My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



Sheldon was fine. He was a strong man. He could stand the cold for much longer, but Preslie couldn't. She had also been tired out from setting up the store and from her fit of rage earlier by the Fernandez family.

This was the perfect condition for a virus to infect her!

Under both Sheldon and Yesseca's insistence, Preslie made her way to a hospital and got a check up. Sure enough she had gotten a mild fever and a cold.

Because she didn't want to delay the grand opening of their new store, Preslie opted for a treatment that would cure her in the shortest time possible, by having the medicine administered via infusion therapy.

The doctor provided two whole bottles of water for Preslie. He estimated that the treatment would take an entire hour to complete.

Yesseca had wanted to accompany Preslie, but when she noticed how much Sheldon wanted to as well, she decided to change her mind and allow him to be with her.

She told Preslie that she had some things to attend to.

After Yesseca left, Sheldon accompanied Preslie as she was getting treated. A young nurse who had come in to give Preslie an injection noticed how handsome Sheldon was. She had trouble locating Preslie's vein because she kept looking at him.

Sheldon's face hardened at this.

Speaking rather harshly, he said, "Hey! Watch where you're putting that needle! Do it properly!"

Sheldon was so fierce that he looked absolutely terrifying.

The nurse didn't dare to look at Sheldon again after hearing that. She immediately inserted the needles into Preslie's body, properly.

After the nurse left, Preslie looked at Sheldon, surprised, "Mr. Hawls. I thought you said that you'd never get angry, no matter what."

Just then, she noticed how angry he was when he spoke to the nurse.

Sheldon responded, there was a touch of worry in his voice, "She wasn't focusing on her duty. I had to make sure she didn't do anything that would hurt you."

Preslie felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Mr. Hawls had gotten angry because he was concerned about her!

Mr. Hawls was so nice to her!This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Preslie then asked, "Mr. Hawls, you said that you'd help me if anyone ever bullied me. When you saw me being pricked by needles, you were worried that I would be in pain and got angry. Why are you so nice to me?"

Sheldon was quiet.

He was stunned by her question.

After a moment, his face had turned red.

Why was he being so nice to Preslie...

It was because...

His mouth felt dry.

He didn't know why.

Or maybe he did, but he just couldn't say it.

Noticing that Sheldon's face had turned red, Preslie felt her heart beating fast.

Why did his face turn red when she asked him this question?

Could it be...

Preslie suddenly thought of something.

"Does Mr. Hawls like me?" She asked herself.

Preslie didn't dare to think that this was true.

But she couldn't help but think about it based on how he was today. He had been so nice to her and even blushed several times when they were together.

Her heart was beating madly at this point. Just when she felt like her heart was going to leap out of her chest, Sheldon said, "Because you are Xesseca's best friend. So of course I am nice to you."

Preslie stared at him in shock!

All that excitement she felt in heart immediately dissolved.

Preslie hung her head down and said, somewhat sourly, "I see. Mr. Hawls, you've told me that before when she was with Tremaine. But now she and Tremaine aren't together anymore. So, you're only being nice to me because of Yesseca!"

Sheldon's face hardened.
