Because I simply love you-Chapter 400: The line of humanity

Chapter 400: The line of humanity

A few hours later, Nana woke up again after taking some more rest. She was thirsty, so she bent a bit to take a glass of water, but she wasn’t able to move with all the tubes attached to her.

She bent a bit more, but a firm hand pressed on her shoulder.

“Don’t move. I will help you.”

Nana stiffened. Jinhai poured her a glass of water, but she said, “I am not thirsty anymore. Take it away.”

Jinhai said, “Don’t punish your body by taking my anger on it.”

Nana angrily laughed. “So who else should I punish? You?”

“I don’t mind.”

“Liu Jinhai! Do you know what you have done!” Her nostrils flared in anger.

Jinhai said without much emotion. “I only gave Tang Suyin ten folds what she gave you.”

Nana looked at him, stunned. “So, you still don’t realize your mistake?”

Jinhai narrowed his eyes. “Nana. You know that I also handle the Underworld. I told you that our methods to deal with the culprits are cruel and merciless. You accepted me, knowing everything. I don’t see where I went wrong to punish her.”

“I know. But there is a line that you cannot cross even if you are from the Underworld! That is the line of humanity!”

Nana felt a headache coming. “Yes, Suyin tried to harm me twice, but I don’t see any reason for you to torture a continuous gang-rape on her. She already suffered the price of her scheming. What was the point in doing it again and again? She might not have thought about a woman’s dignity when she planned against me, but we know how important it is! What would be the difference left between her and us if we stoop to her level!”

Jinhai sneered. “So, what do you suppose I should have done?”

Nana gritted her teeth, and she wished to bang her head on the wall. “Did the thought of sending her to jail cross your mind? She had committed a serious crime, and of course, we had the evidence and her confession to prove her guilty. Even if we didn’t, you had the power and influence to do so! So why didn’t you?”

Jinhai smirked. “That is not my style. She hurt you, and no way in hell I was going to tolerate her shit. Jail? That was too less for a bitch like her!”

“Jinhai! She is already no more! Don’t speak ill of the dead.”

He shrugged.

“Fine, if not jail, then you could have scared her a little with your torture and then may be forced to send abroad and never come back or maybe send her to a mental asylum and made her live there forever. Anything was better than your men continuously raping her for four months!”

Jinhai said nothing.

“You didn’t just end with that. You forced her to get pregnant and then even ordered to kill her child. Three times! How ruthless you could get! Even if she made some mistakes, we don’t have to fall to her level.”

“You are too kind, Nana.” Jinhai smiled.

She widened her eyes.

“I am not that kind, Jinhai. I never said to set her free or that she shouldn’t face any punishment. But there was some limit that we mustn’t cross even if the other person harmed us first! At this point, I question if you are even a human!”

Jinhai tilted his head and slowly bent towards her until their faces were inches apart. Nana’s eyelids slightly trembled. She had no space to move.

Jinhai rested his left hand on the pillow and with his right hand, he slightly brushed his finger on her bandage wrapped around her head. “For you, my little wife, I can cross every boundary even if it strips me of my humanity.”

Nana stared at him to which Jinhai didn’t avert his gaze from her. There was a long stretch of silence after that.

“I don’t want to live with a monster husband.”

Jinhai chuckled. “Too bad you are stuck with me, darling. Aren’t we married?”

Silence.

Nana slowly said, “Do you understand that if you hadn’t made Suyin go through that hell, then perhaps Tang Ning and Tang Feng wouldn’t have gone so crazy in trying to kill me.”

Jinhai narrowed his eyes.

Nana sadly laughed with tears in her eyes. “Do you know what they said? They thought that I must have told you to torture Suyin like that because I wanted revenge.”

He said nothing.

“Do you know why I am angry with you? At least, do you understand my reason?”

“Isn’t it because I refused to give Suyin your type of ‘kind treatment’?”

Nana felt a little sad about his sarcasm. If she could, then she wouldn’t have talked to him at all, but she knew that this conversation was necessary.

“Do you know how heartbreaking it is for parents to see what their child suffered. They saw the video of your base, and it was no wonder that they would flip out. That’s why…that’s why they wanted to kill Jian and Nian too…. Because they wanted me to taste the same pain of losing my children just like they did.”

Jinhai slightly stiffened.

A tear escaped from the corner of her eye. “Liu Jinhai. It was your decision to cross all your limits for Suyin. It wouldn’t have mattered to me if they had killed me to feel satisfied. But…”

Nana slowly raised her hand and tightly clutched his collar. Her gaze was filled with anger and resentment, and at the same time, an unknown fear about her twins dimmed the light in her eyes. “But if they had been successful in even harming a single strand of my children’s hair, then I would have never forgiven you for the rest of my life. Even the very sight of you would have disgusted me.”

Her voice was cold, stern, and frigid, and for the first time, she looked grave and emotionless like how Jinhai was to everybody.
