Because I simply love you

Hospital.

Suyin was in the operating theater where Jianyu stood in front of waiting for the news. It was already forty five minutes since her operation had started.

The Liu's, Chen's, Tang's and Xiang's all reached the hospital.

Madam Tang cried, "My Suyin! Where is she? How is my daughter?"

Jianyu was silent.

"Say something!"

"Jianyu…", Mother Chen softly called out.

Just then the OT bulb switched off and the doctor came out.

Madam Tang rushed to him, "Doctor! How is my Suyin?"

Master Tang asked in a panic, "Yes, doctor. She is alright, right?"

The doctor was hesitant. He shook his head, "She is fine for now. But unfortunately, she has sustained major injuries. She was gang-raped and we have found DNA of five different men's semen inside her vagina. Her cervix is also badly injured and she has bled a lot which says that they did her very forcefully. It will take quite a while for her to recover. I'm sorry."

Jianyu closed his eyes in defeat.

Madam Tang lost her balance and she was about to collapse but her husband held her.

"Ning!"

The Chen's, Liu's and Xiang's were equally shocked. She suffered so horribly…

"No…my daughter.", she started sobbing. "Feng, our Suyin…she is hurt."

Tang Feng also couldn't contain his grief.

Chen Liling, even though she didn't like Suyin, as a woman she could feel her pain.

"Tang Ning, Suyin is a strong girl…we are all there with her. We will get her out of this."

Liu Chunhua held her hand, "Yes, Ning. It's hard but I know she will get through this."

Xiang Qingge also sadly nodded.

In the car, Jinhai was constantly patting Nana's cheeks. He had already covered her wound with a cloth to stop it from bleeding further. He was only saying her name. He was only asking her to wake up, chanting like a prayer.

"Nana. Nana. Nana. Please try to open your eyes. Please."

He was rubbing her palms with his to give her warmth in an attempt to bring back her consciousness.

"Nana. Nana. Do you feel warm now?"

Liu Hai couldn't see his son like this. "Jinhai…"

"Dad, she is not waking up. Look, I'm trying so hard. But she is not responding."

"It may be a concussion. Don't worry. She will be fine."

"Of course she will. She has to.", he said staring at her.

Nana slightly moved her finger.

"Dad! She moved her finger. I felt it."

He slowly started patting her again, "Nana? Nana? Can you hear me? Please try to slowly open your eyes."

She furrowed her brows slightly and tried to open her eyes. She could see everything spinning and blurred. She tried to move a little but she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head.

"Ah...", She mumbled in pain.

"It's okay. We are going to the hospital now. Don't worry. They will treat you and you will be all fine again."

She could hear someone talking to her and consoling her. She liked his voice. It was soft and low filled with worry and fear, but also a resolve that soothed her down. The panic she felt when she saw the world spinning around was gone. She felt him familiar; his touch and his voice.

She tried to look at him opening her eyes a little wider. The blurry face in her mind was clearing slowly.

"Liu…Jinhai…", she spoke softly like she spent her whole energy in saying his name.

"Yes. I'm Jinhai…I'm here with you. You are in my car right now."

Am I dreaming? Didn't I fell from that slope? Then why is he…here? Her memories were hazy and disordered because of her wound.

Her wound was hurting a lot and she was exhausted, but she tried to raise her hand to touch him.

Jinhai saw her trying and immediately held her hand and brought it near his face. He rested his cheek in her palm and tightly squeezed it.

"See. I'm here. You can feel it, right?", he asked smiling softly.

She nodded very slowly.

He was relieved. Even though a little weak, she was at least conscious now.

He slowly bent and kissed her forehead. Nana felt a vaguely familiar, warm sensation touch her skin, which gave her a nice and safe feeling.

Driver Mu was dumbfounded. Again?

Liu Hai looked at him sharply and he understood. He pretended he didn't see anything.

Obviously, Liu Hai had seen everything, but he didn't interrupt Jinhai. He quietly looked at them.

They reached the hospital and Nana was immediately admitted. Jinhai stood in front of her room waiting the whole time.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw two figures rushing to him.

"Nee-chan! Where is she?", Yukito asked breathlessly.

"We got a call that she is hurt and unconscious. What happened? How is she now?", Yukira asked fearfully with tears in his eyes.

Their sister was the only one they had as their family. Even though Yu Ichika was alive and in an institution, she became a stranger to them the moment she separated them from Nana. If something happened to Nana, they don't know what would they do without her, or how will they live without her.

Liu Hai said, "She is being operated now. Don't worry. The best doctors are treating her. She will definitely be fine. Have faith in her. She is a very strong girl. Right, Jinhai?"

Jinhai kept staring intensely at her from the small round window while the doctors were busy operating her. "Yes…she is a very strong girl. A very brave girl. Nothing will happen to her."
