Chapter 618 Can You
Afford to Wait?
When she thought about how she might spend the rest of her life in this darkness, Natalie's heart
tightened.
It was too long!
There was very little one could do in the darkness besides hearing sounds. No wonder some people
said not everyone had the courage to face the darkness.
And now, Natalie felt she lacked the courage to face this darkness.
"Take me back to Simeria," Natalie said after taking a deep breath.
Cedric was already tensed, and he felt more suffocated upon hearing Natalie's request.
"Nat!"
"Mr. Larkin is a good doctor, but I feel nothing from taking this medicine," Natalie said.
It would be better for her to get surgery.
That was the only thing on Natalie's mind now.
Feeling nothing was the scariest part.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedric understood the implications in her tone. A hint of hurt and pain flashed in his eyes.
"Have you considered that surgery might..."
It would be great if the surgery were successful, but what if it failed?
Eye surgery was different from other surgeries.
If it failed, it would truly be a failure.
But with Edward's expertise, there was still some hope for Natalie.
If this ultimately failed, they could still consider surgery.
Cedric was scared.
In fact, he was terrified, especially when it came to Natalie.
Even if it took a lot of time, he was willing to do it.
"Natalie, I'm afraid," Cedric said slowly.
Yes, he was afraid.
He was afraid of the surgery failing. If it did fail,
Natalie would be in darkness for the rest of her life.
What would that even mean?
Cedric didn't want to face such a heavy outcome.
Upon hearing Cedric's words, Natalie reacted as if she had heard a joke.
"Hah!"
Afraid? Of what?
He said that he had chased her across one lifetime. So, if the surgery failed, his conscience would
never find peace!
That was what he was really afraid of, right?
In this aspect, Natalie seemed to have seen through Cedric completely.
Without a doubt, it boiled down to her lack of trust in Cedric's feelings that led to such sentiments.
"Nat, wait a bit more, okay?"
"Can you afford to wait?" Cedric asked.
"I... can!" Cedric said carefully.
It was a rare sight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was the first time he showed such patience for her sake.
It seemed that Cedric was actually afraid when Natalie was tethering on the edge of darkness.
He remembered every bit of their past life too well! He remembered the moment he found out about
Natalie's surgery.
Back then, he destroyed the entire hospital.
Especially when he saw her eyes covered with white bandages...!
That was probably something Cedric didn't want to face in this life either.
That pain suffocated him, and it was a feeling he never wanted to face in this lifetime.
He couldn't investigate everything that happened in their past life, but this time... he didn't want any
regrets.
"I don't want to wait anymore," Natalie said flatly.
Clearly, she seemed more resigned than Cedric had anticipated in facing this darkness. It was as if she
had become used to it.
Even if she had to suffer further, it wouldn't affect her anymore.
