My Heart only Beats for You

Selina's eyes immediately lit up.

It hadn't occurred to her until Matthew mentioned it, but it did make sense.

"Have you spoken to my mother yet?" she asked worriedly.

Matthew let out a bitter smile. "I did. But just like you said earlier, she's already made up her mind, and she's not willing to try." He threw his hands up in defeat. "I'd like it to give it a try, but I have to respect your family's decision. Anyway, I can't guarantee anything will change. It's just something to try." Selina's gaze wavered, and she lowered her head thoughtfully.

After a moment, she slapped a palm on the car seat. "Let's just do it. I'll bring Natalie to see Tobias. I'm a Whitlock, after all, and I'll do it on my family's behalf." This time, Selina decided to go all out.

Initially, she wanted to tell Natalie about Tobias, but she had held herself back because of Cecilia.

But since Matthew had expressed his support, Selina finally had an excuse to go against Cecilia's wishes.

She had to tell Natalie.

She really couldn't bear to see them being torn apart like this, especially since Natalie was waiting for Tobias so trustingly.

However...

Selina was taken aback.

Why was the car seat so soft? She subconsciously looked down, and her face turned red in an instant.

She thought that she'd smacked the car seat, when in fact she'd been slapping Matthew's hand.

"Oh my God! I'm sorry." Flustered, Selina looked up in a panic.

His profound eyes met hers, and he stared at her with a meaningful glance.

She grew even more embarrassed, wincing a little "I'm really, really sorry!" "As long as it makes you happy." Matthew grinned slightly, eyes glued to her face.

Selina avoided his gaze and got out of the car. "I'm going to tell Natalie about Tobias. You wait here, I'll bring her down right away." Matthew stared at Selina's figure as she left, pondering to himself.

Nine years had passed, and Selina was already turning twenty-five.

But she was just as adorable and lively as when she was only sixteen.

She did not seem to age at all.

Selina barged into Natalie's apartment and saw that Natalie was busy knitting a sweater.

Natalie didn't seem surprised at Selina's sudden reappearance, or perhaps she was too focused on the sweater. Natalie showed her the half- finished product. "Selina, I'm knitting this sweater for Tobias. Have a look. Do you think it fits him well?" Selina was not in the mood to talk about sweaters. "Natalie, stop bothering with the sweater and cto the States withnow. We found Tobias, and he's in the States. Quick, cwith me." Natalie's body froze when she heard that.

She was stunned for a moment before she turned around to look at Selina. "What did you say?" "I said, we found Tobias, and I want you to go to United States with me. Right now," Selina stressed.

The sweater fell from Natalie's hand to the ground.

Tobias. He was in the United States.

Natalie's eyes started to water.

Her instincts were right. Tobias was indeed still alive.

She knew how much he had loved her, and he would never leave her alone.

In order to save time, Matthew had arranged for them to board his private jet instead.

Natalie's hands shook uncontrollably throughout the flight.

Her heart pounded wildly just at the thought of seeing Tobias soon, and she felt dizzy, as if she was about to pass out.

Selina noticed Natalie's anxiousness as well.

She held Natalie's hand. "Don't be nervous, Natalie. I don't want you to pass out on this plane." Natalie sucked in a shaky breath.

She forced out a smile. "Selina, do I look good? I was in such a hurry that I didn't even tidy myself before coming out." Natalie combed her fingers through her hair. "Will Tobias be upset at how sloppy I look?" She'd just gone through a round of baking and was covered in flour. If she'd known that she'd be seeing Tobias, she would've cleaned up and dressed up nicely.

Selina's heart ached.

Her grip on Natalie's hand tightened. "Natalie, please be mentally prepared. Actually, Tobias is in a coma, and he hasn't woken up yet. He can't see what you look like." Natalie's eyes widened in shock.

Then, Selina told Natalie everything.

"I don't know the details either, but it was something like Tobias managed to get into a box that could protect him from the explosion. It sank to the bottom of the ocean, and he was already unconscious when they found him because of the lack of oxygen. He's been in a coma for a long tnow... Natalie, I'm sorry for only telling you this now." Selina explained, her tone sounding apologetic. Search The Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Natalie's head was abuzz.

Tobias hadn't woken up yet...

Soon, she cback to her senses.

"It's alright. Everything will be fine. Tobias will be okay," she reassured Selina, and at the stime, she was trying to comfort herself by telling herself the sthing. Tobias had already managed to survive such a horrible explosion, so he would definitely get through this, wouldn't he? It was only a coma. She believed that he would wake up soon.

The three of them were surprisingly lucky that day.

When Selina and Matthew took Natalie into the ICU to see Tobias, Cecilia and Peter were not there. Only a few medical staff were inside.

The medical staff knew Selina, so they immediately let her in.

After weeks of separation, Natalie finally saw Tobias in the flesh. The difference was, one of them was unconscious.

The sight of Tobias lying in the ICU struck her like lightning. She could feel her whole body trembling. Natalie thought she was mentally prepared to see him.

She only expected him to be lying on the bed, looking like he was asleep.

However, when she saw the tubes plugged into his body, including an ECG and an oxygen mask...

Natalie stood there, stunned, for a full minute before looking at Selina. She spoke tremblingly, "How... how did he... how did he end up like this?" Selina's tone was bitter. "He's been like this for a long time." Natalie's heart sank. It was like someone had pushed her into the pits of hell.

She stumbled towards Tobias, unsteady on her feet.

When Natalie reached the side of the bed, her legs gave out under her, and she fell to her knees.

Selina immediately stepped forward to help Natalie, but Matthew shot her a warning glance.

She took the hint and took a few steps back, hesitant, but her eyes did not leave Natalie.

Natalie reached out to caress Tobias's face, her fingers shaking uncontrollably. "Wake up, Tobias. It's Natalie. I'm here to see you. Please, wake up." There was no response.

"Why do you need to have so many tubes plugged into you? You don't wake up, look good at all O and we can get all these tubes out of you, okay?" X
