"No!", Suyin kneeled down and grabbed his leg, "Please do not say this to anybody. I beg you.", she panicked.
Jianyu looked at her incredulously.
"I did a horrible thing and I'm apologizing for it. But please. Don't tell this to anyone. I will go to jail.", she cried non-stop.
"You should have thought that way before even coming up with this plan."
"Jianyu no. Please, please. Do this one favor. Just this one. I won't ask anything else. I won't co in between your relationship anymore. At least think about the friendship we had all these years, the relationship we had. Please give one chance and let go. Please keep this a secret."
He stared at her.
"Answer one question. The dia incidentThat was also planned by you, right? Did you purposely leak her past? Don't you even dare lie to ."
She avoided eye contact.
"Yes or no?", he asked his eyes and voice freezing cold.
"..Y-yes.", she got terrified the way he spoke.
He sadly smiled. "Thank you. Thank you for opening my eyes to the harsh reality. It hurts, but I know now what kind of a fool I was and...", he snickered, "you want to forgive you? How many tis?"
Suyin was in a pathetic state. Her snot mixed with her tears making her look even more awful and unsightly. "Jianyu, please! I have already suffered. I was raped by those n. I have already lost my virginity to those disgusting gangsters. I don't know if I will ever get a man who will accept after what happened to . Isn't this enough? If you tell everybody, then I will go to jail. My na will be sared, my business will go bankrupt, everyone will hate the Tang family."
She cried harder, "I don't want to go to jail Jianyu. Please"
Jianyu mocked, "Tell . Had Nana plotted against you, would you have let her go? Would you have let forgive her?"
She stopped. Of course not. She would have ruined her life.
"That", she bit her lips.
"No, right?"
"Jianyu"
He bent down and lifted her chin. "Alright. I will do this one last favor, in exchange for whatever friendship we had. After this, there is nothing between us. But," he looked at her with utter hate in his eyes, "don't ever show your face to again. If I see you anywhere near Nana and from now on, I swear I will personally end you with my own hands. Do you clearly understand?"
She nodded weakly with tears and snot continuously streaming down.
He got up but before he left he said, "You know what, Suyin? You deserve what happened to you. I don't feel even an ounce of sympathy for you. You wanted Nana to get filthy. But instead, you were pinned under those n and got dirtied. This is called Karma. You fell in your own trap. You deserved to be raped.", he banged the door and left.
Suyin kept kneeling at the sa place crying over her destiny.

In Nana's ward, the twins were with her taking care of her.
"Here, have so soup.", Yukito brought a fresh bowl of soup.
"I will help you in getting up.", Yukira said.
They slowly helped her sit upright and started feeding her.
She shook her head, "I can eat on my own."
"No. We will feed you. You need to have complete rest."
"Yeah. Don't argue on this.", they both adorably puffed up their cheeks.
She raised her hands in defeat.
Yukira asked, "Sis, can I ask you sothing? One question has been bugging us for a while. But, we don't want to stress you."
"En. Go on. I'm fine."
He glanced at Yukito and he nodded. "How were you the only one trapped in that shed? I an both Miss Tang and Mrs. Liu were outside in the car when brother Chen Jianyu reached there. How were you left behind?"
"Yes, didn't you escape with them?", Yukito asked.
She stopped. After pausing for a while she said, "I-"
"Nana!", sobody interrupted.
They turned to see Huian in her ward.
"Ah, Mrs. LiuHow are you? We heard you also got so minor injuries.", the twins asked.
She smiled, "You are such sweet boys. Thank you for asking. I'm fine now.", she looked at Nana and said, "So, NanaHow are you feeling now?"
She said in a neutral tone, "Much better."
"That's good"
Huian imdiately ca to et Nana when she got the news that she has woken up. Then outside, she heard the twins asking that sa dreaded question and she interrupted, in fear that Nana will spill out everything.
She stood there thinking of how to talk to her alone.
Nana said to the twins, "Yukito. Yukira. Can you please bring sothing to eat? The soup is almost done."
They sensed so tension and they really didn't want to leave but they nodded.
They left and Huian quickly sat on the chair near her bed.
"Nana, I-"
"Mrs. Liu Huian", she cut her off, "I already know why you are here. Rest assured, I will not tell anybody the thing that you are worried about."
Huian was astonished.
She smiled, "I am not interested in anyone singing my praises of how brave I was nor I want to gain anyone's sympathy for how I was abandoned. I only did what my heart told to do."
Huian kept silent.
"So, don't worry. I won't stir any trouble to cause any strain between you and your family."
She bit her lips, "I-I am sorry-"
"Please don't do that either. Your concern and your sorry, both are stemming from your own fear and selfishness to stop from talking. I know you really don't an any of it."
Every word of hers was a direct, brutal hit to Huian.
"You had said that you will treat as your sister when you ca to Natsukashi that day. But now I know, that it would never be possible."
"What would not be possible?", a voice ca from behind.
