Ch. 641..650
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 641-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 eyes remained unresponsive. Despite Edward's expertise as a great doctor and the effectiveness of the medications administered, there was no improvement in her condition.
Was it inevitable that the surgery would have to be performed?
"Is it raining again outside?"
Natalie had become very familiar with the sound on the roof during her time here.
"Yes," Irwin replied.
"The weather in Yuloria isn't great at all."
It rained constantly, and Natalie wondered how the people in Yuloria managed.
"You don't like this weather?" Irwin asked.
He remembered Natalie once expressing her desire to visit Yuloria because of its beautiful scenery.
However, after experiencing it firsthand, she understood that every place had pros and cons.
"I don't like it."
"This is the rainy season here. It'll get better after this period."
"And after this period, it'll get so cold that it's maddening, right?"
"Pretty much!" Irwin replied.
It was the truth.
It was only after the rainy season had passed that she realized how cold it could be here.
As time passed slowly, Natalie became increasingly accustomed to the darkness.
People often said that familiarity was frightening. However, when one truly reached that state and saw no hope, adaptation and resignation were the only options.
Most people hesitated to give up their lives and chose to adapt.
Natalie was among the former.
When she lost her sight completely, just like in her previous life, she chose… to adapt diligently.
She adapted!
And with this adaptation, her hatred towards Irwin and Cedric grew stronger and stronger.
It was an overwhelming hatred!
So she warned Irwin and Cedric never to give her a chance to see them again in this lifetime, or she would make sure they suffered beyond redemption.
The medicine still had no effect on her!
When the three-month time limit was almost up, Irwin… reached out and waved his hand in front of Natalie as he held his breath!
Irwin kept an eye on Natalie's subtle reaction, but there was… no reaction at all.
How could she have no reaction?
Why was there no reaction?
Three months had passed.
Edward said that if there was no improvement in three months, surgery was the only option for her eyes.
"Nat?"
Irwin sighed.
Natalie was silent. At his words, she stirred slightly.
"When did you come back?"
At this moment, Irwin's mind was blank.
There was no reaction. The medicine truly had no effect at all.
Three months had almost passed. Had the three months of suffering been in vain?
"Do you still feel nothing?" Irwin asked in a tight voice.
Nobody knew how complicated his feelings were at this moment. He and Cedric had been enemies for so many years.
They had fought for so many years! They had even schemed against each other for so many years.
Yet they… had never truly harmed each other. At most, they had caused damage to each other's external interests.
However, now… Irwin understood better than anyone else what this meant.
Natalie frowned, "No!"
The words hit Irwin's heart heavily. He took several deep breaths to suppress the heaviness in his chest.
Then he said, "It's okay. There are still five days left."
That was right!
There were still five days until the end of three months. Perhaps something would change in the next five days.
Natalie had already accepted it in her heart. She probably understood that the medicine had no effect on her.
But when it came to this point, the one who couldn't accept it the most turned out to be Irwin.
"Let's wait a little longer," Irwin said, not sure if he was comforting himself or persistently believing that there was still hope for the medicine.
So, in the evening, he watched Natalie drink the medicine with his own eyes.
Although he was physically present during this time, he was always mentally elsewhere.
Given his nature, even though he was in Yuloria, he could very well be thinking about the matters related to Wexford.
People always said that once a person had been tainted, anything they did would always be associated with that stain.
"Just one more sip, be good," Irwin frowned when Natalie put down the bowl.
Natalie was silent.
One sip?
Lydia and Xyla clearly sensed that something was off with Irwin.
What was he up to?
Although Irwin had been attentive to Natalie during this time, his demeanor today was clear to everyone.
"Irwin, don't you understand?" Natalie asked.
"Just one more sip. Be good, okay?" Irwin forcibly interrupted Natalie's words as if he knew what she was going to say but didn't want to hear anything.
No one knew how tightly wound Irwin's heart was at this moment. The pain gripped him fiercely, causing him to feel suffocated.
In the end, Natalie reached out to take the bowl from his hand.
However, Irwin said, "I'll feed you…!"
"I'll do it myself!" Natalie said coldly.
Irwin didn't argue with her. He carefully placed the bowl into her hands and watched her drink all the medicine.
Bitter!
It was truly bitter.
Watching Natalie endure the bitterness of drinking the medicine was heart-wrenching, and thinking about what was to come made it even more bitter.
"Happy?" Natalie handed the empty bowl to Irwin, not leaving a drop.
That seemed to finally make Irwin relent.
"Open your mouth. I have the rock sugar."
"No need."
"Nat."
"Isn't the bitterness between you and him that you made me endure worse than this medicine?" Natalie novelbin said in a tone devoid of warmth.
Yet, it was these words that made Irwin feel suffocated instantly.
Indeed…!
Over the years, wasn't the bitterness between him and Cedric, which affected Natalie, worse than this bowl of medicine?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 642-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, they had merely prolonged the condition of her eyes.
Now, problems were surfacing.
Irwin remained silent.
At this moment, he felt a chill throughout his body.
"Prepare for surgery," the old man's sharp eyes glanced at Irwin like a hawk.
Surgery?!
Upon hearing those words, his expression grew even graver. After all, 'surgery' was a heavy term for him now.
He closed his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath and asked, "Is there no other way?"
Like adjusting the medication!
However, Edward never mentioned changing the medication, indicating that the medication couldn't solve Natalie's eye condition.
"She's taken many other medications over these two years, and she went blind even while she was taking them. Recovery through medication is unlikely."
Unlikely?
"Then, is there any way?"
Unlikely meant there was still hope!
However, Edward's next words disappointed Irwin. He only said, "No. She'll have to prepare for surgery." Surgery!
Edward repeatedly emphasized surgery.
Irwin understood that if even the doctor repeatedly suggested surgery, there was probably no other solution.
• In the end, Irwin returned to the courtyard in a daze. Today was a rare sunny day. Yuloria's afternoon sunlight was warm, and Natalie sat on a recliner in the courtyard. The sunlight fell on her, bringing warmth, but her hollow eyes were suffocating to look at. Irwin approached and sat on the stone bench beside her. Natalie felt his presence and frowned. "It's been a long time since I've felt the taste of sunlight, but unfortunately… I can't see it now!" She paused, her tone laden with bitterness, making it even more heartbreaking. Irwin took a deep breath, suppressing the heaviness in his chest. "Don't worry, you'll be able to see." "Did you go to see Edward?" Natalie asked. "Yes." "How did he respond?" How did he respond?! Irwin recalled Edward's words and looked into Natalie's eyes with a grave expression. He reached out and took Natalie's hand. The warmth in the man's palm was like a blazing flame, making it almost scorching. Natalie instinctively wanted to pull away, but the man's grip tightened. "He said to finish the last few days of medication…" The last few days?! If there was still no effect until now, Edward himself had said there was no need to continue with the medicine. I lie only up.iun lei was surgery: However, Irwin still wanted to give it a try! The last few days! Traditional medicine… sometimes had such miraculous power. Natalie frowned. "Okay." She didn't inquire further. In her heart, she probably already had an idea. Just as the two were about to say something, Dylan arrived. "Sir." Dylan looked solemnly at Irwin, subconsciously glancing at Natalie. Irwin probably knew what news Dylan brought at this moment. He stood up and said, "To the study." "Yes, sir." Irwin released Natalie's hand and got up. Then, he gently adjusted the blanket on Natalie's body, his movements tender and indulgent. Dylan watched with a touch of bitterness. The two went to the study. Natalie lay in the darkness. Whether her eyes were open or closed, all she saw was darkness! It was meaningless to her.
