My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Selina smiled and replied, "It's okay, I can do it by myself."

"Let me do it," said Yesseca stubbornly as she glared at Selina's bowl.

Erine laughed and said, "Miss Whitlock, let Miss Cowell do it, you're her sister. Let her help you."

Selina gave it some thought and passed Yesseca the bowl.

Since Yesseca wanted to help her, it would be fine.

Yesseca took the bowl and felt her fingertips tremble. She nearly dropped the bowl several times, but she was careful not to. Finally, she reached the kitchen.

Yesseca filled the empty bowl with rice.

She hesitated for a moment before taking out the small bottle from her pocket.

She sprinkled the white powder from the small bottle into the food.

As Essie said, the powder was colorless and tasteless.

Yesseca took the bowl and walked out of the kitchen.

Suddenly, flashbacks were replaying in her mind.

A scene where Selina sought help from doctors.

A scene where Selina was asking how she felt.

A scene where Selina was caring for her.

Her head throbbed.

What was she doing!

Selina was her sister!

What the hell was she doing!?

Yesseca suddenly rushed to the trash can and threw the bowl into it.

Clang.

A loud sound rang throughout the room.

She threw the bowl into the trashcan, but her hands burned as if she was still holding onto it. She gasped for air.

Yesseca had not come back for a long time.

Selina asked, "Why isn't she back yet?"

Erine immediately said, "I'll go and have a look."

When she reached the kitchen, she saw Yesseca standing there with a pale face, gasping for air.

She was startled. "Miss Cowell, is everything okay? Don't scare me like that."

Yesseca looked at Erine.

She slowly came to her senses.

Her eyes fell to the trash can. "I accidentally threw the bowl into the trash can."

Erine was speechless.

It wasn't that big a deal.

Erine couldn't help but laugh. "That's just a small matter. Besides, where I come from, breaking bowls is a good thing. It's signifies good luck."

Time passed by but Kylin had not returned yet. Instead, Matthew was the one who came back.

Matthew was surprised to see Yesseca.

When Yesseca saw Matthew, she didn't want to stay any longer. She asked to leave immediately.

Selina asked Matthew to send Yesseca back, which had been Matthew's intention.

Yesseca tried to refuse but could not.

The car headed for Yesseca's residence.

"Yesseca, about what happened that day," said Matthew, but Yesseca interrupted him. "You promised me you wouldn't hurt or kill Essie."

Hearing Yesseca's words, Matthew knew that Yesseca was still tied up in her thoughts.

However, he couldn't force Yesseca to think it through completely.

Matthew said, "Yesseca, I swear to you on my character, I will not harm Essie."

Yesseca didn't say anything.

She did not believe in his words.

Swearing on his character?

Could that even be trusted?

The human heart could not be trusted, let alone its character.

Matthew wanted to say something, but Yesseca interjected, "I'm tired, I want to rest." Matthew glanced at her.

He saw the hostiliy on Yesseca's face and refrained from doing anything more.

Yesseca returned home.

She remembered something after sitting for a while at home.

She recalled how Matthew's men had been following her.

Yesseca walked to the window. She stretched her head out to see if there was anyone was trailing her. She observed everything that was happening. Yesseca saw a car parked downstairs.

It was a luxury car.

A black luxury car.

Just now, when Matthew sent Yesseca home, she was absent minded and did not notice what kind of car Matthew was driving. It was actually a black car! Yesseca's breathing quickened.

Why hadn't Matthew left yet?

Why did Matthew have to stop at her house?

What was he planning?

Could it be that he knew that Essie had come to look for her? He had intentionally stayed, hoping to kill Essie when she turned up!

Yesseca felt her hair stand on its end.

She ran downstairs.

She couldn't let Matthew do this!

Absolutely not!

She could not let Matthew hurt Essie!

Yesseca ran to he car and opened the door in one fell swoop.

The car door was unlocked and it opened directly.

When she saw the person in the car, Yesseca was stunned.

The person sitting inside was not Matthew, but

Tremaine and another man.

That man had come to see her before.

He had also let her answer Tremaine's phone.

Yesseca's head buzzed.

"What are they doing here?" she wondered.

Usually, she wouldn't react much, but now things were different. Yesterday's incident made her terrified, and she was constantly on high alert. Now in her current state, when she saw Tremaine and Sheldon, she immediately thought that they had ulterior motives by being here.

Yesseca remembered that Tremaine had installed a camera in her bedroom!

It felt as though her head was exploding.

Yesseca was sure that Tremaine was trying to spy on her again. Yesseca suddenly bent over and picked up a stone from the ground.

She picked up the stone haphazardly, but she didn't notice that it so sharp. Yesseca threw it at Tremaine's face and shouted, "Go to hell, you pervert!"

Silence.

Yesseca ran away.

The pebble hit Tremaine's face and instantly wounded him. Blood immediately trickled out from Tremaine's face.

Sheldon was scared out of his wits when he saw it happen.

Tremaine was the President of Nashaland, but now his face was ruined.

Sheldon said immediately, "Sir, I'll take you to the hospital right away, and I'll have the woman arrested immediately!"

Tremaine's face was livid. "Bring me to the hospital, but don't you lay a finger on that woman!"

Tremaine had wanted to have a talk with Yesseca today.

When he reached her home, he'd continued lingering in his car instead of getting out.

On the way here, he had wanted to see Yesseca and discuss something with her, He kept thinking about it even after he went downstairs and sat through the car ride, but soon, he saw Yesseca coming down.

She was moving fast and seemed to be very agitated.

Tremaine felt like Yesseca had noticed his car.

Yesseca's speed made Tremaine feel happy.

But his happiness went away as quickly as it

came.

Because when the car door opened, he could see clearly that Yesseca's face was not filled with excitement, but anger. She then threw a sharp pebble at his face.

He was in pain not because of the pebble, but because of Yesseca's words. Yesseca had called him a pervert.
