Chapter 184 The Most Ruthless Thing Is Not to Fail Somebody 2

It’s not a long distance, but Karin has walked for a long time. If it weren’t that Troy holds her hands, she might have to walk more slowly. Thinking that if she walks more slowly, she will feel less uneasy.

On the second floor, Robert has been already waited there. His expression is also heavy. His expression has never been so heavy before.

Karin breaks free from Troy's arms and rushes forward, asking, "Where is Jacob? How is he?"

Robert raises his head and points to the ward behind him, "He’s inside."

Just when Karin is about to push the door of the ward, Troy suddenly holds her hand, "Karin, calm down."

The atmosphere suddenly freezes. Karin asks in a daze, "Why should I calm down? What happened?"

After pushing open the door of the ward with force, Karin sees the person lying on the bed. Her face suddenly turns into pale. She can’t move.

"Miss Karin..."

Seeing her face suddenly changing, Robert approaches her worriedly to support her. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Karin can see the white walls and white beds, but she can’t see the face of the person lying on the bed. Because his face is covered by a large piece of white cloth. Everything she can see is white.

After staggering a few steps, Karin almost falls down to the ground. Troy hugs her from behind. She breaks free from his embrace and continues to walk forward. When she walks in front of the bed, she feels her legs weak and then she directly falls down to the ground. She has no more strength to stand up.

"Will you open the cloth for me?"

She asks blankly.

Troy steps forward and slowly lifts the white cloth. Her last hope is shattered after seeing a familiar and distressing face. She hopes that she goes to the wrong ward or Robert finds the wrong person. That will be like the TV series. But why? Why is it so cruel in reality? Why isn’t it like the TV series this time?

Karin uses all her strength to stand up and throws herself in front of Jacob. She cries out desperately. She feels that her heart has already broken into pieces.

Maybe in the eyes of others, Jacob is just a child she has met and rescued by her. But in her heart, as early as the moment he called her sister, he became her family. In this world, except for her parents and the people she loves, she has already treated him as her family although they’re not related by blood. But now, he is dead. It seems that he is dead so miserably. She dares not look at him. If she sees his face, her heart will ache so much...

"Why this happens? Why??!!!"

She cries and asks Troy, "Tell me why this happens!!"

"When Robert found him, he was already like this. The specific reason needs to be investigated."

"So, he just died like this?"

Tears keep falling. She’s so sad that she almost can’t breathe. If she knew that chatting in the small hotel was their last talk, she would not just leave like that. She would definitely do everything possible to understand his pains. She wouldn’t let such a thing happen to him. She wouldn’t let him lie in this cold room and his scarred face covered with a white cloth.

"Don't be sad. I will find out the cause of his death. I’ll try my best to investigate. I won't let him die like this."

Troy understands how sad Karin feels. She has no siblings. Her dearest parents are unwilling to see her nor forgive her. In her heart, she has been longing for family affection. He loves her so much, so he knows her better than anyone...

"Jacob, wake up, wake up. Look at me. I’m here. Don't be afraid. I will protect you. I will save you..."

Karin strokes Jacob's bruised face. She can’t stop crying. She wipes the blood on the corners of Jacob’s mouth with her fingers, "It hurts, right? It must be painful... When you were the most painful, did you hope that I can appear again like last time, and save you again...? You must have been looking forward to it, right?... I'm sorry. I didn't protect you... I'm sorry, let you leave like this... I'm so sorry..."

She leans herself on Jacob, holding his cold hands. She is crying so hard that Troy can’t hold her. Those tears for Jacob contain too much self-blame and pain. She does not dare to imagine what kind of struggle Jacob has done before death. He must have been completely disappointed in fate.

"Karin, calm down. No matter how sad you are, he can’t come back to life. You have done your best for him."

"How could I be calm? He is just a child, but he was killed by others like this. Troy, tell me who would hate him so much that killed him like this? Do you really not know the reason? Or you’re just afraid that I will be sad if I know..."

"I really do not know."

Looking at her red and swollen eyes, Troy shakes his head firmly. He presses her shoulders, "Let Robert drive you home first. I have to go to meet someone. He may know the cause of Jacob's death. When I know the truth, I’ll come back as soon as possible to tell you, okay?"

"I don't want to go back. I want to stay with him here!"

"He is dead. He doesn't need you to accompany him. Be obedient and go back with Robert."

Robert walks in and says, "Miss Karin, if you still want to know the cause of Jacob's death, just go back with me. How could Mr. Troy rest assured if you’re here?"

Karin looks at the closed eyes of Jacob tearfully. From now on, she will never see those pure eyes, nor his bright smile. A person just disappears like this. Is there anything she can do for him?

"Okay, I’ll go back. But please, find out the cause of death of Jacob."

Even if she can’t avenge him, at the very least, let her know why he died like this. From the beginning to the end, she believes there must be some reasons, which causes Jacob to leave without saying goodbye.

After getting out of the hospital, the wind is bitterly cold. The tears in the corners of her eyes still keep falling. Karin sits in Robert's car, watching the view along the way. But the pain in her heart is still so clear.

On the halfway, Karin suddenly shouts, "Stop the car."

"What’s wrong?"

Robert stops the car in surprise.

"I want to go to the place where Jacob has lived. You can go back to Troy. I will take a taxi back by myself."

After speaking, she pushes the door and gets out of the car.

"Be careful."

"I will."

Jacob lives nearby. It’s Karin who has found the house for him. It’s still her who pays for the rent. Jacob has also given her a key, but at that time, she has never thought the key would come in handy.

Moving forward, the tears in her eyes are gleamed by the street lamps. On such a winter day, Karin is wandering the streets with mixed feelings. The snow that still flied in the sky last night has been trampled under the feet of people. She has experienced so many things in these short months.

If it were not for the death of Jacob, she might never dare to believe that the most ruthless thing in this world is not to fail somebody, but is the fate of people...
