Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 298

That night, Emmanuel stays in the study all night. The next day, the housekeeper finds that he has committed suicide by taking poison. By the time William rushes to the study, his father's body has been cold. “Bang!” He once again falls to his knees in front of his father in grief and lets out a loud cry.

He asks himself in his heart, “Even so, don’t you regret it?”

The housekeeper hands him a piece of white paper with his father's last words written on it, “A evil thought ends up in rebellion. Don't blame yourself. I deserve all the blame.”

It is late autumn. A pile of dark-gray clouds hang on the sky domineeringly, making the earth depressing. The endless forest in the cemetery have long been bare. And the old trees stand there gloomily with moss covering the wrinkles on its body.

Emmanuel’s funeral is held quietly. Besides the ones from the Charlie family, no outsiders attend it. Wearing black clothing, they silently bow their heads in mourning. As the wind blow by, they feel bone-chilling coldness, thinking that the winter this year seems to come a little earlier than previously.

Karin stands at the end of the crowd line. At the sight of William standing in the forefront, she feels inexplicably sad in her heart.

After the funeral, seeing his wife looking grave, Troy looks back at the man standing in front of Emmanuel’s grave and says thoughtfully, "Go and comfort him."

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, it is. I'll go back first and have the driver come pick you up later."

After Troy finishes his words, he leaves the cemetery.It is raining lightly. Karin walks step by step towards the despondent back-view.

Although Karin wants to say a lot of things, she finds that she actually can say very little. At this time, any words will seem feeble. So she’d better not say anything.

Understanding William’s sadness and comforting him with silent words is the only thing she can do for him.

"Can I rest on your shoulders for a moment?" He speaks hoarsely, "Just for a minute."

Karin, who is stunned, nods grimly, "Okay."

William slowly turns around and leans his head on her shoulder, venting off multiple layers of emotions pent up in his heart instantly. He cries like a child, crying brokenheartedly. Karin's eyes turns red as she senses his sad mood. She pats his back, chokes, and says, "However sad and disappointed you are, don’t lose faith in life. Everyone get through the difficulties like this. We all learn to grow up as we are injured. After the day when we all have gray hair comes, we won’t be injured anymore. And that proves that we have finally grown up."

William cries for a long time. He has been crying for more than a minute. Some people, always like to shed a lifetime of tears in a day.

The two of them go separate ways after they part with each other. Karin gazes at William who sees her off first from the rear-view mirror. And she, who has been holding herself back from crying for a long time, finally bursts out crying. She wants to tell him that she feels sorry for him as well. She feels sorry for him not because she loves him. Instead, she feels sorry for him because he had been a foster child, the fact that he has been orphaned like Troy, and the fact that he had spent ten years loving two women and that neither of them loves him. She feels more distressed for him because he sent his father to hell so that he could be true to his heart…

Ever since that day, William has disappeared. No one knows where he has gone. In the vast world, there probably is always a place where he can start over.

After the storm, it is time to fulfill their promise. Troy and Karin decide to go to London to pick up their daughter. However, no one expects that a time-bomber lurking in his body kicks off at this time.

The two of them arrive at the airport. Before they can go through the security check, a sudden spinning pain hits Troy. Troy feels that his eyes go black. And he collapses in the airport lobby.

Karin screams and calls out in a panic, "Husband? Honey? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Don't you scare me!"

With the help of the airport staff, Troy is quickly sent to the nearest hospital. During the long process of waiting for the test result, Karin feels that her heart has been always gripped together. She doesn’t know how many times she has to go through hardships in her life before she can reach the so-called happy life. But there is one thing she is sure of, that is, God won’t take away the one that makes her happy anymore.

The one that makes her happy has many injuries and traumas on his body. Even he is given to God, she believes that God won’t accept him...

"Karin, how is Troy?"

"Madam, how could Young Master Troy faint? He's always in good health. Huh?"

"Was there anything unusual about him when you went out this morning?"

...

The questioning from all directions bewilders her. And now she is eager to know what is wrong with Troy as well...

Twenty minutes later, the doctor who examines Troy comes out. And he asks with a poker face, "Has the patient suffered a serious injury on his head? Such as a gunshot wound?"

Robert asks worriedly, "Yes. Is his situation worse?"

"After our preliminary diagnosis, it is a gunshot wound that has left side-effects on him after he doesn’t properly recuperate, causing brain damage. He has to do an operation. Otherwise, he will be in a life-threatening situation."

"Now?"

"Two days at the latest. The longer you delay it, the worse the situation will be for the patient."

"And is there any risk in the surgery?"
