My Heart only Beats for You

"Natalie, if you had a serious illness which would make you die quicker, and I had no way to save you, would you choose to tell me or hide it from me?"

Natalie held her breath.

Why would Tobias ask such a question?

"Natalie, would you tell me or create a misunderstanding between us and leave by yourself?"

Natalie hesitated for a moment and said, "If I can start a new life after I leave, I will definitely choose not to tell you and leave. I don't want you to suffer for a lifetime because of me." Tobias' eyes narrowed.

He let go of Natalie and said, "I'll comfort Mom."

Tobias saw Cecilia in the living room.

Cecilia was sitting on the couch. Her face was pale and she supported her forehead with her hand.

"Mom." Tobias walked over.

Cecilia glanced at Tobias and said, "Tobias, you know what your sister has done, you...'

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you call her and persuade her? She always listens to you. Can you persuade her to come back?"

"Mom." Tobias said in a low voice, "Selina has been a rebel since young. She even dropped out of college because of love. Do you still remember this?" Cecilia certainly remembered. "How can I forget? She's always making me worried and mad. If only she was half as good as you, I wouldn't have been so angry!" "Mom, everyone has their way of living. Do you remember what I told you when Selina dropped out of school?"

Cecilia was stunned.

She had forgotten.

"I told you that finishing college is a good thing, but it's not necessarily bad that Selina didn't. She has the right to make her own decisions."

Cecilia remembered.

She nodded. "You told me that at that time."

Tobias continued, "So, it's the same now. Selina has her own way of living. The life you want her to live is different from the one she wants, but it doesn't necessarily mean she is wrong. There is no complete right and wrong in this world."

"But she got rid of Matthew's child. How can she do that! Is that not wrong?" Cecilia was emotional.

Cecilia fell silent.
