My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 1968



Yesseca turned around and then froze.

There really was a thin girl lifting up a pot.

Yesseca recognized her.

It was Ruth.

Ruth also noticed Yesseca.

She suddenly looked awkward.

After Ruth served their food at Yesseca's table, she greeted her, "Ye... Yesseca."

Preslie was surprised, "You two know each other?"

Ruth nodded at her as if to greet her as well.

Yesseca then stood up.

She then said to Preslie with a smile on her face, "Preslie, have a seat. I'm just going to talk to Ruth for a little bit."

Yesseca then pulled Ruth aside.

She carefully looked at Ruth.

It hadn't been very long since she last saw Ruth, but she seemed a lot weaker than before and she looked very bruised as well. She had dark circles around her eyes too.

Yesseca looked at her suspiciously.

How did Ruth end up like this in such a short time?

She then asked, "Ruth, how did you end up becoming a waitress here, and how did you end up looking like this?"

Ruth faltered. "My cousin runs this restaurant. I work here now."

"Are they cruel to you?"

"No, the restaurant is just very busy all the time. I'm fine."

Yesseca relaxed.

She figured that since Ruth's relatives ran this restaurant, they wouldn't treat her badly.

Ruth looked so skinny now, she must have been badly overworked with how busy the restaurant was.

Yesseca then said, "Ruth, I'm getting married tomorrow. Will you be able to attend my wedding?" Ruth replied immediately, "I'm sorry, I won't be attending. But I wish you well. I'm really happy for you." Ruth had rejected her invitation, so Yesseca didn't insist.

It was probably for the best that Ruth and Zorion didn't see each other again.

But she had also considered Ruth her friend, that was why she had extended her a verbal invitation.

After chatting for a little bit, Ruth then excused herself as she had to get back to work.

Yesseca then said, "Alright, I won't keep you from you work then. I'll come and visit you again soon, Ruth."

Ruth forced out a smile and went back into the kitchen.

When she entered the kitchen, she saw her cousin, Olivia standing with her hands on her hips.

Olivia was annoyed when she saw Ruth walk in.

She then said, "Ruth, don't you know that it's the busiest time for our restaurant right now? What's taking you so long? Can't you see how busy the restaurant is?"

Ruth was about to respond.

She wanted to say that she had bumped into friend who was eating here. She just had a quick chat with her friend. But then decided to keep it to herself.

Her cousin was just a stranger to her now.

Olivia scolded her with her hands on her waist and a very angry face. She looked very different to how sweet she was before when she'd asked her for money.

An hour and a half later, Yesseca and Preslie had finished their meal.

Yesseca looked around the restaurant.

She wanted to say goodbye to Ruth.

But after looking around for a while, she couldn't find her at all.

Yesseca and Preslie then decided to leave.

After Yesseca stepped out, someone suddenly walked towards the door.

It was Ruth.

She watched Yesseca slowly disappear into the distance.

Her eyes watered.

She suddenly heard Tremaine's voice echo in her ears.

He said that everyone was equal.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Nobles and ordinary people were the same, all equal.

She had been so excited to hear him say that.

But soon, reality had hit her hard like a bucket of cold water.

There was no such thing as equality between the people.

Even though Yesseca, who came from an ordinary family, was now with Tremaine, that didn't prove anything.

Yesseca was just incredibly lucky.

How many girls out there in the whole world would be as lucky as Yesseca?

"Yesseca, I wish you the best of luck," Ruth whispered softly, "May you have a blessed wedding. You must be very happy."

She was very jealous of Yesseca.

She envied how lucky Yesseca was.

But at the same time, she also felt blessed to know Yesseca.

Because Yesseca represented the fulfillment of a dream.

It was a dream every ordinary girl in the world had.

Even though an ordinary girl, like herself, would never be as lucky as Yesseca was for the rest of her life.

At the very least, Yesseca had created a beautiful dream forthem.

Ruth hoped that this beautiful dream would never fall apart.

Yesseca would be blessed with happiness for the rest of her life.

It was the next day.

Matthew got up just before dawn.

Matthew and Selina would be leaving for Nashaland at eight o'clock in that morning.

Matthew had gotten up early to make preparations.

After he had made his preparations

he returned to the bedroom to wake

Selina up. But then he suddenly saw Selina on the bed with a pained look on her face.

Matthew became anxious.

He immediately strode towards her. "Selina, what's 911"

Selina tried to sound strong. "Nothing, let's go."

Matthew knew that something was wrong.

Something was going on with Selina.

He noticed that she was hiding something from him. He lifted up the sheets and noticed that the sheets were all red.

Selina was bleeding.

This wasn't the first time he had seen this, he knew what it meant.

Selina was about to give birth.

He picked her up immediately and said, "I'm taking you to the hospital right now."

But Selina didn't want to go to the hospital.

She struggled and said, "No, no! I'm going to Yesseca's wedding."

"Stop messing around!" Matthew was usually stern. "Selina, you are going to give birth! This isn't the time to mess around. You think I would put you and our baby in danger?"

Selina was quiet.

She bit down hard on her lip.

UMS

She had been praying constantly for her baby to be born after Yesseca's wedding.

But God just wasn't going to grant her wish.

She was going to give birth right now!

"Oh my god!"

God was definitely doing this to her on purpose!

When she was brought into the car, she knew that she would not be able to attend Yesseca's wedding.

Matthew wouldn't let her go.

She couldn't protest either. She couldn't put her life and the baby's life at risk by running away.

Selina had no choice but to call Yesseca over the phone.

She told Yesseca that there was no way she would be able to attend her wedding. Her water had already broke and she was going into labor right

now.

When Yesseca heard that Selina

was about to go into labor, she got

so excited that she said, "Oh my god, you're going into labor? I'm coming over right now. I'm going to Agaphen City right now! I have to come and see you..."

Selina was quiet.

She said, "Yesseca, don't do that. You have to get married today!"

Yesseca was quiet.

Yesseca felt dizzy.

If Selina hadn't said that, she would have forgotten that she was going to get married today.

"What should we do?!" Yesseca muttered.
