Because I simply love you

Chapter 401: Nana as a wife and Nana as a mother

Even Jinhai shuddered for a moment, listening to his wife speak like that.

In fact, that was not his wife speaking. This was a mother warning him of the consequences.

“Just like nobody can cross your bottom line, my children are my limit too. The Tangs lost their sanity because they saw their daughter die in such a pitiful and horrible state. Had she been alive, no matter in jail or a hospital, at least they wouldn’t have flipped out like that, but you pushed their boundaries and forced them to attack the twins and me.

I never wanted an end like that for Suyin. It was you. Forever, I would have blamed you if anything had happened to Jian and Nian. I can forgive your mistakes if you hurt me as a wife but don’t expect any mercy if you challenge me as a mother.”

Her words shook Jinhai’s heart. An indescribable fear enveloped the pit of his stomach.

Nana’s lips trembled as she spoke. “You…you don’t know. You didn’t see what happened in the restroom. We were really, really so close to losing our twins forever.” She sobbed as she burst into tears. “If they hadn’t loudly cried at that time, making them panicked, then Tang Ning would have…”

“Sssh…” Jinhai placed his finger on her lip. It felt as if his heart was stabbed with a thousand knives all at once, thinking about his helpless wife and children.

“I-I am sorry. True. It had nothing to do with you. It was all my decision. Jian and Nian…I am sorry-“

“How many times will you apologize, Jinhai?” she cut him off.

He froze and pursed his lips.

“How many times should I forgive you?” She tiredly said. “Just how many things would you hide from me? Is it until that I would have no option but to leave you?”

Jinhai fiercely shook his head, feeling panicked. “No, don’t say that please! Y-you cannot leave me…” He buried his face in her neck.

“Then why do you always push me that far? Jinhai, even if l love you or even if I am your wife, there are only so many things that I can tolerate and let go. I cannot forgive you every time, especially if it concerns our twins!”

“Nana…”

“Enough. I know you still haven’t realized your mistakes. In your heart, you still feel that you did the right thing, right? You are not guilty, right?”

Jinhai couldn’t retort.

“Leave. I don’t want to see you. I cannot take it that our children were in danger.”

Jinhai raised his head. He wanted to talk to her more, but it seemed like she didn’t want to continue it any longer. He thought it was best to leave it at that.

He wanted to tell her that no matter what, this time, she would come back with him in the Liu villa to live with him. But he decided to let it go for now.

“Please drink water. Please don’t make yourself suffer because of me.”

Nana glanced at him for a second and withdrew it just as quickly.

Jinhai brought the glass of water, but she didn’t budge. He begged. “Nana, please…you cannot do it yourself. I will help you.”

“I don’t need your help. I will ask big brother to help me. Now, leave.”

Jinhai felt agitated. He felt a pent up frustration rise in his chest that he just wished to vent it out somehow. His gaze darkened as Nana blatantly ignored him, which he couldn’t bear. He clutched the glass in his hand tighter and tighter.

*Crack*

The glass suddenly broke as it couldn’t withstand Jinhai’s menacing pressure on it, and the water spilled out.

Startled by the sudden noise, Nana looked at him and was stunned.

It was not just water, but blood from his hand dripped down, too, as the shreds of the broken glass pieces pierced his skin. But he seemed unaffected by the injury.

“Jinhai, your hand!”

But he stood motionless on the spot.

“What are you doing? Call big brother! You are bleeding.”

Jinhai said in an aggrieved voice, “If you had taken my help, then I wouldn’t have done it!”

Nana was dumbfounded. “Are you crazy? Just for this small thing, you hurt yourself?”

Jinhai sadly laughed. “What else could I do? You were not looking at me. But see. Now you are. I win.”

Nana shut her eyes in disbelief. “Jinhai, I am tired.”

“I will leave, but only after you say that you wouldn’t ignore me anymore.”

Nana angrily laughed. “So, you will not even allow me to be angry at you anymore? Even if it is your fault?”

Jinhai pursed his lips and said nothing.

A few moments later, he said, “Be angry at me. But don’t ignore me. Don’t refuse to talk to me either.”

“Jinhai. You are unreasonable.” She flared in anger.

“I don’t care. Just say that you wouldn’t ignore me and will talk to me. I cannot take your silence.”

Jinhai pressed the glass shards deeper into his wound, and more blood started to flow out.

“Jinhai, stop! Your blood!” She turned a little pale.

She tried to move, but she couldn’t. She tried to press the bell by her bedside to call any nurse to help him, but he quickly blocked her hand.

Nana glared at him, hatefully with tears shining in her eyes. “Do you think by doing this, you can make things right again?”

Jinhai lowered his head. “I-I know I cannot, but I don’t want our relationship at a standstill…once again. Talk to me even if you have to force yourself!”

His eyes were a little sore and red as tears rimmed in them too. He knew he was wrong in demanding this from her, but he couldn’t help it. He was going insane with the situation.

Things were slowly improving between them, but that wretched video changed everything! He felt like this time he would really lose her, so he wanted to tighten his grasp on her, even if he had to force her!
