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
Irwin had passed on Frederick's information to Cedric!Then, Cedric left her side! Even a fool could tell what Irwin had outlined to her was a fact. However, Cedric was given a multiple-choice question! Ultimately, Cedric had to choose between her and Wexford...And he naturally chose Wexford!There was a suffocating feeling in Natalie's chest. It was an uncomfortable sensation... and wasn't easy to endure!"You know, you're very clever!" Irwin said coldly."Even if I know, so what? Am I supposed to follow your arrangements?"Danger simmered in Natalie's tone.Irwin fell silent.Supposed to?Undoubtedly, this was a multiple-choice question for Cedric! But for Natalie? It was also one! But she also had the right not to choose anything."Irwin, don't you understand by now?"Understand what?"You better pray I never get the chance to see again, or... I'll tear you and Cedric to pieces!" Natalie hissed, her words dripping with danger.Irwin remained silent.So, sh
Cedric probably didn't know what kind of image he held in his daughter's heart right now. No, in fact, he did know...! It was precisely because he knew that his heart was in great agony as he made his way back from Yuloria!He had thought about so much.These years...He not only hurt Natalie but ultimately also hurt their child. He even became a villain in the child's eyes!-In the study, Stephen looked at Cedric with a furrowed brow.There was a glint of darkness in his eyes. "Don't blame me either!"Obviously, he was referring to Natalie's situation! Just now, Stephen made it clear that Cedric should leave Natalie.Indeed!Cedric couldn't get any approval as he stood before the father of his beloved woman.The entire Jarvis family didn't want to hand Natalie over to him! They didn't want any relationship between them anymore."Irwin is with her now," Cedric said with a heavy tone.Stephen fell silent. He was already in a bad mood, and hearing Cedric say such thi
