Chapter 194: Not suicide!
Flashback
The twins were late returning from high school. They were just outside the Liu villa when Yukito said, “Damn, I forgot my book inside the car. Tomorrow is our test, and I need it to study tonight. You wait here, I will get my book from Uncle Mu.”
Yukito went away, and Yukira was waiting for him, leaning against a tree.
He then heard loud noises coming from the villa. He turned his head and saw the balcony from below. He could only see partial silhouettes of Jinhai and Huian.
‘What is happening over there?’ Yukira frowned. ‘Damn, is it that Mrs. Liu insulting my Nee-chan again!? Can’t she take a rest!”
He stepped forward, and then suddenly, he saw Huian climbing on the balcony’s railing.
Yukira widened his eyes in shock.
“What is she doing!? Is she crazy!?”
Then after a few seconds, he saw Huian lose her footing, and she was about to fall, but Jinhai caught her hand in time.
Yukira let out a huge sigh of relief.
But that relief was short-lived when he saw what happened next.
He saw Jinhai talking something to Huian.
“Why isn’t brother Liu Jinhai pulling her back? What is so important that he is talking to her now?”
Then it all happened in a split second.
He saw Jinhai opening his fist and letting her hand go.
Yukira was horror-struck. He thought he imagined things. But it became a reality when Huian fell and crashed on the ground.
The ground started to dye in red with Huian’s blood trickling from her head.
Yukira covered his mouth in shock. He felt his knees go weak, and he fell back, completely frightened. Everyone gathered down, and five minutes later, she was taken away in the ambulance.
He somehow stood up, trembling and dashed inside.
Present.
Yukira shuddered recalling the incident. He was pacing back and forth in the room with his mind all jumbled up in a mess.
“W-what should I do now? Why did he do that? He tried to…murder Miss Huian. That is a crime. How can I keep quiet?” But then he thought of Nana. “Nee-chan…she loves brother Liu Jinhai. She will be devastated. Should I tell her or…ughhh! I don’t understand anything!”
“Yukira!” Yukito shouted, coming in a state of shock. “Do you what has happened!? Miss Huian…she tried to commit suicide by jumping off the balcony!”
Suicide? It was not suicide!
Yukira rushed to him. “Yukito, I-I need to tell you something. I saw-“
“We don’t have time, Yukira. Save it for later. We have to head to the hospital now. Nee-chan is also there.”
“No, listen to me it’s very important-“
“Later, later!” Yukito dragged him in the car, and they headed towards the hospital.

City X Hospital.
Xiang and Liu family were outside Huian’s ward. Jinhai was standing at a distance, watching them.
Jing came up to him and said quietly, “Congratulations, bro, everything went as planned.”
“Hm.”
“What do you think? How much time will it take for Huian to come out of her vegetative state?”
Jinhai curled his lips into an evil smile. “Soon.”
“Huh?”
“Yes. You will see.”
Jing shrugged.
“What will you see?” Nana asked, coming from behind.
The brothers glanced at each other. Nana looked at them questioningly.
Jing smiled. “We meant to say that we will see if the treatment is working or not.”
“Oh…actually, I have come to you regarding the same.”
Jinhai asked, “What?”
“Can we take the help of uncle Zhou Bingwen? I’m sure they will be able to help Miss Huian. If we use this as well as Chinese medicine treatment, then there is a chance that she may recover as soon as possible.”
Both of them shot her a surprised look.
“Why do you want to help her?”
Nana sighed. “I know there are differences between us, but it’s not to the point that I want her to die.”
Jinhai asked, “Didn’t she want you to kill our baby?”
“I know, but…when I calmed down, I realized that it wasn’t entirely wrong what she felt. She loves you a lot. Anybody else would have lost her composure too. Our anger was justified. I was right as a mother, and she was right as a wife. And I…”
“You?”
“I can understand her pain because I have gone through it. I had also felt sad and jealous when I used to see you so close to her.”
Jinhai faintly smiled.
‘Maybe you can move on from what happened at that time, but I cannot. I can never forgive her.’
Jinhai patted her head. “Alright. I will talk to uncle Xiang.”
“Nee-chan!” Yukito called out.
The trio saw the twins coming. “Nee-chan, how is Miss Huian now?” Yukito asked.
Nana sighed sadly and told them everything.
Yukira was shocked.
Vegetative state?
He nervously glanced at Jinhai, and Jinhai looked back at him. But Yukira quickly withdrew his gaze in fear. After what he witnessed, he was afraid to see him standing before him.
Jinhai didn’t fail to catch his reaction. He observed him carefully.
Yukira seemed edgy and uptight as compared to usual. His expression told that he was agitated about something.
Jinhai narrowed his eyes.
I see…so my brother-in-law seems to have seen something that he shouldn’t have.
