Chapter 171: Will history repeat itself?

Nana weakly collapsed on a chair. Once again, fate played its card. Yes, they had both had admitted their feelings for each other. For sometime, she did feel happy.

But she knew her feelings do not have any destination. It was like she was walking down on an empty road with no end to it. Jinhai’s marriage was the cruel, blinding light that shone upon her eyes, shutting them harshly, making her unable to see her way forward.

She thought that after the banquet night, they went their separate ways. But, fate forced her to work in Liu Corps once again.

She thought that she would work hard and quickly pay off the debt to get free, but now the reality of Jinhai and her child breathing inside her womb had sealed that door too.

There was even a bigger worry gnawing her heart. As a child, she had suffered too much. First, she was an orphan. Then she got a loving family, but that happiness was short-lived, which was snatched away from her when she was ten years old.

For the past twelve years, she is living her life without even a proper family name. Yukito and Yukira always had the right to be called Yu Yukito and Yu Yukira. After the incident, they had decided to drop it, but in her heart, she knew that they still held the right.

But she is just…Nana. How many times have people raised questions about her introducing herself merely with a name?

So, then what about our child? Nana thought.

Will this child, too, never get a name? Will this child too has to suffer like how I did all these years? Will this child, too, never get a complete family?

She only wanted to live a simple life with her brothers, her Natsukashi, and her husband. She imagined her children happily living a normal life with their family.

Was that too much to ask?

But now that dream and that future seemed bleak. The very thought mercilessly stabbed her heart.

She covered her face with shaking hands, with a flood of tears gushing down her cheeks.

“Nana!” Jinhai panicked and kneeled in front of her. He held her hands in his palm and wiped her tears. “Please don’t cry. I know there are countless things worrying you, the future may seem scary, but I’m here. Always have and always will. This is my child, Liu Jinhai’s. I won’t let anybody hurt you or our child, I promise!”

But she seemed to hear nothing.

Zhou Bingwen also felt sad.

“Nana, please look at me just once.” He begged her.

But then slowly, Nana held her head and furrowed her brows. She started to feel dizzy, and her eyes were rolling back, gradually making her unconscious.

“Nana?”

Zhou Bingwen got alert.

She fainted, and Jinhai started gently shaking her. “Nana? Nana, wake up.”

“Uncle-“

“Let me see her.” Zhou Bingwen immediately bent down to check her pulse.

Jinhai got worried sick.

“Her pulse is a little weak. Let’s take her to my villa quickly. We will check her there.”

Without wasting any time, Jinhai carried Nana and rushed out of Natsukashi.

Huian snapped out of her daze and ran behind him. “Jinhai! Where are you going!? She is lying. It is not your child!”

Jinhai didn’t want to, but he stopped in his tracks. He menacingly looked at her, a wave of fury rising inside him. “This is the first, and the last time you are spewing such nonsense. Because I’ll make sure there won’t be a next time. Ever.”

He didn’t spare her a second glance and went off.

Zhou villa.

Liu and Chen family immediately rushed at Zhou’s residence as soon as they were informed.

Liu Hai saw Jinhai nervously pacing outside the room and asked worriedly, “Jinhai! What’s the matter? Zhou Bingwen informed me that you came here with Nana, and she is unconscious. What happened? Is she okay?”

“Bro, Sister Nana…” Jing and Liu Chunhua were concerned the same as Chen Liling and Chen Guiren.

Yukito and Yukira were also called midway through their lectures, and Driver Mu brought them to Zhou villa.

“Nee-chan! Where is she?” They frantically asked.

Liu Hai patted. “It’s alright. Zhou Bingwen is checking your sister. He is my good friend and a great Chinese medicine practitioner. Trust him.”

They weakly nodded.

Ten minutes passed by, and by then, the Xiang’s also reached there along with Huian. She didn’t tell them anything but kept on crying and crying and told them to fetch her and go to the Zhou villa.

Jinhai refused to say anything and only waited outside the door. Another ten minutes later, Zhou Bingwen finally came out with his wife, Zhou Shan.

“Uncle Zhou!” Jinhai rushed towards him. “How is Nana? What happened? Why did she faint?”

“Calm down, Jinhai. Nana is fine. Her pulse is stable now. She fainted because of stress. It was sudden news to her, and she might be thinking and stressing on a lot of things. That took a little toll on her.”

That relieved him a lot. “A-and our…”

He smiled. “Don’t worry. The baby is also healthy. Shan has checked her vitals and has thoroughly examined her body. Both are safe. She is resting.”

Now, Jinhai felt completely relieved.

But the others standing behind him…apparently not.

Liu Chunhua and Chen Liling asked at the same time. “What? Baby?”

Zhou Bingwen questionably looked at Jinhai.

Didn’t you tell them?

Jinhai shook his head.

He sighed. Making this old man do all the work.

“Yes. You heard it correct. Baby. Nana is pregnant.”
