    Was Irwin really willing to let go of everything for Natalie''s sake?!


    He actually...!


    "You..." Cedric began, but Irwin cut him off.


    "You''ve hurt her enough. She will never forgive you,"


    Not in this lifetime nor the next.


    Irwin had seen this with his own eyes. So, in his opinion, Cedric being here now served no purpose.


    And what about Irwin?


    Ironically, a man who was indifferent and manipted everyone like puppets found himself entangled in


    this situation.


    Upon learning that Natalie might never regain her sight, Irwin''s emotions were in turmoil as he made


    his way back to the hospital.


    His mind was filled with many thoughts. It all boiled down to the rtionship between Natalie and


    Cedric reaching such a point.


    Cedric''s own indecisiveness was one aspect, and Irwin''s schemes... were naturally another.

    If it weren''t for his maniptions, Natalie and Cedric wouldn''t have ended up like this.


    If it weren''t for that disastrous fire at the detention center, this wouldn''t have happened to her.


    And if there hadn''t been that fire, her eyes... would have been fine.


    "Hah... Haha!"


    After a long silence, Cedricughed. He looked at Irwin with a mocking smile.


    "This is what you owe me!" Irwin said.


    Owe him? Yes!


    In the matter with ir, Cedric owed Irwin.


    But even if he owed Irwin, could it be repaid using Natalie?


    Wasn''t Irwin being too naive and presumptuous on this matter?


    "Dream on!"


    At this moment, Cedric understood everything, and he was surprised.


    He was surprised that someone like Irwin, who had been scheming for so many years, would fall in


    love!


    He was even willing to let everything go for Natalie''s sake?!


    Even before this, Cedric had already sensed Irwin''s feelings towards Natalie.


    If Irwin had no feelings toward Naie, he wouldn''t have desperately taken her to Mount Elven when


    she was about to find out about ir.


    From all these signs, it was clear that Irwin was genuinely panicked then.


    And the reason for this panic was... Natalie!


    But what about things between Cedric and Natalie? Should they make way for Irwin''s newfound


    feelings?


    Cedric looked at Irwin and said slowly, "After scheming for so many years, do you still know what is


    real?"


    Real?


    When one schemed against others for so long, they may convince themselves that the schemes they


    had manipted were the reality.


    A chill crept into Irwin''s eyes.


    Cedric continued, "Irwin, matters of the heart are never that easily dictated. Do you understand?"


    "I want your answer!" Irwin said instead.


    Clearly, he didn''t want to hear such words. His stance was already evident, and now he only needed


    one answer.


    "Do you still remember how ir ended up in my care?" Cedric asked.


    "..."


    "Do you even deserve to fall in love?"


    How did ir end up with Cedric?


    Many believed that the rift between Cedric and Irwin was due to ir''s death.


    However, no one knew how ir ended up with Cedric and why she chose to be with him!


    Natalie thought Irwin''s schemes against Cedric started with her. She thought that Cedric and Irwin''s


    rtionship had always been good until ir''s death...!


    That thought was truly naive.


    The photo Natalie had seen made it look as if Cedric and Irwin had a great and pure friendship.


    However, Wexford was a ce that was deeply embroiled in hidden conflicts.


    In such a ce, how could such pure emotions exist between them?
