My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1005

With the same goal, Lothar himself had put in his all to become an idol, even ignoring his own principles to carry out Reid's orders. He was doing all this because his sister would die if he didn't have enough money.

This was a reality for him.

How could he stay optimistic under this crushing burden? How could anyone, if they were in the same situation?

Lothar said, "Selina, in that situation, just living would take up all the energy you have. Would you be able to be optimistic if you were in their shoes?"

Selina was confused by Lothar's words.

She had never experienced this before. Therefore, she couldn't understand what Lothar was trying to say.

"Even so, my sister-in-law has always been very optimistic," Selina said softly.

Lothar did not answer.

Their optimism was usually fake. It was to deceive themselves rather than others.

That was the only way they could live without being devastated by the sheer cruelty of reality.

Lothar stood up and said incoherently, "So, we have to be optimistic. We have to stop dwelling over those unhappy memories."

Selina gave a wry smile.

She looked at her full, bloated stomach.

It was true that she had now stopped dwelling on those unhappy memories.

Matthew learned that Cecilia had regained her consciousness when he returned to the hospital.

"Matthew, my mother would like to talk to you," Tobias said to Matthew.

Matthew was stunned for a moment.

He came back to his senses instantly.

"Okay," he nodded slightly and said.

He walked into the ward.

Cecilia sat up when she saw Matthew coming into the ward.

"Madam Lawson, you don't have to sit up," Matthew said.

Cecilia shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's quite tiring for me to lie down all the time. I would prefer to sit up."

Matthew did not insist.

"Matthew, you and Selina..." Cecilia said. She seemed hesitant to finish the sentence.

Matthew took over. He said with a gentle tone as usual, "Madam Lawson, it's a pity that we can't be a family anymore. Still, this is the decision Selina and I made, and what's done is done. Please stop blaming Selina."

Cecilia seemed to be disappointed.

After a while, she said in a soft voice, "Matthew, I'm sorry for all the troubles caused by Selina."

"Madam Lawson, marriage is a two person thing. She couldn't be the only person who was at fault. I committed my own fair share of mistakes too."

Cecilia pursed her lips.

Even after all the troubles that she had met, it was incredible that Matthew was still covering for his ex-wife. It was as if he truly didn't blame Selina for anything at all. How could Cecilia say anything else to that?

"Matthew, you're a good man. I believe that you will find a better woman than Selina," Cecilia said after a moment of silence.

Cecilia knew that there was nothing she could do to reverse the situation. As it was, they had already gotten a divorce, and she was not thick-skinned enough to ask Matthew to remarry Selina.

Cecilia could only wish Matthew all the best.

Matthew did not say anything in reply. His facial features were almost wooden, his eyes closed off voids.

He had fallen deeply for Selina. How could it be possible for him to fall for another woman?

Selina felt much more comfortable now that some time had passed.

She took a glance at her mobile phone.

There had not been any missed calls or text messages.

Uneasiness started to build within her.

Had there been any change in her mother's condition?

She couldn't help but make a phone call to Natalie.

Natalie said that Cecilia had woken up and was talking to Matthew in the ward.

Selina, who was initially happy that her mother was in good condition, became sad.

Cecilia was chatting with Matthew...

Cecilia had thought only of Matthew instead of Selina after waking up.
