My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1481

"Forget it, Natalie." Tobias said in a low voice,

"Let's respect Matthew's wish."

Essie and Lothar landed at Hill Valley around 4 in the morning.

After waiting for about an hour, they got on a bus to Witch Clan.

The road to the mountains was a bumpy one, and he was starting to feel motion sick.

Seeing him in this state, she handed him a small packet of crackers, saying, "Thank goodness I brought this with me. Have some. It will help you with your motion sickness."

He accepted it.

After one cracker, he felt much better. The urge to vomit was now gone.

He was very anxious on their way there. He kept asking her if they were there yet.

Therefore, she had to comfort him from time to time. She told him, "We'll be there soon. We'll arrive by dawn."

Sure enough, the bus came to a halt by dawn.

But this was just a lift to bring them closer to their destination, and they still had to walk a certain distance deeper into the mountain.

It was Lothar's first time walking on such a rugged road. Along the way, he had been poked by the sharp branches. Feeling the pain, he turned around, and soon a line formed on his skin with blood dripping from it.

On the other hand, Essie was fine.

Because she had lived in the mountains since she was a child, she was used to the rugged road.

Her heart ached for him when she saw how hard it was for him.

With that, she stopped and said, "Why don't we take a break? You are wounded."

However, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine. It's not necessary. The earlier we get there, the earlier we can find a way to save Selina."

She blurted out, "But we can't be sure that we can find my master. Plus, I already concluded that there is no cure for her. My master might think the same too."

Raising his head to the sky, he asked, "Essie, do you think the sun will rise soon?"

She followed suit. "I don't think so. But it should be soon," she replied.

Just then, the sun was barely peeking out from the horizon, shining softly onto the land beneath it.

Wiping his forehead, he said, "I think so too. Although there's only a bit of sunlight, it'll rise soon."

Immediately, she understood what he meant.

He was saying that even if there was only a bit of hope, they would fight for it.

Then, she took a glance at him.

At this moment, his clothes were already in tatters from the tree branches, and there was even trails of blood seeping out from his injuries. However, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to move forward.

She felt something in her heart.

As she walked, she asked, "Lothar, if you're not related to her, what is she to you? You care about her so much."

"A friend," he replied.

"Do you care for friends this much?" she couldn't help but ask.

There was a hint of jealousy in her tone.

"Of course. She is my best friend!"

Hearing his words, she stopped breathing for a short moment.

"What about me? What am I to you?"

Right then, he stopped walking.

Looking at her, he said, "You are a good friend of mine too."

She asked, "If something happened to me, would you also go this far for only a bit of hope?"

"Yes," he replied in a loud and clear voice.

With that, she felt a burst of energy from her body.

Pointed to the front, she announced, "Lothar, look. My master used to live in this house. We're almost there."

He looked ahead.

But he couldn't see anything.

Based on Essie's words, he knew that they were not too far away. Therefore, he picked up his pace.

Thirty minutes later, a shabby house appeared in front of him.

Lothar came from a poor family. However, he felt like his house was much more luxurious than the house in front of him.

He could not believe that someone would be living in such a hut.

And it was desolate all around, with no signs of human habitation.

"Does your master really stay here?" He was in disbelief.

Hearing his words, Essie whispered, "Yes. My master has locked herself away in this house. She must be here, unless..."

After that, he ran into the house.

He wanted to ask her master directly as he did not want Selina to die like this. He could not accept it.

Unfortunately, Essie grabbed hold of him and told him, "Lothar, stop acting like a mad man. My master dislikes strangers. If you go in like this, you will offend my master. Come back!"

However, he refused.

"I must ask her myself. I don't believe that there is no way to save Selina. I need to hear it from her myself."

Essie cried, "Stop it! Cut it out!"

Being hold back by force by her, he pushed out in the spur of the moment. With that, she stumbled backward.

Then, he was about to rush in.

She was panicking as she gathered herself.

Just as he was about to enter, she shouted, "Lothar, there is a way to save her!"

Hearing her words, he stopped in his tracks.

Staring at Essie, he urged her, "Tell me now. What is it?"

However, she said with some difficulty, "There's a way, but the chance of success is almost none, because..."

Selina woke up in the morning.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Matthew's face in front of her.

She was stunned.

Therefore, she rubbed her eyes.

However, the sight before her was still him.

She sat up immediately.

"D- didn't you leave last night?" she asked in astonishment.

His voice was gentle as he replied, "I came back."

Admittedly, when she saw him when she woke up, she felt a sudden flare of joy. But it lasted for a moment.

Within a second, Selina turned mad. "Matthew, but you promised me!"

Matthew had already promised her that they would never see each other after the night before.
