Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 284

Karin takes a deep breath and looks askance at the front. All of a sudden, she finds that in some shady place, a shadow is silently looking at her. Then she feels her heart shudder. Although they are far away from each other, they seem to be closely attached. She lifts her legs to chase up. Seeing her chase over, the shadow quickly turns around and disappears into the vast night...

Seeing Karin desperately running forward, Robert shouts in puzzlement, "Mrs. Karin, where are you going?"

"Karin, come bacK Why are you running?"

"Chase her quickly."

At once, on a shady street, they seem to be playing a game of a cat catching a mouse. Karin runs after the shadow. While Robert and Billie chase Karin.

It is unknown how long Karin has been running. Karin looks ahead at the empty road, pants, and stops. Robert and Billie also catch up with her, anxiously asking, "What on earth happened? Why are you running for no reason?"

"I saw him."

"Him? Who is it?"

Billie opens her eyes wide in confusion.

"Troy."

"Impossible… Impossible...."

Billie waves her hand, "He has lost his memory. How could he appear here in the middle of the night? It has to be your illusion."

Robert falls into deep thought. At first, he also thought it was impossible. However, judging from all the signs now, only Troy is capable as well as justifiable to help them in secret.

He mutters to himself, "It probably is indeed him."

Karin looks around blankly and says with certainty, "I will surely find a way to verify the suspicions in my mind."

By the time Robert and Billie send her back to Ziteng Garden, it has been past 2 a.m. After going through a dangerous situation in the first half of the night, Karin surely can’t go to sleep again. Her mind is in turmoil. She thinks about Gloria who was used as a tool to frame her and unjustly killed as well as the person who is hiding in the dark to help and protect her. There are too many doubts in her mind. If that person is Troy, why did he do this? Does he have any unspeakable secrets which even she isn’t allowed to know...

Sitting alone until dawn, she finally thinks of a way to verify whether Troy indeed has amnesia.

The next day, she goes to the Kim family. According to the maid of the Kim family, Molly hasn’t returned yet. So she leaves word that if Molly has returned, they have to give her a call to inform her.

After waiting patiently for three days, she receives a call from Molly at sunset dusk one evening.

Molly asks directly, "Hello? What do you want from me?"

"You're back in Zurich, right?"

"Yes."

Karin announces solemnly, "I want to see Troy." Her tone is a strong one that can’t be denied.

After a short silence, Molly says, "Regarding his memory, it is still..."

"Whether his memory is restored or not, I have to see him today!"

She reminds Molly appropriately, "The reason why I left him to you is that you can take care of him rather than leave him in your possession. So please bring him to me."

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the beach where we met last time."

"Good."

Hanging up the phone, Karin immediately goes to her destination. If she has to use extreme methods to prove that her intuition isn’t a delusion, then she is willing to turn to the most extreme way and give it a try.

Standing on the beach, she looks into the distance, only to see a piece of whiteness and the sea and the sky merge as one so that the water and the sky can’t be told apart. As the saying goes, As the fog and the mountain entwine with each other, the sky and the end of the water merge. Under the delicate sunlight, the distant seawater is like a piece of fish scales spreading on the surface of the water as well as a naughty child constantly jumping on the water. "Clatter!... Clatter..." As a row of waves hit the shore, wonderful sounds ring one after another.

After Karin has been waiting there for 15 minutes, a car drives over slowly. Molly gets out of the car first. And Karin is staring at the door closely, waiting for the person she's been waiting for to appear as soon as possible.

Troy stays in the car for three minutes before he gets out. The moment they look into each other’s eyes, there isn’t longing and surprise Karin expects but the usual indifference in his eyes.

The two of them come towards her. And Molly is the first to ask, "What do you want from us?"

"I'm looking for him rather than you. So you can go."

When Karin says this, she keeps staring at Troy attentively. She is convinced that as long as she keeps looking at him like this, she surely can see into his heart.

