"No, I haven't been taking any action against you, how could my plan work?"
"Then why not? How could you not do it for the sake of someone you love?"
"After knowing you, every time I saw your pure eyes and your kind smile, I couldn't bear to have that
kind of nasty thoughts towards you again, so even after gaining your trust, I didn’t take any action
further. One day Mia found me and questioned me why I didn’t get closer to you, I said I couldn't bear
to hurt such an innocent girl and convinced her to give up her evil plan, and that love cannot be forced,
and that if Troy didn’t love her in his heart, even if he was not in love with someone else, he wouldn't
have loved her at the very beginning. She laughed at me coldly after hearing my words and asked me
in return, if I knew love can not be forced, then why would I still be so obsessed with her and be willing
to do anything for her. I laughed bitterly and replied that although I loved her so much, but I never
wanted to use unethical means to get her, so I hoped she could love Troy as the way I loved her,
keeping our sanity and loving our loved ones in a distant way with the most sincere wishes to them. But
she ended up disappointing me, and the things she did later made me feel that my years of infatuation
to her were not worth it. I was blindly falling in love with her at first sight, which was so damned. I knew
her every evil plan, including the car accident that ruined her and the last bit of good impression I kept
of her in my heart, right at that moment, my love to her was gone... "
She is such an idiot. It turns out that William knew the truth about the car accident at the very beginning
- it was Mia who planned the car accident! It is so ridiculous that she even came to confide in him about
the accident, and what is more ridiculous was that he pretended so well that he knew nothing about the
truth and tried to comfort her. How ironic!
Now that thinking backwards, everything looks so ridiculous.
"Then since when did you turn your love for Mia to me?"
Karin's remark surprises William a lot, he probably doesn't expect that she has seen him through.
"From the day Troy decided to marry Mia and I met you at the night with pouring rains, watching you
crying and suffering. I knew the truth about the story but I couldn't say anything, that night was the most
unbearable night in my twenty years of life. You cried all night, and I felt sad for you all night, it was on
that night, the moment I watched you shed tears, my heart changed. I knew I didn’t deserve to love
you. So I never wants to fight for it, I am so happy just to be a friend of you, a friend you could confide
in for the rest of your life, but I never expects that I would become the chess of someone's plan."
"Your love really goes as fast as it comes, you have loved someone for seven years and in a sudden,
you can fall in love with another woman you’ve known for a few months. Your love is really cheap... "
"I know what I said will make you despise me, and I plan to put my secret in my heart for the rest of my
life, but now I decide to confess to you, it is because I don’t want to deceive you anymore, whether you
forgive me or not, from this moment, I want to be true to myself."
"That night, did you really lose your consciousness totally?"
Karin's expression is so grave as she forces him to answer, "Really? You don’t remember anything?"
The two confront with each other for a long time, William takes a deep breath and nods his head and
says, "I did wake up later."
"So... did you take advantage of me?"
Her body trembles slightly, she is so desperate to wish that he would deny it immediately, but he
doesn't say another word to deny or to admit it, he just keeps silent.
What William is thinking doesn’t matter to Karin anymore. She can’t know the truth, nor she wants to
know the truth. What had happened had happened. You can not change anything, right?
Anyway, the outcome is more of a victory than the process for Karin.
"Is it Mia again? The hotel thing."
She asks with her eyes closed.
"I asks her about it and she says no."
"And you believe what she says?"
"You will believe her too if you see what she has became now. For someone who's so disheartened,
she doesn't have the strength to scheme anything."
Karin opens her eyes, a blur of darkness in front of her eyes, "It seems that in this world, there are
many more people who want to break up me and Troy."
She should have known that this is an unpromising relationship from the beginning. Whether it is man-
made or God’s will, Karin and Troy just can not realize their wish of holding each other’s hand and
growing old together like an ordinary couple...
"You go away, from now on, don't let me see you again."
Karin walks towards the beach, William follows her, "Let's go together, I'm not at ease leaving you
here."
"Who are you to be worried about me?"
She raises her head angrily, "Get out of my sight right now before I hate you, I won't appreciate you
approaching me with some sort of purpose and only coming to your senses at the critical moment and
stopping something bad happens, you've lost your right to be forgiven, so please go back to the place
where you are from. From now on, I don't know you, and you don't know me."
William's dark eyes flashes with a hint of sadness as he nods guiltily, "Okay, I'll go."
He turns around and takes a few steps forward before stopping again, turning his back and saying, "Be
more careful, you have already fallen into a trap, there will be more unknown difficulties waiting for
you."
Karin doesn't even move her eyelids, raising her lips to reveal a mocking smile.
She walks alone along the beach for a long time, and gets near to a pile of reefs, and sits on the
highest one, gazing at the sea from the distance. For the first time, she starts to examine her own past
life.
What is the reason for her bonding with Troy? What is the reason for getting involved in his family's
conflict, and then what is the reason for being targeted by William? And finally, what is the reason for
that woman Mia to fall into madness?
After thinking about it for a long time, she is really exhausted. The world is full of danger, the human
being is full of evil thoughts. From the very beginning, she has become the plaything for someone. She
is so naive to think that love could be simple as long as they love each other and could sacrifice
everything for love. Now it seems that she is so wrong!
She has never regretted meeting Troy, even though it means bringing the world's ruthlessness to her
world, but at this moment, she feels regretted a bit. If she had never met him again after saving him on
the boat four years ago, then at least she would not be on such a desperate path now. If she knows
there is no future for her and Troy, she would rather keep her memory with him from the first time they
met.
She is not grateful for William's sudden awakening, but she should be grateful that he makes her
realize that her life needs to be reexamined. She should not to trust others easily, should not to be
overly demanding of perfect love, and should be tolerant, understanding and considerate...
She is so exhausted that she even has no strength to hate a person.
The mobile phone in her pocket rings, without having to look at it, she knows it is from Troy, she
answers the phone and says in a low voice, "I am on my way to home." Then she hangs up the phone.
Troy is standing outside the Ziteng Garden waiting for her. Seeing his figure from afar, Karin hides the
pain in her heart and tries to squeeze out a smile on her face that would not worry his Troy.
"I'm back."
She waves her hand and approaches him, "Have you been waiting me for a long time?"
"I've always made you wait for me before, so today I'm trying to get a taste of what it's like to wait for
someone too."
"How does it feel?"
"Not very well."
