Capture Your Heart

She Wants to Run Away 4"Why are you so annoying today?"

Troy turns his head in frustration and glares at him. Robert gulps, "I'll continue my work."

It's another lonely night, the moon is still round, but the people are not together.

Troy sits beside the stone table in Ziteng Garden, staring at the phone in his hand for almost an hour.

It's eleven in the evening, and Karin hasn't come back. He wants to call her but he is too proud to do it.

He knows she must be with William. Thinking of that, his heart hurts like being scratched by a cat and he really wants to smash the stone table in front of him into pieces.

It has been three nights that he hasn't seen her face. Either when he came back home, she was already in her room, and of course the door was locked from the inside; or when he came back early, she wasn't home, just like what happened tonight. Even if she came back, she treated him like he didn't exist and walked upstairs without even looking at him and wouldn't come out again.

Tonight, no matter what, he will change the situation. He can't stand her being with another man and ignoring him anymore!

Nearly twelve o'clock in the morning, Karin finally comes back. As in the previous few days, she walks right past him with disdain.

"Stop!"

Troy shouts sharply. He walks up to her angrily and questions her, "Do you know what time is it now?"

"I don't. A person on the date won't care about time."

"You're quite frank. On a date? What kind of date were you on lasted till midnight?"

Karin smiles irritably, "Do you want to know the whole process of our date? Okay, I'll tell you, listen carefully then."

She clears her throat, and tells him every little detail of the date, "William and I had a very romantic dinner together. After dinner, we went to watch a very romantic movie. After watching the movie, we went to enjoy the romantic night scene. After enjoying the romantic night scene, we ate my favorite barbecue. In short, the date was very...romantic!"

She finishes speaking in one breath, with an intoxicated expression, completely ignoring that the man in front of her is so angry as if there were smoke coming out of his head.

"Karin!!"

Troy holds her by the wrist with great strength, "Just because I pretended that I didn't know doesn't mean I can let you get away like this forever. From today on, you are not allowed to contact him again. If you dare not listen, I won't make it look good!"

"I won't listen. You are not my husband and I am not your wife. Why should I listen to you?"

She shakes off his hand and says firmly, "If you are going to hurt him, I'll not let you get away easily!"

"How?"

"I'll move out of Ziteng Garden and move in at William's apartment, and then I'll immediately marry him, and if you try to harass me, I will sue you for molesting me!"

"How dare you!"

"What will I be afraid of? Unless you shoot me now, don't you always have a gun with you? Take it out and shoot me."

"I asked you to give me time to think about the marriage. Now your business alone is enough to make my head ache. How am I supposed to consider other things?"

"Didn't I give you time? I have always given you time. It's just that every time I wait for you, you never see it."

His body is slightly stiff, and she already turns around and leaves. After pondering for a moment, he follows her upstairs, and her door is indeed locked from the inside again.

Karin takes off her coat, goes into the bathroom and lies in the bathtub. She closes her eyes tiredly and removes her disguise. How can she be happy? Only to be with the person she likes and do what she likes to do, that's true happiness.

There is knocking on the door, and she just thinks it is Troy again, and doesn't care at all.

Knock knock…

"Miss, miss, are you sleeping?"

It is Yuma, who seems to be very anxious. She frowns slightly and gets up from the bathtub, wraps herself in a bath towel and asks, "What's wrong?"

"The young master's stab wound on his chest seems to get infected. He is terribly in pain now. Please hurry to take a look!"

She gets stunned for a second and says through gritted teeth, "If he is infected just send for a doctor. It's useless for me to take a look."

"I have called a doctor. But you still need to go and help to apply some medicine on him. You know, except you, he is not used to being touched by others."

"If he is not used to it, just let him stay painful."

She hardens her heart, walks to the bed and lies down, pulling the quilt to cover her head. She doesn't want her defense that has been finally built in her heart to collapse again.

As time passes by, there is no sign of activity outside the door, the whole world is quiet, but her heart is the only one that can't calm down. She tells herself not to care about him, but when she closes her eyes, he is still in her mind. She thinks she really doesn't care, but when she heard that his wound was infected, as if she were hurting too. She can deceive the whole world, but she cannot deceive herself.

She gets out of bed helplessly, puts on her coat and walks out of the room. Standing outside the door, her fingers tremble slightly.

Pushing the door open, the room is completely dark. With the help of the faint moonlight, she sees him lying on the bed and she walks towards him slowly.

If love is a marathon, then, will she be only turned into a defective one if she takes a step back?

If so, how many risks will she have to take to take this step?

"Hasn't the doctor come?"

Sitting by the bed, she tries so hard to make herself sound calm.

"Not yet."

"I'll call him again then."

"No need to."

He reaches out to grab her, "My wound is what a doctor cannot heal."

She doesn't speak because she can't understand what he actually means.

"My wound is here." He holds her hand to his wound, "But it's here that hurts." And he moves her hand to his heart.

Suddenly she realizes that she has been fooled by him, she stands up to leave, but is hugged from behind tightly by him, "When I, who loves you, couldn't even see you, and you told me that you had a romantic dinner with someone else, watched a romantic movie, enjoyed a romantic night scene, ate what you love, do you know what was it like to me? My heart aches, I envy him, I am angry, I am sad, but more, I'm jealous. Unbearable jealousy..."

She still intends to leave, but he holds her so tightly, "Let me finish."

"I can hear the sound of your steps from a thousand people passing by me, because the steps of those nine hundred and ninety-nine people are on the ground, and only your steps are stepped on my heart. So no matter how far you go, wherever you go, I will not lose track of you, but I hope you will not go anywhere, stay by my side forever, and accompany me through all the remaining years."

She is stunned, and her eyes get misty. After a long while, she speaks in a choked voice, "Aren't you and Mia…"

"So, Karin, you won."
