My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

All of a sudden, her longing for Lothar overwhelmed her.

Essie had told her before that she would be able to see Lothar. Not just a body without a soul, but him as a living breathing human.

Too many things had happened the day before that resulted in her pushing away her thoughts about Lothar, however Preslie's words had now caused such thoughts to rise again within her.

She suddenly did not want to think about who was telling the truth

She only had one thought in her mind, which was to see Lothar.

She couldn't wait to see him.

Yesseca didn't have the time to eat.

She suddenly stood up and said, "Preslie, please ask for leave for me. I need to go."

After saying that, Yesseca left.

Preslie was taken aback.

She thought to herself, "What's wrong with Yesseca lately? Why does she keep asking for leave?"

Yesseca went back to the mountaintop.

She saw Essie.

Essie was preparing a fire in the cabin.

The current weather wasn't considered cold, but it was particularly chilly on the mountaintop. Essie decided to be prepared.

She was flowing through the stream of her thoughts while setting the fire when she saw Yesseca come in.

Essie became excited. "Did you give the medicine to Selina?"

Instead of answering Essie, Yesseca anxiously said, "I want to see my brother. Please let me see him, Essie."

Essie's excitement faded away.

Yesseca was too simple-minded. Her eyes were so clear, a simple glance would be able to tell anyone what she was thinking of.

Such as now, after listening to Yesseca's words, Essie knew that she had not fed the contents of the bottle to Selina.

Essie sat down again. "I can't let you see your brother. He's just a body without a soul, there's nothing to see."

Yesseca was short of breath. "No, even if it's just a body without a soul, I still want to see him. Essie, please let me see him!" "No." Essie looked at Yesseca coldly. "I promised to let you see him if you gave Selina the medicine. I would let you see the real him, not just his soulless corpse."

Yesseca bit her lip. "Essie, I can't do this. She saved my life, I can't do this to her!"

"You can't do it even though she took your brother's life?" shouted Essie. Yesseca bit her lip even harder.

She couldn't respond.

Essie looked at Yesseca with contempt. "If that's the case, don't expect to see your brother. Since you didn't give Selina the medicine, I'll never let you see him. I won't even let you see his soulless body. Lothar doesn't need a sister like you!" Her words hurt Yesseca.

"Essie, you don't have the right to do this! He's my brother. Why can't you let me see my brother? Why?!" she shrieked.

"Because!" Essie looked at Yesseca with a sharp gaze. "If it wasn't for me, Essie, your brother would have turned into dirt. I was the one who preserved his body." Yesseca deflated.

She stared blankly at Essie.

After a moment of silence, her voice was stained with a tearful tone. "Essie, please let me see him. It doesn't matter what you told me, I can't do what you want me to. Selina saved me, I can't kill her. I know that if I give the medicine to her, something will happen to her heart. Without a heart, she will die, and I can't hurt her..."

"But she killed your brother, didn't she?" Essie glared at Yesseca.

Yesseca took a step back. She didn't answer Essie's question but shook her head desperately. "I can't do it, Essie. I really can't do it. When I had a fever, she came to see me even after giving birth, Essie, I can't..."

Yesseca was almost incoherent towards the end.

Essie could not stand Yesseca like this.

She stood up again. "How could Lothar have such an incompetent sister like you!"

She shouted and walked out of the log cabin. Yesseca followed her. "Essie, let me see my brother!"

Essie suddenly stopped when she stepped outside the wooden cabin.

She noticed something felt unusual.

She raised her voice and said, "Who's there?"

Hansen and a group of his subordinates were hiding in the shadows. Upon hearing Essie's

oice, a man said in a low voice,

voice, a

"Boss, what should we do? That woman has discovered us.

Hansen made a prompt decision. "We discovered her just in time. We'll surround her right now!" After that, Hansen whistled and a group of people immediately formed a circle to surround Essie. Yesseca was shocked by the situation.

What was going on?

Wasn't Essie supposed to be the only one on the mountaintop?

How did all of them appear like this? They all looked so strong!

Essie looked coldly at the crowd surrounding her. "You're Matthew's men!"

Hansen raised his voice and said, "Since you already know we are, why not come with us and see him!"

Essie turned to look at Yesseca.

"Yesseca, not only are you incompetent, but you've also

betrayed me! You actually brought Matthew's men to arrest me!"

Bang!

Yesseca felt as though she had been hit in the head.

They were Matthew's men!

"How is this possible?" she thought to herself.

She shook her head instinctively. "No, I wasn't aware about any of this!"

Essie pointed to Hansen's group. "What's going on here? No one should have been able to locate my whereabouts!"

Yesseca's head buzzed.

She suddenly recalled something.

She'd felt like she was hearing faint footsteps behind her when she went up the mountain.

At that time, however, she only wanted to see Lothar and paid no attention to it.

And now...

Cold sweat formed on Yesseca's forehead.

Were they following her?

"Essie, you're coming with us to see our boss!" Seeing as Essie refused to move, Hansen shouted and began inching closer towards her.

A light flashed in Essie's eyes. In a split second, she made a dash to her right.

On the right flank stood a man with a crew cut.

He looked to be the youngest and the most vulnerable. Essie rushed towards him without warning, trying to knock him over. The man with the crew cut seemed to be their weakest link, and she was going to use him to her advantage.

Essie took him down.

But thanks to his fast instincts, he stood back up in a blink.

He quickly pulled out a gun.
