My Heart only Beats for You

Chapter 2399

When all that surrounded her was extreme pain, what was a little lack of food and water!

At that juncture, except for the pain nothing else could be felt.

Thirst, hunger... absolutely nothing.

"Looks like Ruth was pretty miserable," Yesseca whispered. "Even when she knew that this day would come, she still couldn't bear it, even collapsed." Preslie seemed to understand and yet not.

Yesseca looked towards her, "The Quartley Palace wanted to take away Ruth's child. She was reluctant to part with her son but she also knew that she had no power to fight against them. All she could do was endure the pain on her own." Preslie burst out then, "If it hurts to this extent, then just don't give the child to Quartley Palace. She gave birth to him after all! If she doesn't hand him over, don't tell me that those in the palace would assassinate her for it!

Yesseca heaved out a heavy sigh.

What Preslie said had some merit.

However, after having gone through various tumultuous experiences, she knew more than anyone that the world wasn't solely defined in just black and white, that there wasn't an answer that was absolutely right or wrong. The child was Ruth's, but he was also Zorion's.

If a mother had the right to fight for custody of their child, I was the same for the father.

Despite the fact that Zorion wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, he still had the powerful Quartley Palace as his backer.
