Chapter 266: Title is a spoiler


    Nana always thought that their rtionship and love for each other was strong. But after the whole incident settled down, Nana realized that it was wrong to trust the enemy more than Jinhai. Indirectly, she didn''t have faith in Jinhai''s abilities.


    They had promised each other to always fight together, whateveres their way. But she still took everything upon herself.


    Nana said, "I should have told you about those ckmails. I should have trusted you."


    She thought that she also wouldn''t like it if Jinhai kept any such simr thing hidden from her even if it was to protect her.


    Jinhai kissed her forehead. "I should have also trusted in your love. But I misunderstood your feelings for Jianyu and ignored you when you needed me the most."


    Their rtionship had ws. They loved each other so deeply, yet at the time of a crisis, they couldn''t believe in each other.


    Nana smiled. "We both made mistakes, and have also learned from it too, thankfully before it got toote. Jinhai, I promise that I won''t hide anything from you."


    Jinhai tightly held her in his embrace. "En. I promise that I won''t ever doubt your love for me again." He bent and captured her lips in a gentle kiss. Jinhai, who was still inside her, hardened.


    "Mnnn" As his length twitched inside, Nana''s inner muscles instantly tightened around him.


    And before they knew it, they were making love once again, lost in the sweet passion throughout the night.


    ---


    Liang Xiao Dan entered her son''s room.


    "Shin."


    Liang Shin looked over from his files. "Mom."


    "Shin, did you find anything about that girl?"


    Liang Shin sighed. "Sorry, mom. But I didn''t get hold of any information until now. Paris is a big city, and we don''t know anything about her, not even her name. We don''t have her picture either."


    Liang Xiao Dan couldn''t help but sniffle as her hope died down. Liang Shin hugged her. "Mom, it''s okay. Just give me some more time."


    She nodded.


    "Xiao Dan?"


    Liang Zou also got worried as he saw her crying and distressed. He red at his son. "Shin! What did you do?"


    Liang Shin was dumbfounded. "Can''t you ever think nicely about me? Why would I make her cry?"


    Liang Zou grumbled. "Probably because you are not getting a girlfriend for yourself. You are stressing her out."


    His mouth twitched.


    Liang Xiao Dan chuckled. "Stop it, Zou. You always bully my son. He did nothing."


    Hmph!


    Liang Zou took her hands in his and asked, "Then why are you crying?"


    The mother and son silently exchanged a nce and tacitly understood. They still couldn''t find out about that girl, so there was no point in getting his hope up.


    Liang Xiao Dan pursed her lips. "Nothingjust missing our daughter."


    Liang Zou went silent. No matter how much time passed by, nobody was able to forget the baby princess. He had held her small body in his arms that night, who was the cutest and the most adorable girl.


    But that was the only time he could hold her because


    an hourter, their daughter wasn''t in the crib anymore.


    She had disappeared.


    Liang Zou and Liang Shin were lucky in that regard that they got to see the baby. The six-year-old Shin was also there with his parents that night, and he saw his baby sister when Liang Zou hade out of the ward, holding her in his arms.


    But not Liang Xiao Dan. She passed out as soon as she gave birth, and when she woke up, her baby girl was nowhere to be seen.


    She couldn''t get to see her baby even once.


    Liang Zou pressed her hands with his warmth. "Me too. I miss her too."


    The family of three stayed silent. They always would whenever her topic came up.


    Once again, Liang Xiao Dan only prayed that this time, their search wouldn''t end up in waste.


    But fate had some other ns in store, maybe to make them wait a little more before they reunite with their princess as Jinhai and Nana''s Paris trip came to an end and they already left for Beijing the very next day.


    ---


    Five monthster, City X Hospital.


    The doctor checked Xiang Huian''s vitals. It was almost six months now that Huian was in the vegetative state after she fell from the balcony in Liu vi. There were bouts of activity on the monitor sometimes, but it didn''t result in anything.


    "I have given her the injection. Keep checking her condition."


    The nurse nodded.


