Chapter 670
Natalie wanted to divorce Irwin!
Natalie knew why Irwin had chosen that critical moment to register their marriage in Yuloria.
However, she didn't want to accept Irwin's kindness.
To be exact, everything good about this man was accompanied by schemes, just like Cedric.
That was Natalie's opinion.
When did such thoughts start? It seemed that everything good Irwin did for her carried ulterior motives.
"Staying away from him would be best!"
Clyde smiled when he heard Natalie say she wanted to divorce Irwin the most.
His eyes were full of relief. But at the same time, there was also deep concern.
When Natalie said that, Clyde saw it as her wanting to protect herself.
And it seemed like overprotection.
After everything she had experienced with Cedric and Irwin, she was no longer willing to trust anyone
except her own family.
It was as if anyone's kindness to her might have an ulterior motive!
In fact, Clyde had also pondered this question.
Why would Cedric allow Irwin to stay by Natalie's side once he was gone?
Cedric wouldn't have done it... unless there was absolutely no hope between him and Natalie.
It was as if Cedric expected that Natalie wouldn't open her heart at all to anyone except Irwin. He
predicted that there would no longer be anyone sincere in Natalie's world, and she wouldn't be sincere
to anyone else.
That was what was most frightening.
"Is it lunchtime now?" Natalie asked Clyde.
Fortunately, the surgery was over and successful. If it hadn't been, Clyde didn't know if he could bear it
now.
Previously, whether in Yuloria or Evergreen Peak, Natalie could sense whether it was night or day from
the atmosphere around her.
She could even sense the aura of the lights clearly.
And now...!
During the half month in this hospital, the most she could feel was the smell of disinfectant, which she
didn't like very much because it disturbed her perception of the surroundings.
Plus, she had only been able to eat small portions during this time. All she had all day was soup. So,
she couldn't perceive much from the food either!
"Yes, it's lunch," Clyde replied.
"Can I have something else tonight?" Natalie murmured.
She didn't know how long she had been eating this soup, and there was no taste in her mouth.
She couldn't stand it anymore.
"What you can eat depends on the situation tomorrow. Even if your vision recovers, you still need to
avoid certain foods for a month," Clyde replied.
Natalie fell silent.
She simply didn't want to talk anymore.
Avoid certain foods for a month... what exactly did that mean?
"Do I have to drink soup for another month?"
When a person felt better, there was more expectation for food. Obviously, Natalie now has
expectations.
However, when she heard that she could only eat soup, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Clyde smiled. "Probably light food and not just soup."
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked cute somehow.
Heather has been calling almost every day, and Clyde knew about the situation in Wexford.
But during Natalie's recovery, he didn't mention a word to her about it.
And Natalie didn't ask about Irwin or Cedric either!
As long as they weren't there, she was indifferent. She went about her day as if she didn't know those
people at all.
When Heather called again, she undoubtedly sounded nervous.
Clyde assured her, "Don't worry, she's doing well. The doctor checks her daily when changing the
dressing, and there haven't been any issues so far."
At least for now, the doctor hadn't mentioned any problems.
"Hopefully, there won't be any!"
Heather was truly afraid. Issues with the eyes were usually serious problems, and they really couldn't
afford such big problems right now.
So, everyone hoped fervently that there wouldn't be any issues at all.
"If everything goes well tomorrow, you'll be coming back, right?"
"Most likely, yes."
"That's good. I'll prepare some food for you."
Heather knew they probably hadn't been eating well during the surgery. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Clyde softened a bit at Heather's words.
"Okay."
His tone also sounded gentle.
When Heather heard his gentle tone, she was touched. Her eyes welled up with tears as she hung up
the phone.
Clyde returned to Natalie's side.
"Was that Mom on the phone?"
Clyde looked at her and said, "Yeah. She's preparing food for you."
Natalie fell silent.
Thinking about the meals Heather made, her heart clenched painfully.
"What's wrong?" Clyde asked.
"When I found out she was my aunt, she was really good to me," Natalie said, feeling somewhat
touched.
So, people should remember and accumulate blessings in their life.
Back then, Heather didn't know anything. Yet, she treated Natalie like her own daughter!
Clyde paused for a moment. "She's a good person!"
"Yeah." Natalie nodded.
It was true that Heather was a good person.
Cedric never received a good reception from Heather because he had done so many things wrong to
Natalie.
Otherwise, how could he have received such treatment from Heather?
"Are you scared about tomorrow?" Clyde looked at Natalie and held her hand.
Natalie said, "Of course, I'm scared!"
She was telling the truth. How could she not be scared, especially since Isabella had undergone similar
surgery before, and it failed?
So, any surgical procedure like this was definitely not one hundred percent guaranteed. There was
always the possibility of complications.
That was the scariest part.
If there was an accident, it would definitely be a big one.
"Don't worry, okay?"
"Yeah."
In the beginning, Natalie wasn't too worried. But as it got closer to the end, she became more nervous.
After all, this kind of surgery demanded precision.
If it fails this time...!
Natalie knew what would happen afterward!
The lifelong darkness was a result not everyone could bear. Even she might not be able to endure it.
Isabella was someone she despised.
Regardless, Natalie could almost feel how desperate Isabella was back then when the latter was
trapped in the darkness.
When one had to wait... it didn't feel like torture initially. But as it neared the end, every minute and
every second became agonizing.
Natalie hardly slept well that night.
The next day, the medical team arrived at the ward.
Natalie was tense.
"Relax a bit," Clyde said.
"Okay."
Even though Natalie said that, her heart clenched tightly when the doctor's cold fingers slowly
unraveled the gauze from her eyes.
As the gauze was completely removed, she felt the cold air on her skin. There was also an empty
sensation as if she had lost a layer of protection.
"Open your eyes."
