Who is it referring to in this sentence? お前のこと護ろうとして、余計に傷つけて


> 鈴木を、壊しちゃった… なのに、お前のこと護ろうとして、余計に傷つけて  
>  I broke Suzuki... Nevertheless, in an effort to protect you

The second sentence, who does it refer to?

Context: A girl (Lisa) says those lines to her boyfriend. Previously she had
been talking with his ex-girlfriend (Susuki), who had entered into a deep
depression because the boy had chosen Lisa. Lisa tries to comfort Suzuki but
ends up hurting her more. At the same time Lisa was worried because Suzuki
kept saying that she will win him back, to which Lisa says that she will
always be with the boy, so that's impossible.

My question: In the second sentence who was Lisa protecting? The boy (making
it clear he's hers) or Susuki (who she wanted to console and make amends with
her). She's talking to the boy when she says that.




If Lisa is saying these lines to the boy, then お前 must be referring to that
boy. It's simply because お前 is always a second-person pronoun (="you"). The
third line also seems to be saying "I ended up hurting _you_ (=the boy)".
