My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Ruth would never forget it for the rest of her life if they gave her this blow now.

Tremaine wanted Zorion to give that blow to Ruth so she would give up on Zorion once and for all. Zorion had already chosen Yuliana.

Then there was no point for them to continue their affair.

"Don't go." Tremaine said word by word, "Unless you choose Ruth and divorce Yuliana."

Zorion was stupefied.

Time ticked by.

Zorion still hadn't shown up.

Ruth's urge to see him had not faded over time but only grew stronger.

It was like a seedling in her heart, proliferating, filling her entire heart.

She kept begging Madam Quartleyto let Zorion come.

Madam Quartleywas also getting anxious. "I've already called Zorion. He will come."

However, he still didn't show up after another halfhour wait.

Madam Quartley worried Ruth would misconceive, thinking she forbade Zorion from coming.

She didn't mind if it were in normal circumstances. However, Ruth was giving birth now, so she didn't want her to misunderstand her, making another call, "Hear it for yourself if I've ordered Zorion to come." The phone was answered in two shakes.

The servant answered it.

Zorion had no habit of keeping his phone with him, so Madam Quartley called the servants.

"Are you bringing Zorion over?" Madam Quartley asked.

"Madam Quartley, Mr. Zorion doesn't want to go."

Madam Quartley was stunned.

She didn't expect that.

She glanced at Ruth subconsciously, only to find that there was also a flash of disbelief in her eyes.

"Mr. Zorion, I want him to come," Ruth muttered.

Madam Quartley simply said, "Ask Zorion to answer the phone."

Soon, Zorion's voice came, "Grandma."

His voice was filled with sadness.

Madam Quartley said, "Ruth is giving birth. Are you not coming to see her?" "I won't." Zorion squatted down, put the phone aside, and buried his face in his knees as he covered his ears. Zorion's action baffled the servant. Seeing his unusual behavior, plus Tremaine's presence, she didn't dare take the phone back, standing aside.

Madam Quartley looked at Ruth and said, "You heard that. Zorion doesn't want to come, so don't force him anymore. We have doctors and nurses here; everything will be fine."

Ruth gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to Madam Quartley.

Madam Quartley understood that she was asking for the phone.

After some hesitation, she still handed the phone to Ruth.

Forget it!

They were at a critical moment.

As long as nothing happened to Ruth, she could do whatever she wanted.

Ruth took the phone.

She was in so much pain that her hand holding the phone was shaking intensely, nearly dropping it several times.

But she managed to clench it in her palm.

She put the phone next to her ear.

She said, "Mr. Zorion, it's me, Ruth. Can you hear me? I'm Ruth." No one responded.

However, she continued anyway, "The baby's coming. Haven't you been asking if the child would be boy or a girl and how they would look? Will they have a round face and big eyes like me? You'll be able to see it soon."

"The doctor said I'm 3cm dilated, and I can start pushing at ten. Only seven more now; it won't take much longer, and maybe by the time you reach, you'll be right in time to see the child."

"Can you hear me, Mr. Zorion? I'm sure you can, but why aren't you answering? Are you happy for me? That I'm finally giving birth?"

"I didn't know it'd be so excruciating

to give birth, Mr. Zorion. It hurts so

much it's unbearable. I thought I

could endure it at first because/et

grew up doing laborious work,

thought it would be nothing to me,

but it hurts so much."

"It hurts so much, Mr. Zorion. I really really want to see you. Please come, will you? Keep me company. I'll have the strength to push the baby after I see you. The doctor said I'll need all the strength I can get." "Mr. Zorion, please keep me company one last time."

There was no response still.

Strange; Ruth had been stuttering because of the pain.

But she could speak coherently to Zorion despite sounding weak.

Her words moved the doctor and nurses somewhat, even Madam Quartley...

She was feeling a mix of emotions.

She had always thought Ruth was a vixen who seduced Zorion for power. But seeing her curled up with a pale face as she muttered to the phone, an epiphany struck her.

Could it be that Ruth truly loved Zorion?

The notion frightened Madam Quartley.

Taking another look at her, she suddenly discovered Ruth wasn't as annoying as before, and in fact, pitiable.

Madam Quartley couldn't help dissuading Ruth, "Forget it, Ruth. He still won't come even after all you've said. Maybe he has something in his hands."

However, Ruth stubbornly held onto

the phone. "He will come no matter how important the thing he's dealing with is. He will definitely." On the other end of the line, because Zorion covered his ears, he didn't hear a

word Ruth said.

The servant didn't catch it all either. On the other hand, Tremaine, who had an acute sense of hearing because of training, heard her words loud and clear.

He was stunned.

She was nowhere in sight, but he could picture how she was at present.

She was curled up in a ball, muttering to the phone with hope in her eyes.

Tremaine suddenly pulled Zorion up.

Staring at his brother, he asked, "Zorion, choose again. Is it Yuliana or Ruth?"

Without waiting for Zorion's answer, he added, "I'll be honest with you, Ruth suits you better than Yuliana, and I think better of her."

Tremaine was giving Zorion a second chance.

It was the first time he had stated his choice between the two options.

Zorion was stunned.

Two figures kept flashing in his mind.

Ruth.

Yuliana.

They kept appearing in his mind, triggering his every nerve.
