My Heart only Beats for You

Matthew did not say a word.

The longer Selina stared at him, the redder the rims of her eyes became.

A hint of mist gradually clouded her eyes, hiding her misery, grievances, and dread. It made her inky dark eyes appeared even murkier.

After sthad passed, Matthew finally broke the silence and said, "Selina, sparesof your time. Let's have a good talk with each other." "No!" She adamantly refused his offer, "I have nothing to say to you. Leave!" Matthew's feet did not move at her command.

She chuckled darkly at this, "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!" After saying that, she stood up and strode off.

Matthew quickly blocked her path, "Selina, please listen to my explanation." She just roughly hit away his outreaching hands.

In a snap of a second, Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist and embraced her.

This left her in quite a bit of shock.

Matthew then put his chin against her forehead and said in a husky tone, "Listen to me." "I don't need to!" Selina fiercely resisted his hug. Her dainty face was veiled with a layer of frostiness, making her appear extremely frigid.

She cried out to Lothar who was standing by the sidelines, "Lothar, what on earth are you waiting for? Cand givea hand!" Her cries helped Lothar snapped back to reality.

He rushed forward, but was unsure of how to help.

Matthew casted a dark glance at him, his gaze filled with boundless intimidation.

His glare halted Lothar's breath.

All of a sudden, Selina sunk her teeth into Matthew's shoulder hard. The sharp pain caused Matthew to released his grasp on Selina. Selina's voice rang with fury and humiliation, "I don't want to listen to a single word you have to say. Just get out!" She had yelled at him to get out.

Her words had drained all the colour from Matthew's handsface.

Seconds which felt like hours passed before he finally looked back at her and said, "Okay, I'll go." And with that, he turned around and left.

Selina stood still, gazing at his departing figure. When he was gone at last, her tears started to pour down her face once more.

Seeing Selina sobbing hard, Lothar felt an unbearable pain in his heart. "Didn't you want him to leave? Why are you still crying now that he has done what you asked for?" Lothar whispered. Hearing this, Selina promptly rolled up her sleeves.

There was a scar on her fair arm.

This gave Lothar quite a fright, "How did this happened? Lets go have a doctor look at it for you!" Selina shook her head.

She sobbed and said, "The scar cabout when I went to look for him that night. There are scars on his arm too. Do you know why he has them too?" Lothar did not reply.

Therefore, she carried on with her story, "At that time, I threw a cup of hot tea at both him and that woman. He got those scars by shielding the woman. Lothar, do you know both of us have scars on our arms?' This left in him in a momentary daze.

He then brought her to Yesseca's ward.

Selina was at a lost at that time, so she simply tagged along with him.

On the other hand, Yesseca was very happy to see Selina.

Yesseca's big, bright eyes were wide open as she exclaimed, "Selina, you cto seeagain!" Upon seeing Yesseca, Selina felt as if her frozen heart melted a little.

Suppressing her sadness, Selina answered, "Yes, I cto visit you." "Please sit," Yesseca said, beckoning for Selina to sit at the chair beside the bed.

Selina sat down without hesitation.

Lothar stood at the side and joked, "Yesseca, you have apparently forgotten about your older brother the moment you saw Selina." Blinking her wide eyes, Yesseca countered, "It's rare for Miss Whitlock to cover, so I naturally treat her with higher regard." This made Lothar smile, "You guys can have a chat first. I'll go cut sapples for you both to snack on." Before he left, he casted a glance at Selina. He noticed that despite her no longer crying, she still appeared vaguely preoccupied. This sight made him sigh inwardly to himself.

He hoped that she would cheer up after having a good chat with Yesseca.

Yesseca asked Selina in an excited manner, "Beautiful Selina, do you like the flowers I made for you?" Selina was still unfamiliar with her calling her "Beautiful".

She forced herself to smile and said, "It would be better if you addressas Miss Whitlock." "Alright then," Yesseca straightforwardly replied, "But you're really beautiful." In the past, Yesseca's compliments would absolutely delight her.

But now, no matter what compliments she received, she still could not bring herself to be happy.

Sitting and chatting with Yesseca was a way for Selina to relieve her emotional burdens. She did not want to obsess over Matthew and that woman of his. She was worried that she would go insane if she did. Then, Yesseca abruptly asked her something, "Miss Whitlock, are you unhappy about something?" She had sensed Selina's reluctance behind her forced smile.

Selina was surprised to hear this question.

She didn't want Yesseca to be worried about her especially since Yesseca had herself to take care of.

In a small voice, she said, "No, I'm just feeling a little depressed." A mellow light passed through Yesseca's eyes at her confession, "Miss Whitlock, don't feel so down. If I were you, I would try to enjoy myself each and every day." "Really?" A hint of melancholy flashed through Selina's eyes.

Yesseca nodded eagerly, "Miss Whitlock, I had already really liked you when I met you the very first time. Do you know why?" Selina couldn't help but asked, "Why?"

Yesseca's face was filled with undisguised yearning as she said, "It was because you're the kind of e.

m person Nwant to live like. You're so energetic and lovely. It's what I dreamt of being like." Selina felt her breathing stopped at this. After a while, she softly replied, "You are very beautiful too."

Yesseca smiled at her, but there was a hint of gloom behind her eyes at that moment, "Nevertheless, Paon't have any vitality. Ever since I can remember, I've been sick and going to the hospital. And now I have to lie in bed every day."

As the sensitive topic had been brought up, Vesseca suddenly turned onto her side and looked out of the window with a slight fixation in her eyes, "Miss Whitlock, in fact, I want to go out for a walk as well, and not just be bound to this bed. Such a life would be so good." Yesseca's words shocked Selina to her core.

An indescribable emotion overwhelmed her entire body.

"Yesseca, you will be able to. You will definitely be able to," Selina replied.

Yesseca turned to face Selina, "Really?" "Yes, really," Selina said firmly.

A moment later, Lothar cin with scut fruits and the three of them ate together. The ward was filled with laughter.

Of course, all this laughter belonged to Lothar and Yesseca.

They chatted, bringing up interesting events and laughing out loud.

Selina just sat in silence, and listened in on their conversation.

Tpassed and soon it was getting late. Yesseca was starting to get tired and needed to rest, so Selina left with Lothar.

Once out of the ward, the smile on Lothar's face disappeared.

He felt sorry for Selina to have to encounter such matter. He knew how hard it must have been for Selina to have to put on a cheerful front in front of Yesseca when she was already at her lowest.

As soon as they cout of the ward, Lothar whispered, "Look Selina, my sister works so hard to live each day happily and choose to stay positive every moment. You're in a much better condition than she is so you should live happily too." Selina pressed her lips together and said nothing.

Lothar then added, "Every cloud has a silver lining. Things will not stink like this forever. It's just a matter of tbefore things get better again. So cheer up." Such simple words.

Yet full of meaning. Upon hearing Lothar's words, Selina wanted to cry.
