My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Mr. Zorion actually knew that floral teas could aid in childbirth?

Though it wasn't fundamental knowledge that's necessarily known to the common people, for Mr. Zorion to know about it was a very rare thing indeed.

She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zorion, how did you know about this? Did you hear it from others again?"

Zorion scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "I read it in a book. Inside the book, was written what type of foods are good for pregnant women, as well as what activities are suitable for them as well. I've noted down all of it." Ruth was even more astounded.

She knew for a fact that Mr. Zorion had never touched a book.

And yet for her sake...

Mr. Zorion genuinely cared about her.

He didn't know at all that the child inside her was of his blood, yet he still took such great care of her...

A current of warmth unwittingly spread out from within her chest.

Ruth drank the floral tea in one gulp.

Afterwards, Zorion spoke up once more about going out to the garden with her for a stroll.

She nodded in acquiescement, "Mr. Zorion, you head out first. I'll join you after I've changed into a looser set of clothing."

Ruth had changed into a set of roomy clothes and was about to push open the door when she all of a sudden heard the sound of voices.

It was a conversation between Zorion and a servant who had been taking care of her.

"You may serve the soup later. She just drank a cup of floral tea, she can't drink so many things at the same time. Ruth is now pregnant, you must be cautious." Zorion's voice was unusually serious.

The servant was amused.

Though Zorion was the eldest young master, due to the fact that his mentality wasn't too good -plus they had the majestic Tremaine around - for all that they didn't belittle him, they also weren't as careful as they were with other masters. "Look at you, Mr. Zorion. You are practically an encyclopaedia on all things pregnant women should know, you now know more than us who had been taking care of pregnant ladies for many years."

"I read a book. The book was about how to take care of pregnant women. I would read one chapter per day and note it down in my journal."

"Mr. Zorion, you really care about Miss Wei mart," the servant commented in a meaningful manner.

But Zorion didn't pick up on it.

"Of course I care about her. Since

Ruth's husband isn't here for her a lone woman like Ruth is really too pitiful. That's why we must take good care of her, otherwise she'll be sad." he replied honestly.

By the door, Ruth's breath stopped, her heart felt as if it had suddenly been clenched by something.

In regards to her so-called 'husband', Zorion had not brought it up for quite some time.

She had assumed that he had forgotten about it.

It was entirely out of her expectations that he had actually kept it to heart.

For him to care for her so considerately, was also because he pitied her for not having her 'husband' and didn't want her to spend her days miserably all by her lonesome. Ruth went teary-eyed.

Everyone thought that Mr. Zorion was a fool, that he was stupid. They assumed that he didn't know anything.

That was not true.

He knew all along.

Soon after, Ruth went with Zorion to the garden.

When they saw the receding backs of these two figures, the servant pursed their lips, "Truly a vixen, she's already pregnant to this extent and yet she still wants to reel in Mr. Zorion. Poor Ms. Yuliana."

Tremaine was also there in the garden.

Without Yesseca's presence in the Quartley Palace, it had become very depressing. Therefore, Tremaine took a stroll around the garden to

ease his heart. He didn't expect to see Zorion and Ruth from afar.

QUMS

On the other hand, they didn't notice him as they were a distance away and there was a big tree in front of Tremaine which hid him from view.

The two of them were in the midst of chatting.

As they chatted, there was a faint, happy smile on Ruth's face, whereas Zorion grinned until his teeth were showing.

Zorion was regaling on a TV program he had watched the previous day with Ruth.
