Chapter 596 Are You Leaving? 

“Nat.” 

Finally, Cedric broke the silence. 

His voice was tense as he looked at Natalie. 

Natalie carefully set down the small bowl she was holding on the dining table. Despite Cedric’s numerous assurances that her eyes would surely get better, Natalie still persevered in adapting to this darkness. 

In her previous life, she had given up hope for life in the end, but things were different this time. 

She had too many important people in this life–parents, a brother, and even a child. 

No matter what, she was determined to live. 

Whether it was Edward’s medical skills or the surgery, success was not guaranteed. 

She didn’t put her hope entirely in anyone. 

So, no matter what was waiting in the future for her, she would strive to adapt to the darkness. 

As for the man by her side…. 

He had never been the pillar to hold up her world. 

He was never someone she could entirely rely on. 

Not in her previous life, and certainly not in this one. 

Natalie was well aware of this fact. 

“Are you leaving?” Her tone was very calm. 

“Nat.” 

“Go ahead,” Natalie said in the same calm tone. 

Cedric was silent, and the suffocating feeling in his ch*st returned. 

Once, in their previous life, Natalie’s discomfort was obvious every time Cedric left for Isabella. 

But now? 

That discomfort had completely disappeared. 

It was impossible for Cedric to feel nothing when Natalie acted this way! 

During this time they were in Yuloria, Cedric’s heart always tightened when he was with

“Nat.” Cedric took a deep breath, calling her name. 

Natalie smiled serenely and said, “I know, it’s about life and death. There’s nothing you can do about it.” 

Natalie was too calm. 

She was too calm about these things. 

Cedric wished that she would kick up a fuss at this moment. He wished she would unleash her anger and demand why he didn’t keep his promise to accompany her on the path to recovery. He hoped she would be furious with him, but she wasn’t. 

Natalie remained calm. 

Why was she so calm? 

It was because he had always been an unreliable presence in her eyes. That was why she could remain so serene now. 

“You can’t help it,” Natalie said with a smile. 

That was just how Cedric was in her eyes. 

It didn’t matter what promises and assurances he had given her just moments ago. 

When it came to the crucial moment, and the person he favored was in trouble, he would think about leaving Natalie without hesitation. 

That was exactly what was happening now. 

Even if he was reluctant to leave Natalie and couldn’t bear to part with her, he was inwardly. struggling. 

And in the end… 

This struggle would end with his desire to leave Natalie. 

That was how Cedric was. 

After a long while, the answer became clear. 

Finally, Cedric said, “I’ll go check, and I’ll be back soon.” 

Natalie didn’t respond, clearly indifferent to his decision. This nonchalant attitude only tightened Cedric’s heart even more. 

He wanted… and even hoped that Natalie would urge him to stay. 

Unfortunately, she didn’t. 

She just sat quietly in her place. 

And now… finally, it had come to this 

She had done it! 

In the face of anything that happened, she remained so calm. 

And the only one left to suffer was Cedric
