My Heart only Beats for You

After some time had passed, Lothar returned with his takeaway. It was a simple meal with a meat dish and one vegetable dish.

He then said, "I know you're not used to such food. But please make do with it. If you prefer something else, then I'll go out and get it for you." Selina accepted the lunch box, "There is no need for you to do that. It's like what you just said, let's just make do."

However, after taking two bites of the meal, she put down the lunch box.

"Does it not suit your taste? Let me go buy you something else."

Selina shook her head at this, "It tastes delicious, just that I don't want to eat right now. Besides, I'll have to go home for dinner tonight."

"You're going back home?" Lothar was taken aback by this news.

"My family home."

He hummed in reply, "Are you planning to tell your family then?"

Selina pressed her lips together.

"Lothar, my mind is in a mess right now. It would be better if you just let me calm down for a bit."

Lothar thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go out and find a quiet cafe to do that? You won't be able to get peace with so many people walking around in the hospital." Selina shook her head and said, "Here is fine, I'll just stay here."

The hospital was filled with smell of disinfectants which made her feel nauseous. But the nausea that she felt helped masked the overwhelming distaste she had for Matthew. Time trickled by slowly.

It was already in the evening when she was ready to go back home.

Before returning home, she went to visit Yesseca.

Yesseca was having her dinner.

It was a very simple meal yet she ate it with much enthusiasm, as if having dinner was the happiest thing one could do in the whole world.

Selina felt hot tears in her eyes at the scene.

She recalled what Yesseca had said to her previously.

She said that Selina was who Yesseca yearned to be like.

Selina also recalled how Yesseca gazed out of the window, with eyes full of longing to step into the outside world.

Selina thought to herself, if she were to be bound to a hospital bed at such a young age due to some illness, she would probably go mad. Selina left the hospital moments later.

She tried hard to put on a smile.

If someone like Yesseca had to fight to live her life healthily, Selina herself had no reason to not appreciate the life she had now.
