My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Fortunately, the well was not too deep.

In addition, given the age of the well, the trap that was set for animals was no longer in use.

Even so, when Yesseca fell down, she hit her head and started bleeding.

After a short moment of dizziness, Yesseca got up, She tried to climb out, but even if the well wasn't deep, it was almost impossible for her to get out. In the end, she could only shout for help.

She wasn't sure if anyone could hear her. Apart from Essie, she was afraid no one else would be in the area. The chances of Essie hearing her were thin.

But no matter how slim her chances were, she had no choice but to keep on shouting for help.

No one responded to her.

Yesseca's heart sank.

If no one was coming to save her, she would likely die here.

At the thought of dying, Yesseca fell into a state of panic.

She couldn't die.

She couldn't die here.

Yesseca shouted with all her might, "Help! Help! Essie, are you there?!"

Just as Yesseca was shouting until her mouth was dry, she suddenly heard footsteps.

Yesseca felt hopeful, and shouted with her chest, "Essie, save me!"

Then, a face appeared in above her.

It was indeed Essie.

Essie rested her upper body on the edge of the well.

"Essie, please help me get out of here!" shouted Yesseca.

Essie, however, did not respond.

She stared motionlessly at Yesseca.

Yesseca became anxious. "Essie, please get me out of here!"

Essie's mouth open. "I'll save you, but if I do, you'd better remember that you owe me your life!"

After that, Essie disappeared.

A moment later, a ladder slowly descended into the well, and Yesseca used it to climb up. After getting out, she gasped for air.

Essie's face was calm. "You're injured. Let me get you some medicine."

Yesseca followed Essie to the log cabin. Essie applied medicine to Yesseca as promised.

It was some herbs that she had ground herself, but it seemed to work well. When the herbs were applied on the wounds, it felt cool and comfortable.

After the pain in her body dissipated, Yesseca hurriedly said, "Essie, I saw my brother. I saw my brother on the top of the mountain. I fell into the well because I was chasing after him!" Essie glanced at Yesseca and said nothing.

This glance caused Yesseca's heart to skip a beat.

She stared right into Essie's eyes. "Don't tell me you already knew that my brother is still alive!"

"You're hallucinating!" Essie said.

"I am not!" Yesseca raised her voice. "I'm sure I saw my brother. I saw him at my house once. My brother's face was against the window. That was not a hallucination!" Essie's voice was a little cold. "He's not your brother."

Yesseca was startled.

After a moment, she shook her head desperately.

"That's impossible, he is my brother. It's not possible for someone else to look so much like him! Essie, what do you know about this? Tell me, is my brother still alive?" Back there she had seen Lothar on the mountaintop, and now, with Essie's attitude, Yesseca felt that something was amiss.

Essie didn't answer but asked, "The bottle I gave you."

Yesseca held her breath.

She took out a small bottle from her jacket pocket and handed it to Essie. "Here you go."

"Are you sure you want to return it to me?" Essie asked.

Yesseca hesitated for a moment

before nodding. "Yesterday he... my brother-in-law came to look for me. He told me the truth. Later on, I thought about it but I couldn't blame them. After all, it was his brother who did it, not him. And the salt on the wound was that my brother could not live much longer anyway. I can't blame them."

Yesseca's last sentence sounded exceptionally dry.

Essie said coldly, "Have you ever thought that maybe he's lying to you? What he's saying isn't the truth."

Yesseca's body trembled.

She replied, "Of course not, he wouldn't lie to me!" "They've lied to you before, haven't they? Now they're coming up with stories to lie to you again." "Impossible, impossible!" Yesseca shook her head.

She didn't believe Matthew would lie to her. The reason why Matthew came to her yesterday was to tell her the whole truth. How could he lie to her? Essie sneered, "It's okay if you don't believe me. But don't give this bottle to me. Try to get Selina to consume it."

"I won't do that." Yesseca immediately said, "Are you trying to hurt her? I won't help you!"

Essie lowered her voice and said in a luring tone, "Yesseca, listen to me Find a way to get Selina to consume this. She'll listen to everything say after that. She'll do whatever want her to do!"

Yesseca felt her hair stand on end.

She stared at Essie cautiously. "What are you trying to do to her? I won't let you hurt her!"

"I'm not doing much to her." Essie looked into Yesseca's eyes as if she was looking into her heart. "I just want to get close to her and remove her heart." Yesseca suddenly stood up.

Her face was seething red. "I want to go back and tell her all about your scheme. You can't do this!"

Just when Yesseca was about to leave, Essie said, "I want her heart because I want to resurrect your brother."

It was as if Yesseca had been struck by a heavy blow, and an expression of disbelief flashed across her face. Essie also stood up.

She faced Yesseca and said, "Your

brother is indeed dead, but I can use a secret technique to resurrect him as long as you give your brother's heart back to him. And the figure you saw just now, he really is your brother. No, he is and isn't your brother."

"What exactly do you mean..." Yesseca felt her breath quicken.

Essie said slowly, "He technically isn't your brother. He is a body without a soul. Even so, I think he still wanted to see you. That was why you saw him by your window."

Yesseca's blood rushed to her head.

She wasn't hallucinating after all!

The man by the window really was her brother!

"But do you know why your brother never appeared at your house again?" Essie's eyes flashed with resentment. "It's because of Matthew.

He sent people to protect you, so I couldn't get in. Matthew was afraid that I would tell you the truth. How can you still trust him!" Yesseca took a step back.

After a while, she suddenly became agitated. "What about my brother? Where is he? I want to see him!"
