Capture Your Heart

Chapter 290 Ending of the Story 5

"You know if I mock you or not."

William looks into her eyes. What appears in his eyes is not guessing but affirmation. Karin can't figure out which makes William doubt it.

"I hope he doesn’t lose his memory. But the fact is that he forgets me!"

She wants to throw his arm away, but his strength is too strong. No matter how hard she struggles, she can't get rid of his restraint. Suddenly, Karin yells angrily, "Let go of me!"

"Even if he can deceive everyone, he can't deceive me. Because he has the same gaze as mine. That gaze is a hidden love for a woman."

Karin is startled. She says with shame and anxiousness, "William, let me go. Didn't you say in Edinburgh before that you won't have any feelings for me when we meet each other again?"

"Yes, I said it. I also hope that I can do what I said, but I overestimate myself. Even if you never look at me, I still have only you in my eyes."

"Don’t you feel it ironic to say such things now? While collaborating with your Dad to destroy my life, you’re confessing your love to me now. Since when did you become so hypocritical?"

"I don't think I'm hypocritical. Even if you think I'm hypocritical, it's my identity hypocrisy. Even so, I still don’t feel I did anything wrong."

"Well, well." Karin sneers, "You continue to do that bad things with your mean Dad!"

Karin glares at him fiercely. She turns around and walks forward quickly. William's question comes from behind, "Aren't you afraid that I go to expose Troy's lies?"

"Whatever! If you can expose it, I’ll be grateful to you!"

After experiencing so much, she can't believe William anymore. She doesn't believe that he really knows the truth. Maybe he’s deliberately setting her up.

"You really haven't changed at all. Just like the past! Actually, you are flustered, but you still pretend to be calm."

"Don't pretend that you know me well. I’m not familiar with you at all!"

"Don't worry. I won't expose his lies."

Karin stops abruptly and looks back at him in confusion, "What tricks do you want to play?"

"What tricks can I play? There are many tricks I can play. Just because of you, my hands are like being tied up. In many cases, I can’t move. Whether you admit it or not, I can pretend that I didn’t see anything today. If you are grateful to me, please remember that I have turned a blind eye more than once."

Karin returns to the room dumbfoundedly. She’s thinking about William's words. Suddenly, she feels that she can't see through William. Some of his behavior and some of the words he says are as confusing as himself. She’s so confused.

"Karin, what are you thinking? Didn't you find that Troy had already left?"

Hearing what Emmanuel said, Karin realizes that Troy and Molly are no longer in their seats. She adjusts her state quickly and confuses the enemy with her best emotions.

"When did he leave?"

Tears wells up into her eyes. She’s trying to hold back the tears. Such a sad expression is more pitiful than hysterical howling.

"It has been a while. Don't be too sad. His memory will come back sooner or later."

"Even if his memory comes back, I'm afraid that he has already fallen in love with someone else."

Karin sniffs. She sobs with chokes while standing up, "I have to go now. My head hurts a bit."

"Okay. Don't think too much when you go back. Take a good night's sleep."

"Well."

She turns around to leave. When she’s passing by the door, it happens to ran into William who comes back from the bathroom. Their eyes meet each other. The looks in their eyes are meaningful. But they just pass by each other like strangers...

At night, the moonlight is shallow. The sky is like to be covered with black gauze. Karin can't sleep peacefully. She’s sitting on the side of the bed sadly with her hands on her knees, thinking about what happened during the day.

Troy must have been unable to bear the torture of seeing her hurt and pretending to ignore it, so he leaves in a hurry. Eight days have passed since the last time she saw him. Two lovers can only meet once in eight days. What a cruel and helpless thing! Karin feels heartache when she thinks about it. What makes her heartache even more is that she doesn't know when she can see him next time...

Feeling very upset, she wants to go out and get some fresh air. She wears a coat and walks to the rooftop.

How long has it been that she hasn't sat here with him to enjoy the moonlight? The warm picture of yesterday is still in her mind, but in a blink of an eye, it’s a long time ago.

She’s lying on a wooden chair with closed her eyes, recalling those happy days in the past. She falls into a dream unknowingly. In the dream, she actually sees the person who she misses so much is coming to her. He walks towards her and squats in front of her. He’s gently holding the hand that she’s scalded today and gently strokes it with his fingertips. Then he slowly raises it to his lips and kisses back and forth gently. The real and warm touch suddenly awakens her from her dream. Karin opens her eyes slowly, but she is shocked by the scene in front of her...

The scene in front of her is exactly the same as in her dream. The person she misses so much is holding her hand and kissing it. For a whole minute, she can’t react. She thinks that she hasn't come out of the dream. It’s until he stretches out a hand to stroke her cheek that she comes to her senses. She says blankly, "Am I still dreaming?"

"No."

Troy pinches her hard. The clear pain awakens her completely. She throws herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. She asks in surprise and joy, "Honey, why are you here? "

She is so surprised. When you see a person in your dream, you can still see him when you wake up. Isn’t it a happy miracle?

Troy holds her hand and walks a few steps to the guardrail on the left. He’s pointing down. Following the direction of his finger, Karin sees a ladder. Suddenly, she figures it out, "Did you climb up?"

"Yep."

"It's only ten o'clock now. Have Emmanuel's men gone?"

"No, the people I brought led them away."

"Then they will be back soon?"

"Yes, so I can't stay too long. I just want to see you. I’ll leave."

He lowers his head and holds her injured hand again. He feels so sorry, "Does it still hurt?"

"No." She shakes her head.

"But I still hurt."

He puts her hand to the place of his heart, "From the noon to now, it still hurts. So even if all previous efforts might be in vain, I still want to come to see you. Only when I see you, this place won’t continue to hurt. Then I can feel relieved to do other things."

"I thought it was only me who was missing you."

"Fool, don't you believe that I will miss you more than you miss me?"

She smiles relievedly, "Seeing you risking your life to see me, of course I believe it."

"Sit down. I'll apply medicine to your hand."

Troy takes out an ointment with golden wrap from his pocket. He seats her on a chair. He carefully and gently applies the ointment to the back of her hand. While applying it, he says, "Seeing that William held your hand so boldly, I almost rushed up to push him away. Fortunately, you got up and went to the bathroom, so I didn’t act impulsively."

"That was a trick that Emmanuel deliberately arranged."

"I know. So I insisted on leaving, fearing that he will use every means to force us to meet each other."

"He is just an old fox."

Karin says angrily, "I was surprised when he invited me to have a meal. You’re actually invited too. You don't know how nervous I was when I saw you. I was afraid that I was not doing well enough and would cause you trouble."

"You performed very well. Not only did you deceive the old fox and the other two mean jerks, but I was shocked by you. You’ve already known that I’m pretending that I lost my memory, but how can you cry so sad?"

Karin slowly lowers her head and sighs sadly, "At the time, there was only one picture in my mind, which is the picture of you being forced to a desperate situation. When I think of you jumping into the cold water in desperation but I can't help you, I’m so painful that it’s like that my heart is stabbed by a knife. Tears flowed down involuntarily. The more I thought about it, the more I’m sad and the more the tears shed fiercely. So I cried so sadly..."

Troy hugs her tightly, "It’s really wronged you."

"I don't feel wronged at all. I can't do anything for you. But I'm very happy as long as I don’t bring you some trouble." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Karin feels that the back of her hand is a little cold. She exclaims, "What panacea you gave me? Now, it doesn't hurt at all."
