Natalie hadn't initially considered the issue, but with her vision deteriorating rapidly after
her trip to Mounta Elven, it was hard to ignore the connection.
"You can't even handle bright lights. How could you...?"
Heather was genuinely alarmed. Now, no matter where Natalie wished to go, Heather
would likely object, given the harm certain places posed to her eyes.
"It's not a big deal, Mom," Natalie tried to reassure.
"Quiet!" Heather's frustration was palpable, her head throbbing with anger.
"I genuinely forgot," Natalie admitted.
She had indeed forgotten the warnings from her doctor. Since she seldom visited snowy
regions, the advice slipped her mind over time.
She hadn't anticipated such severe consequences this time around.
"You forgot?! The price of forgetting is getting plunged into darkness! Don't you
understand?" Heather's tone was more than just pained.

Feeling the urgency in Heather's voice, Natalie's anxiety spiked. "Mom, I'm sorry!"
"I don't want your apologies! I want you to be okay. Can't you see?"
It was the eternal sentiment of a mother, always wishing the best for her child.
Natalie felt a warmth in her heart. She wrapped her arms around Heather's slender waist.
Even with age, Heather remained delicate and slim!
"Don't be angry, okay? I promise I'll have the surgery," Natalie whispered.
"Nat..."
"Mom, please don't worry," Natalie was enveloped in Heather's embrace and felt like a
vulnerable child.
Heather trembled. She gently stroked Natalie's soft hair and murmured, "You finally...!"
"But..." Natalie interrupted before Heather could finish.
"What?" Heather responded.
Evidently, Heather would consent to anything if it meant Natalie would undergo the
surgery.
The surgery was of paramount importance to Natalie. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I
won't harm others. I'll wait for a natural donation."
"Alright," Heather nodded in agreement.
She would naturally consent to such terms.
Heather knew all too well how Cedric had once prioritized saving Isabella's eyes, even at
Natalie's expense.
That was why Natalie didn't want to hurt anyone with her decision.
She couldn't bear the thought of harming another for her benefit.
"I'll agree to that," Heather assured, her voice firm.
Undoubtedly, upon hearing Natalie's willingness to undergo the surgery, a weight lifted off
Heather's heart.

to Mount Elven?"
Natalie remained silent.
Irwin?!
When Casey discovered information about Blair, Irwin immediately took Natalie to Mount
Elven. At the time, she was preoccupied with confronting Irwin and had completely
forgotten the essential details, including the doctor's warnings.
Reflecting on it now...!
Natalie nodded.
The atmosphere instantly chilled, a palpable cold emanating from Heather. It was evident
just how infuriated and desperate Heather felt regarding Irwin's actions!
Irwin...!
He had once been considered trustworthy by the Jarvis family, even a close friend to
Stephen.
But now, considering the events between him and Natalie...
That was the fundamental reason why Heather would never forgive him!
