Chapter 164
\nCapture Your Heart novel Chapter 164<\/p>\n
In the dimmed street light, Karin walks down the mountain with her luggage.<\/p>\n
When she gets to the University of Zurich, Billie stares at her luggage, asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s the heck are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stepping into her dorm, Karin sits on the perch of her bed without any word.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? Haven\u2019t you forgiven Troy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m leaving tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie widens her eyes. \u201cAre you insane?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if you get bullied by bad guys in some strange place?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a grown-up, and I can take care of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen leave for home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin shakes her head. \u201cI can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about William\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on. I\u2019m sure William would like to take you away with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t. After all, we\u2019re not lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why did you turn to him last time?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was an emergency, okay? Now it\u2019s different, as I\u2019ll leave here on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin rises to her feet and walks to her desk. Starting her computer, she finds a map of China on the Internet. With her eyes closed, she clicks a place at random.<\/p>\n
After she purchases a flight ticket online, Billie asks, \u201cAre you sure you want this? Nothing to change your mind?\u201d<\/p>\n
She nods with a sigh.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think Troy will let go of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin doesn\u2019t answer her. Billie swivels and secretly creeps out of the dorm.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop!\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin shouts, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to inform him. He agreed that I left here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? How could he do it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie snaps, \u201cBecause he should make up for your loss of youth caused by him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNonsense! Love can\u2019t be measured in money. What we had was a love instead of a trade.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knock, knock\u2026<\/p>\n
Their conversation is interrupted by the annoying knock. Billie angrily says, \u201cCome in!\u201d<\/p>\n
But her attitude instantly changes as she sees the man. \u201cRobert, what are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here for Miss Karin.\u201d<\/p>\n
He shifts his eyes to Karin. \u201cI guess you must be here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes Troy regret and tell you to bring her back?\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie asks with her charmingly bright smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d He takes out two golden VIP bank card and says, \u201cMr. Troy told me to give you these.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are they?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVIP bank cards.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie is dumfounded before sighing. \u201cSomeone told me that love can\u2019t be measured by money, but obviously, Mr. Troy doesn\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin coldly turns around and gently says, \u201cThanks, but I don\u2019t need them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTake it easy. Mr. Troy just wants Miss Karin to live a better life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I just don\u2019t need them. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie takes the cards for Karin. \u201cKarin deserves them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBillie!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have broken up with him, haven\u2019t you? Just take his money away, and you\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGive them back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Then she left with red eyes.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s got an hour before boarding when she arrives at the airport. With a broken heart, she sits on the bench in the waiting hall. Suddenly, the news on the screen above her head attracts her attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe murderer attacked the heir of the Charles family three months ago stood trail yesterday. He\u2019s from Yunnan, China, at the age of twenty-one. He publicly surrendered himself to justice in the Kloster Fraumunster a week ago, disclosing an unknown truth\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
There comes the video clip of Troy\u2019s wedding ceremony where the priest was congratulating the newlyweds, then a young man broke in and pointed at the bride, yelling, \u201cShe\u2019s a liar, and the wedding is a swindle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJacob\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin was dumbfounded as she can\u2019t believe what she sees.<\/p>\n
But the news is as true as it can be. The young man is Jacob.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s been stuck in the swirl of the pain caused by Troy\u2019s lies, not caring about what happened at the wedding ceremony. All she knows is that the ceremony was ruined, but never will she think it was Jacob who ruined it\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could it be Jacob? Why was he?\u201d<\/p>\n
She covered her mouth with her hands as her mind was a mess. How could a man who called her sister was a murderer? Why?<\/p>\n
Now all she wants is to meet him, and to ask him in the face that what\u2019s wrong with him?<\/p>\n
She hastily rushes to the prison, and meets Jacob in the name of his sister.<\/p>\n
She meets him after a month, but she almost can\u2019t recognize him. With sunken eyes, he\u2019s thinner and darker in a big and loose prison uniform.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you Jacob?\u201d<\/p>\n
She asks in a shivering tone.<\/p>\n
With tears in his eyes, the young man across from her slowly raises his head and answers huskily, \u201cYes, sis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin\u2019s heart stutters as she hears his familiar voice. Her tears trickle down her cheeks. \u201cWere you the one that hit Troy three months ago?\u201d<\/p>\n
How she wishes he\u2019d say \u201cNo\u201d, but he says, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy? Why did you have to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor money. Guys like me can do anything for money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut when I saved your life, you told me you were homeless.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I was, because of the car accident three months ago. I got drunk that night and hit Mia, so my boss said I disgraced our gang. He punished me before kicking me out of our gang.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you left me without a goodbye after seeing the picture of Troy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. When I saw your boyfriend was the man that hurt me before, I was guiltily upset and scared, so I left secretly. Ever since that, I\u2019ve been stuck in the endless pain. I\u2019ve been watching over you, Troy and Mia, knowing that they would get married, which upset you. After deliberating for three days and nights, I finally made up my mind to speak out the truth. I purposely threatened Mia for money to record her words with my recording pen. If I didn\u2019t do it that way, nobody would believe me. All I knew was to repay your goodness. I was meant to rot in hell, but you deserve happiness, and I\u2019m willing to do anything to make it happen\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2703","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
