Capture Your Heart

Chapter 254 I Would Rather Die Beside You 3

Karin feels that her heart is in pain and says with certainty, "No, it certainly can be achieved. You and Robert are still young. And now the medical treatment is so advanced. Any difficult disease can be cured. Now the most important thing for you is to get well. As for the rest, you don’t have to think about them."

Billie smiles sarcastically, "Forget it, I have given up. And I can no longer withstand any toss and blow. If I experience the same blow again, I definitely will break down..."

"Do you give up? What about your in-laws? Won't they blame you?"

Karin met Robert's parents. But she never knew them. So she doesn’t know what kind of people they are. However, a daughter-in-law who can’t have children surely won’t be favored.

"My in-laws suggested that I adopt a child. They are good people. And they treat me well."

"Really?"

Karin is quite surprised. As she is sad about her best friend's situation, suddenly, she is relieved to hear her say so.

"Really."

Billie pauses for a moment, "I haven't contacted you for the past few years. You're not angry with me, are you?"

"Why would I? I know you have a worse life than me. I can't wait to feel sorry for you. How come I will be angry with you."

"You're always so understanding. By the way, are you still in touch with Troy?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Then did he tell you about his current situation?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Karin is shocked in secret, "What's wrong with his situation?"

"It seems that he didn’t tell you. Forget it. It is nothing."

Karin is already suspicious. Although Billie says so, Karin surely isn’t convinced, "Billie, don’t hide it from me. Say it quickly!"

"He probably doesn’t want you to worry about him..."

"Do you think now I can be carefree now?"

Billie sighs gloomily and says, "Troy is now in a very difficult position. He is sort of being surrounded by enemies. Regarding his uncle's death, a lot of evidence of it is against him. Moreover, surprisingly, even Jacob's death five years ago is related to him. I wonder who reported it to the police, providing some relevant evidence to them. Before Jacob died, there was a woman named Eira Byrne. It is said she was also killed by Troy. Within half a month, he has been suspected to have taken away three lives..."

“Bang!” Before Billie can finish her words, Karin feels that her legs go limp and sit on the ground. And her face suddenly turns pale. She looks like a lost soul. An urgent call rings on the cell phone in her hand, "Karin, are you still there? Are you still there..."

That day, it is unknown how Karin has been home. that day, she cries outside for a long time before going home.

When she arrives home, she forces a smile so that her daughter won’t see anything wrong. After eating dinner and putting Esme to bed, she goes to her parents' room.

"Mom, Dad, I want to tell you something."

She is in tears before she can speak further. And before she can say anything, her tears flow unstoppably.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her daughter crying so sadly all of a sudden, Jane feels that her heart has been torn to pieces.

Mike asks nervously, "Did something happen to Troy?"

Both of them know clearly that if something hadn't happened to their Troy, Karin wouldn't be crying so sadly.

"Yes! So I have to rush to Zurich as soon as possible."

"What exactly happened?"

"He was framed. And now there are three murder charges that he can't get away with."

Karin recounts what had happened in Zurich before in a concise manner. And after hearing her words, Mike and Jane fall into deep thought.

"Mom, Dad, can you help me take care of Esme?"

She falls to her knees in front of her parents at once. Thinking of Troy's current situation, she feels like she is going to be torn apart with tears flowing from her eyes and blood dripping from her heart.

"We are okay with taking care of Esme. But if the situation is indeed as complicated and sinister as you say, what can you solve if you go there? You can't help him at all."

"Even if I can't do anything for him, I have to stay by his side. I just need to stay by his side. You have no idea how many people want his life. Only if I stay by his side will he know how important he is. Only then will he always think about protecting himself. If he needs the motivation to survive against all odds, then I am the biggest motivation in his heart ."

Karin cries more and more sadly. And she grabs her parents' hands and says, "So, you guys let me go. Knowing his current situation, I can't continue to wait here. Even if we don't have a wedding ceremony yet, we have already seen each other for the other half of our lives. In front of my grandmother's grave, I also made a vow that no matter how much difficulty and pain there is in this life, I will follow him unconditionally. If he was killed, then I surely wouldn’t live alone in the world..."

Mike closes his eyes in pain. Quite a while later, he takes a stand, "Okay, you should go. Don't worry about Esme. We will take care of her. Go. This time, you should be by his side."

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom..."

Karin jumps into her mother's arms and cries sadly. Jane is also in tears as she pats her daughter's back, "You are much luckier than your grandmother. At least, there is someone you want to guard and wait for in this life. While your grandmother, besides waiting, she can do nothing else..."

The next day, Karin doesn’t go to work. Instead, she takes his daughter out to have fun the whole day and purchases a lot of food and items for fun for her. And in the evening, she solemnly says to her daughter, "Esme, Mom will be away for a while. You will be obedient to Grandpa and Grandma, right?"

Esme is suddenly stunned, "Where are you going, Mom?"

"To where your father is."

"Why don't you take me with you?"

"Because Grandparents are too lonely. I want you to stay here with them more.”

"When I didn't come to London before, weren't my grandparents lonely?"

"They didn't know you existed before. But now that they know and have seen you. Of course, they can't let you go anymore."

"But I want to be with Mom and Dad."

Karin's nose is sore. And she pats her daughter's head, "Esme, be good. There are plenty of days ahead when you can be with Mom and Dad. But when you go back to Zurich, it will be hard for you to see your grandparents again."

She winks at her parents. And Jane immediately said, "Yes. Grandma likes you the most, Esme. If your mother took you away, then I would l be sad and couldn't eat or sleep..."

"Yes, yes, me too. And last time, I promised to take you to see the bullfight. Don't you want to go there?"

Mike’s offer finally makes Esme sway. And she bites her lips and nods with difficulty, "Okay then. But you have to come back early to pick me up."

"Well, don't worry. I won't make you wait too long, Esme."

"Then let's pull the hook."

"Pull the hook and no change for a hundred years..."

In the end, Karin takes a flight and heads for Zurich. Before going to Zurich, she doesn’t tell Troy or anyone else.

By the time she gets to Zurich International Airport, it has been the evening. After five years, she is on this familiar land again. And she doesn’t know how to describe her feelings in her heart. But she knows that she feels complicated in secret.

Instead of rushing to find Troy first, she takes a taxi to the Ziteng Garden, a place that has appeared countless times in her dreams.

Originally, she thought that the garden would be uninhabited. Seeing that the door isn’t locked, she pushes it open and walks in, only to be greeted by a familiar scene and a yet no longer familiar environment. Those wisteria flowers once beautifying the garden have been transplanted, which are replaced by the purple dandelions that Troy mentioned. Unfortunately, the time for purple dandelions to bloom isn’t here yet. Even so, the furry lavender balls still make her very excited. She squats down and picks off a ball, holding it in her hands. As she blows on it gently, the white hair flurries flutter in the sky, which looks beautiful and touching.

"Miss Karin..."

A surprising call comes from behind her. She stiffens and recognizes that it is Yuma's voice. But she is a bit incredulous. Five years have passed. How come Yuma is still here?

"Miss Karin, is it you?"

Yuma runs forward excitedly and grabs her arm. After she sees her face, tears suddenly gush out of her eyes. She says, "It's you. I'm not dreaming, right? Oh my God, am I getting old and blind..."

She is somewhat incoherent. And she is indeed too excited in her heart.