• In the study, the atmosphere was heavy. Irwin held a cigarette. He took several heavy drags, unable to suppress the heaviness in his chest. Dylan handed him the relevant documents. novelbin Irwin glanced at them. "Is it all true?" His words carried an indescribable complexity and heaviness. Dylan nodded. "Yes, it's all true." True! Haha! Blair…! What a good one! At this moment, the turmoil in Irwin's heart over these past few days completely collapsed because of this file. Blair Russell. In his and Cedric's world, what kind of existence was Blair? She was an existence so perfect it suffocated people. The things from back then were what they least wanted to recall, and they were the reason for the complete rupture between him and Cedric. However, now… Bang! "That old man is really damn ruthless!" Irwin's words were fierce, revealing the depth of his inner pain. Dylan fell silent, and his brows furrowed tightly. Evidently, this was something he hadn't anticipated. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. "How is he now?" Irwin asked. He was referring to Cedric! During this time, Irwin constantly inquired about Natalie's reaction to the medication, which ultimately stemmed from his concern for his childhood bond with Cedric. And now that he had discovered Blair's true nature, his feelings toward Cedric… There was no need to mention it! Yet Natalie still hadn't recovered. There was not even the slightest improvement! What did this imply? It implied that Cedric would inevitably give up his eyes for Natalie…! Irwin couldn't bear to think about it. When Dylan mentioned Cedric, the gravity in his already serious eyes deepened. He said, "Most of the things have probably been transferred under your name, and he's already restrained the Schneider family." Irwin fell silent. At this moment, his mind went blank! What… was Cedric trying to do? Though Cedric was physically in Wexford, he knew everything about Natalie's situation in Yuloria. He knew Natalie had no reaction to Edward's medicine. So, he had slowly begun to prepare everything! And all those things…! Irwin and Cedric had fought over all those things for so many years. Now, he had given them entirely over to Irwin, undoubtedly letting go completely. Cedric had… let go of Blair! And he had completely entrusted Natalie to Irwin. What kind of bond did he share with Natalie? Natalie hated him because of Wexford! But how could she know that Wexford was Cedric's pain? Cedric understood better than anyone what kind of whirlpool Wexford was. That was why he never thought of involving Natalie in Wexford's mess. He… was protecting her in his own way.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 643-When did his fear of letting Natalie know about Blair start?
He knew…
He always knew about Cedric's feelings for Natalie. Over the years, he had been exploiting those feelings.
Back then, Cedric drove him crazy!
And he wanted to make Cedric feel that madness completely.
Did Cedric truly taste this bitterness now?
However, Irwin felt no relief in his heart!
"Does he know?" Irwin asked.
He was referring to Cedric's awareness of Blair.
Dylan frowned. After a moment's thought, he said, "I think he's known for a long time."
After all, if he didn't know, how could he be so deeply moved by Natalie?
On the other hand, even if Irwin had fallen for Natalie, it was only because of the obsession in his heart.
That obsession would always overshadow them.
That obsession had also blinded him.
Now, it was all out in the open!
He wasn't just angry. He was also in turmoil.
The only time he felt peace… was when he was with Natalie!
"He's known for a long time…" Irwin murmured these words softly.
At this moment, no one knew what turmoil was raging in his heart.
Cedric…!
Since he knew, then why…?
There was no doubt that the magnitude of that incident between them was proportional to its impact on Irwin, as was evident from these years.
The impact that incident had on Irwin was almost lifelong.
Under such profound influence, if Cedric were to tell him about the agreement and understanding between Blair and the old man, then Irwin…!
There was no need to guess what the outcome would be, right?
"You're dismissed."
In this instant, Irwin seemed to have straightened out all the twists and turns.
As he closed his eyes, he hid the sharpness and coldness in his eyes.
Dylan knew that although Irwin had begun to suspect what happened in the past, Irwin was undoubtedly shaken when faced with the truth!
"Then, I'll be leaving," Dylan said solemnly, looking at Irwin with some concern.
After Dylan left, Irwin was alone in the study.
The moment he opened his eyes, endless coldness shimmered in their depths.
Yet, his whole body exuded an unspoken desolation.
"Blair…"
When he murmured the name again, there was no warmth in it.
There was only endless coldness. - Dylan left the study and saw Natalie lying on the recliner as he passed by the courtyard.
A complicated glint flashed in his eyes. He approached her and asked, "Is there still no improvement at all?"
When Natalie heard Dylan's voice, she smiled and said, "That's right."
Although Dylan was one of Irwin's men, he had helped her a lot when she was single-mindedly focused on building her business while waiting to divorce Cedric.
So, despite her dissatisfaction with Irwin and Cedric, she had never been unfriendly towards him.
When Dylan heard her answer, the complicated glint in his eyes deepened.
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words. Finally, he sighed and left.
At the man's sigh, Natalie frowned!
The wind was picking up, and Lydia came out. "Miss, shall we go inside?"
The weather in Yuloria was like this, warm and sunny one moment, chilly and windy the next. Most people couldn't adapt to such weather.
Natalie nodded, and Lydia helped her up.
But just as she was about to take a step, she felt someone wrap an arm around her waist, and a crisp scent came over her.
Natalie fell silent.
It was Irwin!
Wasn't he in the study just now?
He carried her inside.
When they arrived indoors, he sat her down on a chair. Xyla had gone to make Natalie her favorite fruit tea.
Natalie sat in the darkness, keenly aware of the heavy atmosphere emanating from the man.
Natalie's expression turned cold, evidently impatient!
Irwin also sensed her mood. "What can I possibly say to you?"
The words carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness.
She couldn't see, but she could clearly sense people's emotions and breath.
"You don't need to say anything!" Natalie said.
"Let's get married."
Natalie fell silent.
Irwin's sudden words made Natalie's head buzz!
Married?!
In fact, ever since leaving Verde City, the topic of whether they would get married in Simeria was everpresent.
If Natalie hadn't found that photo in Stephen's study, they… probably would have been married already!
