Suffer more? Helplessness?Bianca laughed coldly and bitterly. "So you're telling me that your involvement with Isabella was your helplessness?"Once again, Cedric's response refreshed Bianca's understanding. Indeed, there was often a hint of contempt for the pitiful!She had thought that because Cedric had sacrificed so much for Natalie, perhaps there might have been some remorse in his heart. Yet, the answer turned out to be quite different!"Bianca, you don't understand!""You're right. I don't." Bianca's tone turned instantly sharp, her gaze piercing as she looked at Cedric.She spoke slowly, "You could have dealt with Isabella in many ways. Who did you trample upon by insisting on keeping her by your side?"Cedric remained silent."Cedric, being drawn to Nat is actually your retribution!" What if he hadn't fallen for her? Would Natalie have suffered even more pain in his world?Bianca thought so!The more she thought about it, the colder and sharper her gaze became
Natalie lay on the lounge chair under the eaves, savoring the scent of bamboo outside. It was the only thing she was fond of in this place right now.It seemed that many people couldn't resist liking the scent of rain hitting the bamboo leaves, and she was no exception."Come inside. It's very cold!" Irwin said."What's the situation over at Wexford now?" Natalie asked.Natalie had received a call from Abigail this morning. She told Natalie that Cedric had left Wexford.However, Abigail didn't know where he went.But during this time, Cedric really acted as if he wanted nothing at all. If this was a scheme, why would he give everything to Irwin?Right!Abigail had looked into it, and her investigation revealed that everything Cedric and Irwin had fought over before had now been transferred to Irwin.Cedric had conceded and given everything to Irwin.But why... did he do that?"Are you still not satisfied?" Irwin asked after taking a deep breath, his tone tinged with suppre
How had she spent the three months?Whether it was him or Cedric, they both saw her trembling from the bitterness of this small bowl of medicine.She endured for three months...!Every meal was like this."These are the last few days!" Irwin's words were tight, each word spoken with tension.Yes, the last three days.No matter how bitter the medicine was, only three days were left."Do you know what kind of pain I'll endure next?" Natalie looked in his direction.She couldn't see.However, those empty pupils made Irwin feel what agony truly was.What comes next...?"Do you know what surgery means to a person?"What did it mean?Too much!The pain Natalie endured between him and Cedric was simply too much.But no matter what kind of pain, she had to regain her sight! No matter how much hatred she held, she had to wait until her eyes could see again before saying anything.Irwin never knew that an apology or money couldn't solve the problem when someone made a mistake.
Irwin smoked several cigarettes under the dim light, seemingly easing the heaviness in his chest. Then, he pulled out his phone to call Cedric.Soon, Cedric answered. "Hello.""It's time," Irwin said."When are you coming back?" Cedric asked.At this moment, both of their tones were eerily calm.It was truly ironic!Over the years, there had always been tension between Irwin and Cedric! There was never peace between them.Everything stemmed from Blair, and now it was alleviated because of Natalie! However, this peace only made their hearts tighten."You... should come and pick her up," Irwin said.As he uttered these words, the air instantly quieted. Their breaths over the phone grew heavier!He asked Cedric to pick up Natalie?!What was his intention?"For the surgery... I'll do it!" Irwin declared.Cedric remained silent.The atmosphere became tense!As Irwin said those words, it seemed like he had used up all his strength. Without waiting for Cedric's response, he
If it weren't for Blair... everything that happened in the past would have been emotional pain she should have borne alone. But with Blair in the picture, it changed everything. Because of Blair, she got entangled in Irwin and Cedric's mess. How could she forgive that?"You've ruined my life completely! And now you want me to forgive myself and let go of everything?" Irwin fell silent."Hah... forgive myself?!" They were ruthless to her! And in the end, they even expected her to forgive herself?!How ridiculous their thoughts were!It was not just ridiculous. It was downright hateful!Irwin was silent, and his already pale face turned even paler now. They couldn't let it go. Neither Natalie nor Cedric could let it go now. It was agonizing.Irwin hadn't mentioned going back to Simeria, obviously waiting for Cedric to come and pick up Natalie. However, two days passed, and Cedric didn't show up. Finally, a message arrived.[Take her to the hospital we agreed
As the plane soared into the sky, Natalie finally asked, "Are we going back to Simeria?"However, Irwin smiled bitterly and replied, "Don't worry, I'm not selling you."Natalie frowned. In an instant, she understood that this wasn't a flight back to Simeria. She became even more displeased."What are you doing?" she asked.Irwin replied, "I'm taking you for surgery."Natalie fell silent.Surgery? Since returning to Simeria, whether it was her skin or her eyes, she had always faced the topic of surgery. But now, facing this moment, no one knew what she was feeling inside.The air was quiet. She drank from the cup in her hand vigorously, then asked tensely, "Is it available?"She was referring to corneal transplants! Only those truly in darkness knew how bleak hope could be and how scarce normalcy was, even though it seemed like everyone on the streets was normal.How many people in the world hoped? Stephen repeatedly intervened... but she refused every time. She never w
Inside the study, the atmosphere was anything but relaxed. Instead, it was heavy with tension as father and son exchanged glances.Stephen sighed. "Have you gathered all the information?""Yes," replied Clyde."The Entes family..."Each word seemed to be uttered through gritted teeth. The depths of the Entes family were notoriously murky, and now Stephen likely understood why Irwin insisted on marrying Natalie in Yuloria before bringing her back to Simeria.In truth, they were all well aware.During this period of turmoil within the Entes family, the Jarvis family wouldn't have found peace if it weren't for Cedric and Irwin by Natalie's side.With things escalating within the Entes family, it had reached a point where the Stewart family was inevitably involved."Go to Yonwood City," Stephen instructed Clyde after a moment of thought."Yonwood?" Clyde furrowed his brows."Give Nat a heads-up. Things are crucial for her right now."Indeed, he was a man who understood that when
Unlike the chaos in Simeria, Yonwood City was peaceful. It was a bustling metropolis with its myriad lights shining brightly. It was a beautiful sight.As the plane touched down, Natalie asked, "Where are we?""We're in Yonwood City."Natalie fell silent.She had heard of Yonwood City before but had never considered visiting it due to its distance from Verde City. The climate in Yonwood City was completely different from Yuloria. Even in winter, the weather was pleasant.The moment Natalie stepped off the plane, she felt waves of warmth and even caught a whiff of mixed floral scents.Yonwood City was also known as the Flower City!Many rare flowers and plants were produced here due to the suitable climate, making it ideal for plant growth."Do you smell it?" Irwin asked."Yes." Natalie nodded.Her action added a tinge of bitterness to the man's demeanor.The airport was adorned with nameless flowers, which looked beautiful and showcased the charm of the Flower City. Ho
