My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 2398

"It's because she wanted to draw a line between us." Tremaine's eyes were filled with melancholy. "After having it drawn so clearly, it's no worse than being treated as a stranger." Tremaine's explanation had enlightened him.

Say, no wonder Yesseca would be so determined to compensate him. It turned out to be because of this.

Sheldon couldn't help but take a peek at Tremaine, just in time to see the desolation within his eyes.

This made him feel a little troubled then.

He had been in this person's service for so many years after all, how could he live well after he saw Tremaine being like this!

"Mr. Tremaine." Sheldon deliberately changed the subject. "Didn't you say from the start that you were going to look for Ruth? We're already here anyways, why the sudden return to Quartley Palace?" "They are also here for her," Tremaine replied.

Sheldon was bemused for a moment before he realized who Tremaine was referring to.

Were Yesseca and Preslie here to look for Ruth?

Could there be such a coincidence?

He had initially wanted to ask Tremaine how he knew that the two of them were here to look for Ruth, but he swallowed his words back.

Forget it... it's better not to ask.

His original intention was to divert the topic. If he asked now, wouldn't that bring them back to the starting point??

Best not to mention Yesseca, lest the more she's mentioned, the more heartbroken Mr. Tremaine would be!

However, even when he didn't bring it up, Tremaine himself faintly blurted out a sentence, "She's such a good person, always such a good person." Tremaine could already guess the reason why Yesseca came to look for Ruth.

Back then, Yesseca and Ruth had a pretty good relationship.

He didn't expect that after so long, Yesseca would still remember Ruth and even personally come to Nashaland for her.

She had always been a kind-hearted girl.

It was true in the past, it was true even now.

He was the only one who didn't know how to cherish it.

A good girl like her slipped past him just like that.

A slip that he'll regret forever.

A trace of pain flashed across Tremaine's handsome face and he no longer spoke again.

It seemed that this accidental encounter with Tremaine did not have much of an impact on Yesseca.

At least it seemed so in Preslie's eyes.

After Sheldon had driven away,

Yesseca urged Preslie to quickly

look for Ruth then. Not a single word

of Tremaine was mentioned throughout, as if the one they had crashed into earlier was a stranger that parted ways after monetary compensation was given,

Soon after they arrived at Clementine Residential, both of them got the room number that Ruth was staying in, swiftly made their way over and knocked on the door.

There was no response even after a long while.

"Is she not in now? Should we wait?" Preslie asked.

Yesseca didn't think it was that simple however.

She went downstairs to replace the residential staff and asked them for the card to the room.

As it was such a small guesthouse, things weren't governed as strictly as any other accommodation. Hence, Yesseca successfully obtained the door card.

She swiped the door open but the sight that met her eyes stunned her into a stupor.

Everything was a mess within the tiny room and in the midst of it all, Ruth laid motionless on the ground.

"Ruth!" Yesseca immediately ran towards her body.

Ruth did not react to her call.

Yesseca's hand stretched out towards her nose and was able to faintly discern her breathing.

"Preslie, call the ambulance. Hurry!" Yesseca shouted.

Half an hour later, in one of the hospitals of Nashaland

Ruth was already out of danger.

The doctor disclosed to them that the reason why she had slipped into

unconsciousness was use she

had not eaten nor had a

water for the past few days.

Preslie's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates when she heard this "Not eat and drink? How could she bear with it!"

Yesseca let out a bitter laugh at that.

Preslie may not be able to understand, but she did.

It was bearable.

It was definitely bearable!
