Heather felt her heart break!
After all, who wouldn't want their child, separated for so many years, to return to them in
good health?
But Natalie...!
No one knew exactly what the doctor had told Heather.
The doctor had said, "With her eyes in that condition, she may not have much time left
before she won't be able to see."
It meant that Natalie would lose her sight soon!
"I truly despise Cedric!" Heather choked out.
Indeed, she hated Cedric.
Natalie's eyes had been damaged due to Cedric's actions. He had sent Natalie to prison
because of Isabella.
If he hadn't done that, Natalie wouldn't have suffered in that fire!
Until now, Heather hadn't mustered the courage to look at the scars on Natalie's body, but
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther eyes constantly reminded her of the unimaginable pain her daughter had endured.
"It's alright, Mom."
When Heather mentioned Cedric, there was a dark shadow in Natalie's eyes. Clearly, all
that remained for that man in her heart was hatred.
But facing her mother, Natalie struggled to find words of comfort.
Being a mother herself, Natalie understood the overwhelming desire to annihilate anyone
who harmed her child.
Yes, that was right!
She remembered the rage she felt when she learned of Cedric's choices regarding Luna.
She wanted to tear Cedric apart with her bare hands!
And then there was Heather...!
She hadn't been by Natalie's side since she was a child. So when Heather saw Natalie
being hurt in these ways, it was easy to imagine what Heather wanted to do.
"Mom, please don't be distressed."
"Wouldn't it be better to do the surgery?" Heather asked, her voice tinged with pain.
Yes, surgery.
Natalie's eyes needed immediate attention. However, due to the severity of the damage
from the fire, conventional treatments were futile.
Only a comprehensive surgical procedure could help.
"Don't you realize, Mom, that surgery poses significant risks for me too?"
"Nat."
"I can still see now. At least while I can see, I don't want to undergo any surgery, alright?"
That was right. Surgery came with its risks.
If the surgery failed, it would only hasten her complete loss of vision. That was partly why
Natalie resisted the idea of surgery initially.
She could still perceive some light, albeit blurry. But if the surgery went wrong, even that
faint glimmer would vanish!
She knew all too well the taste of utter darkness, a sensation she never wished to

It was too agonizing...!
Just contemplating that feeling was unbearable.
"Nat," Heather's voice was tinged with anguish.
It was the first time she had heard Natalie speak so candidly about her eyes and the
potential surgery.
In the past, whenever the topic of surgery arose, Natalie's immediate response was a firm
rejection, often followed by silence.
But now...
"Mom, the feeling of never seeing again is something I don't want to risk," Natalie
articulated each word carefully.
"I understand... I do!" Heather's voice quivered with emotion.
The mere thought of being in such a predicament was harrowing for anyone to
contemplate!
