My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1261

Selina was shocked.

Matthew had disappeared by the time she came to her senses.

She returned to Lothar's ward in despair.

When Lothar saw how she looked, he couldn't help but ask nervously, "Selina?"

Her knees suddenly buckled as she looked at Lothar.

She supported herself against the wall. "Lothar, something has happened."

Lothar grew even more anxious. "What happened?

Selina, please don't scare me like this."

Her lips turned pale as she mumbled, "She attempted something stupid. She hurt herself."

Matthew rushed to the hospital. He ran through all the red lights, almost getting himself into a car accident.

He ran to the operating room as soon as he arrived at the hospital.

Liselle was standing outside the operating room waiting. Her face was stained with tears.

Matthew was out of breath. "Saoirse. What happened to Saoirse?"

Liselle cried out, "Mr. Perry, Miss Saoirse asked me to eat with her and drink red wine together. Everything was fine at first. I don't know what happened, but then I suddenly heard a gunshot. I went upstairs and saw that Miss Saoirse had attempted something stupid!"

Matthew's mind was all over the place.

He forced himself to control his emotions.

"How is she now?"

She shook her head. "They're still trying to save her. I have no idea."

Matthew immediately went to find the doctor in charge.

The doctor told him that Saoirse had missed, but that the surgery was still risky. They couldn't be sure if they would be able to save her.

Matthew's fingers trembled.

He look straight into the doctor's eyes. "Please do your best to save her. You have to."

The doctor nodded. "We will do everything we can."

Selina and Lothar came outside the ward.

The ward was crowded. It was hard for them to talk.

She placed her hands on her knees. She wrung her hands together as she said, "Lothar, how could this have happened? Matthew told me that she was all right and had decided to go back to Germany. Why did this happen?"

Lothar felt a little dizzy.

He still hadn't fully processed what had happened.

When he last saw Selina, she said that she had broken up with Matthew because he had a wife. But they had even come to see him together later on, appearing completely fine.

He figured that it had been a misunderstanding and that it had been cleared up.

He had never anticipated that there would be such an incident.

He was in a muddle.

He couldn't stop himself from asking. "Selina, what on earth is going on?"

She drummed her fingers against her knee. She took a deep breath and told him everything.

She narrated what had happened in third person to ease her nerves.

Selina talked slowly. She was even incoherent at times. It took her a long time to finish her story. Lothar finally managed to figure out the gist of it.

Lothar was also shocked.

He felt as if he had seen this in a movie. "Is this a movie?"

"It's not a movie. It's all true."

He was in disbelief. "Do such things happen in reality? Selina, I can't believe it."

She smiled bitterly. "It's true. Sometimes life is more exciting than movies. When we have time, I'll tell you about my brother and sister-in-law. Their love story was a real movie."

Tobias had called to ask how she and Matthew were doing.

She answered in a low voice, "Tobias, you shouldn't have called now. There's so much going on."

"Selina, what's wrong?"

She heaved a sigh. "Tobias, that woman shot herself."

Tobias's breath caught in his throat.

"How could this be?"

She was extremely distressed. "I've no idea. I have to go to the hospital. Tobias, I'm really not in the mood to talk right now."

She hung up on him.

About 20 minutes later, she reached the hospital.

She called Matthew again. "I'm at the hospital. Which floor are you on?"

His breathing paused briefly.

He had thought that she was only asking about his whereabouts. He hadn't expected her to actually come.

He said bitterly, "Selina, you didn't have to come."

"I wanted to." She insisted, "Matthew, no matter what happens, we have to face it together, right?"

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Selina, thank you. Thank you for understanding."

"Tell me, which floor are you on and which room are you in now? I'll be right there."

"Outside the operating theatre on the fifth floor."

She hung up and rushed there.

She saw Matthew.

He looked like the life had been sucked out of him.
