Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 114

Before dawn, Karin's cell phone rings. In panic, she hurriedly reaches out to pick it up. Since Troy left, she has never been asleep.

"Miss Karin, please come over the hospital."

It’s Robert who is speaking.

Suddenly, Karin’s phone falls from the bed to the floor. She is dumbfounded.

"Hello? Miss Karin? Are you listening? Hello? Hello? Hello?"

"I'm listening. Keep saying..."

She tremblingly bents over to pick up the phone, her voice trembling more than her body.

"Donmon Hospital. Please come over first."

Robert doesn't have time to talk to her in details, so he hangs up the phone first.

Karin sits alone for a long time before getting up. She doesn't know how long it is from the Ziteng Garden to Donmon Hospital, but she knows that she's suffering along the way.

At the entrance of the hospital, when she sees Robert, she asks in a panic, "Where is Troy? Where is Troy?"

"Miss Karin, don't worry. Mr. Troy is okay."

He points to the second floor and said, "I will take you up."

When she arrives at the door of the operating room on the second floor, she rushes forward and hugs Troy tightly.

"You scared me to death."

Tears can't help falling. She finally feels relieved.

Karin cries for a while and then she feels something wrong. She looks up at him and asks with tears, "Why don't you speak?"

Troy's gloomy expression scares her. She has never seen him so solemn.

"She is inside."

"Who?"

Karin turns her head and watches the light in the operating room turning on. She felt anxious again.

"Mia."

"What happened to her? What happened to you two?"

He’s silent. Robert walks over and explains, "Last night, an unidentified person drove and attacked Miss Mia and Mr. Troy. At the critical moment, Miss Mia pushed Mr. Troy away and she was injured."

"Is the injury serious?"

"The situation is not optimistic."

Robert casts his eyes to Troy, and does not dare to go on.

"Has the murderer arrested?"

Troy asks coldly.

"No, the car drove to a nearby mountain crossing and exploded. Now it is impossible to find out whether the murderer was alive or dead."

"Continue to investigate. I have to see him with my own eyes no matter he’s alive or in death!"

"Yes."

The atmosphere is so tense that Karin doesn't dare to say something. She pulls Robert aside and asks softly, "Where is the servant?"

"Run away."

"Where did she go?"

"When Miss Mia pushed Mr. Troy away, she took advantage of the chaos and ran away. We haven’t had her whereabouts yet."

Looking back at Troy sadly, Karin finally understands why he looks so sad. When he’s only one step away from the truth, but such a thing happened. How unwilling he is except heartache!

The door of the operating room is pushed open. Several doctors walk out of it. The attending doctor takes off his masks. He looks quite gloomy.

"How is her situation?" Troy asks in a deep voice.

"Mr. Troy, she is seriously injured. At present, the best plan is to amputate."

Suddenly, everyone is stunned.

"What did you say? You say it again."

"I said at present, the best plan is to amputate both feet!"

"Nonsense! Is it the best plan to amputate the feet? Are you a doctor? Call your dean over!"

Troy’s furious, "I tell you, if she can't be cured, if she is hurt a bit, I will let the whole hospital disappear from this world!”

"Mr. Troy, calm down, calm down first."

Robert steps forward to comfort him, but Troy can't calm down at all. He grabs the attending doctor by the collar, roaring vigorously. His eyes become blood red.

It’s Karin’s first time to see him out of control. She stands in the corner, completely dumbfounded.

After a while, she suddenly rushes to the attending doctor, crying and begging, "Doctor, I beg you, can you save her? I beg you not to have her amputated. She can’t be disabled. She really can’t. As long as you are willing to save her, I’ll use my rest life to repay your kindness. Please..."

Her actions startle everyone present.

"Karin, what are you doing?"

Troy hugs her hard, wondering why she suddenly cries so sadly.

In fact, it’s not only that he doesn’t understand, but that everyone doesn’t understand, except for herself. She knows very well that Mia can't be disabled. If Mia is disabled, the relationship between her and Troy is over.

"Is there really no better way?"

Robert looks worriedly at the helpless doctor.

"Sorry, we have really tried our best. The patient needs to have an operation right now, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?"

"She’ll die."

"Transfer to another hospital. Immediately!"

Troy roars furiously. No matter what, he can't owe Mia any more.

"Mr. Troy, this is already the best hospital in Zurich. It has already happened. Let's accept the facts..."

Robert tugs at Karin's sleeves. He lowers his voice and says, "Quickly persuade him. Don't waste time anymore."

Karin's face is pale and bloodless. Her lips move a few times, but she can't say anything. She runs away without looking back.

Asking her to persuade Troy is equal to indirectly persuading Troy to give up the feelings between them.

She runs to the top floor in one breath. Staring at Zurich below, her tears fall. She closes her eyes and prays to God. She’s willing to live ten years less, in exchange for Mia to be safe.

Her mother once said, “Look up at the sky. If you are sad, look up at the sky. The sky is so big that it will certainly accommodate all your sadness and grievances.”

She keeps looking at the sky. Until her neck is hard and painful, but the sadness in her heart remains undiminished, so she suddenly understands that what her mother said is a lie.

The mobile phone in her pocket rings. It’s Robert who is calling her. She doesn't dare to answer it because she’s afraid of hearing any bad news.

But she has to face what she should face. She can't solve anything by hiding here. She takes a deep breath. Holding a little hope, she goes down the top floor step by step.

Maybe, God accepts her prayer. Maybe, things are not as bad as the doctor said.

Perhaps, everything has room for remedy.

Returning to the operating room on the second floor, she sees Troy signing something. A bad feeling destroyed all her hope. She staggers and runs over, but it’s still too late. Troy has already signed on the consent form of undergoing surgery.

Suddenly, the future that Karin meticulously describes begins to become shaky.

"Miss Karin, are you okay?"

She almost falls down. Robert stretches out his hand to hold her. She shakes her head, "I'm fine."

"Drive her home first."

Troy says in a hoarse voice. After experiencing the initial loss of control, at this moment, he’s already calmer.

Karin doesn’t object. In fact, she has no courage to stay.

In desperation, she leaves the hospital and gets into Robert's car. She’s silent along the way.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine."

Seeing her feeling gloomy, Robert can't help but comfort her.

"Can the situation be better now? Mia is a so proud person. If she knows that she is disabled, how difficult it is for her to accept it."

"No matter how difficult it is to accept, if it becomes a fact, she has to accept it."

"Why is this happening? I really hate myself."

"Miss Karin, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself."

"How can it have nothing to do with me? If I stopped him from going out last night, there would be no such tragedy."

Robert sighs heavily, "None of us want such a thing to happen. Mr. Troy doesn't want it to happen the most. He has finally overcome all difficulties and canceled the marriage deal with Mia, but now that something like this has happened, the pain in his heart is definitely not that you and I can imagine. But what could he do? There is no if in life. It is impossible to start all over again. If everyone can foresee misfortune, there will be no tragedies."

The car stops at the destination. Karin gets out of the car. Robert hurries to the hospital again. Mia is still undergoing the operation. Everything is unclear.

Karin doesn’t open the door of the Ziteng Garden, but runs along the mountain road. Every time she’s in a bad mood, she likes to run. She runs one lap after another lap until she’s out of breath and until she’s exhausted.