The photo of him and Cedric had planted the seed of doubt about Natalie getting married to Irwin.
When Irwin first came to Yuloria, he mentioned marriage.
What was Natalie's response then?
"Do you need something in Wexford that only my father can provide?"
In Natalie's mind, Irwin was a calculative man. He had manipulated Cedric for so many years and ensnared her in it.
She didn't believe this man truly loved someone or truly wanted to… marry someone!
Marriage was his tool for self-interest.
And she, the daughter of the Jarvis family who had Stephen's support, was the object he needed to use.
"Hmph!" Natalie snorted coldly.
Irwin's heart sank continuously.
Finally, he erupted.
"Natalie, can't you stop suspecting everything?"
Yes, she was suspicious.
She suspected that Stephen was useful to Irwin, and that was why the latter was proposing to her.
Natalie emanated an icy coldness around her.
Without waiting for her to speak, Irwin continued, "Right now… you have to marry me!"
At least, she had to marry him before going back to Simeria.
"What? Soft tactics didn't work, so now you're resorting to force?" Natalie said.
She smiled, but it was a smile that stung the man's eyes!
The suffocating feeling in Irwin's chest intensified!
He took a deep breath.
"I don't care what you think. If you want to go back to Simeria, you must marry me."
With that, he turned and left.
His hurried footsteps sounded more like he was fleeing.
He walked into the courtyard, and the scent of bamboo made Irwin's chest feel slightly better. He took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
In his life, he had never been in such a wretched state before!
Not even with Blair.
He and Cedric both owed Natalie. So this time… they should pay her back.
He couldn't bring her back to ten years ago, but at least he could let her pass this time peacefully.
Inside, Natalie felt a chilling cold all over her body!
"Miss." Lydia looked at Natalie with concern.
Obviously, she didn't expect Irwin to make such a strong demand.
During this time, Irwin had been patient with her, but now…!
Before Natalie could speak, Lydia suggested, "Should we call Sir?" She was referring to Stephen!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 644-Irwin wasn't like Cedric. He didn't forbid Natalie from contacting her family.
Even when she contacted them, Natalie didn't allow Lydia to disclose her situation here.
With both the Entes family and Wexford in turmoil, Stephen couldn't remain uninvolved.
Ultimately, Natalie didn't want her family to worry too much about her.
Even now.
"No, it's fine."
She wanted to see what else Irwin could do!
But if he wanted to use her again, it depended on whether she agreed or not.
• Once, in the struggle between Cedric and Irwin, Natalie endured considerable harm. Now, she remained silent about matters that concerned them!
• Heather called. Her concern for Natalie was evident as they spoke to each other. "Don't worry, I can actually already tell…" "Can you see?" Heather sounded tense on the phone. Natalie fell silent. See?! Since the moment she lost her sight completely, she knew… this time, seeing again was just wishful thinking for her. When did the desire to see again become a luxury in her heart? A feeling of suffocation spread through her chest, making her feel increasingly tense inside. "Mom, I'll get better soon, okay?" At that moment, besides soothing Heather with such words, Natalie didn't know what else to do. During her time in Yuloria, whether it was towards Cedric or Irwin, she always showed her thorns. Yet nobody knew how she struggled to see in the darkness. She hoped to recover her sight and 15:22 14/02/2024 Read A Divorce After My Rebirth Complete Novel novel Chapter 644 believed that if she could see in the dark, there might be more hope for her to regain her sight. But she was wrong. She was disappointed in the end. Restoring a person's sight wasn't that easy. Failure after failure left her feeling hopeless. During the day, she tried harder to adapt to the darkness. She thought that even if she couldn't see for the rest of her life, she wanted to be an agile blind person so her family wouldn't worry about her too much. Yet nobody knew… With each mistake she made in the darkness, there was a collision of despair deep within her heart beneath her seemingly calm exterior. Nobody knew how much it hurt every time she heard Heather's concern in her voice over the phone, which eventually turned into hatred towards Cedric and Irwin. Cedric shouldn't have appeared in her life! And Irwin's plotting against Cedric, leading to Isabella's appearance, ultimately plunged her into endless despair. "Nat, would it be alright if I came to Yuloria to see you?" Heather's voice was full of heartache and concern. After Natalie had gotten back into contact with her family, Heather expressed her desire to come to Yuloria to care for Natalie more than once. But each time, Natalie refused. Now, it was the same. "I'd rather you take care of Luna for me, Mom." Luna! She was truly what Natalie had risked her life for. Heather felt choked when she heard Luna's name, and involuntarily remembered how much Natalie had suffered when she gave birth to Luna. "Wel… okay!" She knew how important Luna was to Natalie. Since Natalie went completely blind, Heather had been even more dedicated to caring for Luna. "Nat, actually, Cedric he…" "Mom." Natalie cut off Heather's words, her tone heavy. Heather often mentioned Cedric during her calls, but Natalie always interrupted her. Obviously, Cedric was like a taboo in her life, even when mentioned by her own mother. Heather couldn't help but notice the change in Natalie's tone. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." "Okay, take care of yourself." "Got it." Natalie hastily hung up, afraid that Heather would sense her current mood. After hanging up, she sat in the darkness, her face growing colder by the moment. When Clyde called the last time, he mentioned Cedric visiting Simeria, and the entire family was on guard against him. They didn't give him the slightest chance to take Luna. Just hearing about Cedric going to see Luna made Natalie's heart turn cold. What right did that man have to see Luna? - At dinner time, Irwin returned. Since his visit to Edward, regardless of how busy he was, he almost always sat beside her during meals, as if their hope was running out of time. In reality, the results were already out! But he persisted in waiting until the end. "Miss, it's time for your medicine." Lydia brought the medicine to Natalie. Natalie drained the bowl in one gulp, not waiting for Irwin to say anything. She even swallowed the last bit of sugar along with the medicine, causing the bowl to clatter heavily on the table. The sound struck heavily at Irwin's heart. "I won't be eating dinner," she declared. Every time she took such a large dose of medicine, Natalie couldn't eat anything afterward. Irwin always insisted she eat. Tonight, however, he didn't press her. Lydia carefully escorted Natalie to take a bath. After helping Natalie onto the bed, Lydia hesitantly said, "Miss, maybe we should…" She couldn't finish her sentence. During this time, Lydia and Xyla had been by Natalie's side, knowing full well that the medicine did nothing for her. And every time, the medicine was so bitter! Natalie seemed accustomed to it, but they knew she endured that bitterness alone. She knew it was novelbin futile, so why not arrange surgery instead of enduring such suffering? That bitterness was not ordinary! Both Lydia and Xyla had tasted it. So, every time Natalie acted like she was used to it, they felt even more heartbroken. "Let's go back! Sir and Madam surely have a solution," Lydia said, genuinely feeling her heart clench painfully for Natalie. It was evident even to those around her how meaningless this persistence was. "There's four days left, right?" Natalie finally said. "Miss!" Lydia's tone grew tense. "It's just a few days left anyway. Let's endure a bit longer," Natalie said in a calm and light tone. Lydia and Xyla couldn't even endure a mouthful of that bitterness. Yet Natalie had endured it for three months…!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 645-As the final days approached, it became increasingly agonizing for Irwin.
