Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 199

"Get out!"

"No, I won’t leave you!"

Troy angrily dashes a bottle of wine down to the floor. The sharp, loud sounds is so frightening that Karin is stunned there for a long time. The floor is covered with pieces of broken glass and the air is filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

"You're crazy, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm crazy, you're the one who makes me crazy..."

Troy bends down and grabs a handful of broken glass and shows it to her, "See, these are the things you rub into my heart." He clenches his fist tightly, and those broken glass quickly pierces into his hand, oozing his blood, drop by drop, dripping under the floor and into Karin's heart.

"Loose you hand!"

With tears streaming down, she is trying hard to open his fist, but his strength is much greater than hers, the more she tries to release his fist, the tighter his grip becomes, and the more she wants to help him, the more blood oozes from his hand...

In the end, to keep him from bleeding more, she gives up, "Okay, I'll go now."

She runs out of the house, and squats down where she has squatted last night, desperately covering her mouth to keep from crying, but her tears flows uncontrollably.

The door is closed again. In the past, Karin might not have been persistent like this, but now, she doesn’t want to give up, not that she doesn’t want to give up, but she could not give up. Because once she gives up, her relationship with Troy will definitely over too.

Late at night, she stands at the door in front of her and resists the urge to ring the doorbell. She knows that even if she rings the doorbell all night, Troy would not open the door for her, but she is really worried about his hand, the broken glass has pierced into his meat, just like it has pierced into her heart. It hurts so much that she could hardly breathe.

She tries to open the door herself and is surprised to find the door unlocked, and wipes the tears from her eyes and slides into the house quietly. The house is so big and so dark that she even could not see her fingers, but the smell of alcohol is still very strong. She walks along the wall carefully and steps forward to find the switch.

The light is switched on and the room is suddenly bright. Her eyes are fixed on the unconscious man on the sofa and she rushes forward to take him into her arms.

Troy is obviously drunk and totally unconscious, allowing her to hug him and cry wildly. She cries so sad and so loud that wets the whole shirt on his chest.

Karin cries for a while before she suddenly remembers something and hurriedly grabs his hand. The tears that have stopped just now come out again, which signifies the unspeakable heartbreaking of her. She looks at his hand mixed with glass and blood and flesh. His blood is everywhere, on the floor, on the sofa, and of course on his hand.

Karin stands up and puts Troy down on the sofa, then runs to the bedroom to find a blanket to cover him, and silently cleans up the broken glass and blood stains on the floor. She doesn’t stop for a moment, even though, she hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for two days.

She opens the door and runs out, running around the island for twenty minutes before she finally finds an all-day open pharmacy store where she buys some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicine. She then rushes back to the villa.

Sitting on the floor, she carefully picks out the broken glass from Troy's palm, puts on the anti-inflammatory medicine and bandages his hand. It takes two hours for her to clean his wound and it is almost dawn before she finally finishes it.

After doing all this, she tiredly leans against him and falls asleep. She is so tired, so tired...

When she wakes up, it is already bright outside, but Troy is still sleeping. Karin opens all the windows to let the sunshine in, and the house finally looks somewhat like a place that human live in.

She walks over to the sofa and sees that Troy's face is pale and his forehead is filled with sweats. When she reaches out to touch it, it is scarily hot. What she concerns about most is that he may get infections. And the more she is concerned about it, the more likely it happens.

She takes out of her phone to call Robert to send a doctor here. An hour later, Robert comes with a doctor. The two of them carry Troy into the bedroom and put him on the bed. The doctor examines the wound on Troy's hand and puts him on a drip and prescribes some medicine.

Robert doesn't ask her why his hand is injured. He is quite clear why this will happen that he even doesn’t need to ask. He is just very confused and distressed, how come two people who are obviously very much in love will end up like this?

"Miss Karin, I'll send the doctor back first and come to pick you and Mr. Troy up later."

"No need, he may want to stay here for a while..."

Robert nods, "That's fine, call me if you need any help."

After sending the two away, Karin returns to the bedroom and sits beside Troy's bed, touching his face and murmuring, "Troy Honey, please don't torture yourself anymore, I hope you will get well soon, as long as you're safe and happy, I'll do whatever I can for you..."

