Because I simply love you

Chapter 105: The right thing to do

Jinhai silently stared at Nana waiting for her answer.

"I was thirsty and the jar was empty. The twins are sleeping and I didn't want to disturb them so"

He said nothing. He didn't let her go either.

Nana's heart was thudding loudly in her chest.

No no no! He is not affecting me. He is not affecting me at all. She chanted like a mantra.

She raised her head to look at him and her sight went to his lips. She immediately was reminded of their kiss on that stormy night. His thin, cold lips on hers

She flushed and nervously looked here and there.

Jinhai raised his eyebrows.

"Umthank you. Y-you can let me go now."

"And how do you plan on going back with your hurt ankle? Bumping and falling again?"

Her mouth twitched. I did come all the way here by myself!

"I will manage- Ah!"

Jinhai suddenly bent down and carried her in his arms princess style. Nana immediately clung onto his neck for support.

"Mr. Liu Jinhai! Put me down!"

"Don't move. You will hurt your ankle."

"I'm fine. Please put me down."

He ignored her and started walking slowly.

"Are you listening to me?"

No answer.

"Please-", he stared at her very seriouslywhich was actually more threatening. She immediately shut up.

She was trying hard but her attention would always go on his hands holding her waist. Even though she had worn the patient gown, his sensation felt as if he was touching her naked there.

Oh God, let this be over quick, or I will get a heart attack being this close to him.

After a few seconds, he asked, "Do you hate me?"

She jolted back. "No...No!", she was surprised by his question. She understood what made him ask that. She spoke slowly, "I-I know what happened was very wrong, butI don't hate you. But, please. I hope youforget about it. That is the only right thing to do." she said sadly.

She quickly wanted to clear the misunderstanding and also set some things straight.

He faintly smiled.

He reached her ward where he saw the twins sleeping.

He quietly went inside and gently laid her on the bed. He couldn't seem to let go of her. He gazed into her eyes bent down towards her. She was lost into those depths that seem to pull her towards them as if to completely drown her in him. Nana didn't realize but she was still holding onto his neck. Their lips were only centimeters apart from each other. It was as if they could only see each other and nothing else.

A few moments passed by when Yukito shifted in his sleep a little. His movement jolted them back from their world.

She instantly pulled out her hand. What were we doing?

Jinhai calmly straightened up. He said quietly, "I'll keep two guards here, outside your ward. If you want anything just tell them."

"Thank you but really, no need. The twins are there.."

"Please."

She was surprised a bit hearing him say that. She slowly nodded.

"Take care. Good night."

"Good night."

He left and Nana blankly stared at the ceiling. When will this stop? I'm Chen Jianyu's girlfriend now. I have to pull myself together. She sighed and closed her eyes.

Unknown to them, Yukito slowly opened his eyes. He stared at his sleeping sister with very complex emotions.

He was already woken up when Jinhai entered. He was surprised to see that his sister was outside in this condition, and even more when Jinhai came carrying her back. He noticed a very strange atmosphere between them that stopped him from saying anything. They looked at each other like there were such feelings between them that shouldn't have been really there.

Nee-chan, Are youWhat I saw just now, is that true?

---

Apart from Yukito, one other person saw everything as well.

Jinhai wasn't in her ward with her when Huian woke up, so she came to look for him. Her intuition hinted that he may be where Nana was, which she prayed should not be true. But, it was. She saw everything and when he came out, she hid behind a pillar, digging her nails in the wall seething in anger.

---

The next day, Jianyu finally made up his mind to face Nana and apologize to her. He entered her ward to see the doctor checking on her. The twins were out buying some daily supplies for her.

He smiled at Nana and she smiled back.

"Doctor. How is Nana now?"

"Her condition is getting better and it's a very good sign. It is also because of her healthy lifestyle that she is recovering and healing faster. If this keeps up then she can be discharged in two days."

He felt relieved. "That's great. Thank you, Doctor."

He smiled. He gave her one last injection of the day and left.

Jianyu came and sat beside her.

"Nana. I'm so glad to see you alright now."

"Yes. You don't need to worry."

He hesitated.

She frowned, "Is everything alright? Do you want to say something?"

"W-well yes actually"

"Then why are you thinking so much? You can tell me."

He took a deep breath. He confessed, "I justI am sorry Nana. That night when it all happened, I-I wasn't there with you. When I reached there, I saw herSuyin like that, I just took her and left. My mind was a mess. I couldn't think about anything else. I didn't even look for you. I feel horrible. Please please forgive me."