Natalie could almost feel how suffocated Irwin was. It was a testament to the torment he endured.
Yet, in the face of Irwin's torment, Natalie remained silent.
"Do you feel anything?" Irwin's emotions were barely concealed in his words.
"No," Natalie replied, her response unchanged.
It was unclear how many times Irwin had asked this question during this time, just as Natalie didn't know how many times she had replied with the same answer.
As she finished speaking, Natalie keenly sensed the urgency emanating from the man.
Such urgency was unlike any other time…!
It was as if he's enduring something…!
They were too complicated!
Natalie naturally didn't know why Irwin was feeling this way.
After breakfast, Irwin made a phone call from his study. It was an hour-long conversation whose recipient remained unknown.
When he emerged, the gravity in his demeanor was obvious.
"I'm taking you somewhere," Irwin said after taking a deep breath.
"Where to?" Natalie's response was calm compared to the depth in Irwin's tone.
"The city hall," Irwin replied.
Natalie fell silent.
Lydia and Xyla exchanged nervous glances before turning their attention back to Natalie. She sat in her wheelchair, and her hands unconsciously clenched. novelbin In the end, she chuckled.
Her laughter dripped with irony.
"I know you're worried about me using your father. Don't worry, I won't use anyone this time," Irwin assured.
"Is that so?" Natalie's question dripped with sarcasm, amplifying the discomfort already festering within Irwin.
Doubt.
Yes, that's what it was—the unmistakable aura of doubt.
Natalie exuded an aura of distrust towards both him and Cedric, which was evident in her tone and demeanor.
Perhaps Cedric also saw it.
Even though he forcefully stayed by her side, all he received was this bitter taste.
And they… had brought this upon themselves!
They deserved it!
In the car, Natalie offered no resistance. She was cold—dangerously so!
"Are you really going to marry me?" Natalie asked calmly.
Yet beneath her calm demeanor, a storm brewed. It was evident to anyone listening.
"Of course," Irwin replied firmly, his words resolute.
Natalie fell silent for a moment. Just when Irwin thought she wouldn't say anything more, Natalie spoke again.
"Hopefully, you won't regret it."
Irwin paused, sensing the tumultuous emotions swirling within her at those words. However, he didn't deserve the concept of 'regret' in his world, especially when it came to Natalie.
Initially, Irwin thought it would take some effort to persuade Natalie to marry him. He hadn't expected her to offer no resistance at all.
Inside the city hall, numerous couples preparing for marriage glanced at Irwin and Natalie. They were captivated by Irwin's striking appearance.
Yet when they saw Natalie with her empty eyes as she sat in her wheelchair, they cast envious glances her way.
"He's such a good man. He's willing to marry a blind woman. She's so lucky!"
"Do you envy her?" The man beside her sounded displeased.
The woman replied, "Of course, I wish I were her. Look at how handsome he is!"
"Shut up!" the man snapped.
Natalie listened to these envious comments, a smile playing on her lips. Only Irwin understood the true meaning behind that smile.
Though the process was complex, it was swift.
When it came time to sign the documents, Irwin signed for Natalie—a practice unheard of, but the officials said nothing.
They recognized the rarity of a distinguished man marrying a blind woman. Since that was the case, they naturally deserved the happiness of marriage.
After exiting the city hall, Irwin handed their marriage certificate to Dylan.
"Go ahead," Irwin's tone was profound, and Dylan understood his unspoken message.
Thnunh there were still three da/s left Irwin accented that Natalie's chances of recoven/with Edward's treatment were likely nonexistent.
They were soon returning to Simeria, and any obstacles in their path needed to be cleared before they departed.
"Nat, here's to a happy marriage to us," Irwin leaned in close to whisper in Natalie's ear, his tone tinged with bitterness.
He didn't expect Natalie to respond.
Yet, to his surprise, Natalie broke her silence and said, "Happy marriage!"
Those words were profound and piercing, and Irwin sensed the sharpness in her response.
His heartstrings tightened with each passing moment. Ultimately, he swallowed down the bitterness that lingered in his chest with determination.
Whatever lay ahead, he resolved to endure it all.
No one knew what storms Natalie would stir between Irwin and Cedric in the future, but her regaining sight was an inevitable necessity.
Regardless of what she would do once her sight returned, both Irwin and Cedric were determined to let her see the world!
Although Irwin had come to terms with the fact that Edward's treatment wouldn't work and had obtained the marriage certificate, he persisted in his duties. Natalie continued to take the medicine at noon and night. She didn't refuse and drank it down calmly each time. There was an endless torment in Irwin's heart as he watched her. He almost wished she would show emotions towards him, even if it was just anger. Yet she didn't! Regardless of the circumstances, Natalie remained composed, which only made Irwin more uneasy. - In Simeria, the news spread like wildfire. Irwin and Natalie's marriage certificate was plastered everywhere. Upon seeing it, Heather and Stephen exchanged glances. "It seems that there really is no chance for her to recover with Mr. Larkin's treatment," Heather remarked in a bitter tone. Stephen furrowed his brow and remained silent. Undoubtedly, it was true. Heather harbored genuine resentment towards Cedric. Even so, hearing about Irwin and Natalie's marriage made her uneasy after knowing about Cedric's sacrifice for Natalie's sake. "If Nat were to find out, how do you think she'd react?" Heather looked at Stephen, her concern evident. Stephen's frown deepened further at Heather's question. How would she react? He sighed and remained silent. Some things were better left unsaid.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 646-Stephen and Heather were Natalie's parents. They knew just how much Natalie resented Cedric and Irwin.
Yet nobody anticipated that Cedric would make such a choice at Natalie's most crucial moment.
Natalie, however, remained oblivious to it all!
She was still in Yuloria, unaware of what would happen if Edward's medicine proved ineffective.
She had no idea what scene awaited her next!
At this moment, everyone's hearts were tightening.
"Don't let Nat find out!" Heather thought for a moment before telling Stephen.
"You…"
Stephen started to speak, but Heather interrupted firmly, "This is what Cedric owes Nat! Whatever the consequences, he should bear them."
Indeed, this was what Cedric owed Natalie. No matter the hardship, it was his burden to bear.
Though Heather spoke these words, her eyes betrayed a complexity and pain that was difficult to decipher.
