"If you fear retribution so much, why did you do such things in the first place?"Irwin fell silent.One could disappoint anyone, but never disappoint a woman.The bottom line in a woman's heart was inviolable! Yet he and Cedric both crossed Natalie's bottom line."What does it mean?""...”"Are you afraid of owing me a lifetime?"Natalie's laughter turned more ironic.Irwin's heart was already aching, but hearing Natalie's words made him feel even more uncomfortable.Just a lifetime of debt? But if her eyes didn't improve because of Edward's medicine, it wasn't just a lifetime of debt.What awaited would be a heavier price! Cedric had already signed the surgery consent form and sent it to him.It was clear how firm Cedric was in his decision.If the medicine showed no improvement in three months, they would go to the hospital Cedric arranged. Cedric would do the surgery for her sake, and when she returned to the Jarvis family, she would be whole again.As for Cedr
Natalie didn't feel anything particular about Edward's medicine, but her routine had been adjusted. She had to sleep half an hour after lunch. However, Bianca found it impossible to sleep.The situation in Simeria was suffocating her. It was especially worse today as she read an article about it.On the news, she saw Zane and Yvette's cousin, Irene Stewart', appearing in public together. They were holding hands...!Rumors spread because of this report, even suggesting that she and Zane had divorced!This bombshell of news, coupled with Yvette's assertion that Zane now needed her father's support, painted a clear picture of Simeria's current state.In the study, Bianca's phone buzzed with an unknown number. She answered. "Hello.""It's me." Yvette's voice came through the phone."You..."When it came to Yvette now, Bianca didn't know how to describe her feelings. Even through the phone, she could sense the sadness in Yvette's voice.Irene Stewart!She was Yvette's cousin.
Natalie found it utterly impossible for Cedric to do what Bianca had mentioned.Upon hearing this, Bianca fell silent!Undoubtedly, Natalie had long since formed a conclusion about Cedric.It wasn't just her.Everyone who witnessed Cedric's actions felt that Natalie was unimportant to him.She wasn't even close to Isabella's position in Cedric's heart!-In Simeria, things between Zane and Irene were escalating rapidly. At first, Bianca would still go and watch, but after a few days, she simply couldn't be bothered anymore.Some things were just too painful to watch.At night, Bianca went to see the night view in Yuloria. She had to admit that it was truly beautiful...! When she was in Verde City, she had heard that the night view in Yuloria was loved by many. In fact, Yuloria was quite known for it.After seeing it tonight, she realized it was truly worth it.On her way back, she saw a man standing outside the courtyard. There was a cold and lonely air around the man, and
In the following days, Bianca was always by Natalie's side every time she took her medicine."Do you still not feel anything?"Natalie was stunned at Bianca's words.She looked in Bianca's direction and furrowed her brows. "Why are you acting like Irwin now?"Bianca fell silent.Irwin?!That was right.Every day after Natalie finished her medicine, Irwin would definitely ask if she felt anything!After Irwin returned, Bianca went to the study to see him. It was unusual for her to seek him out.Ever since she knew about Blair, she couldn't stand Irwin much.Of course, she couldn't stand Cedric either!Irwin looked at Bianca's serious expression and frowned. "Can I help you, Ms. Sanders?"Bianca got straight to the point. "What's the deal between you two?"A deal!Yes, Bianca felt the same as Natalie. Whether it was Cedric or Irwin, their actions were always part of a scheme or deal.Bianca still felt the same even now."Did you see it?" Irwin asked.At this moment, the
Bianca tenderly touched Natalie's eye and said in a complicated tone, "You'll get better, Nat...!"Natalie furrowed her brows. Obviously, she noticed the emotions in Bianca's tone. Yet, she didn't know the reason behind it.Natalie grabbed Bianca's hand, wanting to ask something, but the question stuck in her throat. "Bia.""Hmm?""You and Zane..." When she reached this point, Natalie trailed off. Natalie obviously misunderstood, thinking Bianca's current complex emotions were due to her and Zane.Zane...! The moment this name came up, Bianca instinctively withdrew her hand from Natalie's grasp.Natalie fell silent.Her hand was left empty! For some reason, at that moment, her senses became more acute. She... clearly sensed something different about Bianca's attitude toward Zane.What kind of person is Bianca? Natalie knew that Bianca had always been someone who was absolutely not swayed by emotions.However, that feeling had evidently been completely shaken now.
Natalie found Bianca's current situation increasingly complex. However, Bianca always had her principles and a straightforward approach to things.She understood the connections between Bianca and Malcolm well. No matter what, Bianca wouldn't let Malcolm ascend smoothly to that position. So, her return now was not just for Zane but more so because of Malcolm.In a moment, Natalie untangled these intricacies in her mind, which only deepened her concern for Bianca."Bia, Malcolm is a very dangerous man. He's a lunatic!" Natalie expressed her genuine worry.Previously, Bianca had almost lost her life because of Faye. After that, it was because of Jade's vendetta.Natalie was truly worried!Bianca's eyes darkened at the mention of that man."Nat, some grudges aren't worth the hate. But some, we can't let go of," she said, her voice heavy with meaning. It was a matter of principle for her. If she let go, what would it signify? It was impossible for her!"Malcolm won't let me
On the other end of the line, Abigail didn't refute Natalie's words. After all, those who stood at the summit, whether outwardly or inwardly, were not simple individuals. "Perhaps you're right," Abigail admitted."Alright." Natalie ended the call.Sitting in the darkness, Natalie's mind was in turmoil. When Irwin returned, she remained seated where she was. The man approached, his cool aura enveloping her.He knelt and took Natalie's hand. Then, he said, "Your hands are still cold."His tone was gentle. Without a second thought, Natalie withdrew her hand from his grasp.Irwin fell silent as bitterness flashed in his eyes.To say he was sad...!Despite Irwin successfully separating Cedric from Natalie, it wasn't like he was having a good time by her side. He didn't know how to break down the barriers in Natalie's heart."Nat," he sighed deeply, wanting to say something. But seeing Natalie's indifferent expression, he held back his words.As days passed by, Natalie's eye
In the afternoon, Irwin sought out Edward. The atmosphere between them was tense. Whether it was Irwin or Cedric, they had pinned all their hopes on Edward.After hearing the purpose of Irwin's visit, Edward looked at him with a serious expression and said, "If there's still no response at this point, there's no need to continue drinking the medicine."Irwin fell silent.His already troubled expression darkened a bit more upon hearing this statement. "You don't have to use Max to threaten me. Her injuries were too severe! Regardless of how we tried to control it, it was only a matter of time. If she had come to me earlier, there might have been a better chance for her to recover."Earlier?Yes, the previous successful cases were all because those people sought help upon discovering damage to their eyes. And what about Natalie?Two whole years.During those two years, her family had only controlled the lights around her and made her take some medication. In doing those things
