Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 255

"It's me, you're not blind, I'm Karin."

Karin reaches out to hug Yuma and bursts out crying. Everyone tends to be sentimental. Upon seeing familiar people and familiar things, Karin feels particularly upset in her heart, feeling that those years seem to have slipped away unknowingly and quietly.

"From the day you left, I thought you surely would come back. And it turns out that you indeed came back. I can see you again before closing my eyes. I have no regrets in this life."

"What are you talking about?"

She raises her head and carefully eyes the woman in front of her, only to find that Yuma is indeed aged. Half of her hair is gray. And there are many wrinkles on her face. Seeing her this way, Karin feels even more upset. She seems to see how the relentless time has engraved its exclusive marks on Yuma’s face one after another.

"By the way, did Mr. Troy know that you came back? He will be very happy if he knows. Over these five years, he has looked forward to your return all the time..."

"We've met and made up."

"Really?"

Yuma reveals a pleased smile as she can’t be more excited, "Great, God bless. At that time, I thought, if God did separate you and Mr. Troy, I would doubt whether God had gone blind or not. I have lived most of my life. And I have never seen people who love each other more than you do."

"It's true. We met in Edinburgh and later went to my home together. And my parents acknowledged our love."

Yuma asks carefully, "What about the child you… were carrying that year?"

After all, back then, because of that child, Karin and Troy broke up with each other.

"I gave birth to it early. It is a girl. And she is as cunning as her father."

The two of them laugh in unison. Seeing that it is already dark, Yuma hurriedly pulls her back into the living room, "Did you just come back today? Rest quickly. I'll cook something delicious for you."

"Well, yes. I came straight here after I got off the plane."

"So, you and Mr. Troy haven't met yet, right?"

"Yeah, not yet."

"Well..."

Yuma sighs heavily, "Mr. Troy has recently been haunted by some murder cases. And he is busy all day long. He used to come to the garden a few times a year. But this year so far, he has not come here once."

"Call him to come over for dinner." She pauses, "But don't tell him I'm here."

"Then he probably won't come here, okay?"

"Say so to him..."

Karin whispers a few words to Yuma. And Yuma nods, "Okay, I know."

She walks to the telephone and dials Troy's cell phone. A moment later, the other end is connected. Yuma says, "Is that Mr. Troy?"

"Yes."

"Can you come over and have dinner with me tonight? It is my birthday today. I feel so lonely by myself."

Troy is silent for a moment before replying, "Okay. I'll come over later."

Yuma has taken care of his mother as well as Karin. Because she has taken care of two people he loves. It is not excessive for her to make such a request. Over five years, she has been silently guarding the Ziteng Garden. And never does she have any complaints or dissatisfaction, let alone putting forward any greedy request. And she rarely makes a request tonight. In that case, however busy Troy is, he won’t refuse her.

At 7:30 p.m., he drives to the mountain. And Yuma has been waiting for him at the door as she says gratefully, "Thank you for honoring me, an old woman, Mr. Troy."

"Don't say that. You watched me grow up. Setting aside accompanying you to dinner, it is my duty and obligation to support you in your elder years and see you off after you decease."

"Ouch, your words overwhelms me. I can’t take it." Yuma waves her hands in a hurry, feeling moved and warm-hearted in secret.

"Happy birthday."

He hands a gift to Yuma and says guiltily while walking to the living room, "I'm so ashamed. You watched me grow up. But I don't even know your birth date.”

"In the past, I did not like to celebrate birthdays. Of course, you don’t know about it."

Troy enters the living room and takes off his jacket. Seeing that Yuma gets busy in the kitchen, he wants to go over to help her. Seeing the dishes all over the table, she smiles and says, "Can the two of us eat so much?"

"It's not just the two of us. There's someone else."

"Who?" He raises his eyebrows in confusion.

"You'll know later."

Yuma rolls her eyes, pretending to say casually, "I went upstairs today to clean the room and found something that Miss Karin cherished and liked back then."

Troy asks in amazement, "What is it?"

"You will know if you go up and take a look at it."

He is stunned. Then he turns around, goes out of the kitchen, and walks towards the second floor.

When he arrives at the bedroom, he pushes open the door and sees that somewhere on the bed, which has been empty for five years, a big brown bear is there again, which is the one taken away by Karin.

After a brief moment of surprise, he takes a quick step outside, intending to go to Yuma to ask for her clarification. However, as soon as he steps out of the door, a person suddenly pounces behind him, reaching out to hug his waist tightly.

He finds the body temperature and breath familiar. And the two of them are close together. Troy fiercely turns around and sees the woman standing in front of him. Then surprise shows up in his eyes. Unfortunately, it is just temporary. And the surprise is quickly replaced by condemnation.

He questions angrily, "Why are you here?"

"Aren't you glad to see me?"

"Yes, I am not happy. Didn't we agree that I would go pick you up after I solved the problem?"

"How long will it take? Is the problem solved now?"

Troy furrows his eyebrows, "Soon."

Karin says with certainty, "Don't hide it from me anymore. I already know your current situation. If I didn't know about it, I wouldn't have come here!"

"Who did you hear that from?"

"It doesn't matter who I heard it from. What matters is that since I'm here now, I have to face it with you."

"Idiot. Don't you know it's dangerous to stay by my side now? Come with me."

Troy pulls her arm and drags her out. And she struggles hard, "Where are you taking me?"

"To send you back."

She grunts indifferently, "You're out of your mind, right? What time is it? Where are you taking me back to?

He stops his pace and sighs softly, "Okay, then you can stay here for the night. And I'll take you to the airport early in the morning."

"I won't go back!"

Karin tilts her chin. Over the five years, she has changed a lot. However, she is still tough and stubborn, who is the same as she was at the beginning.

"Karin, don't be like this. Didn't we agree not to be worried about each other? It's dangerous for you to stay by my side. It's dangerous!"

"Why is it dangerous? Tell me about it."

"You could be kidnapped. You could be intimidated. And you could be falsely accused..."

"Then come on. I'm not afraid!"

"Or you may die..." He squeezes her shoulders, "Stop saying that you aren’t afraid. Even so, I am afraid. Your life is not yours alone."

"It doesn't matter if I die. My life is not mine alone. Likewise, your life isn’t yours alone. If you just send me back, then I will die of melancholy. Since I will die anyway, I would rather die by your side!"

Troy is shocked. He is shocked by her resolute courage and will. And he gazes at her deeply, reaches out to touch her face, and suddenly wonders what to say.

Karin's eyes are red. She jumped into his arms with her head against his chest, choking and saying, "I love you not only because of the way you look but also because of the way I look when I am with you. I love you not only because of what you do for me but also because of what I can do for you..."She pauses, sniffs, and continues, "Although I don’t know what I can do for you, I will love you in my way. No matter how late it is, I will be sitting under the lights and waiting for you to come back. Hearing you coughing, I will rush to reach out and touch your forehead. When the two of us are eating together, the table will be set with your favorite dishes. I want to make myself more beautiful. I hope I can be noticed by everyone. But I hope I can only be owned by you… This, this is the way I love you, the way Karin loves Troy."

Troy is touched. And his heart trembles sharply at that moment. Then he cups her face, kisses the tear marks at the corner of her eyes, and says hoarsely, "Good, stay… You fool. How on earth will you make me love you more? "
