My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1482

Why was Matthew in front of Selina now?

Did he know that his action was going to make her more reluctant to part with him? And put her in more pain?

"What are you doing here?" She stared at him as she asked.

There was an indescribable feeling in her tone.

"Silly, I'm here to be with you. And I am here to stay." His pleasant voice sounded so gentle.

Right then, she felt a layer of mist over her eyes. "Matthew, how can you break your words? You clearly told me you would stay away from me and start a new life! And even a new family! What the hell are you thinking by doing this?!"

After she finished her words, she pushed her with all her might. "Leave. I don't need you with me!"

However, it didn't work against him. Instead, she was pulled by him. She fell forward and ended up in his arms.

His embrace was warm, so warm that one would be reluctant to leave his arms.

She was aware of it, but she could not indulge herself in such pleasure.

After all, her greediness would only cause him pain.

With that, she wanted to break free from him, but he tightened his arms around her.

"Let go of me!" she cried.

He replied, "I won't!"

"Matthew Perry, you b*stard!"

"I admit I am! What about it!"

Selina was so mad that she bit Matthew's shoulder. Then, she said, "Matthew, you've gone back on your words. How can you call yourself a gentleman when you can't even keep your words?!"

He retorted, "Who told you that I'd gone back on my words?"

She felt her blood pressure rising from her anger after listening to his words.

Wasn't he just speaking nonsense?

At that moment, she was glaring at him as she said, "You promised you'll leave, and we'll never see each other again. Yet you came back and said you wanted to stay by my side. How does this not count? You told me you would start a new life!"

"Silly girl." Matthew sighed lightly. "Remember what I told you? That I'll move on if you leave before me?"

"I will surely die before you..." Before she continued, she opened her eyes wide as she looked at him.

A strike of lightning flashed across her mind.

Her breathing was quickening as she looked at him in disbelief. "Matthew, what do you mean by that?"

Unlike her, who was in shock and panic, he was calm. He even wore a light smile on his face.

Just then, he swept her hair behind her ears and said, "Selina, I'll be with you till the end. If you live, I'll live; if you die, I'll die."

Right then, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

After a long while, she asked, "Matthew, what did you do? Tell me, what the hell did you do?" Her lips were growing paler with every word she uttered.

"Silly girl." Gazing into her eyes, he explained, "I didn't do anything. Since you're aging at a faster speed, I'm willing to go through the same with you. To fulfill my promise to love you and stay with you until we're both old and gray."

Pausing, he flashed her another smile. "Wasn't this our wish? To be together until we're old and gray. It's just that it might come a little sooner than we expected, but the results will be the same. So you don't have to be sad anymore."

She felt buzzing in her ears.

Word by word, she asked, "Matthew, did you get inflicted by the same poison too?"

"No." He explained, "I inserted a medicine that could speed up the body's rate of aging."

"Matthew Perry, how can you put something like this into your body? Have you gone crazy?!" she shouted.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

He sighed softly.

Wiping away her tears, he asked, "Isn't this for the best? I can be with you now. All your worries about me not being able to accept your looks will be gone. I'll grow old with you, Selina."

"But why? Why would you do something so stupid, Matthew? You're young, and you have a bright future waiting for you. How could you be so stupid?" she cried.

When she got to this, she raised her voice. "Matthew, can you remove it from your body? Let's remove it now. I won't allow you to do such a stupid thing."

"We can't take it out. Once it's in, there's nothing to cure it." His voice was clear and calm. It was as if he was talking about something normal.
