She pulled Yesseca's hand and said again, "Yesseca, you still have to hold me. I drank too much. If you don't hold me, I will fall!"
Yesseca did not reply.
The pain in her heart did not stop.
The pain she felt was unprecedented.
At first, the pain she felt was just a mental one.
However, it was real now.
It hurt so much that dense beads of sweat began to form on Yesseca's forehead.
When Preslie saw her doubled over, she cried in a panic, "Yesseca, aren't we going home? What happened?"
Yesseca heaved in a deep breath.
The pain she felt seemed to ease a little.
Yesseca used all of her strength to speak, "Come on, let's go home."
Yesseca did not sleep much that night.
The pain in her heart would wake her up suddenly in the middle of the night.
It only subsided when dawn came. Yesseca was too tired, so she fell asleep. Who knew that Preslie woke her up only after she had two hours of sleep.
They needed to depart to the United States.
Yesseca resisted the pain as she went to the airport with Preslie.
The plane flew for the whole night before they landed in the United States.
When they arrived, they did not have time to rest at all. They needed to attend the award ceremony at once.
Throughout the journey, Yesseca did not feel any better at all. Her heart would ache from time to time.
However, Yesseca still managed to hold the pain in.
She knew that she could not miss out on this award ceremony.
Selina kept pointing at the huge glass screen and said in a trembling voice, "Matthew, did you see that? That's Yesseca! That's Yesseca! That girl in that dress going up the stage to receive the reward, it's Yesseca!"
Matthew smiled and said, "I see it. It really is Yesseca."
"I really didn't expect Yesseca to be able to win such a huge award. I thought that she was just opening the shop for fun. I really did not expect this to happen to her," Selina was so excited that her face turned red, "Matthew, you don't know how valuable this reward it. No money can buy it, it is really amazing!"
"I know," Matthew said, "This is the most important award in the world of baking. Since Yesseca can win it, it means that she is really talented."
Selina did not answer but stood up immediately.
She turned around and ran to the door at once.
Matthew stood up with a smile.
The servant was dumbfounded.
She said, "Sir, this... has Miss Whitlock gone crazy? When she saw Miss Cowell winning the award, she got so excited that she ran outside, what is she doing? Do we need to ask her to come back? What if something happened to her?"
However, Matthew said, "Let her be."