    ---


    It was the same dark, cold ce; ck and void of anything, where the woman would see the fragments of someone''s memories. For a long time, only one scene looped around endlessly; the memory where the woman was trapped in a shed and the other woman, who she called Nana, came back to save her after she fell off the slope.


    Nana was frantically trying to wake up the other woman. "Please wake up. We have to leave."


    She didn''trun away?


    The woman was getting more and more agitated as it was nearing to the point of decision.


    What is this uneasiness


    Nana said as she tried toe out of the shed holding that woman''s hand, "Just a little. Don''t leave my hand."


    The woman in the memories heard the men return and panicked, she harshly shook her hand off and ran away, leaving Nana alone in that shed.


    The woman would see this scene endlessly as it refused to go forward as if it was meant to make her realize something.


    All this time, she thought that the woman in the memories did nothing wrong. She was scared. It was hard not to act selfishly.


    But as this scene was hammered on her like an infinite loop, the realization finally came this time.


    NoYou shouldn''t have left her


    If the woman was scared, then so was Nana. If she could act selfishly, then so could have Nana.


    "She came to save you, but you abandoned her."


    The woman suddenly felt dizzy and instantly clutched her head in pain. She got a splitting headache.


    "W-what is going on?"


    As if she realized the intended point, the memory of that kidnapping night disappeared.


    She was taken back to the time when that woman, as a little girl, had pinched Jing''s cheeks harshly because she was jealous of him taking up the boy''s time all to himself.


    The boy pinched her cheek hard in return and said coldly, "Now, do you understand how little bit it was?"


    The girl cried, feeling the pain.


    Then the memory changed. The little boy was now a grown man, the husbandthe ex-husband of that woman in the memories.


    She felt short of breath.


    The woman in the memory was holding onto the man''s hand, standing and fumbling on the balcony''s railing, trying to save herself from falling.


    The man''s words were resounding in the woman''s ears as he was smiling sinisterly.


    "Does our exact current situation, at this very moment, remind you of something?"


    The woman immediatelypared it to that night. Just the situation was reversed. She was at the other end, holding onto Nana''s hand.


    "Now, do you understand how it feels to be?"


    She filled in the nk.


    Abandoned


    The man let her hand off his grasp, and she felljust as Nana must have.


    The woman inhaled sharply. Her body was shaking and trembling. Her heart was beating fast as loudly as a drum. Sweat trickled down her skin. As the woman crashed on the ground, she felt the familiar pain searing through every part of her body. Her eyes became slightly red as big drops of hot tears were rolling down her cheeks.


    But she didn''t understand why was she feeling all this? What was the connection?


    It was the woman in the memories who did everything. Then why was she suffering?


    As an answer to that, a mirror appeared out of nowhere.


    Why a mirror?


    Amidst the tearing pain, she forced herself to get up. She slowly walked towards it, taking small steps.


    As she got closer to it, the reflection in the mirror began to show. A bad feeling was arising in her heart.


    She felt as if a thunderbolt zapped her. She couldn''t believe her eyes. She raised her hand to touch her cheek.


    It was herthe same woman in the memories.


    She was Huian. She was herself.


    "What? I-I am that woman? I amHuian?"


    Then the realization struck her.


    "I did all thatI was the one who hurt everyone?"


    Once again, she could hear a man''s cold, unfeeling voice. She unconsciously shuddered.


    Jinhai


    "Does it remind you of something?"


    Huian remembered the night. Her betrayal in answer to Nana''s bravery.


    "Now, do you understand?"


    Huian copsed on her knees as the truth dawned upon her.


    He knew


    He knew everything from the beginning.


    And just like that, a bright light focused at her, blinding her eyes. The dark ce was now slowly vanishing into nothingness as she felt herself float in the air. She felt lighter and lighter as she was nearing to the source of the light.


    She reached the center of its core and felt her consciousness settle down.


    Huian suddenly opened her eyes, gasping sharply, taking in a mouthful of air. Her forehead was covered in sweat.


    She was feeling disoriented when the nurse who was standing nearby looked shocked and called out.


    "Doctor! Come quickly! Miss Xiang Huian has woken up!"
