My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"Essie, if I give Lothar my heart back, will he come back to life?"

"Of course!" Essie replied without hesitation.

Selina's breathing quickened.

If it was true, would she return Lothar's heart?

Just a second of hesitation and Selina made up her mind.

"Then I'll return my heart to Lothar."

She was originally going to die but it was Lothar's heart that let her live on. She had accepted his heart not because she wanted Lothar to sacrifice his life so that she could live on.

It was because at that time, Lothar could not live for long.

But now Lothar could come back to life if he had his heart back.

In that case, she should return the heart to Lothar.

She did not doubt Essie's words.

Because she had witnessed Essie's power with her own eyes. It was Essie that had transplanted Lothar's heart into her chest. Besides, she'd even managed to preserve Lothar's body until now! Now that Essie mentioned that Lothar could come back to life as long as he had his heart back, Selina did not doubt her at all.

She gazed at Yesseca. "Yesseca, give my heart back to your brother. It belonged to him anyways. If he can be brought back to life with his heart back, then I'll give his heart back to him." Yesseca stopped in her tracks.

Selina's words seemed to bring her back to her senses.

There was a flash of confusion in her eyes. After a while, she looked at the knife in her hand that was shining brightly under the lights.

Clang.

The knife in Yesseca's hand fell to the ground.

The sound of the knife falling onto the ground brought her back to her senses completely.

She shook her head desperately, "I can't do this. I can't do this."

Essie yelled, "Yesseca, did you hear what had Selina said? She said she'll give her heart back to your brother! What are you waiting for?" Yesseca's expression turned agitated. "I can't do this!"

If she took Selina's heart out, then Selina would die.

She couldn't kill Selina and let her die.

Selina had done so much for her. Yesseca wasn't willing to take her life.

Essie's face turned red. "Yesseca, you're so useless. Are you going to watch your brother disappear into thin air?!"

Then, she strode over.

Essie picked up the knife from the ground.

She had waited for so long, but Yesseca refused to make a move, so she had to do it herself.

Otherwise, it would be too late.

Just as Essie walked towards Selina with the knife in her hand, Yesseca stood in front of Selina again.

This time, Essie did not manage to speak as Selina beat her to it. "Yesseca, get out of the way."

Yesseca's eyes wavered but she did not move.

Selina took a deep breath and said, "Yesseca, I was meant to die originally. Your brother gave me a chance to live a little longer. I accepted his heart previously because I knew that he only had a few more days to live. But now that your brother would come back to life if he had his heart back, so I want to give him his heart back. Get out of the way, Yesseca. I know you can't do it so let Essie do it."

Yesseca trembled even more.

Her lips were tightly closed. She did not speak, but she did not move away either.

Essie couldn't wait any longer.

She pushed Yesseca aside with one hand.

Yesseca was caught off guard and staggered a few steps to the side. Essie then raised the sharp knife in her hand and aimed it at Selina's chest.

Selina closed her eyes as she prepared to be stabbed.

However, at this moment, the door of the room was kicked open and someone barged in.

The man came in quickly and snatched the knife away from Essie's hand. Essie shouted in surprise, "Matthew Perry!"

She had already investigated and found that Matthew was away on a business trip. That was why she had put her plans into motion this day. She did not expect Matthew to show up here all of a sudden.

Matthew glanced at Essie coldly as he said, "Essie, we meet again."

Matthew hadn't gone on any business trip today.

He had found out that Essie was following him a while back.

At that time, he'd wanted to immediately catch Essie

red-handed. However, after some thinking, he decided to observe Essie further. He acted as if he had no knowledge that Essie was investigating him and fed her false information about him leaving for a business trip.

He wanted to observe what plans Essie had.

He should have actually come in long ago.

But he had been waiting outside all that time, waiting for Essie to speak more in order to figure out her intentions. However, with the

situation getting way out of hand, he couldn't wait any longer, or etse

Selina's life would be in danger.

Various emotions flashed across Essie's eyes. Then, she came to a realization all of a sudden. "You knew that I was tailing you all along. You did it on purpose!" Matthew did not speak.

His silence was his answer.

Essie felt disappointed.

She could have succeeded today, but Matthew had intervened and her plans had failed. It was now impossible for her to get Selina's heart.

Essie couldn't help but look at Lothar.

Lothar was still standing in a corner of the huge room, motionless, like a statue.

Could it be that Lothar had no more chances to be brought back to life anymore? Essie's heart ached so much as if it was being grabbed by some powerful force. She had spent so much effort but still couldn't save Lothar!

Essie's breathing quickened.

She couldn't just let things turn out that way!

She must save Lothar!

Essie's eyes suddenly turned red. She looked at Matthew and said, "Matthew, I just want to resurrect Lothar. I want Lothar to come back to life!"

After that, she pointed at Lothar and said, "Look at Lothar, he's just standing there. As long as we return his heart, he'll be able to come back to life!" Matthew looked at Lothar.

Lothar was nothing more than the walking dead.

Matthew did not know what method Essie had used to preserve Lothar's body and to even have the ability to move.

But he had heard of some kind of black magic that could manipulate the dead.

It was not surprising that Essie used such power.

Matthew then spoke in a low voice, "Essie, let the dead rest in peace. We promised to give Lothar's corpse to you, not for you to manipulate and control him."

"I'm not controlling him!" Essie yelled. "I just want him to come back to life. I want him to live again!"

"How sure are you that Lothar would come back to life if you give him his heart back?!" Matthew's gaze turned sharp.

"I'm confident! As long as I return Lothar's heart, he'll be resurrected!" Essie's eyes shone brightly.

Before Matthew could say anything, Selina spoke, "Matthew, let her take my heart. I believe she can bring Lothar back to life."

A dim light flashed across Matthew's eyes. "Selina, if she takes your heart, you will die. Think about me and our child as well."

Selina's face instantly turned pale.

She had only thought of Lothar all this while.

Since Lothar could be resurrected, she would return his heart to him.

But Matthew's words reminded her.

If she gave her heart back to Lothar, she would die.

Moreover, she had Matthew and a child. She had a family.

Essie noticed Selina's hesitation.

Essie suddenly raised her voice. "Selina, did you know? Back then, Lothar had lied to you. He had colluded with me to deceive you! The truth of the matter isn't what you think it is!" Selina froze in shock. "What do you mean?"
