" leave" was all Lin Yan said, he didn't want to hear anything that his mother wanted to say, not anymore. It was sheer torture to be betrayed by someone he doubted so much, he knew that she did it for him. But he didn't need her to do what she did, he wasn't a coward and because of his mother's interference, he became one, for all his life. 

A coward who hid behind his wife, to safeguard his life. 

And he would never be able to wipe this stain off his life because Su Wan has already gone ahead and done it! Now he will be a coward all his life, with unwashable guilt. Great.

" Okay," said Mother Lin as she walked out of the room, she bowed in front of Shen Junxi as an apology then without waiting for Shen Junxi to say anything, she walked away. 

She was sorry for hurting Su Wan but she wasn't sorry for what she has done, Because if she got another chance to make this decision, she will make the same decision all over again. It didn't matter if Lin Yan hate her for all his life, as long as he was alive and well, she would take all his hatred without any complaint.

" Ah, Yan... You" Father Lin wanted to chide Lin Yan but he knew that his son wasn't wrong either. But he couldn't leave his wife alone either, so without saying anything, he walked out of the room and just like his wife, he bowed to Shen Junxi. No matter what Shen Junxi's niece was hurt because of his wife, it was given that they should apologise to him for making Su Wan suffer like this. 

Then he rushed after his wife, he was afraid that his wife's illness would end up flaring because of all the stress. And with his sons still upset, other than him no one will be willing to take care of her. 

" Ah Yan" began Lin Jing, he didn't want to advocate what his mother did but he also didn't want Lin Yan to beat himself so hard " it's not your fault, Wan Wan choose to do this"

Lin Yan said nothing, he took the seat next to Su Wan's bed and took scratched her hand in his, like a possessed man he rubbed the back of her hand. He didn't look up at his brothers who got worried because of his attitude, afraid that Lin Yan was in his ' snapped ' zone once again, the three brothers exchanged a look with each other. They knew that Lin Yan was beating himself because of this, even if Su Wan's fever wasn't because of him, he would still think of it as his fault. 

They knew that their brother was a ' flight' risk, they couldn't leave him alone to calm down or beat himself up. If they do, then who knows what he might do because of this? They didn't want to see that scene again, especially Lin Chen. He still hasn't forgotten that sight, when his eldest brother took his second brother down the beam, his second brother's eyes were bugged out and his face was completely pale. That sight was so horrid that for days Lin Chen couldn't sleep, and in the end, he ended up getting sick because of all the stress he was taking. 

He didn't want to see that again, he knew that his brother could become suicidal if he was under too much stress. Lin Chen rubbed the golden string in his hand and took a deep breath, didn't his mother say that because of this string, Su Wan was going to share half of his second brother's Yin fate? Then what if he took a thread of this string? What if he tied that thread around his wrist? Will he share some of his brother's Yin energy? 

Whatever, casually lifting his shoulder, he took out a single thread from the golden string. 

" what are you d...doing?" asked Lin Yu as he watched his third brother take a thread from the golden string " what are you trying to d..do? What's going on y....your mind?"

Lin Chen shrugged " didn't mother say that with these two strings, the fate between second brother and Wan Wan is tied? Then why don't we share the fate too? If we tie a piece of this string around our wrist then maybe we will share second brother's Yin energy as well, in that case, Wan Wan wouldn't have to share half of his Yin energy if we take most of it. With us four here

, I think she will only share a fifth of it don't you think ?"

" NO" Lin Yan who heard this ridiculous suggestion abruptly lunged at Lin Chen as he rounded the bed but Lin Chen was taller and more agile than Lin Yu, thus, Lin Chen easily dodged Lin Yan's attack by raising his hand over his head. Lin Yan jumped but still couldn't reach Lin Yan's height, he glared at Lin Chen as his voice dropped a level " You don't know what are you doing, just give me the string! I will wear it! Give it to me! And untie that thread! "

" no, can't do," said Lin Chen swiftly " I'm sorry brother but you heard what mother said right? Once tied it cannot be untied, so I can't do that, so sorry" then he abruptly threw the string to Lin Jing and shouted " catch it elder brother"

And Lin Jing did catch it with ease.

Seeing that Lin Jing was the one who was currently holding the string, Lin Yan let go of Lin Chen's collar and held his hand out to Lin Jing. He would have jumped at Lin Jing too but his filial and should respect your elders teaching tied his hands. He couldn't jump at his elder brother, so he could only outstretch his hand and request " Elder brother, please hand that string to me"

Lin Jing looked down at the string and then at Lin Yan.. Then without breaking his gaze, Lin Jing took out a thread from the golden string too.
