My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Ruth had never told anyone.

She didn't dare to and she knew that it was useless even if she said it.

But at this moment, she had told her everything.

Those words had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

Unfortunately, it was useless to say it out loud.

That was because Madam Quartley didn't believe it at all.

She looked at Ruth in extreme shock. "Ruth, are you crazy? What are you talking about?"

Ruth raised her voice and replied, "It's true! I swear with my life that I didn't lie to you! I didn't lie to you at all!"

"B*stard!" Madam Quartley slammed the table again. "If you still want to slander Yuliana like this, I won't show you any mercy!"

Despair flashed across Ruth's eyes.

It was useless after all.

Even if she said it, it was useless.

Just as she had thought earlier.

However...

Her trembling hands touched her lower abdomen. She had no other wishes at the moment. She just wanted to protect her child!

That was all!

She just wanted to protect her own child!

He was her flesh and blood!

How could she let others bully him!

Although she was petty and low, she couldn't let her child be humiliated and tortured like her.

Ruth's eyes turned red, and she looked at Madam Quartley in a decisive manner. "Madam Quartley, I know that I am a servant. I have no background, no status, and no ability. Hence, I must give the child in my belly to you. I don't even have the right to keep my child. However, I am still a mother. I don't want to watch my child live in pain in the future!"

"So if you still want to give the child to Madam Yuliana, then I will kill myself in front of you today. It's better to die with the child now than to let him suffer after being born!"

After that, Ruth was about to run into the wall in front of her.

When Madam Quartley saw that, she was scared out of her wits. She immediately ordered the two servants to hold onto Ruth tightly.

Her body was being pulled. Her heart was filled with endless darkness and despair.

She suddenly remembered what the teacher said when she was a child.

Nashaland had begun to promote equality among the people in the past ten years.

Before that, the people in Nashaland were divided into different classes.

Just like Ruth, all her generation had been the lowest class in the society.

Ruth was destined to be a servant since she was born.

The education she received was not the public education that an ordinary child could receive. Instead, she was taught how to be a servant and how to obey her master.

When she was young, the teacher often said to Ruth, "You must listen to your master. If your master wants you to live, you have to live. If your master wants to die, you have to die! Your life belongs to your master!"

After the reform of Nashaland, the servants were not as low-ranking as before.

But for people like Ruth, who had been educated how to be a servant since young, some ideas had been deeply rooted in her bones and could not be changed at all. Tears fell like rain.

It turned out that some things had been destined since young.

"You must listen to your master. If your master wants you to live, you have to live. If your master wants to die, you have to die! Your life belongs to your master!!" Even if her life was as cheap as dirt, it was still the master's.

Even if she wanted to die, she couldn't die!

Although Ruth did not succeed in seeking death, her determination frightened Madam Quartley.

Finally, Zorion would have a descendant after Madam Quartley had expected it for so long. How could she allow any mistake to happen?

Her words were no longer harsh and

angry. There was only compromise left. "Ruth, I'll listen to you. If you don't want this child to be brought up by Yuliana, I promise to take him with me. Didn't I promise you last time? I will definitely do it."

"No! You won't be able to do it, Madam Quartley." Ruth's eyes were dim. "You will give this child to her. You will definitely give it to her."

Ruth still did not believe her after she had talked for a long time. Hence, Madam Quartley was a little annoyed, but she had to suppress her anger.

She replied, "How about this? You

take good care of your body first and

I promise to give you an explanation that will make you feel at ease. I will come back in two days. You should rest well these two days."

Before leaving, Madam Quartley specially instructed the servants to take good care of Ruth.

"Watch her closely. Don't let her do anything stupid!"

The servant looked worried. "We will definitely keep an eye on her, but Miss Welmert is in such a bad mood now. I am afraid that it will affect the fetus in her belly." They could keep an eye on Ruth, but they couldn't control her mood.

Madam Quartley was also worried about that.

She said that she would not give the

child to Yuliana in the future, but Ruth did not believe her at all. Therefore, she said that she would give her an explanation in two days in order to make her completely rest assured.

Otherwise, if she continued to be in such a bad mood, it would affect the fetus in her belly.

"You tell her these two days that I will definitely give her an explanation in two days. That way, she will feel at ease these two days," Madam Quartley uttered again.

She had to go back and think about how to make Ruth completely rest assured.

Madam Quartley returned to Quartley Palace full of thoughts.

She happened to see Zorion.

He was playing with the paper plane alone.

Looking at the naive expression on Zorion's face, Madam Quartley suddenly had an idea.

Somehow, she thought of what Ruth had said before.

Madam Quartley called Zorion.

Zorion ran to Madam Quartley with his paper plane. "Grandma"

Madam Quartley exclaimed, "Zorion, I want to ask you a few questions. You have to tell me."

Zorion nodded hard, like a loyal dog.

Madam Quartley asked, "Is Yuliana nice to you?"

Zorion hesitated for a moment, but then he nodded hard. "Good, my wife treats me the best, and I treat my wife the best."

"Will Yuliana beat you or scold you?"

Zorion parted his lips and shook his head desperately.

He couldn't tell Madam Quartley. She would be unhappy if he told her.

If she was unhappy, she would scold his wife.

He couldn't let his wife be scolded.

Hearing that, Madam Quartley breathed a sigh of relief.

She suddenly found it a little funny.

What was wrong with her? How could she believe the nonsense told by Ruth, the servant?

Zorion and Yuliana were so loving. How could Yuliana insult Zorion?

Besides, if Yuliana really did that, Zorion was not a fool. How could he not...

Madam Quartley was a little embarassed.

Zorion was a fool.

However, even a fool would have an emotional perception. If Yuliana really beat him, scolded him and treated him badly, Zorion would not have such deep feelings for Yuliana. Zorion liked Yuliana so much because she was

nice!

For the whole day, Madam Quartley was feeling very frustrated.

Madam Quartley could not figure out a way to make Ruth feel at ease.
