Chapter 587 He Agreed
Cedric led Natalie out. As they left, cold raindrops splashed on their faces.
Natalie asked, “Where are we going?”
“The doctor has agreed to examine you.“!
In these twenty days, despite Natalie’s rejection of this man, he remained by her side. Natalie had no idea about the current situation in Wexford, but she felt it must be in chaos.
Yet, Cedric had not left her side.
In the car, Natalie said, “Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because of this.”
Did she feel touched?
Not at all…!
Even though Cedric had accompanied her through these troubled times in Yuloria, Natalie felt no sense of gratitude.
Her words made the man sitting beside her stiffen for a moment, and then he unabashedly pulled her into his arms.
Then, he said, “I don’t need your forgiveness. I want you to get better.”
Forgiveness?
Given the current situation, Cedric naturally understood that Natalie could never forgive him.
Indeed, she would never.
But so what?
He just wanted her to get better. During this time in the darkness, Cedric felt like he had seen. them from a past life.
Back then, Natalie was just like she is now.
They seemed to have returned to that time!
At that time, he watched how stubborn Natalie was and how she gradually became accustomed to the darkness.
No matter who tried to help her, she refused.
Even with Xyla and Lydia by her side, she refused help from anyone.
During their past life…!
+15 BONUS
She had nothing and no one except for him.
That was why she learned to be independent. She adapted to the darkness and refused to rely
on him.
But in this life….
Even with so many loved ones around her, she was working hard to make herself independent. She… was preparing to face the darkness permanently.
Yet, Cedric knew Natalie didn’t like the darkness. She disliked it even more than in their past life when she had no attachments.
But she wanted to see so many people and things in this life.
So, how could she willingly stay in the darkness?
“Can you let go of me?” Natalie didn’t like such physical contact with men, but Cedric showed no intention of releasing her.
Instead, he tightened his grip around her!
“During this time, can’t we just stay like this?”
Regardless of how much she usually avoided him, Cedric believed they should be together, at least during this time.
“Cedric!”
“I know you hate me,
w you hate me, I know…
He knew.
“But I’ve also said, once your eyes get better, you can settle the score with me however you want!”
Cedric had said these words countless times during this period, and he continued to persist.
Natalie found him exasperating. At times when she was truly angry, she couldn’t be bothered to deal with this man.
However, Cedric was relentless, Also, he was getting more and more intrusive!
When they reached their destination, the first thing Natalie noticed was a faint scent of sugar.
It was a pleasant fragrance, one that she liked.
Cedric said, “Mr. Larkin really likes lotus flowers. His yard is filled with them.”
Lotus flowers?
Natalie actually liked them, but the climate in both Verde City and Simeria wasn’t suitable for
+15 BONUS
However, Yuloria had a good climate.
It was summer, but Natalie seemed to struggle a little, even in such a favorable climate, most likely due to her health.
During the examination, Cedric stepped out to take a call. In the darkness, Natalie could only smell the strong scent of herbs.
After examining Natalie’s eyes, Edward asked in a hoarse voice, “Did you suffer from smoke inhalation?”
Natalie paused at his question and then nodded.
“Yes.”
“You didn’t go completely blind at that time?”
“No.”
“Why didn’t you choose to do surgery back then?”
Haat time also
In those circumstances, surgery would have been a viable option. The doctors at that time emphasized that conservative treatment might lead to a rapid decline in her eyesight.
Natalie replied, “There wasn’t a right moment.”
“Are you from the Jarvis family?”
“Yes,” Natalie’s voice sounded somewhat rigid.
Edward sneered. “It’s not like arranging such a surgery for you would be difficult for them!”
It seemed that this old man was not an ordinary person. At least, he seemed to understand the people from Simeria.
Well, a valuable doctor like him must be well–known among the upper–class elites.
“There are too many people in need,” Natalie said.
Her tone was indifferent, as if she harbored no resentment or regret for her blindness.
The coarse fingertips on her pulse paused for a moment. Then, Edward said with a faint smile, “You’re very fortunate.”
Natalie fell silent.
Fortunate? What did that mean?
Before she could speak, Edward continued, “That kid is lucky to have a daughter like you!”
H
+15 BONUS
“And you’re fortunate to have a husband like that kid outside“.
Husband? Cedric?
When Edward mentioned her relationship with Cedric, Natalie stiffened instantly. Subconsciously, she was about to say something, but Cedric returned at that moment.
Cedric respectfully asked Edward, “How is her condition?
There was a hint of urgency in his tone. Natalie’s complexion wasn’t great.
In her eyes,
him saying “lationship between her and Cedric had long been clear. So, she didn’t like
him saying such things to outsiders.
After all, humans should accept the reality of losing something once it has happened.
Cedric and Edward conversed quietly. Natalie didn’t know what they were talking about. After a long time, Cedric returned with medicine.
Then, he carefully helped Natalie into the car,
“Mr. Larkin said to take the medicine for half a month first and then return for a follow–up
examination.”
At this moment, Natalie also regained her composure. The mention of half a month’s worth of medicine surprised her.
Half a month? What kind of time frame was that?
Over the past two years, Heather had been having her regulate her b*dy. Natalie had taken all sorts of bitter medicine, which made her feel exhausted.
Perhaps it was because her b*dy had been severely injured before. So, no matter what methods. Heather tried, Natalie’s b*dy never seemed to improve.
After all, an empty b*dy was difficult to replenish.
For instance, even though it was summer in Yuloria, Natalie still had to wear a thick coat.
Natalie remembered that despite being small in stature, she excelled in physical education
when she was in school!
This indicated the true condition of her physical health.
