My Heart only Beats for You

Ruth stood in front of the lotus pond for a long time without moving.

As the lotus pond was in a remote area, only a few people who know where it was would drop by. Other than Yesseca, who had been following Ruth all along, there weren't anyone near them. Yesseca stood at one side, looked at Ruth, and felt that things weren't right.

What was Ruth doing?

Why was she standing by the lotus pond?

A thought suddenly came to her mind.

Could it be that Ruth had discovered her, so she stood there deliberately to confuse her?

Yesseca felt that it might be possible.

She thought about it and decided to walk out of her hiding place.

Since Ruth had discovered her, she would straightforwardly show her cards.

As soon as she took a step forward, her eyes widened in disbelief.

She saw Ruth jumping into the lotus pond!

Yesseca quickly rushed over. However, Ruth was already deep in the pond.

And she seemed to be sinking.

Yesseca immediately screamed, "Is there anyone here? Someone, please save her! Help!"

Tremaine was walking towards the villa where Zorion lived.

Halfway there, he thought he heard a shout.

The voice was very weak, as if it came from somewhere far away.

If it was any other passerby, they might not pick out the voice. But Tremaine had special training, and he could pick out even the faintest sound.

He concentrated on the voice.

Soon, he figured out where it was coming from.

He ran towards that direction.

Yesseca saw that Ruth had sunk very deep into the pond. Only her head was visible.

The bed of the pond was muddy and had the texture of quicksand. As Ruth reached the bottom of the pond, she sunk deeper and deeper.

And what's more, Ruth didn't seem to be calling for help or possess any intentions of surviving. She merely let herself sink deeper. Yesseca shouted for a long time, but no one came.
