Chapter 699
Since coming over from Yonwood City, Isaac was often hy Natalie's side. Once, Isaac had been at
odds with her because of his fiancee. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
But now...
After a thorough examination, he said, "You've recovered well, hut since it was a major surgery, you still
need to take good care of yourself."
After all, recovering one's sight through eye surgery was not an easy feat!
There was profound meaning in Isaac's words.
However, Natalie looked at Isaac with confusion. Clearly, she detected the deliberate bitterness
suppressed in his tone.
"Of course," Natalie replied.
After all, she had experienced what it felt like to be in complete darkness in both lifetimes. She fully
understood the despair, especially in this lifetime!
The despair she felt was a thousand times worse than in her previous life.
It turns out that a woman experienced life completely differently before and after she became a mother!
In this life, just the thought of not being able to watch her child grow up suffocated her! So, now that
she had regained her sight, she naturally needed to take good care of herself.
"Natalie."
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Isaac looked at Natalie with a deep gaze and asked, "Do you really not care about him at
all?"
Natalie glanced sideways. She naturally knew who Isaac was referring to at this moment.
His tone was tense!
Natalie took a deep breath. "Do you think I should care about him?"
At this moment, Natalie's tone was unpleasant. Like every other time when Cedric's name came up,
she was always icy!
It made one truly understand what the meaning of cold was.
Isaac never knew that a woman could be so devoid of warmth when she became cold and uncaring,
and he was experiencing it now!
"Such a major event happened in Wexford! Do you really...?"
"I'm not even curious about it. Why should I care?" Natalie coldly interrupted Isaac before he could
finish his sentence.
Isaac fell silent. He was clearly stunned by Natalie's words.
What happened in Wexford was a significant matter. Yet, she wasn't curious at all?
It made sense! So far, regardless of what happened in Wexford, someone always told her about it.
But as far as Natalie was concerned, she never bothered asking about it first. She didn't even ask
anyone from her family about what was going on in Wexford.
It was as if it didn't matter to her at all.
Isaac looked at Natalie in disbelief.
He couldn't believe it...!
Cedric and Natalie used to have such a great relationship, and now, they were silent about each other
to this extent.
Natalie looked at Isaac and smiled. "Didn't you see with your own eyes how we ended up like this?
Why would you still ask such questions?"
Her smile, at this moment, was so glaring!
How did they end up like this?
When Isaac had returned to Verde City back then, Isabella was already at Cedric's side. Isaac's eyes
flickered with endless coldness when he thought of that woman.
"Do you still remember?"
"What?"
"That night at Elegance Bay!"
Isaac fell silent. At her words, Isaac's face turned uncontrollably pale. That night at Elegance Bay,
which was also the night she had been thrown into the detention center...
What had he been doing there?
In an instant, Isaac understood which night Natalie was referring to.
"He told you, didn't he?"
"Natalie!"
"He wanted you to remove the child yourself!"
Isaac fell silent.
The child... Luna!
Luna had always been a very painful issue between Natalie and Cedric. Whenever Luna was
mentioned, it was too painful even to breathe.
"Natalie...!"
Isaac wanted to say something, but there was nothing he could say at this moment. Seeing Natalie's
indifferent demeanor, Isaac naturally understood what had led this once gentle woman to become so
cold.
"With that has happened, how do you expect me to be curious? How do you expect me to care?"
Natalie wished everything about Cedric would never appear in her life again! So when that man
disappeared from Wexford, Natalie only felt relieved!
Who cared where he went? Regardless of how many people worried about him, it didn't matter to her.
It was as if, without Cedric's presence, her world became quiet.
"No matter what happened between you two, he..."
Once again, Natalie ruthlessly cut off Isaac's words, "Isaac, are you going to say that he loves me?"
Isaac fell silent.
Love?!
Why? Why did the word 'love' sound so cold when she said it?
"You also know Blair, don't you?"
Isaac was once again speechless!
Seeing how the man remained silent, Natalie knew everyone around her knew about Blair and her
significance to Cedric.
There was someone who was even more important than Isabella in Cedric's life!
Natalie was the only one who hadn't known! From beginning to the end, everyone kept her in the dark
and ensured that she knew nothing.
"With that said, do you still want to say he loves me?"
Love?
The word 'love' undoubtedly weighed heavily between Natalie and Cedric. After everything they had
been through, if someone were to tell Natalie now that Cedric loved her...
How ironic was that?!
Thinking about how Cedric was now trapped in eternal darkness, Isaac initially wondered if Natalie was
being too heartless.
After all, Cedric was no longer in Wexford, and nobody knew where he was! Nobody knew the despair
he faced in the darkness.
Yes, despair...!
When a person was blind and trapped in the darkness, unable to distinguish day from night...
How terrifying was it?
Cedric fell into darkness because of her!
More than that, he had done it to punish himself for the suffering he had caused Natalie to endure.
Yet, Natalie didn't even show a shred of concern.
Wasn't she heartless?
But when Natalie mentioned that night at Elegance Bay and spoke of Blair, it was only the tip of the
iceberg of what happened when she and Cedric were together.
Before, how many times...!
When she endured all that darkness and despair, where was Cedric? From what Natalie knew, he was
with Isabella.
In Natalie's world, the word 'love' became so ridiculous!
Once, that man had treated her with endless indifference and ruthlessness.
So, why would she care about him now?
