Be My Strength
/ Be My Strength Chapter 326
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't protect you! It's my fault! It's my fault that you were hurt! I should have known it! I should have noticed it!" cried An Qi Yan . She tried to kowtow to her daughter but Kai Xin would not let her do it . DX had to forcibly pull her up and sat her down on the chair . Even then, her emotions were all over the place .
Unable to take it anymore, Kai Xin hugged her mother from behind . With a choked up voice, she murmured, "It's not your fault! It's . . . It's none of our faults . . . I was at the wrong place at the wrong time…"
"Why? Why you . . . Why my daughter…What did my daughter do to suffer through this . . . " cried An Qi Yan . She kept thumping her chest to stop the invisible pain that threatened to suffocate her .
Despite the tears that were flowing down her face, Kai Xin smiled, "They are going to hurt someone . . . Even if it's not me, it would be another innocent person…"
She released her mother and leaned back against DX as she said, "As much as I hated what they've done to me . . . what they did to me led me to him…"
An Qi Yan cupped her daughter's face as she cried tearfully, "Ye Tian . . . That evil boy! I let him in my house . . . What've I done…"
"You didn't know…" said Kai Xin as she held onto her mother's wrinkly hands .
"Why didn't you tell me?" asked An Qi Yan . Everything made sense now . Why Kai Xin was so adamant to change school and why she turned into a complete recluse . . .
Kai Xin shook her head, "I didn't want you to get upset . . . If it's not because of the news . . . I'd never tell you or Kai An…"
"What news?"
Kai Xin filled her in on what happened and what would happen soon .
An Qi Yan caressed her daughter's face as she scolded her softly, "You should have told us about it . . . No matter what, you should have let us know so that we can do something…"
Kai Xin shook her head, "Even if I get to go back in time, I'd still do nothing about it . Mum . . . You won't be able to do anything . . . They are too powerful and if you try to do anything, they would just destroy our family . "
When An Qi Yan looked at her sadly, Kai Xin added, "They wanted to see my reaction . They don't want to destroy me alone . They want to destroy Kai An as well . I don't want them to hurt my brother . I'd rather suffer in silence than pull everyone down with me . . . "
"Xin…"
Before she could say anything else, Kai Xin interrupted her, "Kai An loves me very much . I know that, and I also love him as well . I don't want him to ruin his future because of this . I don't want him to fight against people that he cannot win against . "
"Who needs your protection!" yelled Kai An angrily . He had gone into the kitchen to talk to them when he overheard their conversation .
"Kai An…" murmured Kai Xin . She found herself unable to meet him in the eyes .
Kai An slammed his hand down on the countertop as he snapped, "I'm your big brother! Who the f*ck needs your protection!"
"Get out of here!" snapped DX . He had enough of Kai An . Even if he was Kai Xin's brother, he would not allow Kai An to speak to her in such a manner . He stalked towards him menacingly and if it was not because of Kai Xin holding him back, he would have punched the guy in the face .
Right now, in his pain and anger, Kai An did not even notice that DX was there . His eyes were completely focused on his younger sister . He could feel his blood boiling from the anger and knowledge that the three 'friends' of his violated his baby sister .
Glaring at Kai Xin, Kai An pointed out angrily, "You should have relied more on us! Why do you always have to hold it in?! Am I even your brother!"
Before Kai Xin could say anything, he stormed out of the room . He knew that he was being childish but he could not help it .
"I'll look after him," said Callum before he ran off after Kai An .
"Are you alright? You should've let me punch him," said DX as he hugged her tightly . He wanted to skin her brother alive for scaring her like that .
Sighing, she shook her head, "It's a normal reaction . Dr . Phillip warned me . "
"I didn't know that you talked to him…"
She pushed him away slightly before she murmured, "I told him in confidence . I know that I said that therapy would not help . . . but I figured that I should give it a try . Besides, I was thinking that if it leaks out, and it did, I want to know how to help my family go through this . "
Glancing at the entrance, she hoped that Kai An would be able to forgive her for keeping it a secret from everyone .
