Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 143

"Giving you a chance means giving me a chance. I have to cherish my efforts."

Karin says finally. In fact, she doesn’t believe that he can find out the truth in a short time or she has expectation for their future.

Only those people who go through failures will give up hope for the future.

Someday, they will lose their hearts.

"I can assure you that you won’t lose unless I have to," Troy says.

"So, you still want to take revenge?" she asks him peacefully.

"Yes, I must do it unless I die," he replied.

She is unsatisfied with his answer. It makes him guilty. He says, "Karin, you have to understand that we can only be safe when the evil people are gone. I want to live a safe and happy life with you. Last time, it was lucky for you to be rescued when you were kidnapped. But we can’t be lucky every time. If the tragedy of ten years ago happens again, I can’t imagine what will happen to me."

"Fine, I understand."

She stands up and says, "To people who owns nothing, they don’t fear that they will lose."

She knows that she can’t change his mind. she stays because they love each other. If she bets, she might win and Troy is her boyfriend. If she doesn’t, he would be someone else’s boyfriend. The results of losing the bet and not betting are the same. Therefore, she doesn’t have a better choice.

If she leaves, she could preserve the dignity of love. However, dignity is meaningless compared with love.

She loves him as much as he loves her. He can’t leave her. No one knows that she can’t leave him either.

She may die if she lives without Troy.

She might be alive but unhappier than now.

Troy recovers. And he loves Karin more than ever.

But regardless of how much he loves her, she isn’t as happy as past. It can be indicated by that she talks less and smiles less. Moreover, most of the time, she sits somewhere quietly and stares at a place for several hours.

Her changes upset Troy. He applies a suspension of school for her so that she can have a good rest. But now, the situation becomes worse, which worries him.

He is worried that she would be ill.

Troy asks Robert to his office. He stands before the French windows and asks Robert, "Any progress?"

"The last clue was cut."

Robert is upset. As a special assistant for Troy, he is clearer than anyone what responsibility that he himself bears.

"Continue to examine it thoroughly. I can’t lose, you know."

"Yes!"

Troy sighs and says, "You can ask Billie to visit Karin. Karin has been silent these days."

"OK."

Robert goes out of the office with a sinking heart.

Billie recently does a part-time job in a department of Charlie Group. She thought she could get close to Robert if she works in Charlie Group. But Charlie Group is bigger that what she thinks. there are more than 20 departments here. She doesn’t have any chances to meet Robert.

Robert takes the elevator to the sixth floor. He finds Billie and asks her to get out for a while.

Billie is shocked. Is she dreaming? Robert finds her? Is it possible? It is impossible.

"Come here."

Billie has no reaction while he asks her to get out, so he urges her again. Only now Billie realizes what happens and follows him.

"Robert, why would you find me?"

She enters a meeting room with him, then she asks him surprisingly.

"It is about Karin?"

"What happens to her?"

Billie doesn’t know what happens to Karin, since Troy blocks the news about her recently. He only says she is ill and needs a rest. Billie tries to call Karin, but her phone is off.

Robert tells Billie what happens. However, she is furious and wants to argue with Troy, which is beyond his expectation.

"How dare he! He betrays Karin. I have to talk with him. If he leaves her, why did he find her?"

"Billie, please calm down and listen to me."

"I won’t. You are his employee, so you will defend him. I must help Karin. He promised me that he wouldn’t hurt her."

"Troy doesn’t hurt Karin. He loved her and he has his reasons. Could you listen to me?"

"I won’t. I say I won’t!"

"You must!"

Robert yells at her suddenly, which shocks her. She says, "Yes, please."

He tells her the difficulties and pressure that Troy is faced with. And then, he says, "As an old saying goes, onlookers see most of the game. Karin may not understand Troy’s difficulties because she is a victim. I hope you understand the complicated relationships involved as an onlooker."

"It is useless that I understand them. It should be Karin to understand."

"So, I find you."

"Me?" she frowns, "what can I do?"

"Troy hopes that you can go to Ziteng Garden to accompany her and help her."

Billie pauses for a moment and says, "Is it Troy’s decision or yours?"

"Is it different?"

"Sure, if it’s his decision, I won’t go. If it’s yours, I will."

Robert knows what she means. He feels awkward and says, "You can take it as my decision."

"What do you mean? If it’s your decision, then it’s yours. If not, it isn’t. What do you mean by saying that I can take it as your decision!"

"Why do you take it seriously?" He makes a compromise and says, "Fine, it’s my decision. I hope you can help me, Miss Billie."

"I will help you. But don’t call me Miss Billie. I don’t like it."

"What should I call you then?"

"Billie."

He nods and says, "Fine, when are you available? I can drive you there."

"3 p.m."

"OK."

Billie has been to Ziteng Garden for several times, so she is familiar with it. Robert picks her up and gives her a business card. "Here is my number. You can call me when you leave and I will pick you up," he says.

"OK." She receives the card excitingly. Finally, she is in touch with him.

"So, please take good care of Karin. And please don’t let me down."

"Take it easy. She is my best friend. I hope she can be happy."

Billie waves to him and then walks to Ziteng Garden.

Karin is sitting on a swing. As Robert says, she is totally different now because she isn’t energetic as usual.

"Karin."

Billie runs to her friends. looking at her thin face, Billie is upset.

"Why are you here?"

Being amazed, Karin raises her head.

"I hear what happens to you. Why not tell me? Am I not your friend?"

"It is useless. Even I can’t solve the problem."

"Follow me."

Billie takes her hand. They leave the Ziteng Garden, run on the road towards the mountain and finally arrive at the end of the road.

"Are we at the end of the road now?" Billie asks. Karin nods.

"Follow me."

Billie holds her hand and walk to the edge of the cliff. Then she begins to climb down the cliff.

"What are you doing? It is dangerous!"

"It’s OK, you can follow me."
