Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 216

A woman has to go through countless pains in her life. And Karin tells herself wearily at the moment when the pain is tearing her heart out that never will she be a woman again in her next life. In her opinion, like her grandma says, in her next life, she should transform herself into a sea that can accommodate countless rivers so that she will endure no more pain, either physically or psychologically.

She delivers a baby girl safely, who has a beautiful face like that of her. However, the baby doesn’t want to open her eyes. That is probably because she is afraid of everything in this world.

By the time Karin wakes up, she has been lying in the ward with William sitting beside her. And she asks tiredly, "Where's the baby?"

"She is in the observation room."

Karin feels that her heart stutters as she says, "Why is she in the observation room?"

"According to the doctor, she is born twenty days prematurely. Moreover, during your pregnancy, you probably are in a bad mood. So the child's physique is a bit poor."

She is instantly in tears, trying with all her strength to get out of bed.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to check on her."

"You've just had a baby. And your body is still weak. Hurry up and lie down to rest."

Karin stubbornly breaks free from his grip, "I have to go there."

"You can't see her even if you go there. No one is allowed in there."

William presses her down on the bed hard as he says, "Don't worry, the child is fine. After she stays there for a few days, she will be sent here."

Tears flow out of Karin’s eyes involuntarily. She says as she is trembling, "Plead with the doctor that he should never let anything happen to my child. She is the hope of my life..."

"I know."

In the end, Karin closes her eyes in exhaustion, feeling overwhelmingly tired. At this time, how good it would be if her beloved one were by her side...

William stares at Karin's pale face, feeling upset as if a cat were scratching his heart hard. And the doctor's words are still ringing in his ears, “The patient suffered hemorrhaged during the childbirth. And the child was born twenty days prematurely. So the child's physique is very poor and needs to be observed for a while. I wonder whether the patient suffered a strong blow or was put under great pressure during her pregnancy... "

He closes his eyes in pain, gets up, and goes out of the ward. Then he finds the doctor and says with immense sincerity, "Please make sure that my child is safe and sound. No matter how much money is needed, I will be fine with it."

The doctor nods, "That is our duty."

Karin stays in the hospital for half a month and prays for her daughter every day. In the end, her daughter is brought out of the observation room with all her body indicators going back to normal except for being thinner than other babies.

Karin needs to fill in the baby’s name on the birth certificate that is to be issued. Holding the form given to her by a nurse, Karin is lost in thoughts. Thinking of her eventful love story with Troy, she tremblingly writes down a few words, “Esme Shaw.”

The little nurse kindly reminds her, "The field for the name of the child's father has to be filled in as well."

Karin's hand trembles. And she drops the pen to the ground.

Seeing that the look on her face doesn’t look good, William takes the form from her hand and then walks out of the ward.

Standing in the corridor of the hospital, he fills in his name in the field for the name of the child's father.

On the day when Karin and the baby are discharged, he proposes, "Let's move back to Star River Community where the environment is better for the children’s growing up."

She indifferently refuses, "No need. It doesn’t matter where children will grow up. Children who grow up in adversity can withstand the difficulties more capably."

William sighs, "I knew you wouldn't accept my proposal."

After sending Karin and the baby back to the apartment they rented earlier, he doesn't leave immediately. Instead, he waits there until Karin puts the child to sleep and says in a serious tone, "Let's talk."

"Talk about what?"

"I promised before that I would tell you whether anything happened that night or not after the baby was born."

Karin smiles mockingly, "When I wanted to know about it, you didn't tell me. And now you want to tell me. I don't want to know the answer anymore."

"Why?"

"It doesn't matter who the father of the child is. What matters is that she is my child and that her name is Esme Shaw."
