Realization

Jinhai said quietly, "I had no choice. Yukira is Nana's brother. How could I have hurt him?"

Xin said nothing.

"I...regretted scaring him that day. I shouldn't have done that. But, I don't know what took over me when he said that he won't let Nana live with me. l lost my control."

His gaze was dark. "He was a threat to me. He wouldn't have kept quiet for much longer. If it had been some other stranger, then he would have been already dead, but him…" He shook his head.

"Just as Nana loves me, she loves her brothers too. If anything happened to them, she would be devastated. I have already committed enough sins to make her detest me if she knows everything. If I harmed him, she would hate me to the core. And I can bear anything but her hatred." His voice held a tinge of loneliness in it.

"Her brothers are the limit that I cannot cross."

Jinhai waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Yukira still knows only half of the truth."

Xin nodded.

That made sense too.
