Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 187

William stands there, gazing at nothing for quite a while. It is not until Karin shakes off his hand heavily and leaves with resentment that he recovers himself and hurriedly chases Karin out of the hotel. Looking at her disappearing figure, he yells at her, "I won’t let this go like that! I won’t let you treat me as that kind of person!"

Karin doesn’t stop nor turn back, she reaches out and calls a taxi, then gets on the car expressionlessly. Her face looks so pale, like a gardenia flower, its fragrance is still there but its purity no longer exists.

She is searching her mobile phone in her pocket with a shaking hand, but finds that her phone is switched off. She closes her eyes, pondering in pain for a moment, and dials Troy's number.

Her call is answered immediately, "Hello? Karin?"

When she suddenly hears his gentle voice from the other side, Karin no longer can hold back her tears, weeping silently.

"Karin, are you okay?"

She desperately covers her mouth to stop herself from crying out, whimpering for a while before clearing her throat and calming herself down to try to explain, "Last night... "

"I know."

"What do you... know?" Her face becomes paler.

"I know last night you were at Billie's house. I called you, but your phone was switched off, so I called her and asked her where you were. She said you were with her, then I was relieved that you were safe at her house."

Karin is stunned. She suddenly feels as if she comes from a different world, she can’t understand what everyone says anymore. Noticing her silence, Troy sweetly comforts her, "Don't be sad, people can't come back to life again, what gone are gone. We should live our lives well."

"I know... "

Her tears return again. She feels so wretched that she couldn’t even tell how she feels to Troy. She thinks Troy must not know how much pain a dead person could bring to a living person. If he knows, he would never say something like that to her again.

"I'm sorry."

She waits for him to hang up the phone first, but only gets an apology from the other side. Karin weeps more fiercely, "Why did you say sorry to me?"

"I doesn't find out the exact cause of Jacob's death last night, I feel very sorry for you, give me some more time, I won't let you down."

"No need... "

She almost blurts out, obviously the answer she is so desperate to know last night, doesn’t seem important to her anymore. She doesn’t want him to dig into it, not because she doesn’t care about Jacob, but because she doesn’t want Troy to know that Jacob is no longer the old Jacob, and he saved the one that he shouldn’t have...

If it isn’t for Karin, Troy wouldn't let go of anyone who betrays him. If he knows the truth, maybe he would be sad, but it means nothing compared with what happened last night. He will be devastated if he knows his Karin slept with other guy. Karin doesn't have the courage to confess to him now.

"Why?" As she expects, Troy is so confused.

"As you says, people can't come back once they are died. Knowing the cause of Jacob’s death doesn’t bring him back. This thing has bothering you for a long time, so now the best thing for us to do is just letting it go, okay?"

Although Troy is a bit confused, he doesn't ask more questions, he smiles and says, "Well then, I'm going to a meeting, see you tonight."

"See you."

After hanging up the phone, Karin finally couldn't restrain herself from crying. She covers her face with two hands and cries out loud, thinking over and over again in her mind that she is so so sorry to her Troy and she is the one that should apologize to him first...

She cries so loud, so devastated that even the taxi driver feels a surge of pity for her and turns around to ask her gently, "Miss, is everything okay?"

She looks up, realizing that she maybe behave unladylike, she dries up her tears and says, "I am fine, please just pull over there."

Sitting in an elegant cafe with good lighting on the second floor, Karin looks outside, watching the hustle and bustle of the street, with cars passing by, pedestrians hurrying by, shortly, you will feel like you have lost in this world and couldn’t remember the faces you have seem just now.

Life can be so easy if memories could be erased like this, again she is totally indulging in her own thought.

The phone on the table vibrates, it is Billie calling, with a vacant face, she picks up the phone unconsciously, "... Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"Lotus Cafe, if you have time, just come over."
