My Heart only Beats for You

"Auntie, you can call me Natalie. You held me when I was a newborn, there's no need to be so formal," said Natalie seriously as she looked at Jessie. Jessie felt as if something had tugged on her heartstrings.

Indeed, when Natalie was first born, she had held her in her own arms.

Back then, Natalie was still a wrinkled, tiny baby, crying loudly in her arms.

Jessie was still young back then. It was her first time holding a child, so she was particularly emotional when she held the tiny Natalie.

When she sent Natalie to the orphanage, she had even fed Natalie.

In the blink of an eye, the little baby in her arms had grown so big, even taller than her.

Jessie suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Natalie," she whispered. "Honestly, it's all in the past."

Natalie sighed.

How could she not know that it was all in the past?

It was just that she had not yet received closure, especially when she found out how her parents had died.

"Auntie, you didn't tell me in detail last time. I want to know exactly what happened to my parents back then. Please, Madam Lawson, tell me." Natalie's serious and determined eyes were fixed on Jessie's face.

Jessie hesitated.

After a while, she took out a newspaper from the drawer next to her and handed it to Natalie. She said, "This is the report about the incident at that time. You can have a look at it."

After saying that, Jessie turned her head away and did not look at Natalie again.

When Natalie saw the newspaper, which had already faded yellow, her fingertips trembled violently.

She took a deep breath, then took a look at it.

The newspaper was from over twenty years ago. It had a report on a shooting incident which happened on the streets of the United States.

At that time, a high official from the United States had gone on a trip and was about to be assassinated by a special agent. Fortunately, the agent was discovered by an army officer called Santiago Lawson and was shot dead on the spot.
