Chapter 119
\nCapture Your Heart novel Chapter 119<\/p>\n
“Okay.”<\/p>\n
Mia\u2019s dull eyes move to the ceiling. She asks, “Can you hold me up?”<\/p>\n
Troy is a little bit hesitant. Mia smiles, “It\u2019s fine. I can sit. Just hold me up.”<\/p>\n
Troy reaches out and gently picks her up. He tries not to look at the lower part of her thighs.<\/p>\n
“Do I look ugly now? Like a monster?”<\/p>\n
“No.”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t lie to me. I know I am no different than a monster now even if you don\u2019t tell me.”<\/p>\n
“Mia.”<\/p>\n
Troy rebukes, “Don\u2019t be pessimistic.”<\/p>\n
“Then what else can I do? I lost my legs. And now you are asking me to tell myself that it does not matter as long as I am still alive?”<\/p>\n
Troy remains silent. Mia continues sorrowfully, “Maybe for everyone, life always has some highlights. But for me, it is just like death, no difference.”<\/p>\n
“I know you feel sad. I am much sadder than you. I don\u2019t want you to experience the suffering at all.”<\/p>\n
“You want me safe and sound only because you don\u2019t want me to become your burden again.”<\/p>\n
“Things have already happened. Just leave them there. Don\u2019t think too much. I have told Robert to buy the best artificial limb for you. You can stand up again as long as you have confidence.”<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t have that kind of thing.”<\/p>\n
Mia glares at Troy hopelessly, “It\u2019s just fake in the end. I cannot come back to my formal life forever. My life is meaningless now.”<\/p>\n
“How? Stephen Hawking could make him life meaningful. Why could not you?”<\/p>\n
“Because I am not him.”<\/p>\n
The atmosphere between them is a little bit heavy. They both remain silent for a while. A few moments later, Troy hears Mia asking, “Will you take care of me?”<\/p>\n
He nods, “Yes. I will do anything if you ask.”<\/p>\n
“Anything?”<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s heart thuds. He adds, “Expect for marriage.”<\/p>\n
“I am sorry. I only have one request. I want you to marry me.”<\/p>\n
Troy rubs his forehead. This is what he worries most. Now, his fears come true.<\/p>\n
“I am really sorry for the situation now. And I know the Charles Family owes too much to your family. But forgive me. I cannot satisfy you in this respect.”<\/p>\n
“You cannot? Fine. Just go. Leave me alone.”<\/p>\n
She yanks off the infusion tube in her hand. Blood seeps out at once. Troy stops her, asking astonishingly, “What are you doing?”<\/p>\n
“You know what I am doing. I want to end this painful life.”<\/p>\n
“Calm down. Why can\u2019t you just let go of your obsession? I don\u2019t love you. Will you really be happy marrying someone who doesn\u2019t love you?”<\/p>\n
“But at least I have the reason to live. How can I talk about happiness when I am like this? Since I woke up, I have known I am denied the way to happiness because I am a monster now. I ask you to marry me so that I can have something to live for. I just want something to rely on. You only have two choices. One is marring me, the other is refusing me. If you agree, I will live for you. If you refuse, then I will not accept any help from you. Whether I live or die, it’s none of your business.”<\/p>\n
Troy stands up suddenly, “Are you forcing me?”<\/p>\n
“No. In fact, even if you agree to marry me, I won\u2019t be happy. As you said, I have lost my hope for life. I cannot live like a normal person. Love and marriage just do not matter anymore.”<\/p>\n
“If they are not important, why do you still try to make it hard for me? Marriage is not a child\u2019s play. If I marry you, then I will be bound to cause harm to others.”<\/p>\n
Karin has waited for him at the gate as before when he comes back to Ziteng Garden at night.<\/p>\n
“Troie.”<\/p>\n
She rushes toward him, “You have come back early today.”<\/p>\n
“You don\u2019t want that?”<\/p>\n
“No.” Karin shakes her head, “But, haven\u2019t you visited Mia?”<\/p>\n
“No, I have.”<\/p>\n
“Is she feeling better?”<\/p>\n
“She can speak now.”<\/p>\n
“Really?” Karin is nervous, “What did she say? Did she ask you to marry her?”<\/p>\n
Seeing her worried face, Troy feels sad and says, “No.”<\/p>\n
“Then she will ask you to do that. She will ask you to be responsible for her. What should we do? I have told you to give up revenge. If you follow my words, there won\u2019t be so many troubles.”<\/p>\n
“Don\u2019t think too much with your little head. Leave all things to me. And all you need to do is focusing on your study.”<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t want to think about these either. But I am still very worried\u2026”<\/p>\n
“But what\u2019s the use of worrying. Does it help? Things just happened.” Troy tries to change the topic, “Have your done what I told you at your last birthday?”<\/p>\n
“What?” Troy said a lot of things. How could she remember?<\/p>\n