Honestly, the emotions between Natalie and Cedric…
Despite witnessing Natalie being utterly devastated by Cedric, seeing Cedric willingly descend into darkness for her sake left everyone around Natalie feeling bitter. - On the other hand, Bianca had also seen the relevant reports. Seeing Natalie and Irwin's marriage certificate, she concluded almost confidently that Natalie was about to undergo surgery.
When Zane came in, he saw Bianca sigh and put down her phone.
Approaching her, he asked in a deep tone, "What's happened?"
Seeing Zane return, Bianca gently touched the adorable kitten in her arms and said, "Nat and Irwin got married."
As she spoke, she subtly scanned the man's face, which remained indifferent.
After a while, Zane frowned and said, "This might be for the best for her. It'll reduce a lot of trouble when she returns to Simeria."
Bianca remained calm on the surface, but her heart stirred slightly.
"You shouldn't have come back," Zane said, his tone growing even deeper as he sat across from her.
Bianca felt a suffocating sensation at his words. In that instant, she smiled impeccably and replied, "You forget that we're partners in this."
"You're well aware that you can't do anything in such a critical situation. Why involve yourself unnecessarily?"
At this point, getting involved would only stoke Malcolm's fiery wrath.
Bianca knew this well. But she couldn't afford to think about that now.
Malcolm couldn't ascend to be head of the Entes family!
Absolutely not!
With determination in her heart and a sharp glint in her eyes, Bianca asked, "Where is Frederick now?"
Indeed!
She had returned because she had received news about Frederick.
Previously, everyone assumed that Frederick was in Cedric's hands. But for some reason, there was now another rumor that Frederick was in Malcolm's hands!
This person was once so familiar to Bianca, and he had now become a mysterious and crucial figure!
No matter what, Bianca absolutely couldn't allow Malcolm to ascend to that position because of Frederick's actions.
Zane's frown deepened, and he replied, "We can't be sure right now."
"We have to confirm it," Bianca heard uncertainty in the man's voice, and her already tensed heart tightened further.
Although Frederick may not be as critical as the Entes family's seal at the moment, he was undoubtedly a key figure.
In such a situation, there couldn't be any mistakes.
Zane looked at her. His deep gaze carried a sharp penetrative force as if he wanted to see through Bianca.
Under such a penetrating gaze, Bianca felt uncomfortable.
As she was about to say something, Zane's phone vibrated.
He answered, "Hello."
Bianca didn't know what the person on the other end of the line said, but Zane's expression changed instantly. His long coat accentuated his towering figure as he stood up, and the aura he exuded made Bianca feel uneasy.
"Alright, I understand," he said to the caller before ending the call. His gaze toward Bianca grew even deeper. "I need to go out for a bit."
"You don't need to explain anything to me," Bianca said, feeling Zane's actions to be somewhat odd.
In fact, Zane had been very busy lately. He didn't need to explain anything to her, no matter where he went.
Zane nodded with a furrowed brow. As he turned around, he seemed to remember something.
He looked at Bianca and said, "Don't try to test him!"
It was as if Zane saw through Bianca's intentions.
When Robert was still around, Zane was always at Entes Manor, while Bianca kept Malcolm hanging by a thread.
But now things were different!
Now was a crucial time for the Entes family.
If Bianca continued her old ways, she would undoubtedly cross Malcolm's bottom line, especially after what happened with Faye and Jade's unfortunate fate.
Malcolm placed all the blame for those incidents on Bianca.
"I know exactly what I'm doing!" Bianca retorted.
Zane's brow furrowed even more at her response. As he turned to leave, his voice echoed from a distance, "Bianca, don't force me to make you leave Simeria."
Every word he uttered carried danger and sternness.
When Bianca returned from Yuloria, Zane seemed somewhat displeased when he saw her. Despite their long-term cooperation, this was the first time he had used such a stern tone with her.
What was the reason behind it? Was it because he was worried about her? Or perhaps he believed that their relationship had surpassed their original contract?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, so did Zane's reaction when Natalie and Irwin's marriage was mentioned.
"Meow!"
Bianca's thoughts were interrupted by the meowing of the kitten in her arms, and a bitter smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
She rubbed the kitten's head. "You're such a delicate little thing."
It turned out she had inadvertently squeezed the little creature too hard while lost in thought. Luckily, it didn't bite her!
In Wexford, Cedric also saw the relevant reports. In truth, he already knew. Despite having made up his mind, his heart still felt a sharp pang when he saw the news of Irwin and Natalie's marriage certificate.
Kyle entered the room, looking somewhat serious as he glanced at Cedric. These days, there was a pervasive atmosphere of tension around Cedric.
"Are we all set?" Cedric asked indifferently.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 647-Kyle nodded.
His eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he continued looking at Cedric!
At this point, it was clear that even those close to Cedric couldn't understand. Once, whether it was him or Lucas, they both felt that Isabella was the most important presence in Cedric's world!
But…!
Even though Cedric had watched how devastated Isabella was when she went blind, he never entertained the idea of sacrificing his own eyes for her.
At that time, even though he told Natalie to give Isabella her eyes…!
Even then, they could tell Cedric was just saying those things out of anger.
He never thought about taking Natalie to the operating room.
During that time, no one knew how much had happened!
In such chaos, no one could see through Cedric.
Especially when he personally sent Natalie to prison, they… almost confirmed Isabella's importance in Cedric's heart.
But they didn't know what kind of emotions were attached to that importance!
But at this moment, Kyle and Lucas understood what Natalie's existence really meant to Cedric.
Even during Cedric's time in Yuloria, Natalie remained calm and collected. She was never as desperate as Isabella.
It was then that Cedric silently made up his mind!
If Edward's treatment didn't restore Natalie's sight, he would…!
At that moment, he had already made up his mind and decision for the surgery.
"She…" Kyle thought momentarily, wanting to say something, but nothing came out when he tried to speak!
Just as he nervously considered what to say, someone called out from outside, "Your Excellency, Miss Kayla is here."
Kyle remained silent. Upon hearing Kayla's name, his heart clenched even tighter.
If one were to talk about how many unpleasant things had happened between Cedric and Natalie…
There was that day in the hospital when Natalie had gone hysterical. When Cedric had been injured on the same day, it was clear to everyone just how much hurt there was between them.
And then, there was Blair's existence…!
However, none of those incidents could compare to the connection between Kayla and Luna.
"Let her in." Cedric pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
Kyle nodded with a grave look on his face.
Kayla didn't take long to enter after Kyle left.
Because of Cedric's attitude towards her, everyone around Cedric treated Kayla exceptionally well.
At this moment, Cedric remembered…!
At Scarlet Villa, whether it was their previous life or this one, he had treated Natalie and Isabella differently. Because of the difference in his attitude towards them, even the servants had dared to snub Natalie.
