My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



Especially since Yesseca wanted to keep her only remaining box of reserve ointment for herself...

Madam Quartley waved her hand and said, "When have I said that I would let her replace me? Montez's mother should be next in line!"

Yuliana was delighted to hear that.

Madam Quartley didn't approve of Yesseca at all!

Yuliana chatted with Madam Quartley for a while more before returning to her villa.

She asked Ruth to prepare a pot of coffee for her then leisurely sat down on the sofa while she hummed a tune.

Yuliana was in a very good mood, she hadn't felt this way since Zorian woke up.

Ruth asked, "Madam Yuliana, did something good happen? You're in such a good mood today."

Yuliana's lips curled up. "Yes, I've gotten some good news. Madam Quartley doesn't like Yesseca anymore. She has seen through that woman's cheerful faqade."

Ruth suddenly spoke up, "Oh, but Madam Yuliana, I think Yesseca is quite a nice person actually."

As soon as she realized what she had said, she looked terrified.

She knew she had messed up.

But she couldn't take back what she had said.

Sure enough, Yuliana's fierce gaze fell upon her. "What did you just say?!"

Ruth had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Well, Madam Yuliana, its just that, I once fell into a lotus pond and she saved me, so I..."

"So you're grateful for her, is that right?!" Yuliana shouted.

Ruth quickly shook her head. "No, not at all."

Yuliana stood up and looked down at Ruth. "If you dare to speak up for that b*tch, then you've betrayed me once again! Ruth Welmert, have you forgotten how my parents treated you when you were with my family? If it weren't for them, you would have ended up as dead as a dog on the street!" Ruth dropped to her knees.

"Madam Yuliana, I was mistaken! I was wrong! I shouldn't have said that!"

This however, did not calm Yuliana down.

Right now, the person she despised was Yesseca, and the person that she cherished had defended her. She would not tolerate this! Thunk."

Yuliana raised her foot and kicked Ruth hard in the chest.

"Go on then! Defend her! Tell me more!"

Ruth felt pain throughout her body.

Trembling, she begged, "Madam Yuliana, please! I won't do it again."

"No, I think you've forgotten your place!" Yuliana kicked even harder.

Suddenly, a man's voice called out. "Honey!"

Zorion had heard the commotion and ran down to see what was going on.

When he saw Yuliana kicking Ruth, he quickly grabbed Yuliana's hand. "Honey, stop kicking her! It's Ruth! Ruth is good!"

Yuliana grew even angrier as Zorion tried to stop her.

She poked Zorion's forehead with her finger and said, "You idiot! You're begging for mercy for someone else's sake. Look at your miserable self!" Zorion stubbornly held his ground. "Honey, stop kicking Ruth. She is a good person."NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Yuliana burned with anger.

Zorion, the fool, had always been obedient towards her. But he had stopped her, all for a servant!

Yuliana angled her high-heels and kicked Zorion's chest. "You stupid fool, get out of my way!"

Ruth jumped onto Zorion when she saw Yuliana kicking him.

She shouted, "Madam Yuliana, you can't do this! If Mr. Tremaine finds out, it'll be over!"

Yuliana was shocked to hear that!

She almost forgot that Tremaine was still here!

Although Tremaine hadn't said anything, he must have been watching. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found Zorion the last time!

She had already made a mental note to herself to be more restrained!

This was all Zorion's fault!

Yuliana shouted angrily, "Both of you, get out of here! I'm annoyed just looking at you!"

Later, Ruth treated Zorion's wounds.

Although Zorion had only been kicked once, Yuliana's kicks were heavy and hard. She had kicked just above his waist. He had a very large bruise. Ruth wrapped some ice in a towel and placed it on Zorion's wound.

She asked with some distress, "Does it hurt, Mr.

Zorion?"

Zorion flashed his pearly white teeth with his silly smile at her and said, "No, it doesn't hurt."

Zorion said it didn't hurt, but Ruth's heart ached painfully.

Ruth really regretted her mistake.

If she hadn't made that mistake, Yuliana wouldn't have hit her. All of this could have been avoided if she had just kept her mouth shut.

Ruth's conscience was filled with regret.

It's one thing for her to suffer the punishment by herself, but Zorion got hurt as well.

Ruth felt compelled to say, "Mr. Zorion, if you see that happen again, please don't worry about me. If

Madam Yuliana wants to hit m'

then let her. If you were to get Kurt again for helping me, I'll never forgive myself."

Zorion's eyes widened. "I can't do that. You're a good person. I can't let you get hurt like that."

"But you'll get beaten up, Mr. Zorion!" Ruth exclaimed loudly.

Zorion laughed again. "I don't mind, as long as you don't get hurt."

Ruth's heart felt warm.

She could feel her body getting warmer too.

The warmth almost made her break out in tears.

She was just a servant.

A lowly servant.

She was someone they could easily beat up and yell at, but Mr. Zorion...

Ruth bit her lip.

Mr. Zorion protected her. She had to protect him too from now on.

The housekeeper went to deliver the reserve ointment to Tremaine at the hospital.

"Mr. Tremaine, what has happened to Miss Cowell?" Noel asked just before he left.

Tremaine looked at him and said, "None of your business."

Noel was speechless.

He was accustomed to Tremaine's indifferent attitude. He laughed to himself and left right after.

Tremaine handed the reserve ointment to the female doctor and instructed her to apply it on Yesseca's wound.

A short while later, the doctor stepped out.

She said to Tremaine awkwardly, "Mr. Quartley, Miss Cowell won't let me apply the medicine on her."

He frowned, "Why not?"

"She's afraid of the pain."

He took the box of reserve ointment and said, "I'll do it."

As soon as he walked in, he heard Montez and Yesseca talking to each other. "Yesseca, there's no need to be afraid. It'll hurt, but you'll have to endure it. When I was a baby, I found it painful too, but I pushed through."

Yesseca let out a bitter laugh.

She felt pretty lousy right now.

I

Turns out, she was afraid of medicine. She had seen how painful it looked when patients in the hospital took them and was afraid of going through the same kind of pain.

But then, Yesseca grit her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

She wasn't a delicate girl. She could take it! "Then I'll get the doctor." Montez suddenly stopped talking.

Because Tremaine had just walked in.

"Daddy!" Montez called out.

"You should step outside." Tremaine said.
