My Heart only Beats for You

Preslie fell silent.

She widened her eyes in surprise. "What? Weren't they talking about a servant?"

Sheldon felt helpless. "Miss Cowell worked as a servant in Mr. Tremaine's house. Didn't you know about that?" Preslie was shocked.

She searched her brain. She seemed to recall Yesseca mentioning something like that. Or had she?

Regardless, it had to be true since Sheldon said so!

Preslie was dumbfounded.

Her lips trembled. "I don't remember whether Yesseca told me, Mr. Hawls, I really don't. I wouldn't have told her all of this if I'd known. I didn't mean to, I really didn't know..." Sheldon sighed to himself.

He didn't know what to say, so he just looked at her.

After some time, Preslie said, "Mr. Hawls, I think you should take me to the hospital."

"What for?"

Preslie pointed at her head, her voice quavering. "To cut my head open and see what's in there."

Sheldon was lost for words.

Yesseca felt someone's lips on her.

She was asleep, and she didn't want to open her eyes. All she knew was that the lips were soft.

In her grogginess, she wondered whether Preslie was dreaming that she was food.

She opened her mouth. "Preslie, stop it. I'm not food."

Those lips pressed against her more insistently at her words. In fact, they seemed to be nibbling at her mouth.

Yesseca felt like she was going to faint.

"I'm not food. You're dreaming, Preslie!"

With that, Yesseca opened her eyes.

A handsome face was zoomed in in front of her.
