My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



"Sir, it's just water. I'm afraid all we found were dewdrops that froze on the window in the early morning." The man reported. Tremaine frowned and said, "Just dewdrops? Then why did it feel so slippery?"

"Well..." The man began to stammer.

This was why he was so hesitant.

Theoretically speaking, dewdrops shouldn't be slippery, but the test result didn't show any other material present.

The man bit the bullet and said, "Sir, I'm afraid it really is just water."

Tremaine was silent for a moment. "I see."

After hanging up the phone, Tremaine looked gloomy.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Kyi in arrived at the shopping mall where Yesseca worked.

He wasn't here to see her, but had driven here anyway. He didn't know why he came all the way here in the first place.

When he arrived at the entrance of the mall, Kylin stopped.

He looked up at the mall.

What she had said that day still lingered in his mind.

Was he going to stay or would he leave?

Right now, he still didn't have an answer.

If Yesseca really had a lover, he wasn't going to impose on her.

What's more, he hadn't had much contact with Yesseca. He had a good impression of her, but not enough to want to stay for her.

He sighed softly.

Forget it, he should just leave.

He walked out of the mall. Suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed, "Thief! Thief! He stole my bag!"

Ry I in looked in the direction where the shouting came from.

A middle-aged woman dressed in gold and silver was shouting, while a young man was running away from her with a Hermes bag in his hand.

Perhaps it's because the area wasn't very crowded, or maybe it was because she was dressed so flamboyantly that she stood out among the crowd. Regardless, she became the target of a snatch thief.

No one would get involved in other people's problems nowadays.

Nobody chased after the thief.

Nodoby, except for Kylin.

Without hesitating, Kylin chased after him.

After running a little ways ahead, Kylin turned around only to see a familiar looking figure running after the thief as well.

Kylin narrowed his eyes.

It was Yesseca.

Kylin was surprised to see her.

The robber realized that he was being chased. He quickly took out a dagger and showed it off.

Kylin wasn't afraid of it.

But since Yesseca was a girl, she must be terrified of it.

He looked at her again.

Yesseca didn't hesitate and continued chasing after the thief.

Kylin was stunned.

He was so stunned by this that he slowed down. Soon after, the thief and Yesseca were running in front of him.

When they arrived at a corner, the thief was cornered and had nowhere else to run to.

When he turned around, he smiled confidently.

He had seen a man and a girl chasing after him earlier, but now it was just the little girl all by herself.

A girl was nothing to be afraid of.

The robber held up the dagger and said, "Little girl, You should learn not to meddle in other people's business. Now get out of here. I'll let you off this time."

Yesseca didn't budge.

She said with clear eyes, "Return that bag to the lady. It's wrong to take things that don't belong to you. If you don't, I'll call the police."

When the robber realized that Yesseca didn't appreciate his offer, anger flashed across his eyes.

He charged towards Yesseca with his dagger in hand.

Yesseca was quiet.

She assumed that the thief was only trying to scare her with his dagger She didn't realize that he was actually about to stab her. She was stunned and couldn't move away.

When the thief rushed over, Yesseca snapped back to reality and shouted, "Help!"

"Crack!"

She heard a loud sound.

The dagger fell to the ground.

Kylin had kicked the thief's dagger to the ground and subdued him.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Yesseca was dumbfounded.

"Erm... What's Kylin doing here?"

"Call the police," said Kylin with a deep voice.

"Oh, right, I'll call the police." Yesseca quickly took out her phone.

Because Kylin and Yesseca were involved, they had to go to the police station to give a statement.

On the way there, Kylin asked Yesseca, "You knew that man had a dagger, but you didn't move away. Were you just going to stand there and get stabbed?"

At first, when he saw the thief take out his dagger and Yesseca wasn't afraid, he'd thought that Yesseca must be brave and skilled. However, she didn't know that the thief was really going to stab her, so she got scared and shouted for help.

Though, she did look pretty cute when she was timid.

Yesseca was embarrassed. "I thought he was just trying to scare me off. How was I to know that he would actually do it?"

Kylin was speechless.

He said appreciatively with a hint of helplessness, "But you are very brave."

It was very brave for a girl to chase after a thief all by herself.

Yesseca got even more embarrassed. "What is that about? Anyone would have do the same."

When they arrived at the police station, something else happened.

A policewoman in the station recognized Yesseca.

When she saw her, she happily held Yesseca's hand. "Oh hello dearie, it's you again. Always doing the right thing. What a shining example of a model citizen."

Another police officer asked, "Do you know this girl?"

"Of course." The policewoman spoke

with admiration about Yesseca. "This little girl is amazing. She once risked her life to save a child who nearly got hit by a car. She also frequents the old folks home and the

e

orphanage to help out. I'm a volunteer at those places and so is she. Both the elderly and the orphans adore her."

After being praised so highly in public, Yesseca's face turned red.

She said meekly, "No, I'm just doing what I can."

By the side, Kylin's eyes flashed with astonishment as he looked at her.

"Yesseca, you've done so many good things, why don't you ever talk about it?" he thought.

After leaving the police station, Kyi in sent Yesseca home, and then returned to the Perry family villa.

Selina was resting at home.

Last night, she had some pregnancy cramps. Luckily, it wasn't serious.

But even then, Matthew didn't go to work today and chose to stay home with her.

Matthew was in the kitchen, preparing some dishes for Selina.

"Hey Selina, are you feeling better?" Kyi in poured out a glass of warm water for her.

She accepted the cup of water and said, "I feel much better now."

Kylin sat down beside her. "Did you know that Yesseca has been volunteering at the old folks home and at the orphanage?"

Selina looked doubtful.

She didn't know about any of that. She'd never heard Yesseca mention this before.

Seeing Selina's response, Kylin knew the answer.

Selina had no idea.

Selina was very close to Yesseca. It seemed that Yesseca had never talked about it. If he hadn't chanced upon that policewoman today, he would

never have known.

Kyi in was moved.

He was slowly coming to a decision.
