Chapter 315


    Chapter 315 I Need Surgery for My Eyes


    Natalie, with her gentle tone on the phone and the smile on her face, was downright infuriating!


    About five minutester, Natalie hung up the phone.


    By this time, Cedric’s restraint had almost reached its limit. He looked at Natalie with bloodshot eyes


    and asked, “Is heing?”


    He practically hissed these words through clenched teeth, to which Natalie replied, “No.”


    “Good!”


    Yet the danger still lingered in the atmosphere.


    Obviously, if Irwin were toe, Cedric wouldn’t allow it. Natalie looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and


    sneered.


    The sharp contrast between her coldness and tenderness made Cedric clench his fists.


    “What did your mother tell you?” Natalie inquired.


    Reba hadn’t appeared for a long while. The fact that she showed up now didn’t seem like a good


    sign to Natalie.


    Cedric responded, “She talked about Isabe’s eyes. She found a reliable doctor.”


    “To restore her sight?”


    “Yeah.”


    “How capable!”


    Natalie had seen Isabe’s eyes. Even with someone as formidable as Isaac by Cedric’s side back


    then, it was already considered a lost cause.


    And now, Reba found a doctor even more skilled than Isaac?


    “And her eyes?” Natalie mocked.


    Those words seemed to be a taboo between them. After all, the subject of Isabe’s eyes was the


    cause of turmoil back then.


    Natalie still remembered waking up on the operating table in her past life. Her eyes had sessfully


    been given to Isabe’s, and she was plunged into endless darkness.


    It was the same in this life!


    To restore Isabe’s vision, Cedric created a fierce conflict with Natalie. It was hard to imagine

    “My mom has already found a donor,” he stated with a somewhat harsh tone.


    Clearly, discussing Isabe’s eyes was something Cedric least wanted to do now. Those eyes


    represented something ominous for both of them, whether it was across lifetimes or in the


    present.


    “Hah!” Natalie sneered.


    She couldn’t help but admire Reba. Truly, if it was something Reba wanted to


    aplish, there was nothing in this world she couldn’t achieve.


    Before Natalie could speak, Cedric said, “Nat, once she regains her sight, there will be no more


    grievances between our family and her.”


    “So those eyes were acquired legally?”


    “It always has been.”


    Hah! Always had been?!


    Natalie gave Cedric a mocking look, and the man nearly couldn’t breathe at the emotions in her eyes.


    They both remembered what had happened vividly.


    Cedric had brought Isabe to Scarlet Vi. Then, he had even announced their engagement.


    Now, he dared to say such words?


    “Nat-”


    “Right now, I feel like I can’t see anything clearly. Everything is fuzzy,” Natalie interrupted. Cedric’s


    words.


    After saying that, she looked at Cedric, who had stiffened.


    Then, she smiled!


    That smile made Cedric uneasy.


    As expected, in the next moment, Natalie continued, “It’s been so inconvenient in the past two years.


    You see how dim the lights here are, right? You can hardly see anything. But if they are a bit brighter,


    they hurt my eyes.”


    “Nat!” Cedric’s tone tightened.


    Natalie said, “Can I have the surgery first?”


    Natalie got straight to the point, speaking very seriously.

    The atmosphere seemed to freeze at her words.


    Natalie looked at the man in front of her. Although things were blurry, she could still clearly see the


    expression on his face.


    Watching the struggle flicker in his eyes, Natalie’s seriousness on her facepletely cracked. In its


    ce was an endless mockery.


    “Haha… Hah..!”

    She covered her mouth as she burst intoughter.


    Even though she had sounded serious, it was nothing more than a joke.


    If her eyes could undergo surgery, she would have done it long ago in these two years.


    Why would she wait for Cedric?


    Even if Reba had found a solution, Natalie wouldn’t use it.


    Natalie stood and looked at Cedric with a bright smile. “Look at how scared you got! I was just teasing


    you.”


    Teasing? Just teasing?


    It was a joke, but Natalie had also seen it as a test!


    She saw his clear hesitation, uncertainty, and struggle in his eyes.


    This was the man who wouldn’t let her go.


    “It’ste. Lydia, arrange a nice room for Mr. Johnson.”


    “Yes, Miss.” Lydia stepped forward with a serious expression.


    Evidently, those around had heard Natalie and Cedric’s conversation just now, and this


    revtion was disappointing.


    When the people around Natalie learned about Cedric, they felt that he wasn’t worthy enough and


    didn’t deserve Natalie.


    Today, his response to Natalie’s question only further enforced that notion.


    They knew Isabe held a significant ce in Cedric’s heart, and now it was even clearer.


    Cedric sat on the sofa. As Natalie passed by him, he grabbed her wrist.


    Natalie asked, “What?”


    “Your eyes—I’m already figuring out a solution for you.”


    He spoke the truth!


    +25 BONUS


    He had been looking into restoring both her skin and eyes!


    Sophia’s arrival earlier indicated that he hadn’t ignored anything. Cedric also had


    ophthalmology experts searching for treatments for Natalie.


    Because it was Natalie, Cedric wanted the most reliable solution for her.


    Natalie’s smile disappeared, and she looked down at the man sitting on the sofa, stiff and cold.


    “Are you nning to let me go through endless waiting like Isabe did previously?”


    Indeed, how long did Isabe wait for a pair of eyes?


    She waited until the time was critical, and Cedric even thought of using Natalie for emergency surgery!


    What had he said to her back then?


    He said to first restore Isabe’s sight since Isabe’s situation was urgent and that he would figure


    something out for Natalie afterward.


    But logically, if a pair of eyes were really that easy toe by, would Isabe’s surgery have required


    taking Natalie’s eyes in the first ce?


    “Nat!” Ce


    “Nat!” Cedric’s tone grew more solemn.


    Natalie pulled her wrist out of his grip. Then, she said, “Cedric, who is more important in your heart, has


    always been clear.”


    Why bother putting on such a show?


    Nothing had changed.


    When Isabelle wasn’t involved, Cedric would say Natalie was the most important.


    However, as soon as Isabe was involved, everything was reversed.


    It made Natalie’s heart ache.


    Natalie went upstairs indifferently. But when she reached the staircase, Cedric suddenly stood up and


    shouted, “I’ll make sure you have the surgery as soon as possible!”


    “No need.” Natalie’s cold words left Cedric frozen to the spot, a chill going up his spine.


    No one knows how he managed to get through these two years.


    Ivan’s kindness hung over him like a curse, and it was something he desperately wanted to shake off!


    Yet, Isabe’s blindness had be an irresolvable responsibility. If she regained her sight, it was


    clear that everything between her and Cedric would end immediately.
