My Heart only Beats for You

Did Matthew arrange all this? Why had he done this? Why did he try to get her to go away? She sensed that it was definitely not with good intentions! Did it have anything to do with Saoirse? Countless thoughts rushed across Selina's mind.

Her breathing becdisorientated.

What had happened during the twhen she got away? Did Matthew and Saoirse do anything in that period of time? "Drive faster please. Driveto the hospital right away!" Selina started urging the driver.

"Yes, Miss Selina," the driver replied.

But at this moment, it was already the peak hour as it was after school hours. The road was jammed. Even if the driver wanted to drive quickly, it was still useless. The car continued to drive towards the hospital at a turtle-like speed, and it made Selina so anxious that she started sweating.

They finally arrived at the hospital.

Selina opened the door and ran out of the car.

She had almost ran all the way to the ward Matthew was in.

The door of the ward was tightly shut.

Selina hesitated for a moment at the door.

Finally, she pushed the door open.

It was dark inside the ward and she could see nothing at all.

Selina was totally dumbfounded.

It was broad daylight. Even if they didn't turn on the lights in the ward, it was still impossible that the ward would be in total darkness that she could not see a thing.

Selina was about to reach towards the switch to turn on the lights.

Just then, a sound cfrom behind her.

When she turned around, she found that the door behind her had closed by itself.

Selina was about to grip the door handle, yet she heard a sound from inside of the ward.

It was a very light and lovely sound.

Selina turned around once again.

Before her eyes, there were bits of light slowly lighting up, and she opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

She looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.

A holographic picture had suddenly appeared in the darkness.

It was a holographic image of a little girl.

The little girl looked a little familiar to her.

It took Selina a whole minute to think about it, and then she finally recalled who this little girl was! It was herself.

She was only three years old back then.

The holographic image kept on changing.

The little girl was also slowly growing up. She becfour years old, five years old, then six years old... Selina's eyes slowly started to tear up.

She had already forgotten how she looked when she was a child. Little did she expect that all of those would appear before her at that very moment. Finally, the holographic image turned to her current look.

It was herself, who was currently standing there in the hospital.

Selina was short of breath.

She couldn't figure out whether it was a holographic image or whether it was a mirror.

At this moment, sblinking lights slowly emerged in the darkness beside her holographic image.

Those bits of light gradually gathered to beca person.

It was Matthew.

"Matthew" reached his arms out towards "Selina".

In the holographic picture, "Selina" was slowly walking towards "Matthew", and both of them held each other tightly.

Selina felt tears welling up in her eyes She couldn't help but walk towards "Matthew". But just at that moment, the holographic "Selina" had suddenly disappeared.

Selina reached out her hands.

She wanted to hug the holographic "Matthew".

She knew that whatever she was touching was nothing but air.

The holographic images appeared before her eyes were nothing else but computer generated images.

But soon, a hint of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

The senses on her fingertips clearly told her that she wasn't just touching air.

As she was in great astonishment, the holographic "Matthew" hugged Selina into his warm embrace.

The warm embrace and familiar breath reminded her that the man in front of her was not a holographic image. It was Matthew himself.

"Matthew?" Selina called out.

As soon as she finished her words, the holographic image of "Matthew" disappeared, yet the feeling of his warmth was still there.

The ward returned back to total darkness, yet the one hugging her was still there.

"Selina, happy birthday." These words that cout from among the darkness surrounded the air.

Selina's breathing stopped.

He had wished her a happy birthday. It was her own birthday, but she didn't even remember it herself. After a slight sound, the ward soon becbright once again.

Selina saw Matthew again.

The man was hugging her.

Selina hurriedly pushed him away. "Why did you get up? You should still be laying in bed." "I'm fine." Matthew looked at Selina with a faint smile. "I have consulted a doctor about it. It shouldn't be a problem forto stand up for a bit." "No, no, you have to lay in bed." Selina helped Matthew towards the bed.

There was a food cart before the bed with a big cake on it.

There were two tiny figurines on the cake. They were none other than Matthew and Selina.

Hand in hand, they were smiling as they faced forward.

"Little girl, happy birthday." The man's low voice rang by her ear.

A peculiar emotion welled up in her heart.

At that moment, Selina felt like she wanted to cry.

She had been in a hurry to rush back earlier. She thought that Matthew onber had cheated on her/She'd even thought that something had happened between Matthew and Saoirse, yet she was so wrong.

"How did you remember that today is my birthday? I didn't even remember it," Selina said.

Matthew stared at her. "You silly girl, how can I forget your birthday? Not only do I remember your birthday, but I also know that you were born at noon." Selina didn't know what to say.

A bunch of things quickly started to link up in her head.

Matthew asking her to leave to get him scoffee. The owner of the cafe opening late. Just when she was returning back there was a huge traffic jam. Could it be theeverything was precisely prepared by Matthew, just for her to return right at noon? She widened her eyes. "Did you really arrange everything so accurately? Did you arrange it to be precisely at 12 o'clock?" Matthew did not reply, but the faint smile on the corners of his lips explained everything.

Selina covered her mouth.

"Matthew, there is no need for you to be so precise. You will have spent too much effort in this way." "It's your birthday. Of course, I have to put in a lot of effort." Matthew said gently, "Come, cut the cake." Selina suppressed the shock deep down.

When she was about to cut the cake, she suddenly stopped again.

She suddenly thought of something.

In the holographic images earlier on, there were pictures of herself every single year since she was three. How did Matthew obtain all those pictures? She couldn't help but ask Matthew about it.

He just smiled. "I asked Tobias for your photos." Selina finally understood.

"You've put in such great effort," Selina said in a gentle voice.

She began to cut the cake. When she cut to the bottom, she suddenly felt a bit of resistance. She looked over only to realize that there was a huge diamond ring hidden in there.

The diamond ring was dazzling and bright, and even the cake was glistening from the reflection.

Selina looked up at Matthew.

Matthew's lips were turned up. "Have a look at it."
