My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"Don't worry, Yuliana," Qiana said. "I'm prudent. By the time they find out Mr. Zorion's drugged, they'd think it was Ruth who did it."

"But I'm still a little worried." Yuliana fret, "Do you think Tremaine will suspect? With Ruth about to give birth, it isn't possible for her to drug Zorion like that."

At that, Qiana whispered in her ear, "That's why, Yuliana, we have to put on one last performance tonight. After the show is over, Mr. Tremaine will have no room for doubt." Meanwhile, Zorion and Ruth were strolling in the garden.

It was now almost the end of summer, and it would get cool quickly when night fell; a walk in the garden at this time was even more inexplicably relaxing.

"Mr. Zorion, please don't visit me anymore after this child is born." Ruth had always wanted to tell Zorion that but could never muster up the courage. She finally said it that night. The baby was moving intensely that afternoon. The doctor came and announced the baby was due in a few days.

Zorion was stunned.

He stared blankly at her. "Why?"

Ruth forced a smile onto her lips, "Because my husband may come over at that time. If he discovers you visit me constantly, he will definitely be a little jealous." Zorion ran the statement in his head over and over before he understood.

He immediately waved his hand around. "Ruth, we're friends."

"Yes, we're friends, but my husband will still be upset." Ruth looked at Zorion pleadingly. "So please don't come looking for me after my baby is born." Zorion sunk into silence.

Ruth added, "Didn't you say it yourself, Mr. Zorion? You're happy to see that I'm happier nowadays, and you'd agree to any of my requests if it makes me happy." Zorion nodded.

"Then promise me you'll stop visiting," Ruth said, "I'll be happy like that."

Zorion looked at her with hesitance. "You'll only be happy if I don't come to see you?"

Ruth nodded despite her heartache.

Her heart was in a frantic turmoil, agonizing.

It wasn't like that at all!

In actuality, Mr. Zorion's daily visits lately were the happiest days of her life.

Heavens knew how reluctant she was to part from such days.

But she knew better.

These days were only temporary.

It was impossible for Mr. Zorion and her to stroll and chat so unscrupulously forever.

Although she was extremely reluctant.

But she knew this was her destiny.

This was her life as a servant.

It was all fate.

There was nothing she could do at all.

Zorion finally agreed.

He lowered his head, looking dejected. "Then I promise you, Ruth."

Seeing Zorion like that, Ruth wanted to comfort him, but she was too heart-stricken, and it was as though there was something stuck inside her throat, unable to mustera word.

In the end, she took pains to "It's

"Okay." Zorion may have agreed, but he was evidently even more dejected.

Zorion saw Yuliana right as he returned to Quartley Palace.

She was waiting for him at the door to their bedroom.

She did something Zorion had never expected.

He was so shocked that he thought he saw the light.
