Irwin looked at Natalie and sighed. "You must get better..."
His words carried such depth and pain, as if there was a hidden meaning behind them.
Natalie was focused on the rain around her, and she stopped answering any of Irwin's questions.
Ever since Cedric left, their interactions had always been this cold!
Clack! Clack!
The sound of heels and wheels echoed in the yard, making Natalie frown as she rose.
"It's Ms. Sanders," Lydia said, leaning in close to Natalie's ear as she noticed the panic flicker across Natalie's face.
No one knew how Natalie's heart had jumped to her throat when she heard the sound of heels. It felt like what she had experienced back then...!
On the day Scarlet Villa burned down, she also heard such footsteps. So, in the darkness, she feared hearing such noise most.
Upon hearing Lydia say it was Bianca, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
But... why was Bianca here?
"Nat," Bianca called out.
"Bia?"
"It's me."
"What brings you here?"
Clearly, Bianca's sudden visit surprised Natalie.
Perhaps the most helpless thing for Natalie now was what was happening with Bianca.
She truly felt helpless in this situation.
She wanted to help Bianca, but she just couldn't.
And that feeling was painful.
"Zane sent me to find you," Bianca said.
As she spoke, she was already by Natalie's side. When she held Natalie's hand, it felt cold.
Natalie tightened her grip on Bianca's hand. Upon hearing that Zane sent Bianca, Natalie probably also thought about what might be happening in Simeria.
Deep down, she felt sorry for Bianca.
But since Zane had smoothly sent Bianca over to Yuloria, that meant Malcolm must be quite occupied.
Bianca's heart was also hurting. When she saw Natalie's vacant eyes, her heart ached with suffocating pain.
Previously, she only heard Zane mention that Natalie might lose her sight.
But now, at this moment...
Bianca's heart tightened continuously.
Reaching out, she waved her hand in front of Natalie's eyes, but... was disappointed!
Because Natalie truly had no reaction at all.
"Can you really not see at all?" Bianca sighed.
"Mm."
Bianca fell silent. Her heart, already aching, now feels like it's bleeding upon hearing those words.
Natalie really couldn't see anything anymore.
When they embraced, both of them felt a sense of relief.
People would say that once a woman was involved in a romantic relationship, her friendship with her best friend would become impure.
However, they didn't know about a kind of bond that was inseparable. It was a bond where just seeing and hearing each other's voices brought an overwhelming sense of peace.
Wasn't that how Natalie feels towards Bianca now?
That was why she suffered so much with Cedric in the end.
If she had listened to Bianca earlier, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many troubles later on, and she wouldn't have had to endure the current outcome.
"Bia."
"Yeah?"
Natalie looked at Bianca and said gravely, "Be more cautious around the Entes family men!"
Natalie had seen the men of the Entes family. All of them, including Zane and Malcolm, seemed like dazzling stars in the sky. They exuded a captivating aura that could easily ensnare others.
But Natalie, having experienced it once, knew that such allure was superficial and that it hid deep abysses within.
Cedric's demeanor made it clear to her.
She never wanted to experience the coldness and terror she had witnessed.
"Enough. I know where I stand." Bianca sighed as she glanced at Natalie.
In saying those words, there was a hint of bitterness in her heart.
Because Bianca finally understood.
Back when she had tried to persuade Natalie, Natalie hadn't listened to her, no matter what Bianca had said!
She finally understood Natalie's feelings then.
It wasn't that Natalie didn't want to listen.
She did!
But at that time, she couldn't.
The human heart was sometimes mysterious like that. It was clearly one's own yet beyond one's control.
It was only when one truly got hurt that they knew how to protect themselves.
