Cedric led Natalie out. As they left, cold raindrops splashed on their faces.
Natalie asked, "Where are we going?"
"The doctor has agreed to examine you."
In these twenty days, despite Natalie's rejection of this man, he remained by her side. Natalie had no idea about the current situation in Wexford, but she felt it must be in chaos.
Yet, Cedric had not left her side.
In the car, Natalie said, "Don't think I'll forgive you just because of this."
Did she feel touched?
Not at all...!
Even though Cedric had accompanied her through these troubled times in Yuloria, Natalie felt no sense of gratitude.
Her words made the man sitting beside her stiffen for a moment, and then he unabashedly pulled her into his arms.
Then, he said, "I don't need your forgiveness. I want you to get better."
Forgiveness?
Given the current situation, Cedric naturally understood that Natalie could never forgive him.
Indeed, she would never.
But so what?
He just wanted her to get better. During this time in the darkness, Cedric felt like he had seen them from a past life.
Back then, Natalie was just like she is now.
They seemed to have returned to that time!
At that time, he watched how stubborn Natalie was and how she gradually became accustomed to the darkness.
No matter who tried to help her, she refused.
Even with Xyla and Lydia by her side, she refused help from anyone.
During their past life...!
She had nothing and no one except for him.
That was why she learned to be independent. She adapted to the darkness and refused to rely on him.
But in this life...
Even with so many loved ones around her, she was working hard to make herself independent. She... was preparing to face the darkness permanently.
Yet, Cedric knew Natalie didn't like the darkness. She disliked it even more than in their past life when she had no attachments.
But she wanted to see so many people and things in this life.
So, how could she willingly stay in the darkness?
"Can you let go of me?" Natalie didn't like such physical contact with men, but Cedric showed no intention of releasing her.
Instead, he tightened his grip around her!
"During this time, can't we just stay like this?"
Regardless of how much she usually avoided him, Cedric believed they should be together, at least during this time.
"Cedric!"
"I know you hate me, I know..."
He knew.
"But I've also said, once your eyes get better, you can settle the score with me however you want!"
Cedric had said these words countless times during this period, and he continued to persist.
Natalie found him exasperating. At times when she was truly angry, she couldn't be bothered to deal with this man.
However, Cedric was relentless. Also, he was getting more and more intrusive!
When they reached their destination, the first thing Natalie noticed was a faint scent of sugar.
It was a pleasant fragrance, one that she liked.
Cedric said, "Mr. Larkin really likes lotus flowers. His yard is filled with them."
