My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

It was customary of all members for the Welmert family to attend the funeral when a relative passed away. Ruth's cousin also told her before hanging up, "We're no longer in Nashaland. We moved to Agaphen City last year." "Alright, I'll come over and give my respects for the last time." Ruth replied.

After she hung up the phone, Ruth told the servants that she had to attend her relatives' funeral the following morning. She wasn't willing to leave her baby for even a second, but her relative had passed away.

The servant informed Madam Quartley about this and agreed to her request.

Besides, Ruth wasn't taking the baby with her. Madam Quartley had no issue with it.

After reporting this to Madam Quartley, Ruth made preparations to rush off to Agaphen City the next morning.

As the child got older, it didn't need to be breast fed as often any more.

It could go through several hours without making

a fuss.

She would be back later that afternoon after giving the baby a morning feeding.

But...

As she thought about going to Agaphen City, she suddenly thought of Yesseca.

She remembered that Yesseca was from Agaphen City.

She suddenly had an idea.

She might run into Yesseca when she went to attend her funeral.

Ruth laughed bitterly.

That was such a childish thought.

Agaphen City was such a large city, it would be impossible for her to run into Yesseca.

The odds of them running into each other was nearly impossible.

Not only was it impossible to bump into her in Agaphen City, it was likely that they would never see each other again.

Memories from the past flooded Ruth's mind.

She thought back on the times where she and Yesseca were still in the Quartley Palace.

Yesseca was a very kind woman.

She had saved her and gave her the confidence to go on.

When she was still in the Quartley Palace, Yesseca and the president were getting along beautifully.

The president doted on Yesseca all the time.

He didn't hesitate to offend Madam Quartley for Yesseca's sake.

She had thought that Yesseca would live a very happy life with the president, but that didn't turn out to be true. stead she broke things off with him and the president ended up marrying Rorita, who turned gut to be a much better match for him.

She wondered if Yesseca was doing alright...

Ruth smiled bitterly.

"Probably not." She thought.

Yesseca had been so in love with the president before. There was no way she was alright now that the president was married.

Just like her, she could never see Zorion ever again...

She wasn't happy either.

But, she still had the baby with her.. The baby was giving her all the. support she needed to temporarily

t about Zorion. Cont

Yesseca probably didn't have this kind of support to help her through things.

She must be having a very hard time right now.

Ruth felt completely helpless.

The feeling of seeing your friend being miserable but not being able to do anything about it.

It was probably the same for a lot of other people in this world.

This was their fate, there was nothing that could be done.

She was going through, so was Yesseca.

No one was exempted.

That night, Rorita waited for Tremaine to come home.

She told him that Madam Quartley agreed to let her raise the baby.

"Madam Quartley was worried that I had only suggested it due to a spur of the moment feeling. She told me to discuss this with you and to think about it. But I have already decided. I want to raise that baby." Rorita said gently.

"It all depends on whether you agree to it."

Tremaine's eyes rippled with emotion as he asked, "Why do you want to raise this baby?"

After all, in this day and age, no one wants to raise another person's baby.

He was afraid that Rorita had something else in mind.

Rorita shifted her gaze to the window.
