My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1480

"All right."

When Selina and Matthew reached the door, a black Bentley was already waiting at the gate.

However, he did not get in the car.

He looked fixedly at her.

It was a full moon that day, and the moonlight was shining dimly onto the cold earth.

A dim light covered him and made him look somewhat surreal.

She felt like she was hallucinating.

Was he real or was he just her imagination?

She couldn't help but extend her hand, wanting to find out.

Her fingers swept past his face gently. The feeling from her fingers was telling her that he was real. He was not her imagination.

"Can you hug me, old man?" she muttered.

He stretched out his arm, and she fell into his embrace.

It was time to say goodbye, but she felt a wave of sorrow in her heart. She choked with sobs. "Old man, you must forget me after you leave and look for someone else to love, promise?"

Matthew's voice sounded from above her. "I promise. If you leave before me, I will move on to someone new."

She sniffed.

It meant that he had promised her.

After all, she was sure to leave this earth before him.

"Old Man, I have once thought about being with you for the rest of my life. We'll have children of our own, and well be as happy as Natalie and Tobias. But it seems like fate did not write that path for us to be together. That was why I was poisoned by Caroline..."

She suddenly stopped. Then, she forced a smile and said, "I can't blame God for this, but I do wish he would fulfil one wish of mine. I hope he'll let us be together in our next life. I hope there will be fewer things that will come between us, so we can live a happy life together."

"Silly girl, not just the next life. Well be together for all lifetimes," Matthew replied.

"Really?" she asked.

"Really."

Right then, she took a deep breath.

Straightening her body, she said, "It's a deal. You can find someone new in this life, but I'll be waiting for you in the next. You're mine in the next life, and all the next lives to come!"

Matthew stretched out his hand and said, "Let's swear to make it count."

She reached out her hand too.

And together they swore.

She felt the urge to cry getting stronger. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears, so she pushed him into the car. "Okay, it's time for you to leave. Remember our promise and how I look today. And also you're not allowed to come to my funeral. I want you to remember me when I'm the prettiest. Do you hear me?"

He took a deep look at her. It was as if he was engraving her image into his brain. Then, he said, "Selina, you're always beautiful to me."

Turning around, she urged him, "Get going now."

After a while, she heard the sound of the engine starting. She turned back after some time.

She watched his car disappearing into the distance.

Tears streamed down her face without control.

And it continued for an hour.

It had been such a long time since she cried so hard.

After crying, she went back to the villa. Instead of sleeping, she took out a notebook from the desk.

She was going to give this notebook to Tobias.

In the notebook were her last words.

She asked Tobias not to miss her when she was gone. She asked him not to be sad about it and live a happy life with Natalie.

Furthermore, she asked him to take care of Cecilia and made sure she would live the rest of her life in bliss.

She even asked him to hide it from Grandpa Peter, so he would not be too upset.

"But Matthew, don't you want to discuss it with your family? I think it's for the best." She still wanted to convince him.

Although Tobias had told her the secret about Matthew, she thought that it might not do much for the current situation.

At this moment, there was a hint of sadness on his face as he said, "Natalie, do you think my family would agree to this if I had discussed it with them?"

Natalie was struck silent.

She hoped his family would talk him out of it, but she did not expect he would shut her up with his reasoning.

Matthew looked at Tobias and said solemnly, "Tobias, promise to take care of my father when I am gone."

"Rest assured. From now on, Ludwik is my father too!" Tobias gave him his promise.

With that, Matthew was relieved.

He looked at the operating room ahead and said, "I'll be going in."

Tobias said nothing.

Then, Matthew strode towards the operating room.

When he was about to reach the door, Tobias suddenly rushed over. He grabbed Matthew's hand and said, "Matthew, why don't you reconsider?"

Matthew answered, "Tobias, you know that I won't change my mind."

Tobias persuaded, "This is a matter of life and death."

"If Natalie was in Selina's shoes, would you do the same?" Matthew stared into Tobias' eyes, interrogating him.

Tobias was silent.

After a long while, he let go of his hand. "I understand. You can go now."

Natalie also walked over.

But Matthew had already entered the operating room, and the door was closed.

Natalie had tears rolling in her eyes as she said, "Tobias, let's talk him out. Matthew does not have to die either."
