Capture Your Heart

Chapter 139 Dagger Stabs into His Chest 2

…

William knocks at the door and says, "Karin, here are clothes."

She opens the door a little and reaches out to take it. The clothes are new and the trademark has not been torn off.

Karin turns off the faucet, dries her body with a towel, puts on dry clothes and walks out of the bathroom. William is smoking in the living room.

She sits across from him and says softly, "Thank you." The clothes are very suitable, and not short at all. She is grateful for his care.

"You're welcome. I'll make you a cup of ginger tea."

William pinches out the cigarette and is about get up. She shakes her head, "No, I don't want to drink it."

"Drink it or catch a cold. No matter how unhappy you are, you should take care of yourself."

When he enters the kitchen, Karin hears the sound of slicing ginger from the kitchen. Then she looks at his home carefully. There are two rooms and two halls. Although it is not as luxurious as the villa, but it is very clean and warm. There are landscape paintings on the wall and the chandelier on the top exudes an ocean-like light. Although the furniture is not much, it is neatly arranged. Obviously, he is a man with a regular life.

"Drink it?"

William is faster than she thinks. Looking at the warm ginger tea in his hand, she takes it and nods calmly, "Thank you."

"Can't you tell me anything other than thank you tonight?"

"What do you want to hear from me?"

Karin drinks the ginger tea in the glass. William should have put a lot of brown sugar in it, but it is still indescribably bitter.

"What happened to you and Troy?"

"He is getting married, with Mia."

William doesn't feel very surprised. Seeing his calm expression, she laughs to herself, "Aren't you surprised? Did you already know it, or did you expect it?"

"Neither, but the moment I met you on the road, I already guessed it."

Staring at her sullen and haggard expression, he says confidently, "With your feelings for Troy, if there is not a serious problem, you will definitely not be desperate. I heard you talk about Mia before, so it’s not weird."

"Do you think I am embarrassed?"

"No, people who cry because of true love will not be embarrassed."

"True love…"

Her tears roll in her eyes, "There is no lies and betrayal in true love. True love is one person loving another person wholeheartedly. They will get older together. It is not to say love to a woman but marry another woman."

William stretches out his hand, pats her shoulder, and says earnestly, "Have you heard the story of wood and fire? A piece of wood said to the fire, ‘Hold me!’ The fire embraced the wood, and the wood

turned into ashes in the smile. The fire cried, and the tears extinguished itself... You are a silly wood, and Troy is a pile of fire. You and him should never fall in love. But you still love each other without turning back. Therefore, the wood is destined to be burned, and the fire is destined to lose itself because of the lack of wood."

"So, we are destined to have bad ending, right?"

"Regardless of how the ending is, the most important is you have loved each other."

"You are wrong."

Karin looks at him with teary eyes, "People who once really loved someone would never be attracted by others. William, have you ever loved anyone seriously? Do you know the feeling of being in the heaven but suddenly falling into hell? People who really love someone don’t care the proceeding but the result. If love is devoting myself to a love and ending up with a heartbreak, then I’d rather never love."

William is startled, "Do you really love him so much? Can't you live without him?"

"You have no way to understand how I feel."

She lowers her head and tears fall down her cheeks. Thinking of her grandmother sitting alone in front of the small window, thinking of her mother's sadness, thinking of her father who has refused to forgive her until now, and thinking of Troy and Mia are going to enter the wedding hall, she really loses the courage to live.

The heart hurts more and more, and the tears flow more and more. Maybe it is not Troy's betrayal that she can't bear, but that she can't bear to lose like this.

"Don't cry."

William squats in front of her, stretches out his hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, frowning tightly.

"Please go to rest and leave me alone."

She turns her head away, her tears still flood. She never thinks she can face the lover's betrayal calmly. She has never thought that there would be such a day.

"How could I bear to leave you alone? Unless you stop crying, I will always be here with you."

Karin looks at his firm expression, sniffs her nose, wipes the tears from her eyes. She chokes and says, "William, thank you, thank you so much. Thank you for always staying with me when I am sad. I won’t cry. So, go to sleep."

"Really?"

"Really, I won't cry anymore, I really won't."

Stop crying, but tears fall involuntarily. William sighs, presses her shoulder and says, "When the tears are about to flow out, open your eyes and don't blink. You will see the whole process of the world changing from clarity to blur. Then your mind will become clear at the moment your tears fall."

"OK!"

She nods hard, opens her eyes desperately without blinking. Her sight is soon blurred, but the moment the tears fall, her mind does not become clear. She thinks maybe her mind is too cloudy.

Therefore, William's method is useless to her.

"Don't think so much, go to sleep."

"You go to bed first. I want to sit here quietly."

William has only to agree, "Well then, promise me, stop crying."

"Yep."

"If I hear you crying, I will sacrifice my sleep to accompany you. You don’t want to wake me up, right?"

"No."

"That's good. Good night."

William smiles cordially at her, turns and goes to the bedroom. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Lying on the bed with the door closed, he cannot fall asleep. With his eyes closed, his mind is full of Karin's tears. William sits up and smokes. His look becomes complicated and unpredictable.

He gets up and opens the door quietly. He sees her in the distance. She curls up in the corner of the sofa, with her two arms hugging her legs tightly. Her face buries in the middle of her legs, and the tears on her face are clearly visible.

She is still crying. He wants to walk over to comfort her, but he hesitates. Finally, he doesn't come to her. Maybe now, what she needs is not comfort, but to be alone.

When he returns to the bedroom, William becomes a little irritated. He smokes one cigarette after another. The big room is full of strong smell of smoke. On the coffee table beside the bed, he throws a thick pile of cigarette butts.

This night, she doesn't sleep, nor does he sleep. He walks to the door and stares at her for a while every two hours.

He has never seen a girl who can cry like this. She keeps crying all night without making a sound, just silently, silently, dripping the tears on the back of her hand.

There is a beating knock on the door at dawn. William walks over to open the door calmly. He sees the person standing outside the door with a slightly surprised expression, but he quickly recovers his composure.

"Mr. Troy."

"Is she here?"

Troy glances at him sternly, then moves his gaze to the living room. When he sees the person sitting on the sofa, he enters the room and stands in front of Karin.

Karin raises her head slowly. When she sees the person in front of her, she jumps up suddenly, "What are you doing here?"

"Karin, go back with me."

"I won't go back with you! Who are you? You are already going to marry someone else, why should I go back with you!"

She hides behind William, begging, "Drive him away. I don't want to see him. I don't want to see him at all."

Troy frowns when he sees the lover who used to be with him treats him like a stranger.