Stunned Molly nods, "Okay, then I'll go to the car first and wait there."

"You should leave here first. I don't want to be watched by others when I talk to him."

Molly asks Troy, "Is that okay?"

And he shakes his head, "No."

Molly shrugs her shoulders, meaning that Troy won't let her go.

Karin takes a deep breath and says, "Give me half an hour. I won't look for you again in the future. If not, I will keep pestering you."

"Are you threatening me?"

"I am threatening you."

She raises her chin stubbornly, "If you don't want to be pestered by me, then let her go first. And I will naturally let you go after I finish what I have to say."

Troy nods helplessly to Molly, "Okay. Then you can go first."

Molly meaningfully skims Karin, says nothing, and turns around to sit back in the car, leaving them alone...

All of a sudden, only Karin and Troy are on the wide seashore. As the sea breeze whistles, the waves hit against the coast more fiercely.

In this endless sea, infinite power seems to be contained inside.

"Have you indeed lost your memory?"

As she asks leisurely, she stares at his face and then at his front with profound loss flowing from her eyes.

"Yes."

She asks again, "Is it true that you have lost your memory?"

He answers clearly, "Yes."

"I'll ask you so last time." Karin turns her head, "Is it true that you have lost your memory?"

Troy looks straight into her eyes and answers word for word, "Yes. Do you want to continue asking me so?"

"No. I said I was asking you so for the last time."

"Then can I go?"

She smiles mockingly, "Now you are like this sea which is complex and unpredictable inside. However hard I want to understand you deeply, you refuse to give me even a little chance. In that case, I can only take the initiative to fight for myself."

"Fighting for what?"

"Opportunity."

Troy sighs slightly, "I said I didn't know you. So..."

Before he can finish his sentence, he is interrupted by her, "Whether you recognize me or not, it won’t affect what I am going to say next."

Karin grabs his arm and says with teary eyes, "I found Grandpa. He turned out to be Dad's friend, the one you wanted to turn to for help before the accident."

"It has nothing to do with me." He shakes off her hand.

"When I found out that he was the one who failed my grandmother all her life, I refused his help without any hesitation. But Robert told me to hold myself back. And he said that I should be willing to give up everything for you. Because of his words, it was simply because of his words that I held myself back. So I accepted his help. The moment the contract was signed successfully, I had only one thought in my mind, that is, for you, I indeed can give up everything, including my dignity, pride, and my guts. Even though it is someone I hate to the bone..."

"I have no idea what you're talking about. So I don't feel grateful to you at all."

Troy takes a few steps forward, deliberately keeping a distance from her.

"Mia's mother died. And I almost became the murderer. You know about this matter, right?"

"How could I possibly know?"

Karin stares at his back. Suddenly, she goes forward and hugs him tightly as she presses her face tightly against his back, saying sadly, "Do you indeed have no idea about it? Could it be that you won’t think in your heart that never will you let anything happen to me?"

"I won’t."

Troy plucks away her hand, turns his head, and calmly asks, "How many more times do I have to say it? I don't know you."

Karin's heart is stung hard. The way she sees it, there is nothing crueler in this world than hearing the person you love so much say to you that he doesn't know you.

She weeps and suddenly walks briskly to the left. Walking to several large reefs, she stumbles and climbs onto them under the watchful eyes of Troy.

He asks, looking puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"For me, the meaning of living lies in Troy only. So if he forgets about me, then there is no meaning for me to live on. I will let the sea end my meaningless life."

"Don't be impulsive. Even though I don't remember you now, it doesn't mean I will always forget you in the future. I'm already trying."

He tries to stop her from doing something foolish as there is a flash of worry in his gaze. However, the worry shows up too briefly. And Karin standing on the reef doesn’t notice it.

"I can't wait any longer. If I wait any longer, I'll die in the end as well. It is just that I will die differently. Compared with missing him or being depressed, I'd rather die in this vast sea and let my soul retrieve the lost memories for you."