When Cedric recalled these things, his heart… tightened painfully!
There was no one else he could blame for how things were between him and Natalie now!
There was a flicker of intense pain in his eyes.
Kayla obediently stepped forward. "Daddy."
"Yeah."
Kayla's tender voice brought him back to reality/ Upon seeing this little face, Cedric's entire demeanor softened slightly.
Very indulgently, he took her little hand and stroked her small face.
Despite the careful care of those around him, Kayla's face was always very pale. It was likely due to the severe illness she had previously.
"Mr. Lucas said you'll be away on a business trip for a long time this time before coming back."
"Yeah."
"I'll miss you."
Cedric fell silent.
As he listened to the child's expression of affection, Cedric felt an indescribable tenderness in his heart.
He patted the back of Kayla's hand. He said with a hint of bitterness, "You have to be good, okay?""
"Daddy, are you going to find Mommy?"
Cedric fell silent again.
Daddy… Mommy!
Thinking of the existence of these two roles in Kayla's heart, Cedric felt even worse.
He was Kayla's father!
And in Kayla's heart, Natalie was her mother.
If it weren't for the incident with Luna… could Natalie have accepted this child?
Was it possible?!
Those were Cedric's thoughts.
Unfortunately…!
No, it wouldn't have happened.
There were the grievances of their previous and current life, coupled with her knowledge of Blair's existence, to consider.
With that, it was even more impossible for Natalie to accept Kayla.
"Kayla." Cedric took a deep breath as he suppressed the suffocating feeling in his heart.
Kayla looked at Cedric blankly. "Yes, Daddy?"
"Forget about Mommy, okay?"
Kayla fell silent.
Cedric watched as something in Kayla's eyes instantly shattered.
He had ruthlessly shoved away the heartbreak he felt just moments ago, but now it came back with a vengeance. It choked him, and his head hurt so much it felt like it was about to explode.
"Forget her, okay?"
She was not Kayla's mother!
She would never be.
Cedric could see the child's longing for maternal love. Precisely because of this, he felt even more heartbroken.
"Mommy doesn't want me, does she?" Kayla's emotions were somewhat out of control, and tears instantly filled her eyes.
Cedric knew that from birth until now, Kayla never had any memories of Isabella.
It was all part of Irwin's schemes.
Kayla had always been told that Natalie was her mother.
If one were to say who Irwin was most ruthless to, it was probably this child, right?
However, Cedric also knew that Irwin had never seen Kayla.
If he had seen this child, he probably…!
No. Based on what happened back then, Irwin was capable of anything!
In the end, it was Cedric who disappointed Irwin.
"Forget her, okay?"
At this moment, it seemed there was no other way but to have Kayla forget Natalie.
They shouldn't wait for her anymore.
Natalie would never turn around.
So, this was what it felt like to wait in vain.
Once… Natalie had waited in despair because of his entanglement with Isabella.
Now, Cedric was waiting with the same emotions.
Once…!
Had she also gradually fallen into despair as she waited for him?
That was probably the case.
Back then, how did she endure it?
This so-called torment…
Cedric understood it clearly now.
His heart… felt like it was continuously being torn apart. The pain was unbearable!
And similarly enduring the torment was Kayla, who stood by his side.
Her longing for motherly affection was so intense that in her heart, she had always regarded Natalie as her birth mother.
However, Cedric knew she… was just like him.
Their waiting would only be in vain.
Although presenting such truth to the child seemed cruel, Cedric believed that waiting in vain forever in this lifetime was even more cruel.
If there had to be pain, then she should experience it now.
After experiencing the pain, she would… learn to let go!
But what about him? Could he really let go?
"Daddy, sob, sob…"
After all, Kayla was a child.
Upon hearing Cedric's firm tone, it seemed that she realized something.
Then, she was unable to control her emotions and burst into tears.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 648-Did it hurt?
It hurt a lot…!
So, placing someone would never return in the deepest and most important place in one's heart felt like this.
Cedric had once occupied the most important place in Natalie's heart, but such a position also ended in tragedy for Natalie.
Once, Natalie had waited for him, regardless of anything that happened.
Cedric had taken it for granted!
Once, he had been so arrogant!
After enduring Natalie's indifference, he felt the despair…!
"Shh. Stop crying, okay?"
"I want Mommy." Kayla looked at Cedric as she cried pitifully. Tears streamed down her face.
Cedric closed his eyes to cover up the bitterness and pain in them!
He… also missed her!
Since leaving Yuloria, he had been thinking about her all the time. - In Wexford, everything that needed to be dealt with has been almost sorted out.
Three months' time was enough for many things to happen.
And what happened shocked the entire Wexford and the Entes family. Stephen was the only one who remained calm as he knew the truth.
Others thought Cedric had gone mad.
Cedric went to Simeria once again!
Although Heather still didn't give him a pleasant look this time, her attitude and aura were noticeably softer.
"Luna is upstairs." She said in a flat tone.
But compared to last time, when she didn't want him to see the child, the situation was obviously much better.
"Thank you," Cedric said.
Heather fell silent and felt depressed!
When Heather saw Cedric appear here again, she knew very well in her heart that this might De Cedric's last visit to see Luna.
Yes.
The last time.
There were only a few days left before Natalie left Yuloria!
During these few days, everyone's hearts are undoubtedly tense!
At this point, what did Edward really mean to Natalie?
They are all very clear about it, but at this moment, it seemed like no one was willing to give up.
They were all persistently waiting!
Even in the last few days, they were still waiting.
Heather also knew very well that if these few days passed and the result remained unchanged…!
Then, this would really be Cedric's last time seeing Luna.
As Cedric reached the staircase, Heather finally said, "Don't think that by doing this, she will forgive you."
"Cedric, you've done too much harm to her! This is your retribution! Even if you do this, no one will think you're even."
Every word Heather said sounded tense.
And when Cedric heard such words, the pain that was already gnawing at his heart became even more suffocating.
"I know."
He… never thought of wiping the slate clean with Natalie this way.
Taking a deep breath, he continued without waiting for Heather to speak, "This is what I owe her!"
Heather fell silent.
What he owed to Natalie?!
What a rare sight!
But thinking about it, it was true that Cedric owed Natalie. He and Irwin had approached Natalie with ulterior motives.
This was something that could never be forgiven.
Upstairs, Luna was playing with Barbie dolls. The doll looked very pretty. Upon closer inspection, Luna's doll was dressed somewhat similarly to Natalie.
"You have to sleep well, or you'll end up short like Mommy," Luna murmured, imitating adults as she played with the dolls.
Cedric could see that Luna had been raised very well in the Jarvis family. Her grandparents were the best teachers, and she had a good uncle. Her mother was also good!
But he… had done so much wrong in Natalie's life.
In the end, he wasn't even a good father.
