My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1799

Kylin's breath stopped.

He had questioned why Marleigh had told him to do so, but he believed her regardless. He had never been an overthinker. Plus, this was his mother who said this, so there was less reason for him to question things.

"Kylin, I'll tell you the real reason." There was a hint of sadness in her eyes when she said, "Because your father had stomach cancer, and he wasn't going to be able to live long anyway."

He was shocked.

He looked at her in disbelief. "How could that be!"

He knew that his father's stomach had always been weak and that he had gastric problems. However, he never thought it would be stomach cancer.

Marleigh lowered her voice. "We found out about it not long before you introduced Yesseca to us. We wanted to tell you, but you told us you were getting married. We didn't want to put a damper on your good news, so we decided to keep it from you."

After a pause, she continued, "At that time, your father didn't have much time left. It would be bad for you to register your marriage with Yesseca, but he wanted to be a part of one of the most significant moments of your life. So we decided to ask you to hold the wedding first, and we would tell you about his cancer afterward. And maybe half a year after his passing, you two could register your marriage."

Kylin's head was buzzing.

It turned out that was such a reason behind why he and Yesseca should hold a wedding before the marriage registration.

He knew that it was not good luck to have a funeral and wedding around the same time. However, Efren wanted so badly to see him get married. Therefore, they had come out with this idea.

Just then, Marleigh said something that shocked Kyi in even more.

That was that his father would not have died during that wedding.

But he had wanted to save a child.

At that time, he had already escaped.

But to save a child, he had rushed in again.

At that time, she'd grabbed hold of him, not wanting him to enter again.

In the end, he said, "My life is coming to an end. I might die next month, but that child's life has just begun. This is a worthy exchange!"

Finally, she let go of him.

With that, Efren rushed in.

And he saved the child.

When he ran out with the child in his arms, something came crashing down. He shoved the child out of the way, and it landed on him.

He had used his life to save a child that was a complete stranger to him.

Because he was crushed, his appearance became unrecognizable, and his lips were disabled. Marleigh was so shocked to see Efren in that state, so she lost herself.

Fortunately, she had recovered.

Right then, her eyes were full of tears. "Kylin, although your father died, he saved a child before his death. I think he left feeling satisfied. You know how he was a man of a few words, but he loved helping people. He..."

She couldn't continued as she choked with sobs.

She wiped her eyes and said, "I should have told you about this earlier, but I couldn't bear it when I saw your father's body. I've been muddleheaded this whole time because I felt that he was still beside me and had yet to leave. But I am fine now.

Go back to them. It was a little abrupt of me to pull you away. They don't know about this, so hurry and return."

Yesseca never thought that Selina would come to understand her.

She had always thought Selina was blaming her.

After all, Selina had hoped that she could be with Kyi in, but she had had intimate relations with Tremaine. She couldn't be with Kylin anymore, and Selina must have been blaming her for this.

But Selina's words made her know that she was wrong.

Yesseca couldn't help but choke and say, "I really did want to do what you expected me to do and be together with Kylin until we're old and gray. He is a good man, and I know it. It was a mistake for me to do this with Tremaine, but I didn't know how it happened. Only when I felt the pain did I realize. I'm sorry. I'm no longer a virgin, and I don't know how to be with Kylin anymore."
