Chapter 97: The number of truths to hide keeps on piling
Jinhai felt like his whole world darkened into pitch black, into complete nothingness when he heard the doctor say that Nana could have died.
The mere thought of Nana not being a part of his life anymore made him shudder.
The doctor brought him out of his stupor, “We will need her family members to do some of her formalities. There are some papers. Are there her parents or relatives here?”
Yukito and Yukira said, “We will do that. We are her brothers.”
“Um, how old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
He shook his head, “Sorry. You both are still underage. We will need an adult to sign on her papers.”
Jinhai said, “I will do it.”
The twins looked at him in surprise. Why will he? they both thought but now was not the time to dwell on it.
Liu Hai said nothing.
“Okay.”, the doctor nodded and he left.
Liu Hai said, “Son. We should go and meet Huian. The twins are here. I also want to talk to your mother.”, he looked at the twins, “If you have any problem, you immediately come to me, okay?”
“Yes, and thank you so much for your help.”, they bowed.
He smiled and patted them.
Jinhai hesitated to leave but he had to.

Huian was in another room getting treated for her minor injuries. Liu Chunhua and Grandma Liu were there with her when Jinhai and Liu Hai came.
“Huian. How are you now?”, Father Liu asked.
“Dad. Jinhai. I’m fine now. And Jinhai…where were you?”
“We were with Nana. She is also admitted, just above this floor.”
Mother Liu asked hesitatingly, “Oh dear. Was she too…”
Jinhai suddenly loudly said, “No!”
Everybody was startled.
Liu Hai said, “No. What I meant was that we found her unconscious in the shed. She had hit her head. The doctor said that her condition was very serious. There were glass shards that penetrated her wound and she could have…died. We brought her in time.”
Huian freaked out. It was that serious? She unconsciously started fidgeting and sweating.
“How is she now?”
“She is out of danger.”
Mother Liu sighed in relief. “Thank God.”
“Once I know who is responsible for her condition, they would wish they were never born.”, Liu Hai said coldly. Jinhai didn’t say anything but his eyes showed the same resolve.
Huian shivered in fear. She couldn’t look them in their eyes.
Just then the Chen’s came and they heard the entire conversation.
Jianyu froze. Nana was…going to die? And I left her like that?
Chen Liling glared at Jianyu. Chen Guiren was also disappointed with him.
She didn’t say anything and left for the fifth floor to visit Nana. Chen Guiren followed her.
“You can decide if you want to come and see your girlfriend or not.”, she didn’t forget to taunt Jianyu before leaving.
He clenched his hands into a fist.

After talking for a while, they all left and only Grandma Liu was left with Huian. The Xiang’s went out to bring her some food to eat.
“Grandma. I’m really scared.”, Huian confessed.
“About what? Don’t worry dear. It’s over. The men won’t come back. Your husband won’t let go of them.”, She patted her hands.
“Not that…”
“Then?”, She frowned.
Huian was fidgeting with her fingers. She was panicking. She really got freaked out when she heard about Nana’s condition.
“Tell me.”
Huian started crying and recounted all that happened. Grandma Liu was astounded. That girl…actually, came back to save them?
“What should I do now? If everyone got to know how she got hurt because of me, then this time nobody would forgive me. You saw how even Dad was angry too.”, she broke in tears.
“You should have seen them. Jinhai looked so different. I had never seen him like that before. It felt like all that was in front of him was only Nana. For the first time, I saw him terrified.”
Grandma Liu was stumped for any words. The matter was already blown out when she had hit Nana in Jinhai’s office. This time nobody would forgive her.
“This…”
“Oh no. What if Nana tells them? What if she spills out everything? Everyone will hate me!”
“D-don’t worry. We will figure something out. You rest for now.” Even she had no idea what to do next.
Huian couldn’t relax when another question made her restless. “Grandma. Do you think that Jinhai is…falling for Nana?”
“What!? That is nonsense. He loves you so much. Hai already told why they left you in another car. There is no other meaning to it, okay?”
She said nothing. She didn’t feel convinced.
Grandma Liu was tired too. First the letters, and now this. Just how many things do they need to hide?

Five hours passed by and Suyin slowly woke up.
The nurse saw her moving and called out, “Doctor! Miss Tang is waking up.”
Outside, Tang Feng and Tang Ning stood up frantically. The doctor went inside and checked her vitals. After a few minutes, he came out and said, “Miss Tang Suyin is conscious now. She is very weak though. You can meet her now but please don’t stay for a long time. She needs rest.”
They hurriedly nodded and went inside.
Suyin weakly opened her eyes to see who came. Her eyes welled.
“Mom…Dad…”
They both saw her condition and were shocked. Her face was swollen. They could see bite marks that had turned purple.
Tang Ning wanted to faint.
