    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, sess 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 pir 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 chest returned.


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

    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 apany 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.”

    She had done it!


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


    And the only one left to suffer was Cedric
