My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 878

Dylan's eyes were still shut tight, and his face was twisted in pain.

For all the agony he showed, Selina felt it even worse inside her.

Missha wasn't exaggerating. Even unconscious, he was calling out for her.

She couldn't help herself from walking closer.

"Dylan, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere, please get some rest." she said softly.

Just as she finished speaking, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

Selina jumped in shock.

Dylan quickly sat up and pulled her into his arms. "Selina, don't leave me. I won't let you go!"

His strong, manly scent enveloped her just as tightly as his grip.

It was a comfortingly familiar feeling.

She found herself slipping into a daze.

She wanted to break away from Dylan's gripping embrace, but couldn't find the strength to do so.

"Selina, this was all my fault, it was all on me. You can't leave me, you just can't." Dylan's voice shuddered with all kinds of mixed emotions.

Selina bit down hard on her lip.

The sharp pain from the corner of her mouth gave her the moment of clarity she needed.

"Dylan, stop saying that. We've already broken up." "Selina, we've broken up many times before, but we've always made up in the end. This is just the same. We've been together for so many years, we've become one, there's no way we can be apart. You can't leave me and I can't leave you!" His voice was hoarse and aching.

She bit her lip even harder. "It's different this time. It's not like our previous break ups. I found a new boyfriend and I'm starting over. I really hope you can do the same. Let's stop all of this and move on from all the pain, okay?"

Selina was begging him.

It was different this time.

This time, Dylan had very thoroughly broken her heart. This time, she had Matthew.

Matthew was so amazing.

So amazing, that she couldn't believe that someone as insensitive as her could even stand it.

"Selina!" exclaimed Dylan in even more distraught. "Don't mention that other man. I may not know who he is, but I know for a fact that you don't love him. Am I right?!"

His grasp relaxed as he looked earnestly into her eyes. He held his breath, his body rigid, as he waited for her answer.

Her eyelashes began to tremble furiously.

She couldn't answer.

She had a very fond impression of Matthew. He was so mature, so reserved and he was such a gentleman. Anyone would think he was perfect.

But deep down, she knew, she did not have any love for him.

After all how could she? She and Dylan have been inseparable for so many years, ever since they were students. There wasn't enough time for her to fall in love again with someone new, not with how little time had passed since their breakup.

Now that she was with Matthew, she hoped that with enough time and effort, she would find a way to be in love with him.

The look of guilt on her face only confirmed Dylan's thoughts.

"Selina, you're only trying to provoke me, aren't you? That's why you found another man, to upset me. I refuse to believe that you'd throw away all those years we've spent together only to fall in love with someone else in just a few days!" He paused and a look of harsh bitterness glimmered across his eyes. "Let's both be done with this whole mess. Let's stop messing around, okay?"

Selina held her breath.

She stared at Dylan. "Did you really think I was just screwing around?"

The pain she felt was written in her eyes.

After a brief moment, she continued. "That's it. You're looking better now, so I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

As she turned and walked away, Dylan got up and chased after her but was held back by something tugging on him.

The IV needle was still attached to his arm.

He violently pulled out the needle, causing a stream of blood to escape from his freshly wounded arm.

Selina stopped.

When Dylan had pulled out the needle, he had ruptured a blood vessel causing him to bleed out violently.

Selina didn't dare to leave him now.

She was afraid he might do something impulsive again.

Never had she imagined how far he would go, how determined he was, to get her to stay.

Her mind was wracked with shock.

When Dylan broke his promise and refused to marry her, she thought he had been lying to her about their entire relationship.

She did not want to be with someone didn't love her anymore.

That night, she saw things more clearly about Dylan. She saw that he was a man who had come from nothing, who carefully built his own career from the bottom.

She realized it wasn't that he didn't love her anymore. He didn't want to rush into marrying her without having first earned some more stability.

He wanted to give her his very best.

But she was already with Matthew. She had agreed to be in a relationship with him and she didn't want to let him down.

She admitted to herself, she was hesitant.

After realizing Dylan's true intentions, she wasn't so sure anymore.

The voice in her heart was telling her to go back to Dylan, that this was all a misunderstanding. She had completely misread his intentions.

But she couldn't do that.

She couldn't bear the thought of doing so when Matthew had been so good to her.

Looking at Dylan now however, her sympathy for Matthew faded away and once more Dylan became the center of her affections.

For the next few days, Selina stayed by Dylan's bedside.

She constantly reminded herself, the only reason she was there was because she was afraid he would harm himself again.

But she knew that was just a lie.
