My Heart only Beats for You

"Hello," she greeted gently.

It was only a short period of tthat they had not contacted each other, but Selina felt like it had been tens of thousands of years.

"Selina, how are you?" The man's low voice was heard through the phone.

It was a very attractive male bass voice, full of projection power.

She did not know why but she suddenly choked up. "I'm fine." Matthew heard Selina's choked voice. He said in an anxious tone, "What's wrong, Selina?" Selina took a deep breath.

She tried to make her voice sound normal. "Nothing. It's just that my throat hasn't been very well these past two days. Perhaps it's because I ate too much spicy food." "You should eat less spicy food." "Okay." Selina said, "I went back to the Perry family estate. Do you know that the vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing really well? Prine has even cooked them for me. They were very delicious." After a pause, she said faintly, "You should try them when you cback." The breathing on the other end of the line had gotten heavier.

"Okay, wait forto cback and I'll taste it then." Matthew put down the phone in his hand.

At this moment, he and Saoirse had already arrived at the town that she had mentioned.

The town's population was very small, but the scenery was extremely beautiful.

Furthermore, the house that they were at was the shthat Saoirse's mother used to live in. There was no one living in the house anymore, but fortunately, the water and electricity could still be used as usual, and the house was also clean and tidy.

For dinner, Matthew planned to cook for Saoirse personally.

Although he and Saoirse didn't have any mutual feelings, they were still husband and wife in name. Moreover, he had never cooked for her before.

The dishes he cooked were simple. They were all prepared in less than thirty minutes.

"Have a taste. What do you think?" Matthew said to Saoirse.

After a bite, a smile appeared on the corners of Saoirse's lips. "It tastes good. William, this is the first tyou've made something forto eat. I didn't expect that I'd be able to taste your cooking at the last moments of my life." Matthew felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.

He tried to make his voice sound as light as possible. "Since it's delicious, you should eat more." After dinner, Saoirse asked Matthew to accompany her for a stroll, to which Matthew agreed.

As they were walking, Saoirse told Matthew all kinds of things that happened when she was with her mother here as a child.

"When I was a child, I stayed here for a long time. Many of the old neighbors knew me, but now these neighbors are all gone. I guess they have all moved away." While they were talking, an old person with blond hair and blue eyes cover.

She noticed that it was Saoirse, thus she stopped in her tracks.

"Are you Saoirse?" she asked.

Saoirse was taken aback.

After she thought for a long time, she finally recalled who she was.

"Aunt Mary," Saoirse replied with joy.

Although Saoirse addressed the woman in front of her as "Aunt", they were not related by blood. It was only because of the good friendship between Mary and her mother that Saoirse had addressed her as "Aunt". When she lived in this small town as a child, she had often went to Mary's house to play.

Mary looked at her while smiling and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you've becmore and more beautiful." "Likewise, Aunt Mary. You still look so young." "I'm really old now." Mary sighed.

She looked towards Matthew with amazement in her eyes. "Saoirse, is this your husband? He's very handsome." The faces of both Saoirse and Matthew revealed a hint of embarrassment.

However, Mary was looking at Saoirse with expectant eyes.

Saoirse didn't know what to say.

However, Matthew said, "Yes." Saoirse's heart skipped a beat.

Mary then complimented Matthew and they talked for a long tbefore she left.

"Saoirse, whenever you and your husband have time, do cto my house for dinner," Mary said enthusiastically before she left.

After Mary left, Saoirse glanced at Matthew and said, "Why did you say that?" "I don't want you to feel embarrassed." The corners of Saoirse's lips curled up.

Although she knew that he had no feelings for her, and he was just saving her from embarrassment when he said those words in front of Aunt Mary, she still felt very happy.

The two of them continued to walk.

As they walked, Saoirse said, "William, do you know that this was the life that once yearned for? Having a stroll on the streets with my special someone after having a meat together. This was what once dreamt of. I didn't expect it to finally ctrue." Matthew felt distressed.

He looked at Saoirse with a slight smile on his face. However, deep down, he felt as if a mountain was weighing down on his heart.

Saoirse's life was slowly slipping away.

Despite being seriously ill, she still had the energy to talk and walk with him just like a healthy person.

Matthew could only think of one possibility.

The momentary excitement of a person before death.

Saoirse probably didn't have much tleft.

"Saoirse." Matthew spoke and stared deeply into her eyes. "I will accompany you well during this period of time. You must stay happy every day." The smile on the corner of Saoirse's lips grew bigger.

She nodded heavily.

With William by her side, she suddenly felt that she was at ease.

Yesseca was at hstacking paper cranes.

Ever since Lothar left, she piled up five paper cranes every day because the date that Lothar left was on the fifth.

By now, Yesseca had already piled up fifteen paper cranes, as Lothar had been away for three days.

Yesseca prepared to give Lothar these folded paper cranes when he returned.

After she folded the fifth paper crane, Yesseca picked up her phone again.

She dialed Lothar's number.

"Beep beep beep.." No one answered.

Yesseca heaved a sigh.

In the past two days, Lothar had never given her a single call, and her calls were not being answered.

At first, Yesseca had been quite anxious. Later on, it was Sierra from the neighborhood who told her that it was the scase for all the crew at sea.

"The signal at sea is not good. They can't make a call nor answer the phone. Don't worry, your brother is fine," Sierra said to Yesseca.

Yesseca finally felt at ease.

She thought that her brother would cback in just a few months.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Yesseca was startled.

"Has my brother returned?" Although she felt that it was impossible, Yesseca was still excited. She immediately ran and opened the door.

Her breathing then stopped.

A man stood at the door.

He was wrapped in a tall black suit and had a well-proportioned figure. He exuded an oppressive and extravagant aura. The corridor looked particularly narrow and small as he stood there. His black eyes coldly glanced at Yesseca.

Yesseca was initially in a daze, she then becpuzzled. "Why are you here?"

The man parted his thin lips. His voice was as cold as the gaze of his eyes, but it was extremely alluring. "Didn't you request to havepersonally invite you?" As he spoke, his brows gave off an impatient look.

Tremaine had never personally tried to hire a maid who lived in a worm down apartment building before, but he had no choice as Montez kept complaining. He didn't want the maids that Tremaine found for him at all. He kept saying that he wanted the girl who'd saved him.

Tremaine was upset by all of Montez's complaints, thus he finally gave in.
