Capture Your Heart

Chapter 146 Doing Anything for You 1

Sam is aware that Karin is determined to help him, so he puts the bleeding man in the car.

Those men know they can’t defeat Sam, so they do nothing to stop Sam.

In the Ziteng Garden, Yuma is screaming while Karin takes a bleeding man back. She asks her, "What happened?"

"Yuma, call the doctor. I can explain it to you later."

The man is put in the guest room. Yuma and Sam do for a doctor. Karin cleans the blood stain in his face with water.

"Thank you."

The man says. Though he is weak, he is conscious.

"What’s your name? Where do you live? Can you hear me?"

Karin speaks to his ear. He can’t speak.

The doctor comes. He cleans the man’s wounds, and gives him some medicine and treatment.

"Is he alright?" Karin asks.

"He is fine. He just got flesh wounds. He must be hit often."

He is often hit? Karin feels sorry for the thin man.

"After a night of rest, he can wake up tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Then they leave the room. Yuma talks to Karin, "Miss Karin, Sam told me everything. How can you save the man? People like him tend to commit crimes. You are putting yourself in danger."

"He’s a kid."

"Though he’s a kid, a decent boy wouldn’t leave school at a young age or wouldn’t be hit at midnight. I suggest that you ask him to leave now. It is dangerous for you to be kind to him."

"Yuma, what are you worried about? Are you worried that he would rob your money or steal your money?"

"No, I am worried about your safety. Mr. Troy isn’t here. I am responsible for your safety."

"It doesn’t matter. I will take the responsibility by myself."

"But…"

"Sorry, I must save him."

Karin insists. Later she looks after the young man for a night. He wakes up in the next morning.

While he opens his eyes and looks around, he sees Karin who are sleeping. He calls her, "Miss… Miss…"

"You wake up." Karin gets up.

She asks him, "Are you alright?"

"Thanks for saving me," the young man who has big eyes and long eyelashes.

"I feel great," he is crying, "Thank you very much."

"My pleasure. Oh, please don’t cry."

The young man is wiping his tears. There are many wounds on his rough hands. And that makes Karin feels upset for him. She guesses that he must have suffered a lot.

"I haven’t come across anyone kind to me. But you are the first one. If you didn’t rescue me last night, I would have died."

The man continues to cry, which makes Karin more upset.

"What’s your name?"

"Jacob."

"Where do you live?"

"I am homeless."

"Why?"

"It is a long story. I came to Zurich with others. I wanted to make some achievements, but I failed."

"Why did those people hit you?"

"I work for their boss. Last night our workplace was investigated by the police. They thought I blabbed to the police, so they wanted to kill me."

"Where is your hometown?"

"Ireland."

"So, you came here alone? What about your families?"

For this question, Jacob nods, and then he shakes his head, saying nothing.

Karin stops asking him because he doesn’t want to answer the question. Every family has its difficulties and secrets.

"You can live here until you recover. When my boyfriend comes back, I will ask him to give you a job. You will quit those dangerous jobs and disconnect with those gang guys."

"Thank you. I really appreciate you."

"It’s my pleasure to help you."

Karin is going to grow the flowers in the garden after breakfast. The worried Yuma follows her and asks her, "Miss Karin, he is fine now. Can we ask him to leave?"

She sighs and says, "Why do you dislike him? I let him stay here."

"Stay here?" Yuma is shocked, and she says, "For what reason? He is as dangerous as a tiger."

"He is homeless. When Troy is back, I will ask Troy to employ him."

"He won’t do that."

"In that case, I will try other means."

"Why are you doing this?"

Yuma is anxious. She asks again, "Are you upset by Mr.Troy and Mia’s marriage? Their marriage is temporary. Please don’t…"

"You can think that way."

She stands up and moves to anther place to grow flowers.

Yuma thinks that it’s useless to persuade her since she is determined, so leave it to Troy.

Jacob comes to the garden and he is attractive by it. He asks Karin, "Do you live here alone?"

"No, I live with my boyfriend."

"It’s pretty."

"Happiness is more important."

"So, are you unhappy?"

"Can you see that I am happy?" She asks him.

"You can eat tasty food, wear beautiful clothes, live in a wonderful house and you have servants, so you should be happy."

She laughs and says, "That’s your opinion. But mine is that it is happy of me to live with someone I love."

"You said you live here with your boyfriend. Don’t you live with someone you love?"

"I mean living with someone I love forever, but I live with him temporary."

Jacob says, "I’m confused."

"Let me explain in this way. You are here since last night. Have you ever seen my boyfriend?"

"No."

"You haven’t seen him because he is taking wedding pictures with his fiancée in France."

"He has a fiancée?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Jacob is puzzled. Then he understands. So, he says, "I see. Do you mean that you are his mistress?"

Karin denies, "Of course not."

"Then, who are you?"

"I won’t tell you. You are too young to know it."

"I am not young. I am 21. And I began working at 15. I know everything."

"Though you began working at a tender age, you need to go through something by yourself."

Karin juts her chin forward. The sunshine sheds a soft glow on her face and her eyelash flickers.

"You look like my elder sister."

"Oh, do you have a sister?"

"Yes."

Suddenly, he feels sad. He says, "I had an elder sister as pretty and kind as you. But she died years ago."

"Why did she die?"

"My father died when I was little. Then my mother remarried a bad man, who drank and gambled every day. My sister was ill but he didn’t take him to the hospital. She died later."

Jacob is going to cry. He says, "I have to be rich and powerful. One day, I will let the man make an apology on my sister’s grave."

"Don’t be too upset. I think if your sister were alive, she would wish you to be happy and do some legal jobs."

Karin finds that why Jacob becomes what he is today. He must join the gang and do something illegal in order to leave his family.

Humanity are born to be innocent and kind. Only the environment that they live in can change their personality.

"She was kind to me when I was little because she gave me all the tasty food. After she died, nobody has been kind to me."

Jacob almost bursts into tears, but he holds them back. Karin thinks he is similar to her. She comforts him, "Can I be your sister?"

"Could you?"

"Sure. You can call me Karin."

"Karin."

Jacob sniffs and smiles. His smile is as clear as his soul.

Troy has gone to Paris for two days and doesn’t return yet. He even doesn’t give a phone call to Karin, neither does Karin. He doesn’t know that she knows he is in Paris. And she pretends that she doesn’t know it.

She promises to stay here for a month. No matter what will happen in the month, she will ignore it.

She won’t wait for him to go home at night and call him if he doesn’t come back anymore. Love will make people silly, but the ruthless fate will keep people sober.

Her fate tells that she should not depend on anyone since even her shadow will leave her at some times.

She practices writing on a desk at dusk. Jacob has problems with literacy, so he know only few words that she is writing.

"Karin, you grow flowers, reads, paints, or writes for a whole night. Don’t you feel bored?"

"I am not bored. How can I be bored for doing something I like?"

"But you are doing a lot of things that you like?"

"Am I?"

"Yes. You like doing everything."
