"Nat." Watching Natalie resist him, Cedric's heart ached. Their past was something better left forgotten, something unspeakable. Every time it was brought up, it felt like reopening a healed scar, causing the pain to flare up again. It was something they couldn't face, but they had to anyway."Let's talk about everything once your eyes are better," Cedric said. He wanted to say more but ultimately swallowed his words. His tone contained more than bitterness.Natalie ignored him. He hadn't expressed any intention of taking her to the doctor. It seemed that the doctor truly had a peculiar personality, as he had said. So, was his trip today a wasted effort?During lunch, Natalie reached out across the table. As she did, Cedric grabbed her wrist."I'll help you."However, it was too late. Natalie knocked over the cup in front of her, and water splashed everywhere. Lydia and Xyla hurriedly cleaned up. Cedric held Natalie, preventing her from getting wet. At that moment,
It was just this much, yet Cedric couldn't bear it anymore?Then, what about Natalie? How much did she endure and suffer by his side before? Did Cedric still remember? He seemed to have forgotten everything.Natalie took a deep breath and said, "Let go!""When you recover, you can do whatever you want," Cedric said in a restrained tone.That was right!They could talk about everything once she recovered. Her emotions shouldn't fluctuate too much now. Cedric was genuinely worried about her current state.However, Natalie seemed to pay no attention to any of this.Cedric felt helpless because he realized he didn't know what to do with Natalie right now.Natalie said, "I said, let go!"Her tone remained cold.Cedric looked at her adamant appearance. Even with hollow eyes, she couldn't hide how stubborn she was.This was the real Natalie...! At this moment, Cedric also remembered that in their last life...Their relationship had only truly shattered after she lost her sig
Cedric figured it out.She... was deliberately provoking him! Knowing he had a bad temper, she wanted to provoke him so that he would leave.She... didn't want to see him! She couldn't stand even feeling his presence!"No matter what you say, I won't leave," Cedric declared.Natalie fell silent.He figured it out?!"After all, it's been so many years," Cedric said. Regardless of the nature of their relationship, they had a certain level of understanding between them, right? They had been together for a decade!Regardless of how they started, Cedric thoroughly understood what he should know about her.Natalie remained silent.Lunch passed in such a tense atmosphere. Although Natalie used to love Yuloria dishes, they tasted bland with Cedric around. She had said too much, hadn't she?That was why Natalie didn't talk to Cedric after that. She didn't answer any of his questions. She completely ignored him!Cedric bought her the best-known snacks from Yuloria, sayin
And now, Cedric was spending so much time by her side?In Natalie's mind, that was simply impossible...! However, in the end, Cedric confirmed his words with actions. A few days passed... then even a week! Even... after half a month, Cedric showed no intention of leaving.He remained by her side!He acted in such a carefree manner as the days passed, and Natalie couldn't contact anyone in Simeria, so she didn't know the situation in Wexford either. Cedric went out every day, but the rumored doctor seemed very stubborn and never gave in!So, Natalie still didn't receive treatment during the half month she spent in Yuloria. However, there was a doctor there to stabilize her condition. It seemed that Cedric was willing to pay any price to get that rumored doctor.-Meanwhile, Irwin was in Wexford and was aware that Cedric had taken Natalie away. He found out after a week, and he even knew that Natalie might be permanently blind.From the information Irwin had obtained fro
When someone was crucial in another person's heart, they would undoubtedly feel uneasy when they got news of them, regardless of whether it was true or false.Undoubtedly, Cedric allowed the people on Irwin's side to see the importance of Kayla in his heart. If he really received such news, how would he react? Regardless of what was said here, there would be doubts in Cedric's mind.Irwin understood Cedric too well. He knew Cedric's biggest weakness, which was why he wanted to spread such a rumor."Understood!" Dylan nodded.Irwin's tone was deep. "Nat can't stay by his side."Since they couldn't find Cedric, they needed to make him appear voluntarily. Irwin knew what kind of person Cedric was over the years and how he felt about Wexford. So, no matter what, he couldn't...Irwin already regretted that Natalie was dragged into Wexford's mess, so he didn't want her involved further."Yes, sir." Dylan nodded, showing that he understood Irwin's intentions. Although he hadn
At this moment, the aura emanating from Bianca sharply contrasted with Malcolm's fierceness.She remained calm and indifferent. Even Malcolm, who had witnessed numerous instances of coldness over the years, found Bianca's demeanor chilling.However, it evoked a disturbing sensation in him. "You're truly indifferent," Malcolm said, his words dripping with danger.Bianca replied, "I apologize. I can't empathize with the pain of those unrelated to me."It was always difficult to feel when things don't happen to oneself.This wasn't about being cold or not, especially considering that Bianca had no significant connection with Faye, Jade, or even Malcolm. Even if they had some connections, their interactions were far from pleasant! So, when their lives met tragic ends, she remained indifferent.Moreover, so much had happened between her and Malcolm!Did he expect her to feel regret and sadness for Faye and Jade's fate after suffering so much?Suddenly, Malcolm reached out to
The atmosphere had initially calmed and became relaxed, but Bianca stirred it up with her words immediately!The smile on her lips seemed mocking but also exuded a venomous vibe. She gazed at Malcolm's furious eyes, the crimson within them revealing the intensity of his anger. However, she remained indifferent. She took a deep breath and said, "Since it was a severe illness, her death must have been miserable."It was more than miserable...!When Jade had been on the brink of death, she pleaded with Malcolm not to let her die. She had schemed and calculated everything just to avoid such a fate. How could she willingly depart the world like that? But even Malcolm, who was like a god in her eyes, couldn't save her at that moment. Yes, in that situation, Malcolm was utterly powerless. Jade breathed her last right before his eyes, and the despair surrounded Malcolm.He had the means to save her, but because of Bianca...!"You...!" Malcolm hissed through gritted teeth.Bianc
The two of them locked eyes in an icy standoff, and Bianca could feel the chilling and ruthless aura emanating from both.In the past, she had never thought of relying on anyone. Throughout her life...! When she was in Verde City, she had no one except for Natalie. Yet, Natalie wasn't someone she could rely on!Many times, Natalie needed her support. Even after Cedric came into the picture, Natalie's world remained chaotic. So, most of the time, it was Bianca who held up Natalie's crumbling world.Since coming to Simeria, Malcolm had thoroughly shattered Bianca's world! Even so, Bianca never considered relying on anyone.But now... "Hah... Zane! Let's see how long you can protect her!" Malcolm harshly said. Then, he turned around and left.Even after he departed, the air remained cold.Zane looked at Bianca, whose face remained pale. It was evident she hadn't fully recovered from the earlier confrontation.Zane chuckled softly, and Bianca snapped back to reality. She l
