My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 1744

Montez was tearing up again. "Daddy, you can't leave me. You just can't. I want you to live a very long life."

Tremaine was lost for words.

He frowned. "What are you even talking about?"

Yesseca walked over to them.

Her heart ached at the sight of Tremaine.

It had not been long since they had last seen each other, yet Tremaine looked vastly different. He looked exhausted, and his dark eye circles were obvious.

It seemed like the WT virus was taking its toll on Tremaine.

On her way here, Yesseca felt like she had so many things to say to him.

However, she found herself at a loss for words and just gazed at him wordlessly.

After a while, she finally said, "Tremaine, you have to stay strong and win the battle against the virus. I know you can do it. You've always been so strong and willful, I'm sure you'll be able to survive it!"

Yesseca's eyes turned red as she spoke.

She wanted to cry, but forced herself to keep it together.

Tremaine's frown grew deeper.

What were Montez and Yesseca up to, showing up so suddenly and spouting nonsense?

Just then, Noel hurried up to them.

He had not been able to catch up to Montez's car after all.

Noel's forehead was covered in sweat. He grabbed hold of Montez and said, "Mr. Montez, let me take you home."

This was not the time for Montez to be causing a fuss.

Montez refused to leave, however.

Noel tugged harder.

Montez wrested free of Noel's grip and glared at Noel. "Why do I have to leave when Daddy's about to die? I want to stay here and be with him!" Everyone was shocked to hear him say that.

Tremaine looked at Noel grimly. "What's going on here?"

Noel was just as confused as he was.

He had no idea what was going on either.

He could only ask Montez, "Mr. Montez, what are you talking about? Mr. Tremaine's fine. You shouldn't say such nonsense!"

Montez glared at Noel.

"Weren't you the one who said that Daddy was about to die because of some virus? How is it that I'm the one spouting nonsense now?"

Noel fell silent.

He felt completely, utterly wronged.

When had he ever said something like that?

Noel quickly explained, "Mr. Montez, I had no choice but to tell you the truth the other day when you wouldn't let it go. I said that Mr. Zorion was the one who'd gotten the WT virus, not Mr. Tremaine!"

Montez was stunned into silence.

So was Yesseca.

They exchanged glances.

Soon, Yesseca and Montez found out the whole truth.

Tremaine was fine.

It had all just been a misunderstanding.

Zorion was the one who was sick.

Fortunately, he was out of danger at the moment.

After learning the truth, Yesseca was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig herself a hole and hide in it.

What was wrong with her?

It was fine for Montez to kick up a fuss about this, yet she had gone alone with him!

She had come all this way without even checking the facts.

She truly wanted to applaud herself.

Yesseca looked at Tremaine, feeling extremely awkward. "Er, Tremaine, looks like it was all a misunderstanding. It's great that you're fine. I, er, I have to get to work, so I'll be leaving now."

After that, she hurried away.

At first, Tremaine did not stop her. A moment later, he suddenly chased after her.

Madam Quartley's face fell.

She had been so taken aback by Montez's sudden appearance and outburst, but Tremaine's actions jolted her back to her senses. She watched as Tremaine chased after Yesseca.

She yelled at Tremaine to stop.

However, he pretended not to hear her.

Madam Quartley wanted to chase after him, but she was too old to do so and could only blame it on Noel. "It's all your fault, telling Montez such nonsense!"

Noel hung his head guiltily. "It's all my fault, Madam Quartley!"

Madam Quartley then said in a low voice, "Why did Montez suddenly ask about Tremaine? Was it that woman egging him on again? I knew she wasn't some innocent character!"

After finding out that Zorion was the one who was ill, Montez wanted to go see him right away.

Though he could not enter the

quarantine room, at least he could see Zorion through the window. At that moment, Montez was pressed up against the window, so Madam Quartley was not afraid that he would hear her.

Noel hung his head even lower.

He did not know how to answer Madam Quartley.

Madam Quartley pondered for a moment, then said to him, "Go and get Tremaine back here. Tell him Montez needs him. Hurry!"

She did not want Tremaine spending any time with Yesseca.

The way Madam Quartley saw it, Yesseca had to have known the truth and had purposely found a way to mislead Montez so that she could take the chance to come to see Tremaine!

Yesseca knew that Tremaine was no longer interested in her, and this had to be her way of getting close to him again.

There was no way she would allow Yesseca to succeed!

Tremaine managed to catch Yesseca.

He gazed at Yesseca. "You thought I was sick."

Yesseca was extremely embarrassed.

She scratched her head awkwardly. "It was nothing but a misunderstanding. Sorry about that." "You're very nervous." Tremaine's eyes flashed

knowingly.

Yesseca did not respond.

Was she?

Was she nervous?

Tremaine suddenly took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Yesseca, do you care about me?"

His question caused her heart to skip a beat.

She instinctively tried to defend herself. "No, I... it's just me being worried for a friend."

"Just friends?" Tremaine retorted.

"Of, of course." Yesseca's eyelashes fluttered.

Tremaine stared deeply into Yesseca's eyes as if he wanted to look right into her heart.

Yesseca could not help feeling extremely nervous because of his gaze.

She did not dare to meet his eyes and averted her gaze, looking down at the floor.

A moment later, Tremaine inched closer to her, close enough that his

warm breath fanned out over her face. "Yesseca, I don't think that you care about me as just a friend."

Yesseca's heart pounded wildly.

She felt like she had to correct Tremaine.

She could not allow him to misunderstand.

She only saw him as a friend.

That was all.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Mr. Tremaine!"

Yesseca heaved out a sigh of relief.

Noel was coming!

He had saved her from this moment.

On the other hand, Tremaine was extremely upset.

His face was as black as coal.

Noel did not dare to speak.

He was shocked.

He could not help feeling afraid at Tremaine's murderous expression.

He stammered, "Mr. Tremaine, Mr... Mr. Montez needs you."

Tremaine looked at him, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

Noel could not help taking a step back.

What had he done wrong?

He was only here to deliver a message from Madam Quartley.
