Cedric told Stephen that after he heard about the possibility from Edward, he made that decision.He never thought of letting Natalie spend the rest of her life in darkness. He would handle everything as quickly as possible and make her regain her sight quickly."He's punishing himself too!" Stephen finally said after a long time and sighed.Heather fell silent, and her breath hitched at Stephen's words. Was he punishing himself? Undoubtedly... Stephen was right. Cedric was punishing himself. He was atoning for the evils he had committed in that way! But his sins were so grave. Could he be redeemed?!-After Cedric left, Luna came into the house. She hugged Heather tightly and said, "Grandma, I didn't eat anything from the stranger just now.""You're such a good girl, Luna," Heather praised.As she listened to Luna's words, Heather felt a pang in her heart. This was all Cedric's doing, the retribution he brought upon himself! No wonder no one pitied him. He... wa
Never?!Such an explanation seemed so feeble now.And Irwin had especially shocked Natalie today! He... actually spoke well of Cedric... Just because they both like the same woman.Enemies could also be... friends!?Such a result was truly ironic and laughable."Nat, you don't need to be like this." Irwin felt a pang of anguish when he saw Natalie in this state."Enough!" Natalie's tone was icy.Clearly, Blair was like a taboo to her, especially after the humiliation from Cedric and Irwin over the years.Blair's emergence made Natalie fully realize what kind of presence she was in Cedric and Irwin's world.She wasn't as important as outsiders thought, nor was she what she presumed herself to be. Natalie had just been indulging herself, hadn't she?In fact, her presence in Irwin and Cedric's world over the years was laughable and pathetic."Nat, I'm not someone who likes to explain. You should know I'm telling the truth.""Who knows what schemes you're plotting again!"
Every moment was tormenting. The relationship between Cedric, Irwin, and Natalie is now murky. Meanwhile, the Entes family had reached a critical point in Simeria!Once Cedric returned to Wexford, the situation with the document escalated. Things between Malcolm and Zane were also at a critical juncture!At Verdant Villa, cigar smoke swirled in the man's hand. When Bianca entered the room with the kitten, she noticed the man's heavy gaze. When Zane saw her, he composed himself."It seems you've taken good care of this little one. It's growing well," he remarked.He recalled how he had found the little thing on the road and how it looked like a tiny ball then. Its fur hadn't even grown out fully yet.But now, in Bianca's hands, its fur had grown beautifully. Though it was still small, it radiated with life.Bianca sat beside Zane with the kitten in her arms. "The growth cycle of small animals is short, but raising a child is different."Children required much effort when it
As Bianca had mentioned, perhaps she had seen too much when she had been in Verde City. Because of that, she never once thought about getting married. She never thought she'd go hysterical over loving a man!In her opinion...!The more passionate love, the more painful it was when it ended. If that was the case, it was better not to indulge in such emotions. Bianca had seen a glimpse of Zane's inner turmoil, which made her even more cautious.But women...!Sometimes, what people said did make sense—women were naive when it came to matters of the heart. Bianca used to respond to such remarks with, "Yes, they were naive. If they weren't, the one who ends up crying won't be the woman!"Back then, her words were so sarcastic. She had been so easygoing then and always felt it was best not to get emotionally involved. Wasn't it great for a woman to live freely? Why... must she have that kind of potentially life-threatening affection?Actually, in matters of the heart, whoever
Yvette looked at Bianca and said, "My father still hasn't shown whether he supports Zane or not."As she spoke these words, there was a heaviness in Yvette's tone, and Bianca naturally understood the gravity behind it. The look in Yvette's eyes towards her was both silent and sharp."Because you're still here," Yvette's words were direct and carried a sense of urgency.Bianca remained silent. It seemed that Yvette didn't know she would be leaving tonight.As Bianca gently touched the sleeping kitten in her arms, Yvette felt a suffocated feeling at the sight of the cat. She also loved cats!Zane had probably forgotten, but on the last good day they had, she had said to him, "Zane, I want to raise a kitten.""Alright, I'll find you a beautiful one."Zane's words echoed in her ears.Yvette still remembered that day vividly. It had been a wonderful day, and neither of them had foreseen what was to come. It was to be their last moment of harmony before diverging onto complet
Bianca had never deeply loved anyone before.But at this moment, in Yvette's eyes, it seemed as though she saw just how profound love could be.It was deep enough that... one would do anything for the other person!All her emotions, whether serene, restrained, extreme, or bitterly sharp, were displayed for that one person!The first time she saw Yvette, the latter stood out among the women of the Entes family. She was aloof and elegant.When Yvette noticed the changes in the Entes family, she lost the grace and the gentleness of a noble lady. She had been hysterical toward Bianca at Verdant Villa.Now, when speaking of her father's intention to adopt her cousin, she appeared even more hopeless and calm...!Bianca had seen what happened to Natalie, and she had seen a lot of broken marriages during her time as a lawyer.She wouldn't believe that someone could love another so deeply.But now, she saw that kind of love in Yvette. As long as Zane was okay, Yvette would be fine
The two locked eyes.One was sharp and vicious, while the other... was fearless and mocking!It had to be said that when a person reached the point of fearing nothing, not even death, it truly left others helpless against them.Wasn't that exactly how Bianca was now?Even someone as tough as Malcolm was...!Looking into Bianca's eyes, which were devoid of fear, he truly wished he could gouge them out. It was as if that was the only way he could find some peace."Brother-in-law... Hehe!"What a way to address him!It was the first time Malcolm had been so ruthlessly outwitted.No one had ever dared do such a thing to him before.What made it worse was that it had been a woman who had done it! Women usually flocked to him, and none would dare do this!Bianca had really broadened Malcolm's horizons.After he released her, Malcolm patted her face and turned away. "Bianca, I'll be waiting!""...""I'll be waiting for the day Zane abandons you!" There's joy in the man's tone,
Irwin looked at Natalie and sighed. "You must get better..."His words carried such depth and pain, as if there was a hidden meaning behind them.Natalie was focused on the rain around her, and she stopped answering any of Irwin's questions.Ever since Cedric left, their interactions had always been this cold!Clack! Clack!The sound of heels and wheels echoed in the yard, making Natalie frown as she rose."It's Ms. Sanders," Lydia said, leaning in close to Natalie's ear as she noticed the panic flicker across Natalie's face.No one knew how Natalie's heart had jumped to her throat when she heard the sound of heels. It felt like what she had experienced back then...!On the day Scarlet Villa burned down, she also heard such footsteps. So, in the darkness, she feared hearing such noise most.Upon hearing Lydia say it was Bianca, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. But... why was Bianca here?"Nat," Bianca called out."Bia?""It's me.""What brings you here?" Clearly, Bia
