His sanity was constantly being challenged.
After his burst of anger, Cedric laughed.
It was maniacal, and it sounded... so tragically heavy.
Then, it seemed like something within Cedric's world had died.
He suddenly calmed down, his voice chillingly composed, "Was Clyde just an excuse? You came for Irwin, didn't you?"
He used to believe that in Natalie's world, nothing mattered more than her child and the members of the Jarvis family.
However, Caleb, as the father of the child, held importance, and Irwin seemed to have an irreplaceable position in her heart.
Now, in Natalie's world, everyone seemed more important than Cedric.
Was there anything sadder than that?
Cedric had always thought the ten years of emotions between him and Natalie were insurmountable. He believed that these emotions were his strongest leverage against Natalie.
But he was wrong.
She had changed.
"After everything, would Irwin accept being the stepfather to your illegitimate daughter?"
The aftermath of his madness was pure sarcasm.
With every word, Cedric hoped to awaken Natalie. Hearing him refer to Luna as an illegitimate daughter, a coldness spread in Natalie's eyes.
"Don't be naive," Cedric mocked. "Given Irwin's status, how could he accept that you have a daughter?"
"You wouldn't accept her either, would you?" Natalie swiftly countered.
The look in her eyes was calm... but it was also chillingly cold.
Cedric remained silent.
Could he?
Under Natalie's gaze, he continuously questioned himself internally.
Could he accept her daughter?
"You can't accept it either, right?" Natalie repeated.
Cedric had wanted Caleb to take Luna away, which indicated... that he wasn't as magnanimous as he pretended to be.
Even though he kept pestering Natalie to accept Isabella's child...
In reality, he could never accept Luna's existence either.
"Irwin may not accept her, but he's willing to let me raise the child in the Jarvis family. And you? You're such a hypocrite!"
Cedric was silent.
"You tell me to accept Isabella's child, yet you secretly demand Caleb take away my child! You're not exactly noble yourself, Cedric!"
So, Cedric should stop mocking Irwin.
Neither of them were good people, so why attack each other like this?
Cedric remained silent, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Their gazes locked, confronting each other.
Cedric felt deeply disappointed in Natalie, feeling as though Irwin had taken an unshakeable place in her heart.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed—it was a call from the hospital.
Kayla's continuous high fever had meant a several-day stay, and Cedric had planned to visit her with some clothes.
But who would have thought...?
"Hello?" He answered, and whatever was said on the other end made his expression even colder than before.
His entire body couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.
Then, he said into the phone with quivering lips, "I'm coming right away!"
He hung up and rushed out without even glancing at Natalie. It was evident that something serious had happened at the hospital.
And at the center of it all was undoubtedly Kayla.
