My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 878

Dylan's eyes were still shut tight, and his face was twisted in pain.

For all the agony he showed, Selina felt it even worse inside her.

Missha wasn't exaggerating. Even unconscious, he was calling out for her.

She couldn't help herself from walking closer.

"Dylan, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere, please get some rest." she said softly.

Just as she finished speaking, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

Selina jumped in shock.

Dylan quickly sat up and pulled her into his arms. "Selina, don't leave me. I won't let you go!"

His strong, manly scent enveloped her just as tightly as his grip.

It was a comfortingly familiar feeling.

She found herself slipping into a daze.

She wanted to break away from Dylan's gripping embrace, but couldn't find the strength to do so.

"Selina, this was all my fault, it was all on me. You can't leave me, you just can't." Dylan's voice shuddered with all kinds of mixed emotions.

Selina bit down hard on her lip.

The sharp pain from the corner of her mouth gave her the moment of clarity she needed.

"Dylan, stop saying that. We've already broken up." "Selina, we've broken up many times before, but we've always made up in the end. This is just the same. We've been together for so many years, we've become one, there's no way we can be apart. You can't leave me and I can't leave you!" His voice was hoarse and aching.

She bit her lip even harder. "It's different this time. It's not like our previous break ups. I found a new boyfriend and I'm starting over. I really hope you can do the same. Let's stop all of this and move on from all the pain, okay?"

Selina was begging him.

It was different this time.

This time, Dylan had very thoroughly broken her heart. This time, she had Matthew.

Matthew was so amazing.

So amazing, that she couldn't believe that someone as insensitive as her could even stand it.

"Selina!" exclaimed Dylan in even more distraught. "Don't mention that other man. I may not know who he is, but I know for a fact that you don't love him. Am I right?!"

His grasp relaxed as he looked earnestly into her eyes. He held his breath, his body rigid, as he waited for her answer.

Her eyelashes began to tremble furiously.

She couldn't answer.

She had a very fond impression of Matthew. He was so mature, so reserved and he was such a gentleman. Anyone would think he was perfect.

But deep down, she knew, she did not have any love for him.

After all how could she? She and Dylan have been inseparable for so many years, ever since they were students. There wasn't enough time for her to fall in love again with someone new, not with how little time had passed since their breakup.

Now that she was with Matthew, she hoped that with enough time and effort, she would find a way to be in love with him.

The look of guilt on her face only confirmed Dylan's thoughts.

"Selina, you're only trying to provoke me, aren't you? That's why you found another man, to upset me. I refuse to believe that you'd throw away all those years we've spent together only to fall in love with someone else in just a few days!" He paused and a look of harsh bitterness glimmered across his eyes. "Let's both be done with this whole mess. Let's stop messing around, okay?"

Selina held her breath.

She stared at Dylan. "Did you really think I was just screwing around?"

The pain she felt was written in her eyes.

After a brief moment, she continued. "That's it. You're looking better now, so I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

As she turned and walked away, Dylan got up and chased after her but was held back by something tugging on him.

The IV needle was still attached to his arm.

He violently pulled out the needle, causing a stream of blood to escape from his freshly wounded arm.

Selina stopped.
