Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 285

Karin slowly stretches her arms as if she were to jump down. In the decisive critical moment, she is waiting, waiting for Troy to take the initiative to reveal his disguise. Unfortunately, she waits for a long time and doesn’t get his response.

"You don’t believe that I will jump, right?"

She gives him a slight sideways glance and smiles ruefully.

Troy knits his eyebrows as his gaze is as deep as the sea. And after a short silence, he says, "I've said what I should say. So don't provoke me in this way."

"Then you should go. Since what should be said has been said, my death won’t have anything to do with you."

She doesn’t expect that Troy will indeed turn around and leave. So she laughs through tears and says in her heart, “ Troy, you know me. You know I am deliberately provoking you. But you forget that I know you better.”

“Bang!” A loud sound, rings. And the sea sets off huge waves. She indeed jumps. And she is gambling with her life to bet on him to turn his head back.

In the twinkling of an eye, the reef is empty. Troy closes his eyes in pain, turns around, and follows her to jump into the sea without any hesitation. By the time he fishes her out of the sea, Karin, who is unskilled in water, has completely lost consciousness.

He bends down to give her cardiopulmonary resuscitation and pats her back. But she is unconscious. Troy shouts, "Wake up, wake up..."

He continued to give her cardiopulmonary resuscitation. And when his body begins to tremble, she finally opens her eyes and asks in a dumb voice, "Since you don't know me, why are you crying?"

The moment his eyes meet her eyes, he realizes that he is in tears. And the tears fall exactly on her cheeks.

"I'm asking you. If you don't know me, why did you save me? If you don't know me, why are you crying? If you don't know me, why does your body keep trembling?"

Faced with her vocal questioning, Troy finally lowers his head, "Regarding your stubbornness, I've never been able to do anything about it. Although I don’t want to lose to you, I am letting you win."

Karin sniffs and lets out a loud cry. She, who has been holding herself back from crying, bursts out crying. And she cries and confesses, "how confident I am that you will save me. In the world, only you know that I can’t swim. But there is one thing you don’t know, that is, from the moment you fell into the sea and disappeared, I learned to hold my breath in the water. I drench myself in the bathtub every night to practice it and let the water in the bathtub drown me, feeling the feeling of yours when you fell into the sea. As time goes by, I can lie in the water for three whole minutes without breathing. And I won’t die. I was pretending just now. I am so sobered now that I even remember where your tears fell on my face. Don’t you find me very impressive?"

He nods. And two drops of hot tears fall from his blurry eyes once again and fall on her chest, burning her heart.

"Why? Why did you pretend to lose your memory? What kind of inexplicable pain you are in that you can’t even tell me the truth?"

Instead of directly answering her, Troy asks her rhetorically, "Why should you have to make me worried about you so much? Why should I lose so completely?"

"Because I love you. The reason why I love you isn’t because of what you can bring me but because I love you and I am ready to accept what you bring to me. Even if you have countless reasons, I don't mind facing the difficulties with you. True love means I won’t count on you to allow me to boast in front of others. However, deep inside I have the certainty that even if all people aren’t with me, you will still stand by my side."

She finishes her words, reaching out and hugging his neck. And her tears fall silently. And his words suddenly ring in her ears, "At midnight tonight, I'll wait for you at the villa by the Waterside Bay."

Karin is stunned. Then he pushes her away, gets up, and walks away without looking back...

He walks in a hurry. As she wants to catch up with him, all of a sudden, she notices a figure ahead is sneaking around and taking photos with a camera. Although he seems to be randomly taking pictures of the scenery, he is taking pictures of them.

At that moment, Karin finally understands somewhat the reason for Troy's estrangement from her.

She sits back down on the beach and buries her face in her knees, looking seemingly sad. However, she is very relieved. Because Troy asked her to meet at midnight, which means that she can know what she wants to know at that time.
