My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



Kylin wasn't surprised by the fact that Yesseca wanted to buy some fruit but the rest of her words.

It had proven that she was indeed very attentive.

It also meant that she was very thoughtful.

Soon, she had a basket of fruits in her hands, and she was about to pay for them when he stopped her.

"Let me do it. How could I ask you to pay for them?" she said.

In her opinion, she should pay for the fruit she was the one who came up with the idea to get them.

"It's fine. How could a gentleman let a woman pay?" As soon as he finished his sentence, he looked at the vendor and said, "Don't you agree?"

With that, the vendor took the cash from Kyi in's hand instead of Yesseca's, saying, "He's right. How could he have let you pay? Miss, you have a wonderful boyfriend."

Hearing his words, she blushed. "H-He isn't my boyfriend."

However, the vendor laughed. "Soon I see."

While Yesseca was feeling embarrassed, Kylin had a calm expression on his face.

After getting in the car, she hesitated for a moment before saying to him, "Kylin, I don't think it's right to make people misunderstand our relationship." He smiled as he replied, "Yesseca, you can't control everyone's thoughts, can you?"

Thinking about it, she had to agree to his words.

If others thought so, there was nothing she could do.

"Besides, for him to say that about us means we're a good match," he added.

She was rendered speechless.

Glaring at him, she said, "Nonsense!"

This time, he said nothing in response, but his lips were curled up.

In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the old folk's home.

Yesseca and Kylin got out of the car.

There was a group of elderly people chatting with each other when they arrived. The man was sitting alone on the other end with a look of envy and loneliness.

The other elders were chatting about their children.

"My daughter just called me and asked me how I was doing. She has been busy with her work recently. I have already asked her not to call so often, but she still did. Geez," one woman said.

Although she was blaming her daughter, she looked quite proud of it.

"My son came to see me yesterday and bought me a lot of things. I told him not to spend this much money on me, but he wouldn't listen."

"Kids. Mine is exactly like this too."

Most of those who were at the old folk's home had children of their own. However, they sent them here because they were busy with work or for some other reason.

Though it was unsure how their children treated them, the elders were only saying these to comfort themselves.

Right then, the old man was sitting beside them, listening to their conversation about their children with a look of envy. At the same time, he was feeling lesser than them.

Yesseca saw it.

With that, she ran over towards him.

"Uncle Tadeus, I'm here to see you."

She had found out his name when he helped him the other day.

Hearing this, he was stunned.

Someone said to him, "Are your relatives here to see you?"

Since he was at a loss, he did not know what to say.

On the other hand, Yesseca smiled sweetly and answered it for him, "That's right."

Then, she handed the fruits she had gotten to elders as she chatted with Tadeus.

She went for the most natural question, asking him how he was doing at the old folk's home.

Nodding, Tadeus replied, "I'm fine. Everything is fine here. The food and stay are great. It's better than me wandering on the streets."

As soon as he finished those words, he looked at Yesseca gratefully and added, "Thank you. I don't know how should I thank you."

"You're welcome," she said, "Uncle Tadeus, it's natural for a junior like me to care for you. If you need anything, you can give me a call. Just treat me as your child."

Hearing her words, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

After chatting for some time, she bid goodbye to him.

However, she did not leave the old folk's home immediately.

After all, she had plans to meet the director of the home.

"I know he would say that he's fine. I have to ask them about him before we can leave with peace of mind," she said to Kylin.

The look in his eyes darkened as he asked, "You're not related to him, so why are you being so kind towards him?"

It was no big deal for him to buy Tadeus a meal at the restaurant, but wasn't she doing much more now?

Just then, she stopped in her tracks.

Looking at him, she said, "Do you think I am nice to him? Isn't this normal?"

"It's not," he said, "Not everyone would do what you're doing."

She froze for a moment. A complex look appeared on her face as she said, "Kylin, Selina should have told you about my brother and me, hasn't she?

"She did," he muttered.

Smiling, she said, "My mother

passed away when I was very

young, leaving my brother and me to

rely on each other. He was still a

student Back then, and so he had a

tough time supporting me. I had been sick, and the savings we had were not enough for my treatment. Later, he went to borrow some money from our relatives, but they never treated him nicely. They were mean to him. But you know what?"

Pausing to take a deep breath, she then continued, "The world is full of wonders. There are the good and the bad. While I was hospitalized, had a lot of bedmates that helped us. They gave us food, clothes, and even money. Although it wasn't a lot, it was still an act of kindness. Selina too."

As she got to Selina, a gentle smile appeared on her face. It was apparent that she was grateful towards Selina, and she adored Selina. "We are not related too, but she paid for my hospital bills and even found a doctor to treat me of my sickness. There are so many kind people like her out there, and I want to be one myself. If we have the ability to do so, why hold back? Don't you agree?

Yesseca's eyes were sparkling when she looked at Kylin.

He felt like her eyes were even dazzling than the stars in the sky at this moment.

When he saw them, he felt a little dizzy.

After a while, he came to his senses. "Yes, you're right."

Then, they found the director to inquire about Tadeus.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

The director told them that he was getting used to his stay there. It was just that he was always silent and gloomy when the others were having a conversation about their children.

Hearing this, Yesseca said to the director, "Can I ask you for a favor? If that happens again, can you tell Tadeus that he can see me as his family? He can think of me as his daughter."

The director smiled and praised her, "You're a good girl, Yesseca."

Then he looked at Kylin and said, "This must be your boyfriend. He looks like a good person too."

Blushing, she hastened to explain, "He's not my boyfriend. You've misunderstood, but he is kind too."

Hurriedly, the director apologized, "I'm sorry. So he is a volunteer too."

After leaving the old folk's home, Kylin invited Yesseca to dinner, but she refused.

With a solemn look on his face, he said, "Didn't you tell me that we should help others if we can do so? You must be hungry, so isn't me asking you to

dinner helping you?"

What he said was logical and reasonable.
