The night passed peacefully.Natalie was happy because of Clyde's presence, and her lingering discontent towards Irwin and Cedric dissipated. Due to that, she was able to sleep well.Although Heather had been calling her, expressing her desire to be by her side, Natalie had been hesitant to accept for fear of revealing her vulnerability to her family. Deep down, however, she longed for their company.Girls were like that. They wanted their family by their side during the toughest times. They didn't want to show their vulnerability, but they craved their family's presence more than anything.-Natalie slept soundly, but for a few, sleep evaded them throughout the night.The next morning, Lydia and Xyla hurriedly finished their breakfast before Natalie woke up. As Natalie couldn't eat due to her surgery today, they had to finish before she woke up."Let's go," Clyde's voice rang out.In the next moment, he scooped Natalie up in his arms."Are you going with me to the surgery?"
Clyde kept comforting Natalie, "Don't be afraid. Listen to me and relax. Take deep breaths. It's okay...!"After a long time, Natalie finally relaxed under Clyde's reassurance. Those horrible memories gradually faded away.Her heart also calmed down completely, and Clyde felt somewhat relieved when he saw her like this.Then, the surgery began.Just as they were about to administer the anesthetic, Natalie asked, "Can you tell me whose corneas are being used?"At her words, Clyde subconsciously glanced in Cedric's direction, and Cedric was also looking at him!The two men locked eyes, sparks of tension and resignation flying between them.Finally, Clyde looked away. "I don't know. They were donated.""And the person?""Deceased."Natalie fell silent, and Cedric said nothing.Clyde's straightforward answer indicated his unwillingness to dwell on the issue any further, so what else was there to argue about now? Perhaps this was the best resolution for all of them!At that mo
"I won't let go of her hand. I won't leave her side!" Irwin said, each word simple yet resolute.Clyde raised an eyebrow. Hearing Irwin's strong words felt almost like a joke to him.The next moment, Clyde retorted, "If you want to keep her, it depends on whether you have what it takes!"Clyde's words were meaningful, and no one knew Irwin's thoughts after hearing them. Clyde then entered the room, leaving Irwin alone in the corridor.Irwin's eyes shimmered with an unprecedented determination.Too much! He had inflicted too much pain on Natalie. This time, he just wanted to do everything to stay by her side.When Dylan approached Irwin, he couldn't help but feel a pang of empathy seeing the desolation in the man's silhouette. Even as a man, Dylan's heart tightened at that moment."Sir." Dylan stepped forward, bringing Irwin's attention back."Did he leave?" Irwin asked."Yes.""Where did he go?""Well..." What could Dylan say? His tone was heavy, and Irwin understood t
What kind of existence were Irwin and Cedric to the Jarvis family? A heartbreaking one—especially in Clyde's view.After witnessing Natalie endure so much pain, Clyde wished they would never appear in her world again. So, who cared what Irwin and Cedric were like, and what had they endured?It didn't matter!If Clyde had his way, neither Irwin nor Cedric would ever set foot in Natalie's world again.However, at this moment...Irwin said, "He said there's no hope between him and Natalie. He said there was... no way out for them!" When Irwin had heard Cedric's words, he sensed endless despair in his speech. Yes, Cedric's despair! What could have driven a man to such a point?"At least he knows it very well," Clyde said sharply.Irwin chuckled bitterly. The laugh was bitter and painful. "You really are her brother," he said to Clyde. From how Clyde reacted, it was clear that he and Natalie were siblings. They were emotionally indifferent to a similar extent.Clyde
Bianca's words were profound and icy.Yvette's complexion was already bad, and it turned even paler at Bianca's words. Anyone who knew about Yvette's past knew what kind of feelings she harbored towards Zane.Whether in the past or during the years she spent with Alto, Yvette had always been dissatisfied with how things had turned out.That kind of dissatisfaction...!It caused a suffocating sensation in Yvette's chest whenever she thought about it!Bianca's statement about how Yvette had ended everything echoed fiercely in her mind, tearing at her rationality. Bianca was right. It didn't matter that Yvette had ended things. It wouldn't lead to a new beginning. But Yvette couldn't accept it. Back then, she and Zane had been doing fine. They had been about to get married!So, why had those things happened?And why did she have to bear it all? She didn't want to! No matter what, it shouldn't be her burden!"Whether Frederick is in Malcolm's hands or not... You know in y
After a while, Zane said, "From now on, don't go to the Jarvis family again."He was talking about what she had done two days ago!When Zane suddenly disappeared, Bianca panicked! So, she hastily went to the Jarvis family because they were Natalie's parents.At that time, the only ones she could rely on and help her were the Jarvis family!Unexpectedly, Zane came back after that."In the end, you still don't want to involve the Jarvis family," Bianca said."They won't be involved." Zane's words were calm and rational, and what he said was true.What kind of existence was Stephen in Simeria?He was like an old fox!If he was going to be involved in the Entes family, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait until now?So even if Bianca had gone to meet Stephen, he ultimately wouldn't have gotten involved if he didn't want to."It's good that you're back," Bianca said after a while.After Zane came back, Bianca had actually asked where he went. However, he never ans
Natalie wanted to divorce Irwin!Natalie knew why Irwin had chosen that critical moment to register their marriage in Yuloria.However, she didn't want to accept Irwin's kindness.To be exact, everything good about this man was accompanied by schemes, just like Cedric.That was Natalie's opinion.When did such thoughts start? It seemed that everything good Irwin did for her carried ulterior motives."Staying away from him would be best!" Clyde smiled when he heard Natalie say she wanted to divorce Irwin the most.His eyes were full of relief. But at the same time, there was also deep concern.When Natalie said that, Clyde saw it as her wanting to protect herself.And it seemed like overprotection.After everything she had experienced with Cedric and Irwin, she was no longer willing to trust anyone except her own family.It was as if anyone's kindness to her might have an ulterior motive!In fact, Clyde had also pondered this question.Why would Cedric allow Irwin to stay
At that moment, Natalie and Clyde couldn't help but hold their breaths.Natalie kept her eyes closed. It felt as if they were glued shut, and she was too afraid to open them.This was the final moment...This was indeed the final moment!Both she and Clyde were well aware that whatever she faced when she opened her eyes now would be what she'd have to confront for the rest of her life."Open them!" The doctor's tone grew more stern.Natalie was silent.The voice sounded somewhat familiar, was it... Isaac?!The person who disappeared completely after fighting with Cedric...? When Natalie heard the voice, her face turned pale.But the next moment, Clyde spoke up, "Zac, you're scaring her."Compared to Isaac's stern tone, Clyde's was even graver. The atmosphere instantly grew tense.Hearing Clyde address Isaac by a nickname shook Natalie's composure.Finally, she tried to open her eyes!However, after several attempts, she couldn't do it."I can't open them."The room f
