Clyde's embrace made Natalie feel secure and warm. So, this was the charm of family strength. Since returning to the Jarvis family, this warmth had been everywhere.
"When is the surgery scheduled?" Clyde asked.
"Tomorrow."
"Then I'll stay here with you."
"Okay," Natalie replied.
Hearing that Clyde would accompany her, Natalie felt even warmer inside. She felt much more reassured by his presence.
Clyde tightened his arms around her. He didn't ask Natalie what darkness truly looked like!
Even if the surgery succeeded, it was probably a pain she wouldn't want to face in her lifetime.

In a wooden building not far away, Cedric and Irwin stood together. They watched as Clyde held Natalie.
At that moment, Cedric's eyes held more than just sadness and bitterness. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I once thought that her world revolved around me."
"So, at one point, you also believed that she could never live without you, right? You thought that no matter what happened, she could never be without you!"
Cedric fell silent at Irwin's words.
Indeed!
No matter what happened, Cedric always believed that Natalie would never leave him.
He thought Natalie would stay by his side forever.
However, he was wrong.
Even if she had nothing... she would still leave him if she was hurt!
Now that the limits of her patience had been reached, there would be no compromise or forgiveness.
"After tomorrow..."
Irwin trailed off when he reached this point. At this moment, the atmosphere between the two was heavy.
What would happen after tomorrow?
After tomorrow...
Cedric... would fall into the same suffocating darkness that Natalie was experiencing now.
"After tomorrow, Irwin... you'll be the only one left in her world!"
This time, Cedric had truly made up his mind.
No... He had decided after he left Yuloria and when he allowed Irwin to head to Natalie's side.
He was leaving Natalie.
"Are you really...?" Irwin looked at Cedric with anxiety when he reached this point.
Previously, Cedric had said there seemed to be no one else in this world he could trust except Irwin.
But was Cedric really willing?
Naturally, he wasn't!
He couldn't bear to let go!
As Cedric had said before, he never imagined that he and Natalie would come to this point. No matter what had happened in their life before, he had never thought Natalie would truly leave him.
However, they have now reached this point.
"I can't bear it...!" Cedric said these words with such helplessness.
Irwin fell silent.
Cedric couldn't bear it!
He was obviously reluctant to leave!
Ten years... a full ten years!
How many couples failed to reach the ten-year mark?
They spent ten years together, and the depth of their feelings in those years...!
So now, putting it down and letting go of everything was naturally unbearable for Cedric.
However, he had to let go!
"Irwin, don't let her down again." Cedric's tone was heavier than ever.
"In that case, cancel the surgery tomorrow."
"..."
"You-"
"Can you let go then?" Cedric cut off Irwin's words before he finished.
