My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 1147

Selina was in fact experiencing a nightmare.

She had dreamt that Natalie had lost her child.

The child was born in a pool of Natalie's blood, but it wasn't breathing.

Selina let out a piercing scream, "Ah!"

Her eyes shot wide open, her pupils dilated, as if she had just seen a ghost.

Matthew rushed forward to hold her hands and console her, "Selina, I'm right here."

His palms were warm.

Her gaze gradually moved to his face.

Selina hurriedly cried out, as if she had just suffered a great shock, "Where's Natalie? Where's her child?"

"It's all fine. Natalie is alright. She just gave birth to a baby boy." Matthew had never left her side ever since she fainted. It was Cecilia who'd instructed the nurse to tell him this news.

He added, "He's a very healthy boy."

Selina felt something in her mind slowly loosen upon hearing this information.

She patted her chest and echoed his words, "A boy. It's a boy. A healthy boy."

She spontaneously let out a laugh, "Thank god! Natalie is doing alright, and so is the child!"

She laughed so much that tears almost fell from her eyes.

If other people were to see her like this, they may have found her hysterical. Yet only Matthew knew that Selina's intense response was because she had been under far too much stress.

His heart felt as if it was being tightly squeezed.

This was all because of him!

If he hadn't given her the cold shoulder after the day's event, and instead genuinely communicated with her about it, maybe things would not have ended up like this.

He was being so cruel to her because he didn't trust her!

Matthew couldn't even begin to imagine what would have happened if he hadn't gone looking for Selina at the end.

He wasn't sure if Natalie would be able to keep her child, and he couldn't bear the thought of what would have happened to Selina.

Those invisible hands tightened their grip around his heart.

When he saw Selina in that state, on the edge of a mental breakdown, he felt as if he himself was about to break down too.

If he came slightly later, he really didn't know whether she would succumb to insanity, or if anything unforeseeable would happen next.

He was overwhelmed by boundless guilt.

With that, he leaned down towards her, putting his lips to her face.

He then gently kissed away the tears on her face.

Selina's breath caught in her throat when he did this.

His lips were warm, moist and tender, seeming to calm her with every touch.

Slowly but surely, the tears stopped trailing down from her eyes.

And with that, Matthew ceased his kissing.

He raised his eyes, staring right at her as he said, "Selina, I'm so sorry."

Entranced by the dark pools of his eyes, Selina slowly came to her senses.

Her thoughts moved away from Natalie and now started to focus on what had happened between her and Matthew.

Her breathing quickened at the realization of this.

"I..." She was in such a panicky state that she couldn't properly articulate her words.

Matthew patted her gently on her chest, "Don't fret too much."

He had intended to soothe her, but he hadn't anticipated the sudden softness he would feel underneath his palm.

Right where he was patting her chest.

Selina didn't comment on this.

Blood quickly rushed up to her cheeks, making her blush intensely.

Meanwhile, Matthew hastily retracted his hand. Now was not the time to be touchy with each other.

After some silence between them, Selina spoke up, "Please get me some warm water."
