Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 165

Then tears run out of Jacob’s eyes, as well as Karin’s. She’s moved by his gratitude, but grieved over his sin.

“Sis, could you help me with one last thing?”

“Of course.”

“If possible, could you please visit my mother for me? She’s an old woman of bad luck as she’s lost her favorite three—my father, my sister and me. His present husband is a son of a bitch, failing to take good care of her. Last time my mom was ill but my stepfather didn’t have money to bring her to hospital. I was desperately needed money to cure her, and I asked my boss to give me the murder task which I hadn’t done any like that before. Six years ago, when I left home to make a living, my mom told me not to do evil for a rich life. So, I didn’t do dirty work for my boss, and he disliked me for staying poor and low. But last time was an exception as I wanted to save my mom. I didn’t want her o die like my sister. The murder task upset me a lot, and I drowned my sorrows which caused the tragedy. What a loser I am!”

Jacob slaps himself in the face, and his thin shoulders tremble due to his sorrows.

“Stop!”

Karin wants to stop him and says, “I’ll get you out of here. Trust me. I will.”

“No, you can’t.”

Jacob shakes his head. “I’ve sentenced to death. Although I’m know little about law, but I know no one can save me.”

“I won’t give up until the last second.”

Karin wipes away her tears. “Trust me. I’ll get you out.”

“I would appreciate it if you’d often visit my mother for me…”

He can’t ask for much of her.

“Fine. I promise I will.”

Then Karin goes to the Charles Group. Although she doesn’t want to, but she has to go there for Jacob.

After deliberating for a while outside Troy’s office, she brings it up and knocks on the door.

“Miss Karin?”

Here comes Robert’s voice from behind, and she swivels to ask, “Is he in the office?”

“No.”

“Where’s he?”

Robert shakes his head. “After you left, he’s been sad. He called this morning that he’d be away for three days. He didn’t tell me his destination…”

Karin hastily says, “Could you please save Jacob?”

“Jacob?” He frowns with confusion. “Who?”

“The murder who was hired by Mia and ruined the wedding ceremony.”

“Why save him?”

“He’s my brother.”

“Your brother?”

Robert was shocked to death…

“I regard him as my brother.”

Then she tells him the story of her and Jacob. Robert lets out a long sigh. “He’s not easy to save unless Mr. Troy saves him.”

“Can’t you save Jacob?”

“Sorry I can’t.”

Robert looks at her with sorry. “Even if Mr. Troy can, he may not.”

“Why?”

“Because Jacob was the one that made Mia lose her legs, which caused a series of troubles for Mr. Troy and stopped him from marrying you. Do you still feel like he’ll save Jacob?”

Silence spills between Karina and Robert. With red watery eyes, Karin says, “I won’t give up. If he comes back, please let me know, thanks.”

Watching her sadly leave, Robert sighs again.

Billie feels surprised when she meets Karin in the school.

“What are you doing here, Karin? Are you going to stay?”

“No.”

“What?”

“I’m here to ask Troy for a favor.”

Billie widens her eyes and laughs, “I see. You don’t want to leave when you get to the airport, but you are too embarrassed to tell Troy. So, you find an excuse to stay by his side, don’t you?”

Then she nudges Karin. “Don’t you try to fool me…”

Karin rolls her eyes. “Nonsense.”

“What kind of favor do you want?”

“It’s a long story. Anyways, contact me, if you know where he is.”

“What? You can’t find him?”

“Yep. He said he’d be away for three days.”

“He must be hiding away from you.”

“I don’t think so…”
