Chapter 389 What She Wants 

Just as they left Hillside Estate and reached the foot of the mountain, the car stopped. 

The driver exclaimed, “Ms. Walker…” 

Ahead, a Phantom obstructed their path, preventing them from reaching the main road. Despite the darkness, Natalie’s blurred vision could discern that the car belonged to Cedric 

A chill ran down her spine. 

With a thud, Cedric emerged from his vehicle and approached her side. The driver recognized him, and an underlying tension filled the air. 

“Ms. Walker, we can turn around and…!” 

“No need,” Natalie said. 

If Cedric had gone to such lengths to corner her here, what more could he be capable of? Before she could react further, Cedric had already opened her car door, his demeanor hinting at an unspoken dominance. 

In the presence of Zane’s driver, Natalie maintained her composure. She calmly exited the vehicle and entered Cedric’s car. 

Then, they drove silently towards Peach Garden. 

Over time, Natalie had noticed that conversing with Cedric invariably sparked anger within her. 

He, in turn, would become uncontrollable, like a raging beast. She discreetly texted Julian to prepare to pick her up from Peach Garden. 

As they neared their destination, Cedric finally broke the silence, “I thought you wouldn’t see 

Caleb again.” 

Natalie smirked coldly. “Oh, did you now?” 

Given his relentless pursuit of Caleb and his attempt to keep him away from her, it was ironic that he should comment now. 

In Cedric’s perspective, Natalie was someone who cared deeply and wouldn’t risk harm to 

others. 

The current circumstances perplexed him. 

She had said she would never see Caleb again, but she actually…! 

What was the logic behind her actions right now 

Did she intend to reveal the truth about her child to Caleb? 

And then what? 

Would she marry Caleb to protect him with Regal Horizons International’s power? 

These thoughts swirled in Cedric’s mind, intensifying his anger. 

“What’s your next move?” he demanded icily. 

She replied calmly, “I thought you didn’t have time for me?” 

Her tone contrasted sharply with his restrained fury. 

When Cedric met her eyes, his gaze was sharp and menacing. 

She met his stare defiantly with a mocking smile on her l*ps. “What, am I wrong?” 

That was right! 

Where would he have the time to care what Natalie did? 

While causing upheaval outside, he played the doting father to Isabella’s daughter at Peach 

Garden. 

“Natalie,” he warned, “Stay away from Caleb.” 

She remained silent. 

His voice dropped lower, “And I suggest Clyde leave Simeria soon, or else…” 

He trailed off, but the tangible danger emanating from him left an ominous feeling in the air. 

After saying that, the man stepped out of his car 

He swung open Natalie’s car door, grabbing her wrist and pulling her out with such force that she nearly stumbled. In the next moment, Cedric swiftly scooped her into his arms. 

“What are you doing?” she exclaimed. 

“I’ve brought you here, haven’t I? What do you think?” he retorted. 

“You…!” 

“How long did you spend with Caleb at the hotel today?” 

“Let go of me!” With a swift motion, Natalie slapped Cedric across the face. 

His expression instantly darkened. 

His gaze upon her became even sharper. 

As he carried her further inside, Cedric whispered, “Since you’ve seen Bianca, you must know 

the predicament she’s in. Pass on a message from me, hmmm?” 

“Tell her not to confront Lord Malcolm head–on. She should abandon her schemes. She’s no match for him.” 

Getting Bianca to abandon her plans? 

Natalie knew that wouldn’t be easy. Bianca’s resentment towards Cedric was deep–rooted. Convincing her on this matter might be a challenge, especially if she knew the warning came from Cedric. 

When Cedric carried Natalie inside, Kayla was still awake. She was seated at the dining table and nibbling on some fruits, her pallor unmistakably pale from a fever. 

Upon seeing Kayla, Natalie’s expression darkened considerably. Sensing Natalie’s changed demeanor, the young girl visibly recoiled in fear 

Cedric looked down at the woman in his arms. 

“Nat,” he said, a hint of exasperation in his voice. 

Honestly, Natalie wasn’t much taller than Kayla. In terms of temperament, she often acted quite childish in Cedric’s eyes. 

Natalie averted her gaze from Kayla and ignored Cedric. There wasn’t anything for her and Cedric to discuss at this moment. 

Cedric wouldn’t ignore Kayla, and how he decided to treat the young girl had nothing to do 

with Natalie. 

Eventually, Cedric brought Natalie to the infirmary. 

Seeing the medical team dressed in white coats, Natalie was stunned. 

“What’s going on?” 

At that moment, alarm bells rang loudly in her mind. 

What else could Cedric’s medical team do to her? 

Other than forcing her to do things against her will, she didn’t expect anything else from. them! 

Didn’t those people from her previous life also do the same? They were all Cedric’s people! 

And after her interaction with them, she could no longer see anything. 

Cedric glanced at her and said, “We’ve found a donor for your eyes. We need to conduct some tests before the surgery.” 

Natalie fell silent. 

Surgery? 

A chill ran up her spine at the term. 

She looked at Cedric, her eyes filled with scorn. 

Cedric reached for her hand and said gently, “Didn’t you mention wanting the surgery as soon as possible last time?” 

At that time, it was a transaction between Rebecca and Isabella. Rebecca was the one who had found a donor for Isabella. 

Back then, Natalie had mentioned it merely to make Cedric realize her feelings. 

But now… Hah! 

“Surgery?” 

“Nat.” 

“What, you have time now?” 

Cedric was silent. 

When he heard her words, a hard lump formed in his throat. 

Her smile was now cold and sinister. “Cedric, do you really think I need you to arrange surgery 

for me?” 

What did she truly desire? 

He had never understood her. 

Now that everything else was taken care of, he finally had time to attend to her?! 

The irony of it all! 

“Nat, you…!” 

“Hmph.” Natalie scoffed and turned away. 

When she turned around, she pursed her l*ps tightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. 

Oh, Cedric. He was seriously so…! 

Were the sins in their previous life still not resolved yet? 

What did he think she wanted? 

During the incident with Isabella, she merely wanted Cedric to realize what place Natalie held in his heart!
