My Heart only Beats for You

Those 15 minutes of waiting would be enough for Caroline to speak her mind to Selina.

Just as Selina was about to stand up, Caroline quickly pressed the gun into Selina's forehead and growled, "Kneel down," Selina glared at Caroline with her red-rimmed eyes.

Selina gritted out every single word as she spoke, "Caroline, I kneeled down just now so that you can helpsave Brennan. Do you still expectto kneel down before you? Dream on! Killif you dare!" Then, Selina stood up swiftly.

She seemed to be fearless of the gun in Caroline's hand and stared intently into Caroline's eyes.

"This is great. I like how you're still brave enough to stand up to me!" Caroline's eyes seemed to be imbued with malice as she continued, "Nevertheless, I'd like to see how long you'll be able to stand up towhen your body is full of worms and poison!" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Selina retorted.

Caroline chuckled and said, "It's not nonsense, Selina. Do you remember that tBrennan asked you out for a meal and we were all drinking? I'm pretty sure you didn't know that I placed a vermin into your glass. Have you heard of the Witch Clan's vermin? I put that into your glass," Selina couldn't believe it, "What are you talking about? All of this doesn't make sense. Do you think I will believe your petty lies?" "You don't believe me?" The corners of Caroline's lips curled up into a grin, "Have you been having headaches lately?" Selina froze.

How would Caroline know that she was having headaches lately? Caroline continued, "Originally, the vermin would have made your body rot, but you're pregnant and your baby is the one that's absorbing all the poison, which is why you're only having headaches lately. Don't worry, you won't be able to run away from the effects of the vermin. The sthing goes to your baby," Selina felt as if her whole being had been struck by thunder.

If it weren't for her recent headaches and the words the doctor uttered during her last ultrasound, she would never believe those ridiculous words that were coming out of Caroline's mouth.

But now! Selina's voice trembled a little as she said, "Caroline, what the hell did you do to me? Explain to me, how do you know that I've been having headaches?" "Nadia," Caroline's lips curved into a cold and venomous smile, "Do you still remember Nadia? Her husband offended you and was sent to jail by Matthew. Ever since then, she bore a grudge against you. It's just nice that she's from the Witch Clan. Do you know that there are many people in the Witch Clan who rear vermin? She's one of them," Caroline's words got more brutal and grueswhen she saw the incredulous shocking expression Selina wore on her face, "When Matthew imprisoned her husband, I went to find her. She had reared that vermin especially for you. I put it in the glass that you used to drink. You have parasites all over your body and because of that, your headaches will only worsen. Slowly, your body will dry out and you'll die," Then, Caroline burst into fits of sinister laughter.

There was an antidote.

Caroline had specially asked Nadia to make the antidote.

Although she hated Selina, her hatred was not to the point of wanting Selina to die.

Her initial plan was to torment Selina a little until Selina was willing to cry and beg for her mercy. Then, Caroline might consider saving Selina's life.

Now, her plan had changed.

She wanted Selina to die.

Selina must die.

Selina must die to pay for her father's life.

The antidote had been trampled into grains by Caroline.

Not to mention that Nadia was killed and gone.

The poison in Selina's body could no longer be cured.

Selina was destined to die.

Selina felt as if thousands of knives were being pierced into her body, and she was immersed in tremendous pain and agony.

She told herself that it was not true.

How could there be such an inconceivable thing in the world.

However, something was nagging and wringing at her heart.

Telling her that everything Caroline said was true.

Selina felt that her body was out of energy and she felt weak. Her headache began to manifest over her once more, this teven stronger than before.

Caroline stepped forward until her face almost touched Selina's, "Selina lettell you, your baby's done for. The poison has intoxicated your baby. This is what you've sowed, so this is what you'll reap," Selina felt as if her whole world was breaking down.

Just then, there was a sudden noise by the door.

Caroline immediately grabbed Selina and held her close, with the gun aimed at Selina's head.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Matthew rushed in.

His forehead was drenched in sweat and his cheeks were red. It was evident that Matthew had run all the way there.

"Put the gun down!" Matthew's eyes widened when he saw Caroline holding a gun to Selina's head.

Caroline sneered.

Looking at Matthew again, she suddenly found herself to be really foolish.

How could she be so careless and fall in love with Matthew? How could she be so silly! It was because of her love for Matthew that she was lured to Agaphen City by Selina. That was why so many things happened.

Without her affection for Matthew, she would not have cto this city in the first place, and it wouldn't have led to all the incidents that followed! Her father would not have died so tragically for no reason! She had planned to accompany her father throughout the rest of his life.

Now, everything was ruined.

All of it was destroyed! A wave of sadness and irony filled Caroline's heart.

"If you cany closer, I'll kill her!" Caroline's eyes were bloodthirsty.

Matthew clearly saw the malice and determination in Caroline's eyes. He was shocked.

Then Matthew raised his hands in surrender, "I won't cover Just don't do anything impulsive," Selina regained her sense of mind.

She shouted at Matthew, "Don't worry about me. Bring Brennan to them hospital first, hurry up, if not he will die!" As Selina spoke, a group of uniformed people rushed in.

They were the emergency services that Caroline had called over the phone.

The paramedics were stunned when they saw the scene before them and they retreated.

After all, someone was holding a gun. Who would dare to enter? Selina got more anxious, "Don't leave! Someone is dying!" "I'll bring him out," Matthew spoke coldly.

He carried Brennan out onto the stretcher and the paramedics left the scene immediately.

Matthew returned to the room.

He looked straight into Caroline's eyes. The trace of anxiety that om flashed through his eyes was gone in an instant. His eyes darkened and he said, "Release Selina. I'll take her place," Caroline sneered, "In your dreams!" "Then what the hell do you want!" Matthew growled in a deep voice.

"What do I want?" Caroline muttered. Her eyes suddenly turned somewhat misty.
