Chapter 193: The witness to his plan
Jinhai continued sadly, “Huian’s mental state was bad. She was not able to understand what I was saying. She was only smiling at me.”
Liu Chunhua said, “T-that is true…Some maids said that when Jinhai had left the villa, she would often talk to herself, thinking that Jinhai is there with her…”
Grandma Liu roared. “Look what you all have done! Poor Huian, she couldn’t bear this betrayal and thought to end her life. You schemed such a vicious trap for her!” She started sobbing.
Xiang Wei collapsed on the chair.
He had promised that he would not let Huian hurt herself like last time, but he still failed. He couldn’t do anything but watch her jumping off right in front of his eyes.
Did she hate us to the point that she tried to…What will I do if something happens to her? I will never be able to forgive myself.
Liu Hai came forward and patted him. “Xiang Wei, have faith. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Nothing will happen to Huian. You are her father. How can you lose hope?”
Liu Chunhua was also comforting Xiang Qingge, who was crying uncontrollably.
Nana sorrowfully looked at them.
The surgeon came out two hours later.
Xiang Wei frantically asked, “Doctor, how is my Huian?”
Xiang Qingge was hopefully looking at him.
The doctor hesitated. “I am sorry, Mr. Xiang. Miss Huian has slipped into a vegetative state.”
Everybody widened their eyes in shock. Jinhai remained impassive.
“W-what do you mean?”
“We tried our best, but the wounds on her head and body are too severe. In a vegetative state, she can see and hear you, but cannot react. She will not be fully aware of her surroundings. The shock and wounds from the fall have paralyzed her body. Her body may heal slowly, but her mind will take time to come out of it.”
Xiang Qingge turned towards her husband, her face deathly pale. “Wei…” she was mumbling in between her sobs. “Huian…our daughter is in vegetative state…?”
Xiang Wei felt as if a thunderbolt struck him.
The others were similarly shocked by this news.
“But you are the doctor! Do something! Bring her out of this! I will not see my daughter in such a state!”
The doctor said, “Mr. Xiang, I understand your distress. And trust me, we are giving Miss Huian the best treatment possible. But she is not completely responding to our treatment. From what I can tell, something disastrous has happened that has greatly affected her mind. Something so unbelievable that she is not able to come out of that shock. She has seen, heard, or experienced something that she never imagined would happen with her.”
Xiang Wei clenched his hands into a fist.
What else could it be other than how we tricked her into signing the divorce papers? It is our betrayal that has hurt her.
He shut his eyes, tears flowing from his eyes.
Jinhai faintly smiled which was barely noticeable.
“How long will it take for Huian to come out of her it?”
The doctor sighed, “Her psychological state is the major cause of her vegetative state. It’s like she has shut herself off from this world. She has no hope or the will left to live anymore. So, even if she can hear you, she may not react at all. Right now…we cannot say for sure. She may come out tomorrow, or next week, or it may take months or even years.”
Grandma Liu looked in disbelief. “What…?”
“Yes, that is the case with patients who slip into such a state. We cannot predict when they’ll come out of it. Obviously, we will continue with our treatment, but Miss Huian must respond to it. That is why you, as her parents and her well-wishers, should talk to her and motivate her. Once she regains her consciousness, she can hear you. With your love and care, she can make it.”
Liu Hai said, “Wei, don’t lose hope. We are all there with you. We will do everything we can to heal Huian.”
Liu Chunhua nodded.
“When can we meet her?”
“She is under observation for tonight. You can only meet her tomorrow morning.”
The doctor then left assuring everyone.

Jinhai and Nana were in another ward where one nurse was dressing the wound on his hand.
The nurse instructed. “It’s done. Don’t get your hand wet in water for a few days.”
“En.”
Nana asked worriedly, “Has the pain lessen a bit?”
Jinhai lifted his hand in front of her, “If you give a kiss, it will vanish completely.”
“You…”
Jinhai pulled her to him. “I was only trying to cheer you up. Don’t be mad.” He smiled cheekily.
She shook her head. “Oh yes, the twins would have returned by now. They must be confused about this sudden incident. Wait, I will give Yukito a call.”
“En.”

At Liu villa, Yukira’s heart was thudding louder and louder as he ran towards his room. He shut the door hard with a bang.
His whole body was trembling as if he had seen a ghost. He was gasping heavily, sweat trickling down his face. He nervously took a glass of water. But he was so terrified that his hands were shaking, spilling the water out of the glass.
He was still unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
Why…why did brother Liu Jinhai push Miss Huian from the balcony?
