Karin doesn't answer him, but says apologetically, "I locked the document in the drawer, and the key is
with me."
"Where are you? I’ll come over to get it."
After hanging up the phone, Karin leans on the sofa tiredly and closes her eyes, thinking of Jacob’s
pure smile. She doesn't understand when he has had these wrong thoughts.
With a self-deprecating smile, she stares at the red wine in the glass and asks, "You stupid boy! I
shouldn’t have saved you, right?"
If Troy knows Jacob's thoughts, he will definitely be very angry. He will definitely not trace the cause of
Jacob’s death anymore. He will definitely think that Jacob deserves to death, because he doesn't like
Jacob at the beginning.
It’s not that the red wine can’t get her drunk, but it just needs some time. Even though her mind is
blank, some memories are still clear.
In the end, William still comes over. In the crowded bar, he sees the woman sitting in the dark corner.
He walks straight over, sits opposite her, and asks with concern, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad
mood?"
"A little bit." Karin nods truthfully.
"Had a fight with Troy?"
"As long as I am in a bad mood, you just think that I had a fight with Troy?"
"Because he is the most important person to you. Only if he is important to you can he easily affect that
your mood."
Karin smiles bitterly, "You are wrong. It is not only love that affects a person's mood. Family affection
and friendship can also affect a person. If you say that you have no families or friends, I can
understand..."
"So, are you upset because of family affection or friendship today?"
Karin stares at him, "Can I trust you?"
"It seems that you’re going to tell me something."
"…How do you know?"
William smiles brightly, "Every time you want to tell me something, you will ask, ‘Can I trust you?’"
"Then can I trust you?"
He nods, "Of course, don't forget, I have always been your friend."
"Okay, then drink first."
After taking a sip of red wine, Karin lowers her head and says, "I seem to have killed someone..."
"What?" William is quite surprised.
"He is a boy. I saved him. He is five years younger than me. I always treat him as my brother. He is
also happy to call me sister. I thought we would be like real families even if we are not related by blood.
I didn’t expect that he would have a crush on me. He said he was afraid of ruining our relationship and
that I would hate him, so he left quietly. I let Troy find him for a long time. I finally found him tonight, but
he’s dead..."
Karin cries again. She turns away sadly, not wanting William to see her weak.
William is silent for a long time before speaking, "Although I don't know why the boy passed away, I
don't think it’s your fault. Because loving someone is not wrong. Besides, being loved is not wrong,
either. Affections are the most uncontrollable."
"It's not love, it's just an attachment. He loves her mother and sister very much, but his sister died a
long time ago, and he has not seen his mother for a few years. So he yearns for family and warmth, so
he put these feelings on me. He mistakenly thought it was love. If I could find out his abnormality
earlier, I would be able to guide him out of the misunderstanding and avoid the tragedy. Then he would
not die. ..."
Karin still blames herself. She still feels that she doesn't care enough about Jacob.
"Not everything in this world can be predicted. If it can be predicted, there will be no tragedy."
Karin chokes with sobs, nodding, "Yes, it's all unpredictable. Maybe I shouldn't save him at the
beginning, then he could live longer..." For the first time, Karin feels that it is not a good thing for people
to be sympathetic.
Karin is finally drunk. Her minds gradually blur, and then she completely passes out.
When she wakes up, she opens her dim eyes to look at the strange environment in front of her. It’s not
Ziteng Garden, but a completely strange environment.
Suddenly realizing something, Karin turns over and sits up. She’s shocked to realize that she is naked
and lying on an unfamiliar bed. What makes her panic is that there is a naked man who is lying next to
her. The man is William.
What the hell!
Karin screams in horror and quickly wraps her body in the quilt. Her face turns into pale.
William is awakened by her scream. He suddenly opens his eyes. After seeing everything in front of
him, he is actually more shocked than her, "What’s going on..."
Pow!
Karin slaps him fiercely. She’s too angry to say a word!
"Karin, don't get me wrong. I didn't want to do anything to you. I was drunk last night. I don't even know
what happened..."
William's expression looks innocent and sincere. He doesn’t seem to be lying, but Karin will never
believe him anymore.
Pointing her hand in the direction of the door, she says coldly, "Get out."
William turns his back, "You put on your clothes first. I’ll explain to you."
He has no plans to leave at all. Because once he leaves, he can no longer make it clear.
Karin picks up the clothes on the floor and rushes into the bathroom. After slamming the door, she
squats down decadently, but she can’t shed a tear anymore.
The affairs of the world are inconstant, which is beyond her ability to bear. Her father has made a five-
year-long agreement with her. She’s heartbroken and helpless. Jacob suddenly died. She feels
distressed and unbearable. Knowing the reason why Jacob left, she blames herself. After being drunk
and spending the night in the hotel, she doesn’t know what she is feeling now. What she can feel is just
like numbness and despair.
Has she betrayed Troy? Has she cheated on him? Although the memory of last night is blank, even if
nothing happens to her and William, she can’t forgive herself...
She silently gets dressed and then goes out, without crying from beginning to end. William has already
gotten dressed and has been waiting for her. Seeing her coming out, he steps forward and grabs her
arm, "Listen to me, last night... "
"Let me go!"
She sternly reprimands, without even looking at him.
"Why do you just not believe me? I was drunk last night. I don’t remember what happened at all. We
have known each for some time. You should know me. I’m not the kind of person who will hit others
when they are down. So I wouldn’t do such a thing to you."
"Not everything in this world can be predicted. If it can be predicted, there will be no tragedy." Karin
turns around, "This was what you told me last night. Now, I think I can get what you meant."
William frowns, grasping her arm harder, "Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. You will make me feel
like a nasty villain. I can swear that I have never other thoughts for you. I think that being a friend you
can trust is enough for me."
Karin smiles sarcastically, "Friend? I don't need a friend who would stab me in the back. Because I trust
you too much, I tell you everything. Because I trust you too much, I think even if I am drunk, you will
protect me well. What could be crueler than this? The person you trust most stab you in the
back?"