"How much courage I've gathered in order not to lie to you, I know your heart hurts, so does mine, if I don't tell you the truth, I really can't live anymore..."

"I am the one who even could swallow everything without any complains, how come I am wrong to be true to you? I just want to live out my life with you in peace and happiness, is it just because you're not an ordinary person that I have to go through all these things with you?"

Karin sadly falls on his chest, holding his hand tightly, with her tears once again wetting his shirt.

She couldn't give up, she couldn't fall down, even if she is tired and wretched, she has to be strong. She gets up and runs to the nearby supermarket and buys a lot of food and makes a sumptuous dinner for herself, forcing herself to eat it all even if she has no appetite at all.

There is still a long way ahead, and she may cry a lot in the future, but she must go on, she must not stop.

Troy stays asleep for a whole day. His intravenous drip is finished and his fever is gone as well. But he is still under a coma. Karin runs out of her ways but only has to grind the pills into powder and feed him with her mouth. She feeds him one bite, her tears come out a drop. She couldn't tell if the man is in a coma because he is sick, or because he is drunk, or because he is heartbroken.

In short, it seems like he doesn't want to wake up, doesn't want to wake up to face the cruel reality that he has to face.

Not long after the medicine is administered, and maybe because of Karin's prays, Troy miraculously wakes up, only when he opens his eyes, all she could see in his eyes is indifference, he is so cold like an ice on a cold day, cold enough to freeze a person to death.

"Get out."

The first words out of his mouth are to drive her away. Karin has expected this earlier, but now that she hears it in reality, she could not hide her broken heart.

"Troy, even if I am a murderer, I would have the right to defend myself, how come you are so cruel that you don’t even give me any chance to explain myself?"

"You don't need to explain anything because you know exactly what I think, and I have given you the answer after you told me what happened to the other woman."

"Yes, you says you wouldn't forgive me, but you also says that it wasn’t necessarily unforgivable if there was an understandable truth."

"Are you trying to say that you are set up?"

"Yes."

"Who set you up to go into the bar and drink? And who set you up to drink with William? Don't you have any sense of self-protection?"

"It's my fault, but that night, I really felt too bad, maybe you think I'm not related to Jacob by blood, there's no need to be so sad, but you should know clearly that I'm a person who values love and righteousness, even if there's no blood relationship, I'll still be sad, I can't say that Jacob's death has nothing to do with me at all, it's because it has something to do with me that causes such a situation today. But it won’t happen again, I will never save anyone again, I swear to God today that I will never again be a woman of justice as long as I live."

She saves her dignity at the expense of her happiness, or even her whole life. If she hasn’t been righteous back then, she wouldn't have met Troy, and wouldn’t have to desperately save their relationship today, and wouldn’t have to grit her teeth and say it doesn't hurt even though her heart is broken already; if she hasn't saved Jacob, she wouldn't have given others the chance to take advantage of the situation to set her up. There is a lot of people in the world that are in need of help, and they won’t all be saved just because there is a good and righteous girl like her living in the world.

"Don't you think it's too late to acknowledge your mistake now? How many times have I told you not to get involved with William, but you just don't listen. Do you dare to say that William doesn't do this on purpose?"

"This matter has nothing to do with him, it's someone else."

"Do you still want to defend for him now?

Troy couldn’t resist his anger anymore, he angrily grabs Karin's arm and pulls her out from the living room to the outside of the villa, he grinds his teeth and says, "Before I can still control my anger, disappear from my sight immediately, otherwise I don't know what I will do to you!"

He turns around, but Karin stubbornly hugs his waist from behind, "I'm not afraid, even if you do strangle me to death, I'm not afraid..."

His back has never been so cold and hard, like a strong and tall wall separating the two apart.

"I'm sorry, I really don't want to break your heart, hurting you is the same as hurting myself, these days, the pain I endured in my heart is beyond your imagination, I don't want to lose you, but also I don't want to deceive you either, that kind of ambivalence is so painful that even smothers me to death. I also has the thought to leave you, but I failed due to my oath of staying with you forever. I am begging you, don't give up on me, okay..."

Karin throws away the last of her pride and dignity and cries out at the top of her voice, her heart-rending sobs stings Troy's cold heart, where blood begins to flow again, drop after drop...
