Chapter 392 What Should Be Said and What Shouldn’t
The atmosphere on the scene tensed instantly!
“Cly, take the child…”
Just as Clyde was about to step forward with clenched fists, Natalie’s voice stopped him in his
tracks.
When Clyde and Cedric’s eyes met, it felt as if two wild wolves had met. Their gazes were terrifyingly intense.
“Go on,” Natalie said, shooting Clyde a fierce glance when she saw him hesitating.
Eventually, Clyde shot Cedric a resentful look and left. Luna had already been wheeled into a hospital room.
When Kyle parked and entered, he immediately noticed Luna being escorted away by the
doctors.
A fleeting glance at the child sent chills down his spine.
He instinctively scanned the scene, especially noting Clyde’s cold demeanor as he passed. Although Clyde seemed calm, anyone familiar with the man would know the depth of that
chill.
With Clyde gone, Cedric forcefully pressed Natalie against the cold, disinfectant–scented corridor wall, his eyes burning red with anger.
“Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
“Are you trying to blame me for being heartless? Just because the child was crying for her mother and I wouldn’t pick up the phone?!” Natalie retorted sarcastically.
Cedric’s eyes flared even redder with rage.
Before he could speak, Natalie continued, “How many times did you call me for her? Or do you still not understand my stance?”
He should understand by now. He really should!
“Nat, you can’t treat her like this!” Cedric exclaimed.
He had voiced this sentiment more than once, but he was lost on how to convey the reasons behind it without mentioning Isabella’s name.
He knew that it would only set Natalie off further if he did.
“Do you know my daughter had a fever of 39.5?” Natalie shouted, her anger evident.
Cedric’s entire b*dy tensed up instantly upon hearing this.
“Do you want me to neglect my daughter, answer your calls, and listen to you about how! should treat Isabella’s child well?” Natalie’s voice was rising, her frustration evident.
Cedric remained silent.
if I was
“Just like how you treated Isabella back then? As long as she called you, you didn’t care if burning to death in Scarlet Villa. You just had to go to her! That’s the best way to do things, right?!” Natalie continued.
Cedric was silent.
Burning to death?
Natalie’s words shook Cedric to his core.
Last time, she had mentioned the sensation of being burned in a raging fire.
Now, she mentioned being burned to death…?
She…
Was she…?!
“Nat!”
He tried to say something, but Natalie forcefully pushed his hand away and stormed toward the hospital room, unwilling to speak another word to Cedric.
She didn’t care anymore!
Whatever feelings Natalie had about these matters, she seemed to have let go of them at some
point.
Yet, when they resurfaced, the ache in her heart was unbearable.
Did it hurt?
Naturally, it did!
Every scar endured felt like it was healed completely, devoid of sensation until one decides to
uncover it.
Yet, it was only when faced with deeper entanglements that one truly understood the depth of the pain endured.
Cedric stood frozen in place, lost in a whirlwind of emotions.
His mind echoed with the phrases of Natalie being burned alive, and the weight of those words overwhelmed him.
His Nat
Could it be?
Meanwhile, Natalie burnped into Kyle in the elevator.
The way he looked at her seemed like he had been deliberately waiting for her!
“What is it?” Natalie said coldly, seemingly already aware of what Kyle wanted to discuss.
She remembered the resentful glares from Cedric’s people when she had left Peach Garden
earlier.
They saw her as a cruel woman…!
Kayla was just a child. How could Natalie treat her that way?
So, Natalie was sure Kyle was here to question her about her actions.
Kyle’s expression turned solemn. Both remained silent as the elevator ascended, and the tension in the air was thick.
Just as Natalie was about to exit, Kyle finally broke the silence. “Madam, why does the child. resemble His Excellency?”
When Natalie heard those words, she felt a deafening rush in her head. She turned sharply to Kyle, her eyes filled with shock.
How could he see the resemblance between Luna and Cedric after just a glance?
A storm of emotions raged within Natalie as she realized that Cedric’s presence in Simeria posed a significant threat due to Luna’s undeniable resemblance to him.
Who would have thought this problem would arise so quickly, and it was Kyle who had noticed it?!
Natalie took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself.
“Have you ever considered that if His Excellency knew about the child, he might-” Kyle began.
“Act differently?” Natalie cut him off, her breathing becoming more rapid.
Had everyone around Cedric oversimplified matters between them?
Things between her and Cedric were impossible!
She pressed down the tightness in her ch*st and said sternly, “Kyle, since you address him as ‘ His Excellency‘, you must be aware of Cedric’s significance in Wexford. You must also know what Abigail means to him.”
Kyle fell silent.
Abigail Schneider?!
Kyle obviously knew.
Her existence was more terrifying than Isabella’s or Jocelyn’s. It wasn’t as if that person in Wexford didn’t know about Natalie and Cedric.
Even in such circumstances, that person had announced Abigail and Cedric’s engagement!
By doing so, it was obvious Abigail was very important to Cedric.
Given that person’s intense focus on interests, if word got out about Natalie and Cedric’s child, the only conceivable outcome would be unbearable pressure on Natalie and Luna. Even Cedric might face irreversible losses.
Seeing the glint in Kyle’s eyes, Natalie sensed he understood the gravity of the situation.
“Given that you know what this implies, I trust you also understand what should and shouldn’t be said.”
With that, Natalie turned and left.
Kyle watched her retreating figure. There was a sense of loneliness evident in her back as she disappeared from his sight.
Both Cedric and Natalie were trapped in a web that was not of their making, where choices were less about want and more about whether they could bear the consequences.
As the elevator doors closed, Kyle’s face darkened. While Natalie hadn’t directly answered his question, her implications about Luna’s identity were clear.
Natalie had only revealed it because she didn’t want Kyle to let Cedric know about it.
Her clarity in such dire circumstances showed she was no longer the naive housewife confined to a villa, oblivious to the world’s complexities.
