"If you fear retribution so much, why did you do such things in the first place?"
Irwin fell silent.
One could disappoint anyone, but never disappoint a woman.
The bottom line in a woman's heart was inviolable!
Yet he and Cedric both crossed Natalie's bottom line.
"What does it mean?"
"...”
"Are you afraid of owing me a lifetime?"
Natalie's laughter turned more ironic.
Irwin's heart was already aching, but hearing Natalie's words made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Just a lifetime of debt?
But if her eyes didn't improve because of Edward's medicine, it wasn't just a lifetime of debt.
What awaited would be a heavier price!
Cedric had already signed the surgery consent form and sent it to him.
It was clear how firm Cedric was in his decision.
If the medicine showed no improvement in three months, they would go to the hospital Cedric arranged.
Cedric would do the surgery for her sake, and when she returned to the Jarvis family, she would be whole again.
As for Cedric...
As he said in the study that day, it was his sin. If this was his retribution and punishment, he would bear it!
Natalie was a bit extreme in some matters. She knew many people were waiting for corneal transplants, and she had also been waiting.
But she didn't allow anyone in the Jarvis family to use their connections for this matter.
But there were too many people waiting.
How could they easily get what they wanted without special means?
So even though Natalie had been waiting, she still hadn't regained her sight.
So, it wasn't as simple as Natalie had made it out to be.
It was even more cruel than owing a lifetime.
"Natalie, you don't know anything..."
At this moment, Irwin's tone became heavy and serious.
Indeed.
Natalie didn't know anything.
Natalie fell silent.
She didn't know anything?
"Yes, I know nothing! I didn't know what Blair meant to you all."
"..."
"I also didn't know that in your hearts, I was just her substitute!"
Natalie was just a substitute, so they could manipulate her however they wanted, right?
After all, there wasn't even any emotional attachment involved!
That was how Irwin was.
Irwin felt a suffocating feeling in his chest.
His mind was pounding!
He knew Natalie was doing it on purpose. She was deliberately provoking him to the point where he couldn't stay by her side.
This woman was very malicious now.
And this malice was all because he and Cedric pushed her to this point...!
At that moment, Irwin turned around and said in a deep and tense tone, "Natalie, I regret it!"
He regretted involving her in the Wexford situation.
He truly, deeply regretted it.
"In life, how many times do we truly regret?" Natalie replied.
Even now, her tone remained icy, and Irwin truly didn't understand how she managed it.
Irwin could do nothing but endure Natalie's treatment of him. But more than that, he felt resigned!
All her misfortunes stemmed from him and Cedric, or more accurately, from him alone.
