My Heart only Beats for You

Yesseca muttered to herself, "Don't trust anyone."

Tremaine added, "Yes, don't trust anyone, except for me! You can't trust anyone but me."

Yesseca was quiet.

She found everything that Tremaine had said was nonsense.

Tremaine looked at her deeply. "Remember, no one else is loyal to you but me. So I'm the only one you can

trust."

Yesseca couldn't help but refute Tremaine's logic. She said, "That's nonsense, you know? My sister and brother-

in-law care abouttoo!"

"No matter how well they treat you, they will never be as loyal to you as | am."

Yesseca sneered. "You're talking as though you're the holiest person in the world."

The more tshe spent with Tremaine, the more she realized how much he liked to boast.

Tremaine stared at Yesseca, his deep black eyes reflected Yesseca's body. He spoke in a deep and magnetic

voice, "Yesseca, of course I'm not. I'm not a good person, but my love for you is real." Yesseca sneered at

Tremaine and his narcissism but when she heard him say that, she found herself speechless.

She quickly looked away.

Oh no.

She had been glaring fearlessly at Tremaine earlier.

How could this be...

She had suddenly felt embarrased.

Fortunately, Tremaine didn't continue this conversation with Yesseca. He told her to go to bed as he still had a lot

of things to do that night. He might have to stay in the study for the entire night. Yesseca obediently returned to

her bedroom.

After sitting in her bedroom for twenty minutes, Yesseca then snuck out.

She walked all over the Quartley Palace until she finally found the soldier she was looking for. She asked him to

take her to see Ruth.

Everyone in the Quartley Palace knew how important Yesseca was to Tremaine.

So, without informing Tremaine, the soldier took Yesseca to the room they had locked Ruth in.

Yesseca was about to push the door open and walk in when she suddenly thought of something. She then hurried

over to look for a servant.

She asked a maid to prepare her a cup of hot tea and schocolates.

She then carried the tray with these items into the room.

Ruth was couched in a corner trembling.

Yesseca walked over to her.

Ruth looked at Yesseca then quickly lowered her head.

She kept her mouth shut tight and didn't say anything.

Yesseca then said softly, "Ruth, have shot tea and chocolate."

Ruth still didn't say anything.

Yesseca's spoke gently, "A woman's first tis always painful. I've experienced it before, that's how | know. You

need to recover your strength. | had specially asked the servants to prepare shot tea for you. It will keep

you warm now since the weather is so cold right now."

Ruth held her breath.

She then reached out and took the mug of tea. There was a look of gratitude on her face. "Thank you, Miss

Cowell."

"I told you, just callYesseca, there's no need to callMiss Cowell."

Ruth hesitated for a moment before correcting herself. "Thank you, Yesseca." "No need to thank me, drink."

Ruth took a sip of her hot tea.

Although she didn't have any appetite for it, she didn't want to disappoint Yesseca, so she forced herself to drink

i)

While Ruth was drinking her hot tea, Yesseca unwrapped the chocolate, snapped off a piece and brought it close

to Ruth's mouth. "Here Ruth, open your mouth."

Ruth opened her mouth and swallowed the piece of chocolate.

When she swallowed it, tears ran down her cheeks.

Except for Zorion, no one else had ever been this kind to her.

"Thank you Yesseca. Thank you very much." Ruth was choking from her sobs.

Yesseca smiled. "You're welcome. | know what you're going through."

When she had been taken by Tremaine for the first time, she still remembered the physical injuries and

psychological pain she went through. She thought, at that time, if someone had given her a cup of hot tea and

schocolates, she would have felt warm and safe

After Ruth finished eating her chocolate, Yesseca pointed at scandy on the tray and said, "Ruth, have some

candy. They'll help you feel better. When you finish eating, you won't feel sad anymore." Ruth had completely

lost her appetite by now.

But she couldn't bear the thought of rejecting Yesseca's kindness.

That was why she ate another piece of candy.

After Ruth ate her candy, Yesseca said, "Ruth, | know you're a good girl. This must have been a

misunderstanding. Don't worry, I'll talk to Tremaine about this. You'll be fine. Don't worry." Ruth's eyes became

misty.

Yesseca hadn't even asked her a single question and yet she had decided to trust her!

Ruth choked back her tears, then said, "Yesseca, thank you, thank you for trusting me, thank you very much."

She was about to cry after saying that.

Yesseca quickly took out a piece of tissue and wiped her tears away. "Don't cry, Ruth. If you ever need anything,

tell me. I'll tell Tremaine."

Ruth sniffed.

She looked at Yesseca with her tear

filled eyes and said, "I didn't seduce

Mr. Zorion. I've never had such

thoughts know that I'm just a maid. also know that Mr. Zorion is

married to Madam Yuliana.

Lwould

never dare to have such thoughts."

"Mr. Zorion had a high fever today, so | went to check on him. | placed my hand on his forehead, but he then

pulledonto the bed. | didn't have the strength to push him away, then my vision went blurry..." Ruth couldn't

continue. She was sobbing loudly.

Yesseca looked doubtfully at Ruth as she heard her account.

"According to Ruth, Zorion had forced himself on her against her will."

But wasn't Zorion mentally challenged?

Moreover, she had met Zorion several times before. He always giggled and seemed to be a very happy person.

Could a man like him do such a terrible thing?

As thought she had understood

Yesseca's doubtful look, Ruth added,

"Yesseca, Mr. Zorion has no idea about what happened tonight. He didn't seem to be himself. I'm certain that MD.

Zorion didn't do this on purpose. Mr. Zorion is a good man. He definitely didn't do this on

purpose. Something must have

possessed him."

Even at that moment, Ruth was still defending

Zorion.

Yesseca patted her shoulder and said, "Ruth, don't worry. If that's the case, Tremaine being the fair man that he

is, will definitely figure out the truth."

Ruth shook her head and sobbed. "I don't want the truth. | just wish this never happened and for things to go

back to how they were."

If Yuliana hadn't suddenly walked in, then no one would know and this would be as thought nothing had

happened. Ruth would have kept this a secret and wouldn't have told anyone. Yesseca was upset to hear Ruth

say this.
