Clyde's warm fingertips gently grazed her eyes.
Feeling this warmth, Natalie felt as if she had been scorched. A stifling sensation rose in her chest.
Clyde said, "The doctor mentioned your condition is severe. You need to listen this time, okay?"
"Okay."
Previously, Natalie's family had insisted on an immediate surgery. However, perhaps due to her past
life's harrowing experience with darkness, Natalie still harbored deep-seated fears.
Regardless of the advice given, she resisted, not wanting to plunge back into that abyss.
In truth, she was terrified!
The risks associated with the eye surgery were high. Should it fail, she would be plunged into an
endless darkness.
In her previous life, she had suffered enough within that void. So this time around, she was adamant
about not spending even a second enveloped in it.
Like a devil's lair, the overwhelming darkness left one feeling utterly trapped—a sensation only those
who've endured could truly grasp.
"Nat."

"Try to relax as much as possible during this period. It'll be beneficial for the surgery."
Clyde's words were firm, as if he would quickly secure the resources for Natalie's operation.
However, just as he was about to stand, Natalie suddenly grasped his hand.
"What's wrong?" Clyde asked as he lowered his head to look at Natalie.
"Let things flow naturally, alright?" Natalie said in a heavy tone.
Clyde paused for a moment, realizing the gravity of Natalie's words. Considering the Jarvis family's
background, it wasn't particularly challenging to arrange this surgery for her.
However, he now understood why she hesitated.
Natalie had endured so much.
From Cedric to Isabella and Kayla...!
Yet, despite the myriad pains life had thrown her way, what was truly remarkable was her enduring
attitude toward it all.
Clyde's eyes softened. "Don't worry."
The man's tone was gentle, and Natalie released his hand only then. With that, Clyde departed from
the room.
Left alone, Natalie lay on the chaise longue. She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them,
attempting to see clearly.
Yet, no matter how hard she tried, everything remained blurred before her.
Back in Mount Elven, she could see the snow and the sunlight so vividly that she thought her eyesight
had improved.
However, that was not the case.
The brightness of the snow and sunlight had given her temporary clarity, but her vision deteriorated
rapidly once she left that environment.
Under such harsh treatment, her eyesight was diminishing.
No one truly understood the depth of her fear now. In her previous life, she had felt unburdened and
indifferent.
But now, she feared not witnessing her parents age or seeing Luna grow up.
These thoughts constantly assailed her sanity, plunging her heart into an abyss! -
Cedric wasn't sure how he had returned to the hotel.

"Your Excellency, things in Wexford are...!"
"Kyle."
"Yes, Your Excellency?"
Kyle was abruptly interrupted and taken aback by Cedric's appearance.
He looked at Cedric and waited in confusion.
"Do I look like a bad man to you?" Cedric asked.
Kyle was momentarily lost for words.
What was going on?
It wasn't as if they were saints!
Kyle had always seen himself that way as he worked by Cedric's side.
So, Cedric's remark left him bewildered.
Staring at Kyle, who remained silent, Cedric pressed, "Do I?"
"Somewhat," Kyle cautiously responded.
Somewhat?
What did that even mean?
Judging by the flicker in Cedric's eyes, Kyle had a rough idea of where Cedric might have been just
moments ago.
