Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 120

"Oh, now I remember."

Karin pouts, "I am not an idiot. You really think I will run to ask for present in the yard? Am I that stupid?"

"You don’t believe me?"

"You are not credible."

"Follow me."

Troy takes Karin’s hand and together they walk to the corner of the garden. He points to the ground, "Look carefully. Do you find something?"

"It’s too dark. I cannot see anything."

Troy gives his phone to her and says, "Look again."

Karin bents down, "Nothing found. Nothing."

Troy sighs, and squats beside her. He uses his phone light to help her see clearly, and points to a large area of plants with small sprouts, saying, "Look. Your presents are there."

"What’s this? Just some weeds."

"Dummy. They are not weeds, but the seeds of purple dandelion from Northern America. I put a lot of effort to get it."

"Purple dandelion?"

Karin is shocked. She wanders back and forth through the garden hundreds of times a day, but never notices there is something different. She even walks over it a few times.

"Yes. They will bloom in there months if things go smooth."

"Why didn’t you tell me? When did you plant them? I don’t even have the faintest idea…"

"On your birthday. I do not plant them. I just asked Yuma to plow the soil and scatter those seeds."

"So, Yuma knows the secret?"

"Yes, I tell her to keep that."

"You two were in cahoots to trick me. I hate you."

But in fact, Karin feels moved and happy.

"Thank you so much."

She suddenly stands on her tiptoes and kisses him on the cheek.

"Don’t mention it. I have said that I would give you a present which would make you as happy as my mother. And money can’t buy this."

"Thank you. I love it very much."

"But I still have my concern."

"What?"

"I'm worried that the climate here is not right for the flowers to bloom."

"I don’t mind if they will bloom or not. I know your love for me. And that’ all. If they can give full blossom, that’s the best. If they cannot, I still feel happy."

Troy smiles, "You are the most easily satisfied woman I have ever seen."

"No, I am not easily satisfied."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because I always hope you can love me more. I can never be satisfied. I want you to love me. I want you to love me more. I want you to be crazy about me. So, just love me with all your heart."

"Ok, as you wish."

Karin runs away immediately when she finds his staring eyes. She keeps laughing while running, and says, "Help. There comes the wolf…"

Her laughter echoes in the quiet Ziteng garden. Sometimes, you can only try your best to ignore the misfortunes in life.

The next afternoon, Troy receives a call from the hospital. It is from his man. They say, "Boss, Miss Mia did not eat anything all day yesterday."

Troy frowns and says, "Okay, I know."

"What should we do?"

"Continue observing and report back tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, I just come back from hospital."

Troy wearily walks over to his desk and sits down, "Please go out if there is nothing else. I have to work now."

"What are you going to do with Mia?"

"I know what to do. Can you stop worrying about everything?"

Milan raises her eyebrows and says, "How can I not be worried? Ever since Karin shows up, I just cannot ease my mind, not even at one single thing. If you just let her go to Zurich and marry Mia, everything will be fine. Maybe you even have your own child now."

"I know what I am doing. I can make decisions on my own. I don’t need others to worry about me. Now, go out. I have to work."

"You…"

Milan suddenly sits down on the sofa and cries, "You are pissing me off. You've grown up now, haven't you? Do you remember who stayed by your side day and night, accompanying you through those painful days when mom and dad just died? You just forgot the pain after recovery. You disown me as a sister for that woman. Would you dare to talk to mom and dad like this?"

Troy gets up. He walks to Milan’s side and says gruffly, "I do not. I have never recovered from the past. There is not a day that it does not hurt. If I forgot the past pain, why did I still try to find out the cause of their death? For this, I even got Mia into hospital. I do not forget it were you who were there to comfort me and care for me during the most difficult days. I refused to follow your words because I couldn’t agree on some of your ideas. But this does not mean that I want to cut off ties with you. If our parents were still alive, they would not force me to do things I do not like. The real family is the one that encourages, understands, and supports each other. Do you understand?"

Troy reaches out to wipe the tears from her face after he finishes his words. He gives Milan a warm hug, saying, "I really hope you can understand my feelings. Now I face a lot of pressure. I have to run the company alone and I have to deal with those who cast covetous eyes on us. I am already very tired. Please just do not give me additional trouble."

Milan sniffs, trying to say something. But she just cannot utter a word. Finally, she blows her nose and leaves without hesitation.

Karin has been thinking about paying a visit to Mia. Finally, she makes up her mind.

But she dares not to go alone, so she asks Billie for company. Billie agrees.

They go to the hospital by taxi. Standing outside the ward, Karin feels extremely nervous. She keeps breathing over and over again. Seeing this, Billie ridicules, "Look at you. Is she really that scary?"

"You have no idea about that. She almost got crazy that day when knowing she had lost her legs. In fact, it would be too much for everyone."

Karin seems to have thought of something, and she says quickly, "Don't say anything to irritate her. She is already very poor."

"Okay, I know."

Mia’s face darkens when seeing Karin enter. She asks coldly, "Why are you here?"

"I am here to see you."

Karin sits down in front of her, leaves the fruit on the table, and puts the specially bought flowers in a vase. Then she says gently, "I heard that you love lilies. I will buy you a bunch every day as long as I have time."
