My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Things could go out of hand if Essie were just let free to do what she wanted.

Selina had to snatch the knife out of Essie's grasp.

But she had no energy whatsoever.

She couldn't even stand up, let alone snatch the knife from Essie.

She felt as if her whole body had been turned into a puddle of water.

Just as Essie was closing in onto Selina, Yesseca cried out at once, "Stop, Essie! You can't hurt Selina!"

Essie's gaze was fierce as she glared at Yesseca. "How dare you protect her even now? Didn't I say that she killed your brother? She's your brother's murderer!" Yesseca's eyelashes trembled even more.

It was flittering and fluttering heavily like a butterfly patting its wings hardly when it was about to drown.

Yesseca looked at Essie and said, "Essie, I trust Selina."

Essie stared at Yesseca. "What did you say?"

Yesseca emphasized each word again, "I believe in Selina. My brother once told me that Selina was the best person in the world, so I believe her."

"Yesseca, you really are blind and an imbecile! She killed your brother, and yet you still trust her!" Essie was yelling madly, "Do you even know that everything she's doing and saying is all an act? She's faking everything. She's not the good person you think she is. She doesn't deserve your trust."

Yesseca's breathing was a little disordered, but she still tried to speak clearly, "Essie, I was a sick child since I was young. I stayed in the hospital for half my life. It was Selina that helped me find a doctor so that I could be saved. After my brother passed away, she continued to take care of me. She treats me like her sister. I don't believe that everything she did is fake because you can't fake such sincere kindness and care for someone. I believe she was sincere to me all along."

After hearing Yesseca's words, Essie's expression darkened. "Do you mean to say that I'm the one that is lying to you?"

Yesseca said nothing.

After a moment of silence, she gave Essie a deep look. "Essie, I trust Selina."

She did not answer Essie's question directly, but her lack of answer clearly stated her stance.

She believed Selina.

Essie sneered.

She knew that it was useless to say anything more.

Because Yesseca was simply an idiot.

An idiot like her brother.

For the sake of Selina, Lothar could sacrifice his own life, and Yesseca could disregard her brother. Fine!

That was totally great!

Wasn't Yesseca going to disregard her brother?!

Then she would let Yesseca take a good look at her own brother.

Would she really remain unmoved seeing her brother standing in front of her?

Essie suddenly whistled.

That whistle was shrill and mysterious, making people feel goosebumps hearing it.

Essie then opened the door of the room.

A man walked in.

No, he wasn't walking.

He had jumped in.

Just like how zombies jumped in movies.

Both Selina and Yesseca were speechless seeing the man jumping in.

This was because even though the man's face was extremely pale and his eyes were as if they were fake, they could still recognize that he was Lothar. "Lothar!"

"Brother!"

Both the women's voices rang out in the room.

Selina's heart was beating violently, and her tears had almost fallen.

She didn't expect to see Lothar again.

Not in this lifetime.

She wanted to stand up, walk over and touch him to be sure that he was real and not just an illusion. However, she was drained of energy.

No matter how much she wanted to move, she just couldn't.

Yesseca on the other hand ran over to her brother.

Her hand fell on Lothar's face.

It was real. She could feel his flesh.

But there wasn't the slightest warmth in his face. His skin was just sticking to his bone frame without any elasticity. The feel of touching his flesh wasn't human at all. But Yesseca didn't care.

Because Lothar was indeed standing in front of her.

It wasn't air!

It was not an illusion!

"Brother!" Yesseca muttered. Then, she suddenly burst into tears. "Brother, it's really you. I thought I would never be able to see you again. Oh gosh, it's really you!" Lothar did not respond.

He stood still like a sculpture.

Yesseca then hugged Lothar. "Brother, I'm Yesseca. Oh, brother. I missed you so much..."

Bong!

After a strange-sounding whistle, Lothar suddenly took a step back and Yesseca was hugging air.

Yesseca was about to step forward when Essie stopped her.

"Get out of my way." Yesseca was about to push Essie away.

Essie said coldly, "You want to hug your brother, right? I'm telling you, Yesseca. You won't be able to hold him for long, because your brother will turn into ashes soon." Yesseca was shocked.

Essie continued, "You should know

that your brother is now a dead man. Only I can resurrect him. If you don'Dreturn your brother's heart, he'll be completely gone from this world."

Yesseca's face turned pale.

She shook her head desperately. "I don't want my brother to disappear. I can't let him disappear."

It was not easy for her to finally be able to meet her brother that she missed so much again. How could she let her brother disappear just like this for the second time?

Essie handed the knife to her and

said in a voice that was soothing but

laced with control, "You don't want your brother to disappear, right? Then, go! Get Selina's heart out of her chest. Use this knife to get her heart out. That heart belongs to your brother in the first place. We're just returning it back to its rightful owner. Your brother can be resurrected once you do that."

Yesseca subconsciously staggered backward.

"Do you want your brother to disappear from this world?!" Essie suddenly raised her voice.

"I don't want to!"

Essie stepped forward again and handed over the knife. "That's right. Take this. As long as you return your brother's heart, he will come back to life. He would no longer be the always be

walking dead. He would al

with you like he was in the past."

"Always with me," Yesseça

murmured.

"Yes, always with you, just like in the past, just like your brother has never left your side. He will always be with you."

Following Essie's words, a fragment of memory appeared in Yesseca's mind.

Lothar was grinning widely as he spoke to her.

It was such a beautiful scene.

If she could really bring that back, she was willing to pay everything for it.

In a muddle, Yesseca took the knife.

A glint flashed in Essie's eyes.

She pointed at Selina and ordered, "Just walk over there, Yesseca. Push the knife down and get your brother's heart out. Once you do that, your brother will be resurrected."

Yesseca slowly fixed her gaze on Selina.

Selina cried out at the same time.