When he thought about it, there was a suffocating feeling in his chest. There was also unbearable pain in his heart.
"Lara? Lara!"
When Luna saw Cedric, she instantly panicked and shielded her Barbie doll behind her.
Clearly, that Barbie doll was very important to her.
Yes!
It resembled Natalie somewhat. It was because she couldn't see Natalie, so the doll had become a kind of solace.
Even a child knew how to protect the most important thing to them.
But what about him?!
Cedric's heart was in unbearable pain when he saw how guarded Lun was against him.
Lara was the servant responsible for caring for Luna. She hurried over when she heard Luna's cries.
"Miss Luna."
"Bad… bad man!"
Lara was also startled when she saw Cedric! But since he appeared here without any ruckus, Stephen and Heather must have allowed it.
It had been three months.
Most people in Lotus Villa also knew that Cedric was Luna's father!
But those who didn't know the truth believed that Stephen and Heather were wrong in this matter.
How could they let a man who had hurt Luna so much see her?
Since the child of the woman outside was so important, then let him go and live with that child!
"Be good, Miss. Don't be afraid. Don't be scared." Lara held the child in her arms as she looked at Cedric vigilantly.
And Cedric, looking at how guarded people are against him here, felt even more suffocated.
No one knew what he was feeling right now!
His daughter…!
Nothing was more despairing than having your closest blood-related family member treat you like an enemy.
Cedric now fully felt what it was like with Luna.
He wanted to approach and hug her.
However, his legs felt as heavy as lead now, especially when he saw the vigilance in her eyes toward him.
Did he even have the right to approach?
"Luna…" He gently called out her name, but it only made the child more nervous.
The last time, he told her…
That he wasn't a bad person!
Perhaps Luna had forgotten?
The only thing she remembered was the harm he caused her during those days in the hospital…!
He was her father!
Yet his actions had instilled such fear in the child.
"Mr. Johnson, perhaps it's better if you leave. Miss Luna has just gotten a little better," Lara said nervously.
She was heartbroken at the way Luna was behaving right now.
"What's wrong with her?" Cedric asked.
Hearing that Luna had just gotten a little better, Cedric's already tense heart tensed up even further.
The suffocating feeling in his chest also intensified.
Lara hesitantly replied, "During the first few days after Miss Luna returned, she was always fearful. She even wakes up from nightmares at night."
Every word Lara said seemed to make Cedric recall something dreadful, and his heart tightened.
And when Cedric heard the words 'nightmares', the pain in his heart became even more intense.
He… had actually become a nightmare-like presence in his daughter's heart!
He…!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 649- How could this happen?
Why did things turn out like this?
Nobody knew what Cedric was feeling right now.
The despair he felt now… was the same as when he thought about how Natalie would never turn around, no matter how long he waited.
Yes!
It was an even deeper despair than that.
Cedric looked at the child silently, his eyes filled with pain.
"You should leave. Miss Luna is much better as long as she doesn't see you," Lara repeated.
People were like this!
No matter who it was, one couldn't directly confront their nightmares.
It was the same for Luna.
No matter what mental preparation Cedric made before coming, when he truly faced this moment…
He… was truly hurt!
He was even confused… because he didn't know what to do with his own child.
It wasn't just confusion.
It was sheer pain.
He felt this pain vividly now.
Finally, he turned around!
At that moment, he clearly heard Lara comforting the child in her arms.
"There, there. Everything's fine now, Miss Luna."
Luna couldn't hold back her emotions and started crying. "Sob, sob…!"
When he heard the child's emotional breakdown, Cedric felt even more bitter.
He had scared the child!
He just wanted to see her. He just wanted to be by her side, hold her, and help her when needed.
But because of what happened in the past, Luna was frightened and cried when she saw him.
Was there a father in this world who failed worse than him?
Clearly, there wasn't!
Stephen was waiting for him at the end of the corridor. He was dressed in a neat suit and had obviously rushed back upon hearing of Cedric's arrival!
Seeing Cedric looking so bitter and hurt, Stephen furrows his brow.
"Is Luna still afraid of you?"
Cedric was silent.
Luna… was afraid of him!
This reminder painfully stabbed at his heart.
Once…!
Cedric probably never thought he would experience such a miserable and painful moment in his life, right?
However, this misery was actually brought by his own daughter.
"It's my own fault!"
Cedric's words were filled with an even deeper pain now.
Stephen fell silent.
His own fault?
That… was true!
But in this matter, Luna couldn't be blamed. If it weren't for that incident, Luna would have had a very positive image of a father in her heart!
"In her eyes, you're a bastard who doesn't love her mom," Stephen thought momentarily and decided to tell Cedric what he learned from Luna the other day.
Cedric already felt like his heart was being torn into two before this. When he heard Stephen's words, he felt like hands had reached his chest and squeezed his heart tightly!
It was stifling and painful!
"So, in her eyes, I'm a bastard like that."
He wasn't just a bad person, but a bastard who didn't love her mom.
However, Luna…
How could she know…?
She knew nothing.
She didn't know that her father loved her mother dearly. It was just that the Cedric of the past never learned how to love someone properly.
He never knew how to love someone well, so he lost that love and lost himself.
"Are you sure about this?" Stephen asked, changing the subject.
Cedric was silent.
Was he sure?
He had decided long ago.
"I've taken care of everything in Wexford."
He didn't directly answer Stephen's question, but that was his answer. Wexford had been taken care of.
Since everything had been taken care of, what he was doing now at the end was clear.
"She's probably coming back to Simeria soon." Stephen thought for a moment before speaking.
Also, she… she was married to Irwin!
He didn't say this, but he thought Cedric probably already knew, right?
Yes!
Cedric already knew. It was because he knew that his heart was even more bitter.
"I'll wait for her," Cedric replied after a moment's thought.
Stephen was silent.
He would wait for her?
Obviously, Stephen knew what this meant.
This time, Cedric was waiting for her… to see her one last time.
After that… he would be waiting in the darkness for a lifetime!
"In fact, there's also…"
"This is what I owe her," Cedric said, interrupting Stephen's words.
He knew what Stephen wanted to say. He had thought about it!
Ultimately, why didn't he want to?
Because he didn't want her eyes to hold someone else's light…!
Stephen sighed, not knowing what to say.
Once a person realized their mistake, they were afraid of repenting.
Once they repented… they would have to face even more pain.
Cedric was clearly experiencing that now.
He had repented, so now all of this was on him. - Bianca knew Cedric had come to Simeria. In the afternoon, she saw Cedric in the cafe.
In regards to Natalie and Cedric's relationship, Bianca was undoubtedly a witness to it!!
"Do you regret it?" Bianca set down her coffee cup and looked at Cedric across from her.
Cedric was silent.
Regret?! novelbin What was she asking?
