her mind once again remembered what her father's answer to her last question before he reacted like that. 

He had hid this matter her because of 'safe'? 

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes, as a thought suddenly struck her. 

Did he meant 'safety'? 

But whose? 

Was it Brother Wei's? 

If it was Brother Wei's then why did he have to pretend that she's his daughter? 

Does that mean that he had done all of this because it was for her safety?  2

But how? 

She had just been born at that time and someone is already threatening her safety?

She had never doubted that she wasn't Jiang Guo's daughter and wasn't Jiang Xiu's twin because they had pictures when they were just even a month old. 

Jiang Yue couldn't help but ruffle her hair from stress as her mind was filled with all the questions that keeps on bothering her. 

Although she finally got the answer to her question, more questions followed up even more as everything doesn't make sense. 

She can't have any answers from Jiang Guo and she can't have any either from her Brother Wei— Jiang Yue stood up abruptly when she remembered something. 

Her eyes glinted and her heart that was heavy felt hope that it might not be a dead end for her. 

Wei or Ying Wei knew that she was his sister and he probably is the one who proposed to Jiang Guo to have her as his daughter or else her father wouldn't have let her meet him all this time. 

Ying Wei is a genius. 

If all of this is happening for a reason then he might have left something for her. 

But everything was destroyed at the time when he was killed. 

Her hope that she could maybe find her answer through her brother was extinguished just as it was ignited. 

From all the computers to his inventions, none were spared. 

It was still a dead end for her. 

She can't do anything for now. 

Knowing that she was Ying Wei's sister yet she can't even give justice to his death, she can't help but question and loathe herself. 

She's useless, she can't do anything. 

She worked hard for everything that she has now to have power in her hands yet she can't even use it because she doesn't even know where to start. 

She knew what her Brother Wei had gone through and what kind of things he had to endure— Jiang Yue's mind once again processed another information. 

Ying Wei was tortured several times and in several ways one could ever imagine. 

If the goal of the killers was simply to kill him, there was no need to let him go through the pain, and if their goal was to make him suffer, they could have just kidnapped him and do unthinkable things to him, however they didn't. 

They tortured him on his own house, and she could deduce that it was probably because they needed something from him.

And that something would be information. 

But information about what?
