My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Yesseca took a deep breath.

She stood up. "I'm fine. I'm just in a bad mood. I appreciate your kindness. Rest assured, I'll be fine after some good sleep." "That's good. I'm glad you're all right."

Later, Kyi in served his dishes.

Kylin was very skilled at cooking. Everything tasted delicious.

He even added more food to Yesseca and Preslie's plate.

He was so considerate and modest that it made Preslie incredibly envious.

She smiled at Yesseca and said, "Look, you're really blessed."

Yesseca forced a smile.

Preslie particularly enjoyed a specific dish.

She asked, "Hey, handsome, why are you so good at cooking? I thought men couldn't cook."

Kylin said gently, "I used to stay in the United States. After I came back, I wanted to try to recreate a few dishes myself."

Preslie understood.

She gave Kylin a thumbs-up and elbowed Yesseca. "Yesseca, your boyfriend really is something."

After their meal, Preslie had to go to work.

Fortunately, Yesseca's condition was much better than before, so Preslie left feeling relieved.

Before she made her exit, she repeatedly reminded Yesseca to be optimistic. She promised that she would visit her the next day.

Yesseca said, "Don't take a leave just to see me, I'll come to work."

Preslie hesitated. "You're going to work so soon?"

Yesseca nodded.

Her pain was only temporary, not forever. She had to recover no matter how much it was hurting. Otherwise, it would only make her feel even worse. She had to go to work to clear her head. Preslie felt even more comforted knowing that Yesseca could go to work the next day. After chatting a bit longer, she left.

Only Kylin and Yesseca were left in the room.

It was fine when Preslie was around, but it was rather awkward for a man and woman to be alone. Although they were a couple, Kylin felt like they shouldn't be careful not to rouse talk.

He asked Yesseca for her thoughts. "Do you want me to stay here with you, or would you prefer to rest by yourself?"

Yesseca said, "I'll rest by myself. Kyi in, you should go home. You must be tired."

"Well, call me if you need anything. Don't make it impossible for me to contact you again," said Kylin.

In actuality, there were many things that he wanted to ask Yesseca, questions such as what happened to her, or where she went early in the morning. But he respected her privacy. He did not want to probe any further. After Kylin left, Yesseca returned to her bedroom.

She took out a small bottle from her pocket.

It was the bottle that Essie had given her.

After staring at the bottle for a full minute, Yesseca placed the bottle under the bed and went to the bathroom. She took a warm bath.

When her cold body was submerged in hot water, she felt increasingly better.

An hour later, Yesseca came out of the bathroom and was about to go to bed.

She would always be in a better mood after a long rest.

She hoped she wouldn't be sad after some good sleep. She had to keep her mind sober and mull things over.

Just as she was about to sleep, she heard someone knocking on the door.

It was Matthew.

He had arranged for people to guard the entrance of Yesseca's neighborhood. When he saw Kylin and Preslie leave, he immediately went over. The door opened.

When Yesseca saw that it was Matthew, she was taken aback.

A moment later, she opened her mouth.

She was about to say the words "brother-in-law", but she swallowed it abruptly.

Yesseca fell silent.

"Yesseca, let's have a chat. I have something to tell you," Matthew said.

After all, it wasn't convenient to discuss it in Yesseca's home.

"Hold on for a moment." Yesseca closed the door.

She returned to the bedroom and changed from her pajamas into a set of clothes suitable for going out. Before leaving, she bent down and took out the small bottle from under the bed. After glancing at it, she stuffed the small bottle bact-k beneath the bed before heading out.

Matthew drove Yesseca to a cafe.

The two of them entered a private room with no one around.

Matthew ordered two cups pf coffee.

"The coffee here is good. Selina likes it very much." Matthew opened his mouth and took a sip. Yesseca didn't say anything.

After glancing at Yesseca, Matthew changed the topic. "Yesseca, where did you go this morning? Kyi in and were looking for you, but we could not find you. We couldn't even contact you. Can you tell me where you went?"

Yesseca still did not respond, keeping her mouth shut.

Matthew decided to get straight to the point. He said straightforwardly, "Yesseca, you asked me last night if Lothar died at sea. I said that he had not. You asked me if he gave his heart to Selina. I replied yes, do you remember?"

Yesseca finally reacted.

Her body shuddered and her face turned pale as she looked at Matthew.

Of course she remembered!

How could she forget!

Those words cut her heart like knives, and it left a gaping wound in her chest.

"Yesseca, do you know where I'm getting at with all these questions?" Matthew stared at Yesseca.

Yesseca's lips trembled.

"Then I'll tell you the ins and outs of what happened," said Matthew.

After half an hour, Matthew finally finished explaining. He tried his best to tell Yesseca every detail and spoke without leaving anything out. Yesseca could only feel like she was hearing a very long story.

The story was very bizarre and inconceivable. It sounded like a plot from a movie.

However, it was not a movie, but something that had happened to her own brother.

It was as if there was a huge clock that throbbed in her mind, making her feel a headache.

She felt cold. Her feelings were frozen, and her mind was numb. It was as though her heart had fallen into a bottomless, icy ocean.

"Yesseca, say something," Matthew said. "You have been silent since the beginning. If you have any questions, just ask away. I came to tell you the truth to help you understand everything." Yesseca's eyes quivered. "It feels like everything's so confusing."

Her mind was in a chaotic state, and she did not know what to say.

She couldn't understand what Matthew had just told her.

"Then tell me, did anyone tell you something?" asked Matthew.

Otherwise, Yesseca would not have asked those questions last night. Yesseca was stunned.

As she looked at Matthew, there was a hint of defensiveness in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me." Matthew decided not to make things difficult for Yesseca. "But no matter who informed you about this, it's not true. You're being misled."

"Then that could only mean that what you're saying is all true."

"Yes, Yesseca, what I've just told you is nothing but the truth."

"She, she took away my brother's heart." After a moment, Yesseca spoke up again.

The "she" Yesseca was referring to was none other than Selina.
