My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 1216

The moment he heard Saoirse utter the name "William", all his memories came back.

Memories of the past emerged and fitted like a puzzle in Matthew's mind.

The tension in the air was palpable.

Matthew suddenly stood up as he recognized her.

He greeted her in disbelief, "Saoirse."

"Yes, it's me." Saoirse replied with an excited smile.

Matthew had a splitting headache.

He finally remembered everything.

Eight years ago, Matthew had gone to Germany to resolve his father's matters. After that had been completed, he'd hired a helicopter to fly home but he had been ambushed.

At the crucial moment, he'd jumped out of the helicopter with a parachute.

However, one of the bullets had gone through his chest. The next thing he knew, he saw Saoirse tending to his wounds.

His brain was muddled because he'd suffered a concussion when he fell.

Nevertheless, he was able to recall that Saoirse and him were married in Germany.

In Saoirse's family, there was a rule that unmarried women could not be seen by any man outside the family. They would have to get married, otherwise the man had to be killed.

When Saoirse's father was about to kill him, Saoirse decided to save Matthew by marrying him.

At that time, he had been in no shape to resist.

During their six months of marriage, Matthew had been bedridden while Saoirse fulfilled her duties as a wife by caring for his needs. When Matthew eventually recovered, he longed to go home to his father.

Saoirse had to stay behind due to her heart disease.

So Matthew flew back alone to Glevania.

The plane he was on had encountered extreme turbulence during the journey, and passengers had had to evacuate by jumping from the plane with a parachute.

As Matthew jumped, his previous trauma had resurfaced.

The pain was so great that his body instinctively blocked out the painful memories.

Matthew had dissociative amnesia. He had entirely forgotten about his marriage with Saoirse, about the six long months he spent in Germany.

lt was until this very moment, the sight of Saoirse brought everything back.

Matthew was overwhelmed with emotion. "I'm so sorry, Saoirse."

He did not bear any romantic feelings for Saoirse.

In fact, they had not had any intimate relations during their marriage.

Even so, when he was left dying in the forest, it was Saoirse who took him in.

When he was seriously injured and helpless, it

was Saoirse who had saved him from execution.

During the six months he was bedridden, it was Saoirse who'd cared for him.

However, he had forgotten all that she had done for him. He had left her alone in Germany, while he picked up his life in Glevania.

His guilt weighed down on him as he realized he owed Saoirse his life.

Saoirse's eyes were filled with tears.

She had finally met William again.

Hearing his apology made her feel that everything she did was worth it.

"Because of my weak heart, I didn't look for you after you disappeared. But now, I am healthy. The heart transplant surgery went well, so I came looking for you."

Liselle chimed in, "Sir William, Miss Saoirse had been pining for you many years since you

Ieft. She dared not look for you because she was afraid that her heart condition would be a hindrance to you."

"William, please return to Germany with me." Saoirse asked, her eyes bright with anticipation.

She paused and added. "But if you really don't want to go back, I'll convince my father to let me stay here in Glevania with you."

Her words were like a bombshell to Matthew.

He was thinking of ways to make it up to Saoirse, but her words snapped him out of it.

Saoirse did not want an apology.

She just wanted Matthew to be by her side.

Matthew's thoughts were swirling in confusion.

Matthew had no romantic feelings for Saoirse.

That marriage in Germany was held without his consent. He didn't have a choice at the time.
