Chapter 1718
She looked at Kylin, and Kyi in was looking right at her, his gaze clear with a faint smile.
Suddenly, a warm sensation swept across Yesseca's heart.
Yesseca nodded.
Kylin took a piece of milk candy, unwrapped the wrapper, and put the candy into Yesseca's mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Kylin asked Yesseca with a smile.
The thick aroma of milk spread through her mouth.
Yesseca pointed at the sky and said, "It is nice. But how did you do all this? How could the sky rain so much candy?"
"I arranged for a plane," Kylin said.
"But I didn't see any plane," Yesseca was surprised.
Kylin smiled, "If you saw the plane, then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore."
Yesseca was speechless.
Kylin stared at Yesseca thoughtfully, "Yesseca, I could feel your unhappiness these days, so I hope that what I've arranged is enough to cheer you up." "Kylin, thank you," Yesseca knew that it took a lot of effort to arrange such an extensive firework show and candy rain. "Don't sweat it. As long as you're happy."
Yesseca didn't speak further.
Warmth flowed through Yesseca's heart.
Kyi in's voice was gentle. "Rest. I hope your dreams are as sweet as the candy you ate."
Yesseca nodded.
But she didn't leave immediately.
She looked up at Kylin thoughtfully, "Kylin, you are really a good person, one-of-a-kind."
Kylin laughed and said, "How am I one-of-a-kind? There are a lot of good people in the world. I'm not that special."
Yesseca shook her head stubbornly.
She said, "No, you are. There are not so many great people in the world. They are just wolves in sheep's clothing."
Kylin didn't understand why Yesseca had such an idea.
To his knowledge, someone as innocent as Yesseca would believe that the world was full of good people. She should not wary of anyone. "Why do you think that?" Kylin asked.
Yesseca's eyes drooped.
Those long and thick eyelashes were gently trembling over her eyelids, "Because the human heart is the scariest thing in the world."
Although her eyes were downcast, Kylin still saw a flash of horror in Yesseca's eyes when she said this.
Thinking of how unusually Yesseca had been behaving, Kylin wondered if anything terrible had happened to Yesseca recently for her to feel this way.
He said in a softer voice, "Yesseca, the human heart may be scary, but at the same time, the best of the best also come from our human nature."
Yesseca looked up at Kylin.
Kylin spoke softly but firmly, "Yesseca, there are both good and bad people in the world. However, there are more good people. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos. The human heart is not really as terrible as you think." "Really?" Yesseca muttered.
"Of course." Kylin said, "Believe me!"
Throughout the entire way home, Kyi in's words were still ringing in Yesseca's ears. She could still taste the sweetness of the candy in her mouth until someone knocked at her door.
She opened the door and saw a delivery man by the door.
This time, Yesseca didn't wait for the person to speak and let her in.
The delivery man took off her cap and mask. Sure enough, it was Essie.
Essie stared into Yesseca's eyes. "Have you used the potion I gave you on Selina?"
Yesseca remained silent.
"I knew it," Essie said coldly. "You're such an incompetent woman!"
Essie suddenly took out her phone and played a video, "Watch it yourself."
Yesseca took a glance and was stunned.
It was her brother in the video.
She brought the phone over, staring straight at it. Her face was practically glued to the phone.
The screen was clear. The man in it was Lothar.
He was in a forest.
His face was pale, his eyes were turbid.
This video only lasted for three seconds. Yesseca kept playing it back until Essie snatched the phone away. "Give it to me!" Yesseca shouted.
Essie sneered, "Do you want to see more of this? If you don't give Selina the potion, you won't get to see more." Yesseca was heaving.
A dark light flashed across Essie's eyes. "And you won't be able to see any of it anymore! Let me tell you, Yesseca Your brother won't survive for long with my poison in him. If your brother doesn't get his heart back, his body will start to
decompose. He won't last past three
days."
Yesseca's entire body trembled in shock.
Essie inched closer, "I'm saying that you won't be able to see your brother anymore. Not even his dead body."
"Then what can I do? What should I do?" seca muttered.
Essie raised her voice, "Simple. Get your brother's heart back."
Yesseca was silent.
Essie continued, "I know something. Matthew will be out of town two
days from now. He'll be leaving the country. Then, you can ask Selina
out and poison her. That's all you have to do. After that, you can leave the rest to me. This is your last chance, Yesseca. If you miss this chance, you won't be able to see your brother anymore. Your brother will be gone forever."
Yesseca's face was drained of color.
Essie stared into Yesseca's eyes. "Remember to ask Selina out two days from now. Remember, what Selina made you feel was just a facade. She's the bad person here. If not, she wouldn't steal your brother's heart and let your brother die. And don't forget about what Matthew did that day. He tried to kill you and me. Matthew and Selina are a married couple. Do you think Selina would not know Matthew's every move?"
Yesseca's head was throbbing.
"Remember, everything about Selina is not real. Even her good side is not real. Two days from now is your last chance." Saying that, Essie gave Yesseca a deep look then walked away. Tremaine returned home to the Quartley family villa.
The doctor came over to give Tremaine treatment.
Little did he expect Madam Quartley to witness everything.
She was shocked. "What happened to you, Tremaine? Why is your face injured? Was it from one of your political rivals? How could there be so much blood..."
Tremaine felt overwhelmed by Madam Quartley's
response.
If he had known that Madam Quartley would see his injuries, he wouldn't have come back home to get treatment.
Tremaine waved his hand in dismissal and said, "It's nothing. I got into an accident."
Madam Quartley didn't believe it.
She glanced at Sheldon.
Sheldon obviously wouldn't say anything about it under Tremaine's orders. He glanced down, avoiding Madam Quartley's gaze.
"Tremaine, how did you get these injuries? It must have been one of your rivals, I know you have a lot of people going against you? After all, you're so young."
"Grandma, you're overthinking," Tremaine said faintly, "Go and get some rest. It's not what you think."
Madam Quartley was about to say something but stopped herself.
She glanced at Tremaine and said, "Rest well. I'm going to bed too."
After that, Madam Quartley went out.
She didn't go far. She stopped by the door and immediately glued her ears to the door.
