My Heart only Beats for You

Selina was in fact experiencing a nightmare.

She had dreamt that Natalie had lost her child.

The child was born in a pool of Natalie's blood, but it wasn't breathing.

Selina let out a piercing scream, "Ah!"

Her eyes shot wide open, her pupils dilated, as if she had just seen a ghost.

Matthew rushed forward to hold her hands and console her, "Selina, I'm right here."

His palms were warm.

Her gaze gradually moved to his face.

Selina hurriedly cried out, as if she had just suffered a great shock, "Where's Natalie? Where's her child?"

"It's all fine. Natalie is alright. She just gave birth to a baby boy." Matthew had never left her side ever since she fainted. It was Cecilia who'd instructed the nurse to tell him this news. He added, "He's a very healthy boy."

Selina felt something in her mind slowly loosen upon hearing this information.

She patted her chest and echoed his words, "A boy. It's a boy. A healthy boy."

She spontaneously let out a laugh, "Thank god! Natalie is doing alright, and so is the child!" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She laughed so much that tears almost fell from her eyes.

If other people were to see her like this, they may have found her hysterical. Yet only Matthew knew that Selina's intense response was because she had been under far too much stress. His heart felt as if it was being tightly squeezed.

This was all because of him!

If he hadn't given her the cold shoulder after the day's event, and instead genuinely communicated with her about it, maybe things would not have ended up like this.

He was being so cruel to her because he didn't trust her!

Matthew couldn't even begin to imagine what would have happened if he hadn't gone looking for Selina at the end.

He wasn't sure if Natalie would be able to keep her child, and he couldn't bear the thought of what would have happened to Selina.

Those invisible hands tightened their grip around his heart.

When he saw Selina in that state, on the edge of a mental breakdown, he felt as if he himself was about to break down too.
