My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 1982



In the time Tremaine pretended to be unconscious, he slowly learned that he had been kidnapped by the 001 terrorist group.

There were three other people in the cave at this moment.

A man and woman had locked him up in his cell while another man was constantly stationed outside. He was in charge of their food and supplies.

The man and woman were talking to each other in the cave.

"Why hasn't he woken up yet? Is he dead?"

"Don't worry, he won't die that easily. This man has experienced a lot in his life. There's no way he'd die so easily. He's so full of vitality."

"But it's been several days now and he still hasn't woken up. I'm getting worried that he'll never wake up."

"No.3 has gone to see the doctor. I'll take some medication and give it to him later."

The cave lapsed into silence once again.

Tremaine frowned in the dark.

He knew that it was time for him to make his

move.

It was not just that his captors had started to become suspicious.

It was also because he wasn't very strong at the moment.

Without some food and water, he would eventually pass out.

Madam Quartley soon heard that Yesseca had moved out.

She called for Yuliana to ask her about it.

Yuliana lied, "Madam Quartley, Yesseca ran away when she realized that Tremaine hadn't come back after waiting for so long. She said she'd never come back here. Who could know just what's on her mind?"

After a brief pause, she was worried that Madam Quartley would suspect her. Yuliana added, "Everyone treats her like family here in the Quartley Palace. I guess after the wedding had been cancelled so abruptly, she must have felt very upset and decided to leave. Tremaine nearly made her the happiest woman on earth after all."

Madam Quartley wasn't very suspicious of the things Yuliana was telling her.

She was too concerned about Tremaine to worry about Yesseca.

Madam Quartley waved her hand at her and said irritably, "Forget it. I don't care where she is right now."

Yuliana breathed out a sigh of relief.

She then asked cautiously, "Madam Quartley, why hasn't Tremaine come back after such a long time?" Madam Quartley's expression slowly shifted.

She said rather quickly, "He has some business to attend to. Don't concern yourself with Tremaine, he'll be back when he comes back. You should be accompanying Zorion. I saw Zorion sitting on the sofa in a daze by himself earlier. You're his wife, so you should talk to him when you have free time." A look of guilt flashed briefly on Yuliana's face. She said, "Madam Quartley, I am with him every day. I guess he must have gotten bored when I went to use the washroom earlier."

Yuliana then walked into the hall.

Sure enough, she saw Zorion was sitting on the sofa with a dull look on his face.

She was furious at him.

This damn fool.

What was he doing out here in the hall? Couldn't he just stay in his bedroom?

Now that Madam Quartley had seen him like this, she must have assumed that Yuliana wasn't being a good wife.

Truth was, she wasn't a good wife.

But Zorion was mentally challenged! Did she really have to fulfill her obligation as a wife to this fool?

Before this, because of the threat of Ruth, she had been much gentler to Zorion.

Now that the threat was gone and Tremaine wasn't in the Quartley Palace, Yuliana became very impatient with Zorion. She couldn't stand being around him and abhorred talking to him.

Yuliana walked up to Zorion and kicked him gently with her shoes. "Zorion, why are you sitting here? Go back to your bedroom and watch some TV. Don't come out unless you have to."

Zorion came back to his senses.

He glanced up at Yuliana with a grievous look on his face. "Honey, I'm so bored."

"If you're bored, then stay in your room and watch TV," Yuliana said impatiently.

Zorion felt ignored and said, "Honey, there's nothing good on the TV. I want someone to play with. You never play with me. I'm so bored and lonely."

Yuliana's face fell. "All you ever do is play! Do you think you're some three-year-old child? You only ever want to play! I don't have time to play with you every day! Go watch TV and stop bothering me, otherwise it'll be your fault if I get upset!"

Whenever Yuliana was fierce, Zorion wouldn't dare to say a word to her.

He stood up and muttered quietly the moment he turned the corner, "But it's really boring watching TV every day."

Yuliana pretended not to have heard him.

She didn't care whether Zorion was bored.

ет

"So long as Zorion stays in his bedroom, no one will see him sitting on the sofa and no one will blame

me for not being a good wife

BUMS

Yuliana accompanied Zorion to his bedroom. She turned on the TV for him and changed the channel until a cartoon was seen.

Zorion didn't like that particular cartoon.

He also didn't like watching cartoons in general.

He then said, "Honey, I don't like watching cartoons."

Yuliana frowned. "You don't like them? Even if you don't like it, you have

watch them! What else can you watch except for cartoons with that IQ of

yours?"

Zorion opened his mouth and had wanted to say something, but didn't.

"Watch your cartoons." Yuliana said, "Don't come out unless you need to."

After that, Yuliana turned around and left.

Zorion picked up the remote the moment she was gone.

He switched off the TV.

He sat back on the bed and looked at the ceiling blankly.

His life had been very dreary and boring lately.

Ever since Ruth left, no one had played with him anymore.

No one smiled at him either.

No one else would accompany him to play with his paper planes.

No one would ever cook delicious snacks for him again.

Zorion felt very sad.

He really missed Ruth.

But he shouldn't think about her.

This was because everyone said that Ruth wasn't a good person.

Zorion didn't like bad people as well.

He had to restrain himself from thinking about her.

So he whispered to himself, "Don't think about Ruth, don't think about Ruth."

Ruth was accompanying Yesseca as she was buying some daily necessities when she suddenly stopped.

She saw two children playing with paper planes.

The boy threw the paper plane, while the girl smiled sweetly.

Ruth looked longingly at the two children.

She suddenly remembered her days back in the Quartley Palace.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Zorion liked folding paper planes

very much. Every time he folded them, he loved to throw them up in the air ingust the same way. She would watch by the side. She would watch the paper plane fly farther and farther away as she smiled happily.

"Ruth?" Yesseca suddenly called to her.

Before Yesseca could see what was going on, Ruth stirred.

Hearing Yesseca's voice, Ruth came back to her senses.

She then looked away.

"It's fine, Yesseca, let's go," Ruth said.

Yesseca didn't think much about what she had seen.

She nodded. "There's a supermarket up ahead. Let's go."

"Okay." Ruth said airily.

For the rest of their trip, Ruth kept remembering things she used to do with Zorion and his face kept appearing in her mind.

She kept thinking about him.

Was Mr. Zorion doing alright?
