My Heart only Beats for You

He wanted to confess everything to Selina.

Even though he knew that this would embarrass him and even ruin his friendship with Selina, he had no choice but to do so for Yesseca's sake. Lothar arrived at the hospital.

He made his way to Matthew's ward.

The door was ajar. Lothar was about to enter but what cinto his sight halted him in his tracks.

Through the crack of the door, he saw two people kissing.

It was Matthew and Selina.

They were locked in a tight embrace, kissing passionately.

Lothar's felt his heart drop.

He knew that Matthew and Selina were a couple. Of course they would be more intimate, let alone just kissing.

However, watching them together was like a slap of reality.

Lothar immediately turned around and leaned against the wall.

He didn't want to interrupt them.

However, the wait was unexpectedly difficult for him.

It was as if a raging fire had engulfed his entire being, burning him to the core.

He wondered how would Selina react if he were to confess to her right then.

She would be shocked, angry, and even disappointed! He guessed that Selina didn't have any friends as she was always by herself. Furthermore, she would always cto him whenever she was feeling down.

Selina must think of him as her best friend.

However, if she knew that her best friend was harboring different thoughts about her, she would be heartbroken.

Lothar's heart ached when he thought of how miserable Selina would be.

The pain was unbearable.

Lothar clenched his fists tightly.

He was a grown man.

He should be able to protect the people he loved.

Except he had failed miserably.

At first, he'd only befriended Selina for Reid's money.

He even planned to seek Selina out to beg her to save his sister.

How could he do this! He was an honorable and dignified man! How could he be so despicable! He should have handled Yesseca's matters by himself, but instead, he was planning on relying on Selina! Lothar gritted his teeth in anger.

He absolutely loathed himself for being so weak.

After taking a few moments to collect his thoughts, he finally made up his mind.

He hurriedly left the hospital.

Matthew and Selina finally ended their kiss.

They rested their forehead against each other.

They were savoring what little tthey had together as Matthew would be discharged from the hospital later that night.

For most people, that would be great news.

However, for the two of them, it wasn't something to celebrate about.

Saoirse had left Matthew alone since their last encounter went south.

However, now that Matthew was discharged, Saoirse would no longer have any apprehensions. She would definitely cfor Matthew again. When Selina realized that this was their last few moments of peace, mixed feelings began to grow in her.

They could only seek comfort in each other arms.

Tslowly passed, and the night had finally arrived.

The driver had cto pick them up.

Matthew and Selina got into the car.

They remained silent throughout the car ride but their hands were tightly interwined.

When they arrived home, Erine welcomed them with a table of delicious food.

She didn't probe around for answers, only coaxing them to have more food.

"The tomatoes in the garden were used to make this tomato soup, they are exceptionally fresh so the soup will definitely be delicious," Erine said.

Selina burst into laughter after staring at the soup.

This was the first tshe had laughed after such a long day.

Matthew's gaze fell on Selina.

His mood had lightened considerably after seeing her smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Matthew raised his eyebrows.

"I just couldn't believe that there's actually a vegetable garden here. Who would have thought that the esteemed Mr. Perry actually planted vegetables in his garden. It's really funny, don't you think so?," Selina said while taking a sip of the soup.

The soup indeed tasted delicious.

Matthew's eyes flashed with emotions.

"Now that I think about it, the days back then were really different," Matthew exclaimed.

"Oh yes," Selina said meaningfully.

"At that time, all I was thinking about was how to pester you. I had cup with many ideas, and making you plant vegetables was only one of them," Selina said.

"Unfortunately for you, it seems that this was only a blessing," Matthew countered.

Prine left quietly after seeing that Selina and Matthew were chatting away happily. Upon hearing his remark, the corners of Selina's lips lifted. "You're not the only one who was blessed with delicious food. I got to enjoy sof it too," she said.

"Selina," Matthew sighed, "We have already been through so much together, I believe there is nothing we can't overcome." Selina stared at the soup in front of her.

It was as if the tomatoes had transformed into countless tiny people, each of them cheering her on.

She looked up at Matthew, "Yes, we have already gone through so much. We will definitely overcthis." "I am taking a day off tomorrow," Matthew suddenly said.

Selina's eyes widened with surprise, "Why though? You haven't been to the company for stime, your work must be piling up by now." He gave her a longing look, "I want to spend the day with you tomorrow. I really miss our ttogether." "But are we still allowed to enjoy ourselves at a tlike this?" Selina muttered.

"Of course we are, our happiness comes first," Matthew replied.

Selina thought about it for a while, "It's a date then," she agreed with a smile.

"Have you decided where you want to go?" Matthew asked.

Selina's eyes gleamed, "Is it okay if we watch a movie, dine in a om restaurant visit the park, and go shopping?" she rattled off her list with excitement. "Whatever you want," Matthew said with a gentle smile.

The next day.

Selina and Matthew woke up early.

Both of them were looking forward to spend the whole day together.

After all, there weren't many days like this where they could relax.

They first went out to get sbreakfast.

There was a very famous breakfast shop that had just opened in the area.

They waited in line just like everyone else, wanting to experience snormalcy for once. While waiting, Selina hugged Matthew from behind.

She rested her head on his back.

The morning air was fresh against her face, noting the start of a wonderful day After breakfast, they went to catch a movie.

It was a popular blockbuster that was shown in the cinemas recently.

They sat in the back of the room as the theatre was crowded with people.

She leaned her head on Matthew's shoulder while he interlocked their fingers.

At the end of the movie, the leading actor and actress began to kissm Feeling the mood, Matthew raised Selina's chin and covered her lips with his. Selina was quite embarrassed at first and tried to push him away.

She was rather hesitant to display their affection publicly.

However, Matthew was adamant on kissing her.

She soon surrendered and gave in to him.

A day like this was so rare and precious, she just wanted to indulge herself.

She didn't want to ruin the day with thoughts of Saoirse and Cecilia.
