My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Kylin wasn't expecting to receive a phone call from Selina in the middle of the night.

He never lied, so he told her the truth. Yesseca was in the hospital with a high fever and her temperature had gone as high as forty degrees Celsius.

Selina felt her soul shatter when she heard this.

She told Matthew to take her to the hospital right away.

Matthew didn't agree to this. Selina still had to be in confinement for another month. He told her that she had to stay home.

However, Selina wouldn't give in so easily.

She was visibly agitated as she said, "It's no joke getting a fever at forty degrees Celsius. She might have gotten brain damage. What if something has happened to Yesseca? I don't care if I'm in confinement, I have to go and see her, even if it's risky for me,"

Matthew couldn't persuade her to stay.

So, they drove over to the hospital.

Kylin didn't expect to see Selina.

He said, surprised, "What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be in confinement. Why did you come all the way here? You should be resting in bed,"

"Rubbish to your rest!" Selina barked at him, "How can I rest when something like this has happened to Yesseca? How is she?"

"She was given an IV drip. She's sleeping right now," Kyi in answered.

"I'm going to see her."

"She's fine, Selina. You should go home and get some rest. It's late."

She glared at Kylin. "I'm going to see her no matter how late it is."

Kylin looked at Matthew.

Matthew shot a look at Kylin, motioning for him to bring Selina to where Yesseca was. Kylin obliged.

It was just as Kylin said, Yesseca had already fallen asleep.

However, even though she was asleep, she was still in a very worrying condition.

Her cheeks were unbearably red, and her long, thick eyelashes trembled heavily from time to time.

Selina was worried. "Kylin, why is her face so red?"

Kylin comforted her by saying, "Don't worry. The doctor has given her some antipyretics,"

"How did she get such a high fever? She looked fine yesterday," Selina asked.

Kylin didn't answer.

He didn't know why either.

After that, Selina went to see the doctor that was treating Yesseca. Once she was sure that Yesseca was safe, Selina sighed with relief.

Seeing her breath out a sigh of relief, Matthew urged her to go home.

She had just given birth, after all, she shouldn't push herself so much. Selina refused.

She had to wait until Yesseca woke up.

Yesseca hadn't actually fallen asleep.

She was awake but she couldn't move her body.

She tried to open her eyes several times, but couldn't. She eventually gave up and just decided to stay in this state.

Her head hurt.

She kept thinking about everything Kylin told her, as well as the things Cassie had said as well. However, most of all, she kept thinking about the things that the strange woman told her last night. She didn't believe anything that the strange woman told her at first.

But now, she was suspicious.

When Lothar died, aside from what Matthew and Selina had told her, she hadn't actually seen Lothar's corpse.

This was already suspicious by itself, but she didn't think about it at the time because she trusted Selina.

Fast forward to the present, she was doubting Selina.

She wondered if Selina had lied to her about Lothar's death. He wouldn't have given up so easily after all. She suddenly heard Selina's voice calling out to her.

Yesseca wanted to open her eyes to see if it actually was Selina, but couldn't.

She also heard Matthew's and Kyi in's voices.

"Selina, Yesseca is fine. You should listen to Matthew and go home to rest."

"Babe, listen to me. Let's go home. You shouldn't push your body so much. You've just talked to the doctor. Yesseca will be fine."

Then, she heard Selina's voice.

"You can stop talking now. I'm not leaving. I'm confident that Yesseca will wake up before I leave."

"I know she's fine, but I still have to wait here until she wakes up."

"Alright, Matthew, take Kylin with you and leave me alone. I won't leave until Yesseca wakes up. Lothar was Yesseca's only family member left. I have to make sure nothing bad ever happens to her. Otherwise, I won't be able to face Lothar in heaven!"

Bang!

A white light flashed across Yesseca's mind.

Her heart filled with guilt.

Selina was so nice to her.

How could she have ever doubted her?

How could she have done that?!

She was terribly wrong about her!

Yesseca tried her best to open her eyes.

She wanted to wake up. She wanted to tell Selina to go home and rest. Selina still had to be in confinement for another month. She shouldn't be pushing herself so hard.

It was strange. Although Yesseca couldn't open her eyes before no matter how hard she tried, she could open them this time.

In a blur, she saw Selina.

She was sitting beside her bed, dressed in her pyjamas. She was looking over with a worried look on her face.

Selina was surprised when she saw her wake up. "Yesseca, you're awake."

Yesseca's mouth was dry. "Selina..."

Selina told Kylin to pour her a glass of warm water and to bring it over.

She then fed Yesseca some warm water. "Here, have some water."

Yesseca drank the water and moistened her throat. "Sis, I'm alright. Go home. I'm fine, really." Selina hesitated, she was still very worried about her.

Yesseca added, "Sis, you're still under confinement. I can't rest easy knowing you're watching over me here. Go home,"

Matthew added, "There, Selina, Yesseca has woken up. You should go home and get some rest,"

Selina stood up. "I'll be going home then, Yesseca. Have a good rest."

Yesseca nodded.

Just as Selina and Matthew walked out of the ward, Yesseca suddenly called out to her, "Selina,"

Both of them turned around.

"Did you need something, Yesseca?" Selina asked affectionately.

Yesseca looked at her "Selina, did my brother really die out at sea? Did something really happen to his ship?"

Selina was stunned.

She never expected Yesseca to ask about this again.

After being in a short daze, she felt a sharp pain in her mouth.

The pain was so bad, Selina couldn't say anything.

Matthew replied, "Yes, Yesseca,"

Yesseca ignored him.

She looked at Selina. "Selina, is that true?"

Selina fought against the pain. "It's true."

It wasn't her intention to lie to Yesseca, but she had promised Lothar not to tell her the truth.

Hearing this, Yesseca smiled.

She nodded. "Okay, Selina."

She trusted her.

Since Selina said so, it must be true.

She didn't want to think about it anymore.

After Matthew and Selina left, Kylin brought the nurse back into the ward.

He had gone to get a nurse to measure Yesseca's temperature after he noticed that she had woken up.

Yesseca's body temperature had dropped back to normal.

Kyi in sighed with relief. "If nothing else happens, you'll be discharged from the hospital by tomorrower'il help you request for leave tomorrow so you don't have to be at work."

Yesseca shook her head. "I'll do that. You don't have to help me with that."

"Why did you suddenly have a fever?" Kylin asked, "No wonder Ifelt something was wrong with you when you got off work. I was being

careless and only found out when it was too late,"
