Chapter 625


    625 Tell the Child I''m Not a Bad Person


    How could Heather forgive Cedric when her daughter was hurt like this?! She even wished Cedric


    would disappear!


    It seemed like Natalie could only find peace once he was gone...!


    Since Natalie returned to their side all these years, all Heather saw was Natalie trying to break free


    from Cedric...!


    But what about him?


    While he was devoted to Isabe, he kept pestering Natalie, even disturbing her peace at times.


    No mother could stand by and watch that.


    Heather was genuinely furious!


    However, there was nothing she could do about Cedric''s behavior.


    In the backyard, Cedric watched the lively figure of his daughter catching butterflies in the distance.


    His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, but his heart... was constantly in turmoil.


    Luna looked so happy here, clearly enjoying herself. The Jarvis family truly cherished her like a


    treasure!


    She looked very small, probably due to being born prematurely.


    "Lara, I caught one!" Luna caught a butterfly and ran happily to a servant.


    Lara smiled, "You''re getting faster, Miss Luna. You even managed to catch a butterfly."


    "I''m great, right?"


    "Yes, very great."


    The praised little girl smiled even brighter.


    "Lara."


    "Yes, Miss?"


    "I want watermelon."


    "Okay, I''ll get it for you."


    Luna was truly adored here. They granted almost every request of hers, but Heather often felt helpless


    because of the girl''s fragile health. She couldn''t have too many cold things but loved ice cream.


    Luna released the butterfly. She loved ying with them but never wanted to hurt them.


    When the watermelon she wanted arrived, it wasn''t Lara who approached her with it.


    When Luna saw Cedric, a hint of wariness shed in her eyes, and she instinctively looked for people


    around her.


    But there was no one else in the ce.


    So, her gaze towards Cedric became more guarded.


    Cedric''s heart ached when he saw how cautious his daughter was around him.


    "Do you want some watermelon?"


    Cedric looked at his wary daughter and forced a smile on his face.


    However, Luna shook her head.


    She didn''t speak or allow him toe near at all.


    "Don''t be afraid. I won''t hurt you."


    He wanted to tell her he was her father!


    But the words stuck in his throat.


    Did he have the right?


    Yes!


    At this moment, Cedric was clear and acknowledged this fact.


    He... had no right.


    As Natalie repeatedly told him, he had no right.


    However, even after saying that, Luna still looked at him suspiciously. She even backed away when he


    approached.


    "Don''t move. I won''te closer," Cedric said helplessly as he watched Luna''s guarded demeanor.


    Finally, he ced the watermelon te on the stone table and took several steps back.


    "Go ahead and eat."


    However, Luna still shook her head. Clearly, her usual education was not to eat from strangers. She


    was even more unwilling to eat it because Cedric was still a bad person in her eyes.


    Cedric felt a strong sense of suffocation in his chest. "How about I y with you?"


    The response was still a shake of Luna''s head! This child held grudges. She didn''t want to approach


    him or talk to him.


    Cedric probably had never felt so miserable in his life. What could be more painful than a child refusing


    toe near you?


    He had now thoroughly experienced.


    Luna continued to watch him warily.


    After a long while, Cedric felt resigned about the situation. He couldn''t bear seeing Luna so frightened,


    so he left.


    Luna watched his lonely figure curiously as he walked away, but she made no move to approach.


    As he reached theer, Cedric suddenly turned back. Luna was previously standing quietly, and she


    shrank back in fear at his action.


    A bitter smile appeared on the man''s lips as he said to Luna, "I''m not a bad person. Remember that."


    His tone was gentle, but Luna remained wary.


    Seeing her silent and cautious demeanor, Cedric felt despair.


    This was his retribution!


    Once, Natalie endured all of this alone.


    Now, it was transferred to him.


    The pain and suffering Natalie had experienced were now gradually corroding his soul.


    After Cedric left, Heather fell silent after hearing what Stephen had to say. It turned out that Stephen


    and Cedric had discussed so much in the study.


    "Live specimens? That''s a little..." Heather finally said after a long while.


    This was also why Natalie had been unwilling to undergo surgery. She was afraid of using something


    from a dead person, but she couldn''t let a living person...!


    So, she preferred to endure her deteriorating eyesight even when she couldn''t see anything clearly.


    Living specimens!


    There were hardly any, and it was simply impossible for anyone to be willing. So many people were


    waiting for donations, but Natalie didn''t allow them to use any means to quicken the process!


    Because of that, she had been dragged into darkness and could not see.


    Now, Cedric said that if Natalie still didn''t respond to Edward''s treatment after three months, he would...


    give her his eyes!


    Yes, that was what he told Stephen.


    It was what he owed Natalie, so he would give her his eyes.


    But the condition was that Natalie must not know. So what Natalie assumed in Yuloria now was that


    Cedric had abandoned her for Wexford.


    But was it really abandonment?


    If one of them was destined to spend the rest of their lives in such misery in the darkness, Cedric


    thought: Let it be him this time!


    In their past life, she perished in the mes while trapped in darkness. If there was no escaping fate in


    this life, let it be him!


    "This is his choice!" Stephen nced at Heather and said.


    That was why Cedric wanted to see Luna just now. He was heading back to Wexford today, and this


    might be thest time he saw the child.


    So Stephen...!


    Heather''s heart was heavy. "Don''t think we''ll forgive him just because of this!"

    She wouldn''t.


    Not ever!


    Stephen sighed. "You..."


    At this moment, he didn''t know what to say to Heather.


    "He''s done so many malicious things to hurt Natalie, so this is the price he should pay. This is his


    retribution," Heather said fiercely.


    It was clear she wouldn''t forgive Cedric at all.


    Stephen sighed again. "Yes, his retribution!"


    But was a lifetime of darkness too heavy a price for one''s evil deeds?


    However, Cedric didn''t hesitate at all.
