The two locked eyes in a silent confrontation.
Seeing the disappointment in Cedric’s eyes, Natalie’s gaze remained calm and unyielding.
“My child’s father doesn’t love her. You wouldn’t want even me to push her to the edge as her

mother, would you?”
Clearly, her words were directed at Cedric.
As she finished speaking, Cedric visibly trembled.
“I didn’t. I…”
“She didn’t eat anything for three days!” Natalie’s icy interruption cut him off mid–sentence.
Cedric fell silent.
Confronted with Natalie’s calm demeanor and sharp words, he felt as if he were suffocating.
“She’s not even two years old! She doesn’t eat food from strangers. Did you want her to die?!”
Cedric was speechless again!
He wanted to exin, but words failed him.
Natalie was right. That child… was still so young.
How could she have endured those three days without food?!
“You knew she was your daughter, didn’t you?” Natalie continued.
Cedric remained silent.
Yes, he knew.
It was this knowledge that made his actions unforgivable to Natalie.
His favoritism had reached an intolerable extreme.
Nat.”
“Have you ever asked me what form she drinks? Do you know you can’t change a child’s form
without transitioning gradually? Have you asked what she likes to eat?”
No, Cedric never asked any of those things.
To avoid her inquiries, he deliberately let his phone die and avoided the confrontation
t know her form how t
give her nutrient solutions!”
Natalie’s words were calm but cutting. They were like daggers aimed at Cedric’s heart, painfully
piercing through.
It made him clearly realize how Natalie was now….
Looking at Natalie, Cedric tried to say something, but…
Natalie was unaware that during Luna’s time on nutrient solutions, two needles had broken off inside
her. Yet, even under such circumstances, Cedric didn’t relent in his decision for Luna to
undergo surgery for Ka.
“I know you me me and hate me. But Ka…”
“So, because Isabe’s daughter was dying, you decided to risk our daughter’s life?” Natalieughed
bitterly, the irony and calmness coexisting. The pain in her words struck Cedric’s heart like a sharp
de.
“Nat.”
“Cedric, for my daughter, I will stop at nothing!” Natalie’s voice was resolute and fierce.
Cedric fell silent.
A tense silence filled the room.
Once upon a time, regardless of how much Natalie despised him, that hatred was primarily based
on avoiding any interaction with him.
But this time was different.
She was determined to confront him head–on, no matter what.
This incident had pushed their rtionship onto a dangerous path that was suffocating and fraught with
risks.
Cedric stared nkly at Natalie. “Nat…!”
He had originallye here for Ka. However, faced with theposed Natalie, he found himself
tongue–tied.
Natalie could practically read his thoughts, and she couldn’t help but smirk. After all, the first thing
Cedric had told her when he arrived was about Ka’s critical condition.
Now, Cedric was so hesitant to speak.
“I didn’t expect you’d have the audacity toe find me,” she remarked sarcastically

This was the part that made it unthinkable.
How could he be so callous? How could he approach her for Ka’s sake?
Just how cruel was Cedric?
How extreme was his bias toward everything rted to Isabe?!
“Nat, about Ka…” Cedric began, but the pain in his heart hindered his words.
What about Ka?
Cedric had already told her everything previously!
Drawing a deep breath, he locked eyes with Natalie’s icy gaze. “Now that you’re a mother yourself, you
understand a mother’s significance in her child’s life. And in her heart, you’re her mother. Can you not
be so cruel to her?”
Natalie closed her eyes, masking all her emotions
A mother, huh?
That was right!
Because of Irwin’s maniption, Ka… assumed that Natalie was her mother.
“I sympathize with her, but I won’t sacrifice Luna for her. Leave,” Natalie responded when she opened
her eyes, her voice icy and resolute.
Yes
From a mother’s perspective, she did feel pity for Ka. However, she wasn’t willing to be ensnared in
someone else’s schemes, especially considering Ka’s connection to Isabe.
Witnessing Natalie’s determination, Cedric felt a pang of pain. Before he could utter another word, his
phone vibrated–it was a call from the hospital.
Casting a fleeting nce at Natalie, he answered the call.
Natalie couldn’t hear what was said on the other end, but she could tell the person was speaking
urgently.
1. I got it.” Cedric’s voice trembled as he responded to the caller on the other end. After hanging up,
he looked at Natalie.
Nat, just let me-
Before he could finish, Natalie sshed a ss of cold water fiercely onto Cedric’s face, meeting
despairing gaze with a chilling one of her own.

“I don’t know what Isabe did to you, but she seems so crucial to you,” Natalie began, her tone sharp
and deliberate.
Cedric was at a loss for words.
“But, Cedric, don’t expect me to conform to your presumptions. Also, don’t look at me like that!” she
continued in an unwavering tone.
Cedric remained silent.
“We’re no longer connected. It’s been that way for a long time. Whether you’re burdened with despair
or debts, it’s none of my concern!”
Her words flowed cold and heartless, echoing her sentiments.
Indeed, no reasoning could sway Natalie now.
As she had once told Cedric, whatever pain he endured in this life was his own doing. And as for
Isabe, even if she met an end while unconscious, it would be her due retribution.
After all, the retaliation Isabe had directed at Natalie, including the fire at Scarlet Vi, was
undeniably real.
Given these undeniable events,
one couldn’t expect Natalie to be swayed by anythi
“Natalie, Isabe did all this for you-” Cedric began again, trying to reason.
“Wasn’t I clear enough?” Natalie interrupted, her gaze piercing.
The coldness in her eyes left Cedric with a stark realization no matter what he said or did, he couldn’t
change Natalie’s mind.
Though her words seemed light, she didn’t know how much Isabe had suffered in her final
