Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 208

Troy doesn’t answer her question and drags her into the hospital.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Karin asks in fear.

Staying silent, he holds her hands tighter.

When she finds the sign of gynecology, she’s shocked and holds the door frame, not going ahead.

“Do you want me to have an induced abortion?”

Her fear has been replaced by shock.

Troy finally answers her question, yet ruthless, “Yes.”

Karin is downright shocked and dumbfounded…

“How can you do this to me? It can be your baby.”

She asks bitterly with her trembling body as she never imagines that Troy will take her to have an induced abortion.

“Can be? You’re no t sure, either. I’d rather kill it than leave a proof of your betrayal for myself.”

Karin cries in tears, “Why can’t you believe me?”

“If I didn’t believe you, I wouldn’t forgive you. However, my tolerance is limited. I can’t allow you to deliver another man’s baby. If so, it would become a thorn in the flesh, which would hinder the happiness of our married life. We can have our own baby again.”

“Is it the only way to solve the problem? We can make a DNA test after the baby is born.”

Troy sneers, “What if it’s not my baby?”

That’s the worst scenario. She looks down at the floor. “Then I’ll leave you with the baby.”

“What about me?”

Troy looks heart-broken. “How can I spend the next months? Should we get married? Then get divorced? You can walk away with the baby, but what about me?”

Karin feels bitter, too. For a split second, she thinks of breaking up with him, but she doesn’t want to hurt him more. She promised him if he doesn’t give up on her, she won’t leave him.

“Troie, it’s just an innocent baby. Please don’t kill it.”

Troy looks into her eyes bitterly. “Why can’t you let go of it?”

“What if I insist that I should deliver it?”

“You’ going to lose me.”

Karin closes her eyes as tears trickles down her cheeks. She angrily shakes off his hands and runs out of the hospital.

Why does the destiny do this to her? Has she done anything wrong?”

She stands alone in front of the French windows in the dark night, upset and confused.

The door is pushed open, and the familiar footsteps are sounded. She can feel the cold without looking at the man.

“You have one week to consider about it. If you choose to deliver the baby, you know what you’re going to lose.”

After Troy says huskily, he is about to leave when Karin suddenly questions him, “Do you have to do this to me?”

“What hurts you also hurts me. I wonder if you really love me. If you choose it over me, then I’m not Troy Charlie you know anymore.”

She crouches down on the floor after he leaves. Her tears run out of her eyes.

On the third day, Billie is engaged with Robert. Karin decides to attend her engagement party.

When she arrives at the hotel to hold the party, Billie holds her hands with confusion. “What are you doing here?”

“You’re my best friend, and I want to attend your engagement party.”

Billie shakes her head. “But…”

Karin knows her worries and gives her a bitter smile, “I don’t envy you, or I wouldn’t have tipped Robert off when you left.”

“I don’t mean it. I…”

“Okay. I understand you.”

She hugs her best friend. “I’m really happy for you.”

Robert comes forward and says, “Troy doesn’t show up…”

Karin says, “I know. I’m the last person he wants to see in the world.”

“No. He wants to meet you, but he’ll feel heart-broken.”

Billie adds, “Yes. He’s missed you so bad.”

“Anyway, I’m here to wish you a happy engagement.”

Karin puts Billie’s hands into Robert’s. “Hope you can hold on to each other like this forever.”

“Thanks.”

Billie is almost crying in tears.

“I’ll leave you to have a small talk here.”

Karin flashes a smile at them and leaves.

Then Billie reprimands Robert, “Did you asks her to attend our party?”

“Yep.”

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know she’s sad right now? She’ll be hurt by an engagement party.”

“But you’re best friends. She’d like to attend the party.”

“Why didn’t you ask your best friend, Troy, to attend the party?”

“I did, but he rejected.”

Robert rubs his forehead and sighs, “Maybe he’s not a good friend as Karin is…”

“Nonsense!”

Robert’s family isn’t filthy rich, though, his family have worked for the Charlie family for several generations. Therefore, his engagement party is grand, and the guests are from the high-society.

Karin feels bit of happy as she sees Roberts happily hold Billie’s hand.

“Let’s welcome their parents to speak.”

Billie’s parents first speak. It’s the first time Karin has seen Billie’s parents, who are nice and easy-going.

“I only want to attend my child’s wedding ceremony, but my wife wants to see every moment of her happiness, so here we are. I’m relieved to see my child’s happy smiles today. Thanks to my son-in-law for loving my daughter for the whole life. I wish them a happy marriage…”

Karin applauds with tears in her eyes. It’s also her dream to see her father say things like that.

Billie looks at her best friend in the crowd. She feels guilty as if she’s showing off in the face of her best friend.
