Chapter 142 Who Let down Love 1

As he is bleeding, his face becomes increasingly pale. Finally, he falls on the floor. There is much blood
on the floor.

She is too shocked to see what happens. Suddenly, the knife on her hands drops. She approaches him
and cries, "Troy, do you prefer death rather than giving up taking revenge? Fine, I will die with you."

Karin is desperate. Then she catches the knife on the floor and tries to kill herself, but Troy stops her
by holding the knife in his hand. His hand is cut by the knife and bleeds. The blood drops form the
handle of the knife.

Everywhere is full of blood in Karin’s eye.

She loosens her hand and holds Troy. Then she half kneels by him, fondles his head and cried, "Why
will we be like this today? Why?"

Actually, they have a lot of choices. But why they choose this one?

"You said you don’t want to take a bet. So, I will bet my life that you’ll stay here."

With one hand covered on his chest, Troy fondles Karin’s cheek with the other hand and wipes away
her tears.

If that is his last wager, then he wins. Karin struggles for a long time and says, "OK, I will stay here for a
month."

Sometimes people make a compromise because they surrender to fate rather than they have hopes.

If it is one’s fate that he would be abandoned, regardless of what he does, his fate wouldn’t be
changed, So wouldn’t Karin’s grandmother and her.



She gives a phone call to Robert and then the latter takes Troy to the hospital. She sits on the bloody
floor from nightfall to midnight and to the next morning.

Yuma goes to the hospital. There is only her in Ziteng Garden. She doesn’t know whether Troy is alive
or not, nor does she dare to ask. She remembers that once Mia cursed her, "Someday you will be in
the hell. At that time, you will be anguished."

That may be the price of love. The wrong ending attributes to the wrong beginning. Though Troy is
alive, the relationship between them will be different.

Some wounds will still exist as time goes by. Their existence will remind you of the betrayals.

She hears someone is walking and that is the only sound that she can hear. Yuma comes to her and
fixes her hair on her forehead. "Karin, Mr. Troy is fine now."

He is fine. She says in a hoarse voice, "Yuma, it’s cold."

Yuma holds her tight. Karin is as cold as ice. She knows Karin for six months and she really likes her.
She knows what happens between Karin and Troy. Now she assumes that Karin must feel miserable.

"You must go to bed," Yuma replies.

Then she helps Karin lie on the bed, wraps her in blankets and holds her hands. She says, "I am aware
that you are sad. Troy doesn’t know why his parents are dead. He can pretend that nothing happens.
So, he must do something. You win some, and you will lose some. I don’t think he knows who he
should choose, his parents or his girlfriend. He isn’t an ordinary man, neither is his marriage or love."

Karin can’t remember that how many times others tell her that Troy isn’t an ordinary man. There is no
wonder that their love is painful. Is it because she is an ordinary woman?



"The wound on his chest is close to his heart. It was dangerous! You felt sad that he’s going to marry
Mia. Wouldn’t you feel sad if he died?" Yuma adds.

"Yuma, what do you want to say to me?"

Karin stares at the ceiling expressionlessly and asks Yuma weakly.

She knows that what Yuma said is for leading her upcoming important words which she can guess.

"What I meant was that you shouldn’t leave Troy now. It was hard for you to be together, if you give up
now, then your effort will be meaningless."

That is exactly what she guesses. She closes her eyes and says, "I am tired. Can you close the door
when you leave my room?"

"Would you go to the hospital and visit Troy?"

She shakes her head and says, "I won’t."

Yuma is anxious and says, "So you will leave him?"

"No, I told him that I wouldn’t leave in a month."

Yuma is in relief. She sighs and leaves.

Exhaustion takes Karin into a dream. Her grandmother is angry with her in the dream. She points at
Karin and says, "Karin, you let me down. Why do you follow my path? Do you want to be lonely for a
whole life like me? Men are liars. Men never keep their promises."

"Grandma, Grandma, Grandma…"



Karin is awake and find herself crying. The sunshine shines on her bed through the window and it hurts
her eyes. The blood is cleaned by Yuma. It seems that nothing has happened unless her heart isn’t
broken.

She gets out of the bed and then she stands before the mirror in the bathroom. Looking at her image in
the mirror, she finds that her attitude towards love, fate and life is changed after one night. She won’t
believe in love easily, or she won’t fall in love with someone easily.

Troy leaves the hospital five days later. He doesn’t recover yet. Nobody knows why he was stabbed in
the chest.

Milan asks him to live in Charlie Mansion, but he wants to live in Ziteng Garden. He missed Karin very
much in those five days. He knows why she didn’t visit him. She still hates him though she agrees to
stay.

In the morning, Yuma tells Karin that Troy will leave the hospital. She pauses for a moment and then
she leaves Ziteng Garden. She sits on the mountain for a whole day.

At dusk, she goes back home, sitting on the sofa quietly.

Yuma sighs and asks her, "Are you going to ignore Troy for the rest of your life?"

She remains quiet. It seems that she doesn’t hear her question, or she doesn’t want to answer it.

"Would you see him? He really wants to meet you."

She has a look at the stairs, then she stands up and go upstairs.

She stops at the door of his bedroom. She doesn’t know how brave she should be to enter the room.

She opens the door and walks to his bed with her head lowing. She stands quietly by his bed.



"Karin…"

Troy is surprised to see her because he misses her very much. It turns out that he can’t leave her.
Those five days is longer than five years for him.

She wants to cry while hearing he call her. But she can’t. Nobody deserves her tears in the world,
because those who deserve them won’t make her cry.

"You are not going to take a look at me?"

His voice is hoarse. Staring at her face, he is in agony. He can’t distinguish whether the agony is
caused by his heart or his wounds.

Karin raises her head and look at Troy who is sitting on the bed. Not only her, but also Troy becomes
haggard suddenly.

"Now come and give me a hug."

His wounds are bound with gauze. His injuries are severe than three years ago. It is hard for him to
move.

She sits on the bed with her wet eyelash shaking.

Troy endures the pain of his chest and holds Karin. He whispers to her, "I was afraid that I can’t hold
you like now when I was in hospital. Thank you for being with me. Without you, I won’t be happy though
I avenge my parents’ murder. I can’t live without you."
