Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 286

The familiar and warm embrace makes Karin let down all her defenses. She leans on Troy's arms, feeling the stirring of her heart at this moment.

The two are speechless for a long time as they just embrace each other. WIth their bodies get close to each other, their hearts are close together. And the farthest distance is always the distance between people’s hearts.

"Karin, I'm sorry for making you suffer..."

Troy's magnetic and hoarse voice rings in her ears. She shakes her head and chokes as she denies it, "Not at all. Not suffering at all. As long as you are alive, as long as you hold me like this, I will be the happiest woman in the world."

He sniffs and hugs her tighter, feeling eager to integrate her into his body. Although Karin covets his embrace, she wants to know what the truth behind the lie is as soon as possible.

She asks in a trembling voice, tilting her chin up and gazing at the figure close at hand in the darkness, "Honey, can you tell me why you pretend to have amnesia?"

"Let me hold you a little longer."

Troy presses her head back to his chest, increasing the force of his embrace of her. Only God knows that over these days, he has been intending to hug her and that he almost goes crazy...

She leans over his chest and places her both hands in the position where his heart is. As she feels his heartbeat, her tears slowly seep out.

She sobs as she reminds him, "I can barely breathe."

Only then does Troy let her go. Then he slowly lowers her head, kisses the corners of her eyes, and sucks all that salty liquid into his stomach until it mixes with his blood.

"Come with me."

He takes her hand, walks to the sofa in the middle of the living room, and presses the lighted switch. She finally sees his face. Yes, it is her Troy, the man she has been thinking of day and night to her bones.

He asks warmly, "Would you like some water?"

She shakes her head, "No."

Troy feels some trembling in her body, hurriedly takes off his jacket, and drapes it over her. Looking at his gentle action, Karin, whose tears were sulked dry by him, bursts out crying again. Such a scene makes her think of the scene when she first met him many years ago. At that time, he was also such a gentleman with poise. In the blink of an eye, it has been so long. And such a warm scene, as always, touches her.

He asks, sitting next to her, "Do you hate me?"

"No."

"At the beach, I knew who you were. But I pretended I didn't know you and ruthlessly left you and followed Molly. Don’t you hate me at all?"

"You had your reasons. I was sad. But I never hate you."

"I'm sorry. I indeed had to have my way."

Troy sighs slightly and tells her the reason why he pretended to lose his memory these days…

"That day with Robert, I was attacked on the boat. Before jumping into the sea, I already knew that the person who wanted my life was Uncle Emmanuel. I suspected him a long time ago. I suspected him even earlier than you did. However, I didn’t doubt him as early as he began to carry out his sophisticated plan. Based on his power and methods, it is much more difficult to deal with him than we thought. So when being targeted by six people with guns, I told myself in my heart, ‘I surely can’t die like this. I surely can’t leave the people who love me and the people I love in this world. Uncle Emmanuel won’t spare me. Naturally, he won’t spare my family.’ I jumped into the vast sea without hesitation. And for the first time, I, who didn’t believe in God, entrusted my life to God. Thinking that I would be lucky, I firmly believed that I could survive. It turned out that I did survive. Of course, I owed it to Molly."

Karin asks with uncertainty, "Is it true that she saved you?"

"Wait a minute."

Karin interrupts him hurriedly, "You mean, the reason why Simon later agreed to support us is that you had sought him out, right?"

"Yes, that afternoon, he refused you. That evening, I went to his residence to meet with him and told him my situation. He agreed to help you, saying that he will also keep my secret for the time being."

"And did you know about him being my grandfather?"

"I didn't know."

Karin's eyes suddenly become confused. It seems that she misunderstood Simon. It turns out that the reason why Simon changed his mind isn’t that he wants to make up to her. Asking them to wait in his office and letting her find her grandmother's photo wasn’t an act. Everything was destined. And it is all a mistake.

"So when I was wrongly accused of being Gloria's murderer, it was also you who submitted evidence to the police, right?"

Troy nods once again and sighs helplessly, “I know that if I go on acting like this, I surely will arouse your suspicion. However, I can’t just ignore you. However hard I try to be cruel on the surface, I can’t bear to see you be wronged in the slightest.”

"How did you know I was in danger? Have you been following me as well?"

"I haven’t been following you. But I have arranged for people to protect you. In addition to Robert, I also have a few special confidants. Their movements are very hidden. And even Emmanuel doesn’t know that they exist."

"Special Assistant Robert would be very upset if he knew you didn't even trust him."

"It is not that I didn’t trust him. In my heart, Robbert is as important as you. However, based on the current situation, the fewer people know about my situation, the better it will be. And the more people know about it, the greater the possibility of my exposure will be."
