In the end, Yvette was escorted away.Before she left, her last glance at Zane was heavy and painful. It stirred something within Bianca's heart.At that moment, Bianca seemed to instantly understand what Yvette had been concealing behind her aloof facade all these years.As they said, "You can't force what wasn't meant to be." Her unwillingness back then was genuine. Even after so many years, Yvette couldn't change anything.A woman's fate, at times, was tragic... especially when she couldn't choose her own future.Zane glanced at her, then at the divorce agreement. When he released her and reached for it, the veins on his hands were visible from his anger.Just as he was about to tear it apart, Bianca said, "Wait!"Zane turned silently to look at Bianca.She approached him and slowly took the document from his hand. Then, she said, "We'll have to sign it sooner or later.""Bianca!""I don't know what the Entes family is like now! But Robert's passing hasn't settled the
Yet she still knew that there were precious emotions in this world.Bianca approached Zane and carefully adjusted his tie. At this moment, even her breathing felt suffocating and painful! It was the first time she felt such discomfort. "I still prefer the life I used to have."The life she had when it was untouched by Malcolm.Back then, she was carefree, proud, and unrestrained. In her world, she was proud, with no hindrances. But now? This was an abyss she had never expected to experience in her lifetime."Bianca!""The Entes family is an abyss, and even Simeria is an abyss to me!" Bianca said deliberately.Everything she had was ruined the moment she set foot on the land of Simeria.Did it hurt?Yes, it did! Was it suffocating? It was! In the past, Bianca never imagined her life would have such ups and downs.She gently adjusted the man's tie and then said, "Nat's world is in turmoil. Don't let her suffer."Zane was silent, and his eyes darkened slightly
Bother her?Zane was wrong.Bianca looked at Zane, unsure of what to say for a moment, then took a deep breath. "So, have things between Yvette and Lord Alto been cleared up now?"That was right! Previously, Yvette mentioned that her relationship with Alto had soured. Why? It wasn't just a matter of emotions. It also involved disrupting the connections between the Stewart family and Alto in such a forceful manner. Undoubtedly, by severing these ties so directly, she had greatly offended the Entes family's fourth lord...! Clearly, the relationship between the Stewart family and Alto was fractured now! If Zane were to receive support from the Stewart family at this time, it was clear that he would be in a much more advantageous situation.But it was still a mistake. The circumstances were different from before! Previously, they had placed all their hopes on the passing of the old master.But now?With Robert gone, things had become more complex and serious. Zane f
When she thought about how she might spend the rest of her life in this darkness, Natalie's heart tightened.It was too long! There was very little one could do in the darkness besides hearing sounds. No wonder some people said not everyone had the courage to face the darkness. And now, Natalie felt she lacked the courage to face this darkness."Take me back to Simeria," Natalie said after taking a deep breath.Cedric was already tensed, and he felt more suffocated upon hearing Natalie's request. "Nat!""Mr. Larkin is a good doctor, but I feel nothing from taking this medicine," Natalie said. It would be better for her to get surgery.That was the only thing on Natalie's mind now. Feeling nothing was the scariest part.Cedric understood the implications in her tone. A hint of hurt and pain flashed in his eyes. "Have you considered that surgery might..."It would be great if the surgery were successful, but what if it failed? Eye surgery was different from other sur
"We have to wait!" Cedric said in an unprecedentedly firm tone.Natalie fell silent.Had to?Cedric continued, "Robert has passed away. You should stay in Yuloria right now."Previously, she had been involved once with Malcolm. Cedric was obviously worried that she would be drawn into it again. On the surface, things in the Jarvis family seemed calm. However, no one could see what was really going on inside.And at this time, how could Cedric let Natalie take the risk of going back?"He's gone?" Natalie murmured softly.With that information, she could already guess the situation in Simeria.Anything related to that document would definitely be nothing good, and the Entes family has always been entangled in this matter.Natalie had to admit that the current situation was extremely uncomfortable for her."My family...""Your father has always been an insightful man. No one can easily manipulate him!" Cedric said.At his words, Natalie felt a little relieved. God knew ho
"Do you know what Jason said then? He said... I should abort the child!" When the people around Natalie saw her in such pain, almost everyone advised her the same thing.However, no matter how they persuaded her, Natalie endured it all!"Some of the burns on my body were quite severe, and the rotten flesh had to be scrapped off! Even now, the pockmarks on my body result from cleaning the wounds back then.""...""I couldn't take any anesthetics!""..."The moment Natalie said she had to endure the pain without any anesthetics, Cedric trembled uncontrollably.He was a strong man, but when he heard that, he couldn't help but...!He had seen it. He had seen how extensive her injuries were.To be told that she couldn't be given anesthetic at the time...He could only imagine how terrible the pain she had to endure."Nat..."It hurt.At this moment, Cedric felt an unbearable pain in his chest."People say a child is what a woman trades her life for. I didn't quite understa
Isabella held such significance in his heart. If Cedric ever had the chance, she would be the only one he'd cherish.And he would only leave the pain for Natalie and her child!"Nat…" Cedric's heart bled continuously as he listened to her words.He didn't deserve it! Even if he was suffering, he didn't have the right!He didn't have the right to raise Luna as she grew up.None at all!As she said, he didn't deserve it.No one knew what kind of inner turmoil Cedric experienced during his time with Natalie. Each time he looked at Natalie, his heart seemed to ache like a sharp blade was cutting it.The sensation was so painful!-At noon, Natalie had to drink the bitter medicine again.After Irwin arrived, he spent a full two hours in the study with Cedric. No one knew what they discussed. But when they emerged from the study, Natalie could sense the weightiness in the air, indicating the severity of the situation in Wexford."Xyla.""Yes, Miss." Xyla approached respe
How much had he invested in her, only to want to wash his hands of it all now?Suddenly, he grabbed her slender waist. Amidst the dizziness, she found herself in his arms.Warmth enveloped her, and then came the onslaught of kisses!Natalie struggled, but the man's grip tightened. He was being more ruthless than before! At that moment, his presence seemed filled with resignation, silent agony, and something even more sinister. It was as if he wished to merge her into his very bones.Warm fingertips grazed her cheek as Cedric said, "If this is what you want, I'll grant it."Since the dilemma in Wexford was meant to trap him, let her watch! If this could bring her a bit of relief, then he... would grant her wish."You're not granting anything. This is your just punishment!" Natalie's tone was icy!Her hollow eyes held no emotion, but her words dripped with venom. As Cedric held her, he could feel her presence but no warmth.She seemed devoid of warmth... or perhaps, any war
