Chapter 247 Affection After Death
+15 BONUS
Those terrifying memories made her fear fire, and even more fearful… was fate and the inevitable end of
fate.
She struggled so hard against fate and refused to bow down, but in the end, she couldn’t change the
outcome.
It was so ni
“You’ve disappointed me greatly this time!” Stephen said these words angrily and walked away.
Natalie sat on the bed, stunned.
For a long time, she couldn’t recover from Stephen’s disappointment.
Those words felt like stones ruthlessly smashing into her heart, causing her rationality to retreat
continuously
Not long after, Heather came in carrying soup.
When she saw Heather, there was a suffocating feeling in Natalie’s chest. She opened her mouth to say
something, but nothing came out.
Heather approached and said, “You still have serious injuries on your b*dy, and this kind of mood is not
conducive to recovery.”
“Aunt.” Natalie choked out the words.
She wasn’t living in the Jarvis family’s main residence, Lotus Villa, right now. Instead, she was in Red
Wine Estate.
Winona’s fiance had an accident, and they should blame or even hate Natalie.
Why were they by her side at this moment?
Natalie tried hard to look into Heather’s eyes, hoping to see something, but… she saw nothing.
Heather scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and then placed the spoon on Natalie’s l*ps.
“Drink”
“Aunt?”
Natalie wanted to ask something but didn’t know where to start.
+15 BONUS
From Heather’s tired and sorrowful eyes, she could see that something had really happened to Winona.
If so, how could Stephen and Heather still…?
Before she could figure it out, Heather said, “Nat, some things are not as you see them. Your main focus now is to recover from your injuries.”
“Aunt, Winnie…”
“Don’t mention her!” Before Natalie could finish her sentence, she was angrily interrupted by Heather.
Natalie was startled by the rebuke.
There was a hint of bitterness in Heather’s eyes, then she calmly regained her composure, as if that
outburst had never happened.
Natalie was speechless
In the three months they spent together, Heather had always been gentle. She had never seen such a
malicious look in her eyes.
So, why was that glimpse of malice just now?
Was it directed at her?
It was possible.
Heather should blame her!
After all, Winona’s fiance, Joshua Sharp, had died. If he hadn’t, Winona would be married right now.
But because of Cedric’s revenge on Natalie…
“I’m so sorry!” Natale finally said,
However, Heather did not respond to her apology. She just quietly fed her soup.
The atmosphere between the two became somewhat tense.
Especially the touch of malice in Heather’s eyes just now seemed to push a once gentle woman to the
point where she almost wanted to harm someone!
When she thought of this, a self–deprecating feeling arose in Natalie’s heart.
Even if her aunt were to stab her now, or if the soup she was being fed was really poison, she would
willingly drink it.
+15 BONUS
Her journey of rebirth this time was so terrifying and miserable. She had dragged everyone around her
down and led herself to such a miserable state.
Once the bowl was empty, Heather got up and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she turned
back and looked at Natalie.
“Nat, in the future, you’re the only child we have left in the Jarvis family!”
Natalie was silent.
Only her?!
What did that mean?!
Natalie wanted to ask, but Heather had already stepped out. Her words left Natalie in a state of confusion.
What did being the only child left in the Jarvis family mean?
What happened to Winona?
Had something also happened to her?
Thinking of this possibility, Natalie’s eyes widened, and her face drained of all blood.
On the other side, Cedric finally returned to Verde City with the urn.
Kyle followed Cedric, thinking that after Cedric brought Natalie back to Verde City, he would find a place
to bury her.
However, that didn’t happen!
Cedric directly brought the urn back to Scarlet Villa.
The entire Scarlet Villa was in a state of panic!
After all, accompanying the urn like this made people shudder at the thought.
Rebecca received the news and hurried over. Cedric was having a meal, and Natalie’s urn sat to his right.
Rebecca almost fainted from anger when she saw this.
Are you
crazy?!”
She approached the dining table and raised her hand to knock over that ominous thing.

When Natalie was still alive, it had already been troublesome enough. Now that she was dead… it was. still unsettling!
However, Cedric caught her wrist in a forceful grip.
“She’s dead, and you’re still laying your hand on her like you usually do?”
Cedric looked at Rebecca with cold, sharp eyes.
Such a gaze made Rebecca pause.
Her heart was pounding.
What did he mean by that? Was that a question, or was it a resentful complaint?
Originally, she had the intention of accepting Natali. But who would have thought there would be so many
complications behind this?
Especially now that she was dead.
Facing Cedric’s sharp and icy eyes, Rebecca tried to steady her mind and maintain a calm tone.
“Ced, she’s already dead. Do you want her to haunt you for the rest of your life?”
Enough!
It was really enough.
After so many years, couldn’t he let go even after her death?!
Do they still have to eat and sleep together even after death?
What the hell was this?
If this got out, what would people think?
Cedric gently released Rebecca’s wrist and said, “She was married to me for several years, and you hurt
her for several years. Can’t you let her go now?”
Rebecca was silent.
At his words, her face turned pale!
Cedric was stating it so plainly, mentioning how she had hurt Natalie for years without accusing her
directly.
However, his tone hurt more than any accusations he could have thrown at her.

“Ced, it was because…”
“Enough!” Cedric ruthlessly interrupted Rebecca’s words.
Undoubtedly, Cedric didn’t want to hear anything now.
it was meaningless now.
Rebecca felt her heart ache.
No one knew how much pain she felt as a mother, especially seeing Cedric having a meal with Natalie’s
ashes,
There was definitely no mother in the world who would want to see her son like this.
“I know Natalie was important to you, but she’s already dead. Can’t you let her rest in peace?!”
From being angry, Rebecca now felt nothing but helplessness and heartache when she saw Cedric’s cold
and distant expression
Cedric seemed as if he hadn’t heard Rebecca’s words at all. He indifferently placed Natalie’s ashes on his
left side.
His careful actions showed that he was putting all his efforts into protecting her.
Rebecca’s heart felt a chill as she watched his movements.
“People say the dead should rest in peace-”
“She’s afraid of loneliness!” Cedric immediately cut off Rebecca’s words.
Rebecca was speechless, and her already pale face became even whiter.
So, was he going to accompany Natalie in this way?
