My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"I'm not saying you're stingy," Sierra said, "You're quite a simple girl. You're still working here even when you're in a relationship with a young man who drives a luxury car. Any other woman would have quit long ago. They'd let the man take care of them,"

"Women still have to take care of themselves," Yesseca said.

She knew that her job wasn't very prestigious and the salary was very low, but she still had to work.

Sierra gave Yesseca a thumbs-up. "Well said. No wonder that young man dotes on you so much. He even brought that big bag of snacks for you to smoother, things out with your colleagues." Yesseca was quiet.

Sierra had thought the same thing.

"By the way," Sierra lowered her voice again. "You and that man with the child..."

Yesseca felt as though her heart had been stabbed with a needle.

It hurt so much that she almost jumped.

She quickly interrupted Sierra, "Sierra, stop talking.

I told you nothing's going on between us!"

Yesseca sounded very aggravated.

Sierra noticed it.

She quickly comforted Yesseca, "If you say so, then so be it. I won't ask about him anymore. You should have a good talk with that young man soon. He is a very good person. If you marry him, you'll definitely have a good life. Don't think about anything else,"

A hint of bitterness flashed across Yesseca's eyes.

"Don't think about such things."

Indeed, she had nothing else to think about.

"Kyiin is so kind and considerate to me. What else do I have to think about?"

"I understand," Yesseca murmured back quietly.

The hospital was much livelier at night.

That was because of the arrival of two old men.

Yesseca heard that one of them was Matthew's father and the other was Selina's grandfather.

The two old men were both in high spirits and looked very happy.

Yesseca and the two old men were standing slightly apart from each other. They didn't know each other very well.

Cecilia then saw Yesseca standing in the corner.

She smiled and asked, "Are you Yesseca?"

Yesseca knew that this lady was Selina's mother.

She quickly greeted her, "Hello, madam,"

Cecilia patted her hand affectionately. "No need to call me Madam. Just call me Auntie."

Yesseca felt closer to her after that.

Without hesitating, she said, "Hello, Auntie,"

Although Cecilia was a rich woman, Yesseca found her to be very kind, just like any other neighborhood auntie.

"Such a good girl," Cecilia looked at Yesseca tenderly. "Selina talks about you all the time. Selina really cares about you. She doesn't have a biological sister, but she definitely loves you like one." Yesseca's heart filled with warmth. "I know, Auntie. She's been very nice to me."

Cecilia pulled Yesseca further along the corridor and lowered her voice, "Selina's told me about you and Kyi in,"

Yesseca blushed.

After some time, she nodded.

Cecilia was very happy. "That's good. You two are a good match. Yesseca, believe me when I say this. You can rest easy. I've watched Kyi in grow up. I know him very well. You won't miss out on anything if you get together with him."

"I understand."

She already knew this even without Cecilia's advice.

She had kept in touch with him for quite some time now. She knew what kind of man he was by now.

After exchanging a few more words with each other, Selina then called her over.

Selina apologized, "I'm sorry Yesseca, there are so many people here tonight, I feel that you've been neglected,"

Yesseca quickly replied, "No, it's fine. I'll just watch you and the baby from a distance,"

She then smiled and added, "The baby looks much healthier and better than yesterday,"

"He does," Selina agreed, "When I just gave birth to him, I thought to myself, where did this tiny old man come from? My sister-in-law told me that he'd look much better soon, but I didn't believe her. Now it seems that she was right,"

Kyi in was very busy because Mr. Whitlock was here.

He wanted to accompany Mr. Whitlock.

Even though it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, he was still very busy.

Selina wanted her driver to send Yesseca back, but Kylin still insisted that he would send her back.

"Please wait for another half an hour, Yesseca. I will settle everything by 10:30 p.m. and then I'll take you home," Kylin said. She agreed.

She had nothing else to do at home anyway, so she might as well wait.

"You can take your time. Don't worry," Yesseca said. "I'd be bored at home anyway. I don't mind killing some time here."

Ten minutes later, the baby had fallen asleep.

The large group of people who had gathered around the baby now surrounded Selina.

Many of them were Selina's relatives

from the United States, so it wasn't

easy to talk to her. Yesseca walked

over to the corner of the room and watched them chatter happily

among themselves.

Although the room was very spacious, the atmosphere soon felt very cramped.

Yesseca felt a little suffocated and decided to step outside to get some air.

Yesseca walked out of the hospital.

The air outside was much fresher due to the abundance of trees planted around the hospital. She took in deep breaths of the cool, fresh air.

"Selina must still be surrounded by all of her relatives." She thought to herself.

If she gave birth to a child one day, would there be this many people surrounding her as well?

Her heart ached.

No matter how many people she had around her, the most important person in her life wouldn't be there.

Lothar.

Her brother.

If only her brother could be there for her when she gave birth.

In fact, she didn't even mind if Lothar wasn't there for her when she gave birth. It was enough for her to have him just see the baby.

However, that was impossible now.

Yesseca's eyes turned red. She was about to cry.

She took a deep breath and fought back her tears.

Why was she crying like this?

This was a happy moment for Selina. She was supposed to be happy!

Yesseca squeezed out a smile.

"You want to cry?" Suddenly, she heard a woman's voice.

That was unfamiliar to her. It sounded ethereal and strange.

Yesseca was shocked to see a woman suddenly appear in front of her.

She looked young and was dressed in a red suit.

Her red outfit looked much too big for her, so big that when the wind blew it ruffled in the wind violently.

"Who are you?" Yesseca asked.

She didn't know this woman.

The woman stared back at Yesseca. "Do you miss your brother?"

Yesseca was shocked.

"How do you know my brother?!" She shouted.

The woman smiled and said, "Selina's given birth to a sweet baby boy, but your brother is dead. How unfair! Yet you still came to see her. Aren't you letting your brother down?"

Yesseca felt flustered.

She said abruptly, "What are you

enwould

talking about? Selina is my brother's best friend. He'd be very happy to know that she has given birth to baby boy. His soul in heaven would have hoped I'd come to see her. If I hadn't come, my brother would feel terrible!"
