Chapter 705
What kind of presence is Bianca in Natalie's world?
Only those who have truly experienced Natalie's past know.
For example, Cedric!
Even though Cedric and Natalie got into heated arguments back then, and he never liked strong and
stubborn women like Bianca... he understood Bianca's role in Natalie's life.
He would also be aware that no matter how chaotic Simeria became, it would be impossible to stop
Natalie from going to see Bianca if the latter asked for her.
Previously, Natalie managed to navigate around Malcolm to save Bianca from Malcolm's clutches.
But what about now?
Despite Irwin's concerns, he ultimately took Natalie to Verdant Villa.
As they were about to exit the car, Irwin firmly grasped her wrist.
"What is it now?" Natalie's displeasure with Irwin's attitude grew. He didn't want her to come, and now
that she was here, what was he trying to do?
"Don't agree to anything she says," Irwin said.
"Compared to her, I think I need to be more cautious of you!" Natalie's words carried a heavy weight,
leaving Irwin feeling suffocated.
Staring into Natalie's icy eyes, Irwin felt a pang of hurt. Natalie shook him off and stepped out of the
car, limping towards the villa.
Irwin's expression darkened, and there was a wounded glint in his eyes under the dim night.
Even Dylan could sense Irwin's change.
"Sir..." Dylan addressed Irwin tentatively.
He, too, understood Natalie's current disposition from her attitude.
And if Irwin wanted Natalie to change...
It was impossible.
Irwin asked, "What do you think he would have done if he were in my place?"
Obviously, Irwin was referring to Cedric!
Dylan fell silent.
Bringing up Cedric inevitably led to memories of how unbearable Cedric's presence was to Natalie. Her
demeanor towards Cedric might be even worse than it was towards Irwin now.
Natalie's icy demeanor whenever Cedric was mentioned sent chills down one's spine.
"Give her some time," Dylan replied cautiously.
In Dylan's opinion, Natalie had faced too many upheavals in her life. Also, she had just recovered her
vision. It had also been only a short time since she had discovered the truth about Blair.
So, if anyone expected her to change her attitude at this time, it was simply impossible.
Irwin sighed. "Some wounds may heal with time, but others... can they truly heal?"
Could they truly heal?
The most common advice given to those wounded was that time healed all wounds.
But could Natalie's wounds truly heal?
The revelation about Blair felt like someone reaching into Natalie's chest to crush her heart.
It wasn't a wound that could be healed... What was there to heal when it felt as if her heart had been
crushed outright?! NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
She had spent ten years with Cedric. Except for the final three years that Irwin had destroyed with his
schemes, the preceding seven years undoubtedly held the most beautiful memories between them.
However, those seven years of beauty were also shattered when Blair emerged.
In such circumstances, could she really get better with just time, as Dylan suggests?
Could she truly recover?
Undoubtedly, this question lingered in Irwin's mind.
"He wouldn't leave without a reason," Irwin said meaningfully after a pause.
Cedric saw too clearly. It wasn't just despair over Natalie's attitude. It was more about seeing too
clearly. He knew Natalie wouldn't forgive him because of it, and he understood that seeing him only
caused more pain for her.
That was why Cedric had handed her... over to Irwin!
"In fact, the people who stay by her side are the ones truly seeking redemption, isn't it?" Irwin said
bitterly.
Dylan frowned. Undoubtedly, Cedric was currently suffering in the darkness. But Irwin, who stayed by
Natalie's side, seemed to be facing retribution for everything that happened in the past,
This was Natalie's retribution!
-
Inside the villa, Bianca's eyes instantly reddened when she saw Natalie.
Natalie tensed at the sight of Bianca's tears.
Bianca was actually...!
Back in Verde City, no matter what happened, Natalie was the one crying while Bianca was the one
cursing Cedric and comforting her.
Bianca lived like a man back then. Her world was only about winning and losing! She never admitted
defeat or shed tears.
But now?
What was going on?
"Bia," Natalie took a deep breath, looking at Bianca.
Bianca sniffled. "Zane is missing."
Natalie fell silent, and her mind went blank!
What?!
Zane was missing?!
The Entes family's third son just announced his recovery, and now Zane was missing?
Did these two events have any connection?
"Did you send someone to look for him?"
"I did."
"But Simeria is only so big..." Bianca couldn't finish her sentence.
Undoubtedly, it was a crucial period for everyone in the Entes family.
And now, Zane was missing.
What did this imply?
Natalie limped forward, wanting to embrace Bianca. But when they stood together, Natalie's height only
reached Bianca's chest.
So, this current attempt at comfort felt utterly useless.
But Bianca pulled Natalie into her arms.
"Nat, I'm afraid!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Malcolm..." Bianca couldn't continue speaking, and Natalie understood.
She understood what Bianca was truly afraid of.
Before Natalie could say anything, Bianca continued, "To be precise, it's not fear... I just can't accept
this!"
Bianca couldn't accept this?
Indeed!
The conflict between Bianca and Malcolm had been monumental, right?
The issues with Faye and Jade...
Malcolm had placed all the blame for those incidents on Bianca.
And now Zane was missing in such a crucial period.
No one knew where Zane had gone.
And now, things in the Entes family were becoming increasingly urgent!
Why did Bianca cooperate with Zane before?
Undoubtedly, she couldn't let Malcolm rise to the pinnacle of the Entes family.
Malcolm had destroyed everything Bianca held dear and was proud of.
With what he had done, how could she just let it go?!
