My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 1723

Selina figured it was best if they could find somewhere quiet to talk.

They went into a restaurant and requested a VIP room.

A VIP room was a private room and it was separated from the rest of the guests in the restaurant. Hence, they could talk freely without any disturbance.

Selina ordered some snacks.

She began to eat it as soon as it was served.

Although they were in the private room, Yesseca hadn't spoken a word. Besides, she had had a solemn expression all the while.

Selina then handed a snack to her and said, "Try some of this. It's pretty good."

Selina did not want the atmosphere to be tense nor heavy.

She hoped that the conversation with Yesseca would be in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

But Yesseca was not in the mood to eat.

She shook her head and said, "I don't feel like eating."

Selina then shoved the shrimp into her mouth instead. "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yesseca struggled a little.

After a while, she looked into Selina's eyes seriously as she said, "I want to talk to you about someone called Essie Clark."

Selina's eyes widened.

At first, Yesseca thought it was because Selina was surprised.

But soon she realized that it wasn't a surprise in her expression.

It seemed that Selina wasn't surprised, but more of...

Yesseca couldn't describe the look on Selina's face.

She asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Selina?"

Selina replied in a hushed voice, "I don't exactly know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable."

Selina tried to lift her hand but to her surprise, she couldn't raise her arm whatsoever.

Selina felt as if all of her energy was being sapped away from her.

Her eyes widened even more, "Yesseca, I —what's wrong with me? I feel lethargic and tired as if my energy is draining out of me."

Yesseca panicked.

She got closer to Selina, "What's wrong?"

Selina took a deep breath and said softly, "I think something's wrong with my body. Please call for help."

Yesseca immediately wanted to rush out of the room to call for help.

Just then, the room's door opened.

A woman then walked in.

She then closed the door of their room.

Like Selina, Yesseca's eyes widened in astonishment.

That was because it was Essie that had walked in.

"You, you..." Yesseca cried out involuntarily.

Essie looked at Yesseca coldly. "You didn't expect me to be here right? You traitor, you promised that you would drug Selina but you didn't. Thank God I have been following you both and had the opportunity to drug Selina instead. You incompetent imbecile!"

Yesseca's head buzzed.

"Essie, what on earth do you want?!"

"What do I want?" Essie suddenly pulled out a knife. The sharp blade of the knife glimmered under the lights. "I want to take out her heart today. Her heart that belongs to Lothar."

Yesseca stood in front of Selina without thinking, trying to protect her from Essie. "I won't let you hurt her!"

Just then, Selina spoke. "Why did you drug me? Why... the knife?" She looked at Essie confusedly, with questions written all over her face.

Essie stared at her coldly. "Because I want to take your heart out. Your heart belongs to Lothar, and I'll return it to him."

Selina was just bewildered to hear that from Essie. "Why... why would you think of that? Lothar is already dead. What's wrong with you?"

Essie's eyes darkened. "Dead? That's because you took his life away!"