Was she asking about Isabella?
Yes!
In Bianca's eyes, the most detestable thing was the entanglement between him and Isabella.
Bianca was a divorce lawyer. Over the years, she had faced many couples separating for this reason.
Naturally, the existence of a third party was the most abhorrent thing in her world.
And now, she asked Cedric if he regretted it or not.
Cedric smiled bitterly. "How many people have you asked this question?"
How many people had she asked?
Bianca fell silent.
In her mind, she instantly thought of Faye.
Years ago, the lawsuit almost caused a sensation in Verde City.
If it weren't for her assistant's quick response in quickly suppressing the news, Faye's reputation would have plummeted to rock bottom!
After they had managed to get things under control, Bianca coincidentally encountered Faye, who was working as a waitress in a restaurant.
She had asked Faye the same question.
"Do you regret it?"
What was Faye's reaction at the time?
She said, "Bianca, you better never get married in your life. Don't ever experience what a hopeless marriage is like."
"Otherwise, even if I become a ghost… I'll definitely watch how you wander in confusion on the path of marriage. I'll watch how you seek your own comfort in the most pathetic and disgusting way."
When Bianca heard those words, she was shocked!
She had never seen such a self-righteous woman before. That night, she picked up the red wine before her and poured it on Faye's face.
It was also that night that Faye… died in a gruesome way!
"Bianca, you better not fall in love with Zane! Otherwise, you'll always bear the pain he brings you, and…"
And what?
When it came to this, Cedric paused.
The next moment, the man's tone became even more bitter as he continued, "You better be able to see his helplessness in his high position. Otherwise, you'll suffer even more!"
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 650-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 as she looked into Cedric's eyes.
Cedric was silent, but his lips curled into a bitter smile.
Retribution, huh?
Yes, he also felt the same.
"If you were given another chance, would you still keep Isabella by your side?" Bianca asked.
That was the beginning of Natalie's tragedy. Bianca couldn't believe that even now, Cedric showed no sign of remorse for what had happened.
How terrifying was such love?
Even now, when Bianca asked this question…
Cedric opened his eyes. At that moment, they shimmered with endless pain as he looked at Bianca and said, "Yes!"
Bianca fell silent and was overwhelmed by a surge of coldness. She picked up her coffee and threw it directly in Cedric's face.
When she saw the surgical consent form in the study back in Yuloria, she thought this man might have some remorse in his heart.
Now, it seemed laughable to even have entertained such thoughts.
A leopard couldn't change its spots…! - Bianca stormed out and left in anger.
Meanwhile, Cedric sat there in his misery. He didn't move for a long time, lost in thought.
His eyes were filled with bitter pain.
Did he regret it?
Of course, he did!
But having experienced both the last life and this one, Cedric deeply understood that rewriting destiny always came with a price.
Even if one tried to change it forcefully, the price they had to pay might be even heavier than they could imagine!
And having gone through the transition between two lives, Cedric also knew… There would surely be a chance to start over again in this world.
However, he didn't want it.
In their previous life, Natalie endured such pain in the fire. She had spent almost her entire final days in unconsciousness.
But what about then?
The one in pained was him, who remained awake throughout the entire time. She had passed away while still unconscious, as if it were the best liberation for her!
He pleaded desperately at the heavens for a chance, never knowing that rebirth truly existed in this world.
Then, he finally arrived in the other world where she was.
However, inevitabilities couldn't be avoided, such as that raging fire!
Apart from the fire moving from Scarlet Villa to the detention center, Natalie had also endured more pain than before.
Nobody knew how Cedric felt after he saw the burns on Natalie's body.
Nobody knew how he felt after he discovered that she had endured endless suffering to save the child in such a severe condition!
Undoubtedly…!
In this life, what that fire brought Natalie was more pain. It was a heavier price!
That was the price of rewriting destiny. He was afraid!
He was afraid of a heavier price.
Since destiny couldn't be rewritten, he mustn't allow the price to become more severe!
He was in pain.
Was Edward's medical skill really lacking in Yuloria?
No, his medical skill was widely recognized!
It was fate.
It was the price of one's destiny.
And it had affected Natalie.
Three months of suffering in vain, yet surgery was still inevitable!
If someone had to bear the price of starting over, Cedric thought, why not let it be him?
He would endure all of this in exchange for her sight and stability in her future. - In Yuloria, there were three more days.
Meanwhile, Irwin's heart was breaking more as the days passed…!
He was usually composed and self-assured. Now, he was shaken each time he faced Natalie.
Dylan came over.
"Sir."
Irwin remained silent.
Waiting seemed to become his final insistence. Even if it was the last three days, it must be… the last hope time.
Irwin had learned that Blair's death was planned. In fact, she and Irwin's grandfather had planned it a long time ago.
Nobody knew how he felt when he learned the truth.
Irwin had hardly slept these days.
He and Cedric were both schemed against. At this point, he naturally didn't want Cedric to lose his sight and spend the rest of his life in darkness.
During lunch, things were the same as usual…!
Over the past few days, Irwin had been repeating one thing—watching Natalie drink her medicine at every meal. Then, he would check if the bowl was emptied…!
Even if there was only a sip of medicine, it was definitely a ray of hope for them.
Bang!
Natalie placed the empty bowl on the table.
Irwin glanced at it to ensure it was empty!
This moment was different. His heart clenched even tighter as he waited for Natalie's answer.
Natalie indifferently replied, "Nothing."
Irwin was tensed, and he reacted more visibly upon hearing Natalie's words this time. A profound sorrow flashed in his eyes.
Natalie asked, "Do you want me to drink another bowl?"
Irwin fell silent.
Lydia and Xyla silently exchanged glances. Clearly, they could tell that Natalie was growing impatient.
She had already accepted the fact that the medicine truly had no effect on her.
But the one who hadn't accepted it all this time was Irwin.
Yes.
It was Irwin who hadn't accepted it all this time!
"No need for that," Irwin said.
His words only made the atmosphere even more tense.
Since Natalie lost her sight completely, everyone had been struggling.
Irwin clenched his fists. He was almost ready to throw in the towel!
But at this moment, he still felt some reluctance.
They had persisted for so long, but there were still three days left.
Why give up now?
Even though Edward himself had said that Natalie should stop taking the medicine and prepare for surgery, Irwin still frantically held onto hope.
Did he regret it?
Of course…!
Unlike Cedric, Irwin truly regretted it.
If he hadn't stirred up that storm, Natalie wouldn't have been swept into this whirlpool.
In the afternoon, it rained again in Yuloria. It was rare to have sunny days in this place.
At first, Natalie was very uncomfortable and even disliked this kind of weather. novelbin But now, she seemed to have grown accustomed to it.
It was already winter here, and Yuloria was truly cold. It was many times colder than Simeria.
