Capture Your Heart

Karin's going to have an emergent meeting to attend, and she calls the nanny to pick up Esme. After the meeting, she's about to rush home when the nanny calls her, "Miss Karin, Esme is missing!"

"What?" She's shocked to death. "Impossible!"

"I planned to take her right back home, but we stopped by the supermarket as I wanted to get some vegetables. She's missing when I checked out."

Shocked and terrified, the nanny says in a shivering voice as if she's about to cry. Karin's heart is squeezed and she instantly hangs it up to find her daughter.

Until the night falls, she hasn't found Esme. Then she is enveloped by terror and worry. William hastily comes to help her find Esme after she calls him for help, and they drive to find Esme…

"When did you call the police?"

"An hour ago."

Looking at Karin's watery red eyes, William comforts her, "Don't be worried. Esme won't leave you for too long. Plus, you don't have feud enemies."

"She's never acted like this before."

William frowns. "Why did Esme fight with her classmates?"

Karin turns around as her tears running out of her eyes again. In no way Esme could be so pissed off unless she got teased about her non-existence father.

She used to get teased like this, but they're out of line this time, and Esme loses control.

It's so cold outside. Where did she go? She's never regretted that she gave up on Troy to save Esme with her, but somehow, she regrets. She shouldn't have delivered her if she couldn't give her a normal family. She's too little to bear all the distress in the world.

Troy wines and dines several local powerful officials as he's about to develop his business here, so he wants to enhance his social network here.

It's eleven o'clock when the dinner's over. On the way to his home, Troy drives through a woods park where he notices a lonely child.

For some reason, he finds her kind of familiar. He pulls over and gets off to walk to the child, asking gently, "Do you get lost?"

The child slowly raises her head, which gets Troy shocked. It's Karin's child. To his surprise, the child's got many scratches over her face.

"Are you okay?"

Troy crouches down to ask Esme, but she just stares at him silently. After silent for long, she says, "I don't want to talk to you."

"Why not?"

"Because you're a bad guy."
