Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 233

"Hasn't your mother brought you here before?"

Seeing her looking around with her big curious eyes, he guesses it should the first time for her to come here.

"Hmm, no, my mother says that British food is the most nutritious in the world, and she wants me to grow strong."

"But you don't seem to be very strong." One could even say she's thin.

"Because I'm not very healthy, what my mother most afraid of is me being sick. Every time I get sick, she could hardly eat or sleep."

Troy feels bitter in his heart suddenly.

After ordering a table of food, he eats with Esme. Halfway through the meal, he asks meaningfully, "Do you hate me?"

"I used to."

"What about now?"

"Not anymore."

"Why?"

"Because you always show up when I am hungry."

"Hehe," Troy can't help but chuckle. There is no denying that this is a very cute and honest child.

"But I feel sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I feel very sorry for my mother. My mother likes me so much, but I like people that my mother doesn't like. William, and you."

Esme rested her cheeks in her hands, "It's really distressing..."

"Actually, your mother doesn't hate me all the time, she used to like me..."

"Really? Have you known each other for a long time?"

"Well, you weren't born yet when we met."

"Really? Then do you know who my father is?"

Troy is suddenly silent, facing Esme's expectant gaze, he puts a lot of efforts and says with difficulty, "I don't know..."

Esme gets gloomy immediately, droops her head and mutters, "It seems that only my mother knows, but I dare not ask."

"Do you really want to know who your father is?"

"Yup."

"Why do you want to know?"

"My grandpa and grandma don't want my mother anymore. I want to find my father and ask him why he doesn't want her either..."

Troy's eyes suddenly redden, and he feels as if his heart is being pressed by a large stone, which is so heavy that makes him unable to breathe.

"Last time my mother took me to my grandmother's house, I was really happy, but I didn't expect to see them quarrel later. My grandparents drove my mother out. It rained a lot that night, and my mother hugged me, kneeling outside grandma's house, but they just wouldn't open the door. Later, William came and took my mother and me away..."

Although Esme doesn't say why specifically, Troy knows it well. His gaze is drawn out of the window, far, far away.

Out of the restaurant, he takes Esme's hand and says, "Is there anything you want? I will buy it for you."

"Actually, I just wanted to say that food here is really delicious, can I have a takeaway for my mother..."

Troy smiles bitterly, "Your mother won't eat it. She won't eat what I buy her."

Thinking of her stubbornness, he feels more bitter in his heart.

"Okay then, let's go home. My mom should be worried when she comes back and can't find me."

"Don't you want anything as a gift?"

"Yes, but rather than being thrown into the trash can, I would rather let it lie in the store."

Esme sighs sullenly. If her mother knows she accepts a gift from a bad guy, she will come to a terrible end...

Troy nods sadly, "Then get in the car and I will take you home."

While driving, he finds that Esme has been twisting ,looking uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" He asks with concern.

"I feel itchy."

"Why?"

He pulls over, unfastens her seat belt, and asks, "Where?"

"My neck feels most itchy..."

Troy asks her to raise her chin, pulls her collar down, and sees a red bump on her neck, and asks, "Are you allergic to something?"

"I don't know..."

He takes a closer look, and accidentally sees a familiar jewelry hanging around Esme's neck. When he pulls it out, he gets stiff. It is actually Heart-Lock necklace he gave to Karin back then.

Esme sees him staring at her necklace and falls into deep thought, and says firmly, "It's not caused by this. I have been wearing this necklace since I was born."

He recovers, puts the necklace back into her clothes, starts the engine suddenly, and drives to a hospital nearby.

When the kid is undergoing the examination, he is standing in front of the window in the corridor, staring at the nightscape outside the window, with his heart hurting.

There are things that, even if you don't deliberately try to know about them, they will naturally reveal the truth.

A doctor comes out and is about to speak, but he interrupts, "Is she allergic to salad dressing?"

The doctor is startled and nods, "Yes, since you know it, why didn't you be careful?"

Troy doesn't speak for a long while. There is something in his chest that is falling, and with a bang, it drops into the abyss.

At first, he is just skeptical, now he is completely sure, even though he hasn't done the DNA test.

Because he himself is also allergic to salad dressing.

"She is put on a drip. Go take a look."

The doctor shakes his head and leaves while sighing. Troy stays there, unable to move for a long time, not because he doesn't want to see the kid, but because he is too sorry for her.

For five years, what has he been missing...

The leak of the Hankseuk's design drawings causes chaos in the company. Karin receives a call from William at night and goes back to the company to check the emergency billing. After finishing her work, she hurries back home.

When she gets home, she finds that Esme is missing again. She looks around inside and outside the house. Her first reaction is to find Troy on the ninth floor. After ringing the doorbell for a long time without answering, she panics, takes out her phone and dials out. It is the number she saved five years ago, but she hasn't dialed it once in the past five years.

At this moment, if it were not for the last resort, she would never call Troy.

"Hello?"

His low voice, although they met two days ago, and even had a physical love, sounds like it is coming from over the horizon. How long has it been since they last spoke on the phone?

"Is my daughter taken away by you again?"

She asks coldly, not difficult to sense that her tone is quite angry.

"At the Children's Hospital, she has an allergy."

As soon as Troy finishes speaking, Karin hangs up and hurries over.

When she arrives at the hospital, even though she has reminded herself not to overreact along the way, when she sees Troy, she can't control her emotions, and shouts hysterically, "What do you want to do? Why do you always approach my daughter?"

Esme lying on the bed is startled. Although she is guilty of not listening to her mother, she doesn't regret eating with the bad uncle. She points to the saline bottle meekly, "Mom, it's running out."

Karin glares resentfully at the man in front of her, then turns around and calls the nurse to put out the needle for her daughter. She puts on the shoes for Esme and walks out of the ward. Although there are many things that she wants to question Troy, in front of her daughter, she holds back.
