Troy is speechless for a long time as his heart suffers a huge shock. Although his eldest uncle is
ruthless and unrighteous to him, he is his relative anyway. Hearing the news of his death all of a
sudden, he surely can’t accept and face it with peace of mind.
"Has the murderer been found?"
"The police have just arrived at the scene. And now nothing has been found out. But..."
"Go ahead."
"The situation is very unfavorable to you."
Troy knits his eyebrows, "Why did you say so?"
"The conflict between you and your uncle some time ago is boiling. Almost everyone in the whole of
Zurich knows about this matter. Coincidentally, you cut off his raw materials. After you left a few days
after, your uncle was looking around for leather suppliers. And he managed to find one yesterday and
the raw materials were also in the warehouse. However, at this juncture, he suddenly died a strange
death. The way you see it, who is the most suspicious one? "
"Could it be that they would suspect me? I am not even in Zurich. How can I be suspected?"
"If one wants to get rid of a person, only a fool would do it in person. The more you say you aren’t in
Zurich, the more suspicious you will be. Because people will easily suspect that you are deliberately
creating alibi evidence."
Troy falls into silence. And after a moment, he grits his teeth and says, "It seems that this is a
deliberate murder case against me. Someone is trying to frame me."
"Yes. Where are you now?"
"London."
"With?"
"Yeah."
"Then when are you going to come back?"
"I'll go back today."
"Are you bringing back Miss Karin?" Robert pauses for a moment, "It seems that someone is trying to
backstab you now. At this time, the way I see it, you’d better not bring her back. Zurich is not safe
anymore."
"I know."
Troy hangs up the phone, closes his eyes in pain, and falls into deep thought.
The dawn hits gradually. While eating breakfast, Karin sees that he hasn't gotten up yet. Thinking that
he has overworked himself last night, she quietly runs to shout at him to get up. After pushing open the
door, she finds that he has gotten up and is thoughtfully sitting on the sofa.
"What are you thinking about?"
She walks over and squats in front of him with a gentle smile on her face.
Troy gazes at her and remains silent for half a second. Then she wrinkles her eyebrows and asks in
confusion, "What's wrong?" Only then does he speak, "I'm going back to Zurich today."
Her heart stutters as she says, "What about me and Esme? Didn't you plan to take us back with you?"
"Originally, I was going to take you guys back with me. But now, I don’t."
"Why?"
"Something tricky is happening over there. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I can't be bothered to
protect you."
"What happened?"
Troy sees a trace of sadness flashing under her eyes, feeling that he can’t bear to keep the truth from
her any longer. Telling her the truth will make her worry. Even so, if he did not tell her, she would be
disappointed. And he would rather let her worry than let her down again.
"My eldest uncle is dead." He pauses for a moment: "It's a bit related to me."
Karin, who is suddenly stunned, falls to the ground. "Dead… Dead. Why..."
He tells her exactly what happened in Zurich. And after he finishes his words, he pulls her up and
presses her down on the sofa, saying with conviction, "Don't worry, it's a little tricky. But I'll solve it
soon. You and Esme should wait for me here. After I solve all the trouble, I'll come over to pick you up
right away! When the time comes, our family will never be separated again."
"Can't we go back together? I don't want you to face the difficulties alone!"
"I don't want to be separated from you guys either. But the situation is serious now. I can't take any
risks. since someone even dared to murder my uncle, it means they dare to do anything. You and
Esme are the ones I absolutely can't lose again at any cost."
After five years, Karin, who is no longer the same capricious and reckless woman, thinks of the dark
days she experienced in Zurich. To avoid becoming a burden to him and to take care of the overall
situation as well as for the safety of Esme, she nods while putting up with the distress in her heart,
"Okay, I promise you. Go ahead and do your business. I will wait here patiently for you with Esme."
Flinging into his arms and hugging him hard, she, who isn’t willing to part with him, is in tears. Sure
enough, she can’t enjoy her happy days for long. As soon as her family reunites, they have to face a
merciless separation...
"I'm sorry for always making you worry about me like this..." Troy cries as well, thinking that from now
on, giving his two favorite ones a worry-free future will be his lifelong wish.
The two of them walk out of the room. Karin announces the news to the family that Troy has to return to
Zurich. As soon as she finishes her words, Esme bursts out crying, fiercely runs to Troy, and hugs his
legs, crying, "Dad, are you going to abandon me and Mom again?"
Troy's heart is stung. He squats down and assures his daughter with certainty, "No, Daddy is just going
back to deal with a petty matter. After the matter is finished, I will come to pick you and Mommy up and
go home."
"Really?" Esme cries more sadly. In her heart, she is so afraid of losing her dad, which she managed to
find.
"Yeah. Let's pull the hook."
With red eyes, Troy stretches out his little finger, "Pull the hook. And never should we go back on our
words for a hundred years..."
After promising Esme, he turns to stare at Mike and Jane, "Mom, Dad, you can rest assured. I
guarantee with my personality that I will never fail your daughter again and that I will, I will come back
to pick them up."
Mike and Jane nod, "We believe you."
Walking out of the door, Troy pulls open the car door. As he is about to sit in, Esme cries out, "Daddy, I
love you!"
Troy waves his hand, "Daddy loves you too." As soon as he turns around, tears flow out ferociously...
After they arrive at the airport, Karin doesn’t cry. Instead, she straightens Troy's collar and tries to put
on a smile as she says, "If you dare to keep me waiting for too long, you will be doomed."
Karin surely has exerted great strength to speak in such a carefree way. On the way to the airport, the
two of them don’t say anything. Even so, she can see Troy’s sadness. So she admonishes herself that
the only way to stop Troy from being sadder is not to let him see her sad again.
"Good." Troy kisses her forehead, "I'm leaving."
"Okay, take care!"
She waves her hand and watches him leave her sight step by step. As he passes the security check
and his figure is about to disappear, she finally can’t hold herself back and shouts out as her daughter
does, "Troy Charlie, I love you...
He pauses. However, instead of turning around, he goes until she can no longer see him.
Karin no longer has to hide the sadness in her heart. She squats down and cries hysterically. She will
never bother with it if others take her as someone crazy. Because to her, loving someone is originally a
crazy thing.
“Beep! Beep!” Sound indicating that there is a new text on her cell phone rings. She takes out the cell
phone tremblingly and glances at the text, which reads, “I love you too!” Although it is an ordinary
sentence, the affection lying in between is beyond ordinary.
She runs out of the airport hall. As a plane sweeps overhead, she runs after the plane until it is no
longer visible and that it is unknown whether she has got tears or sweat on her face.
As the saying goes, the stars that can’t be picked are always the brightest, the small fish slipping away
is always the most beautiful, and the movie that people miss is always the best. To Karin, the lover who
is heading for a faraway place is always the one that knows her the best...
