Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 347

"That would only make them look down on you even more. But you've grown. I'm so happy. You've reached a new level of self-respect!"

Kate praised Natalie, but Natalie simply said, "There was no possibility of curing Victoria's condition. Even if I had tried, it would have been useless."

Kate froze. She had just been praising her daughter for her newfound strength, for reaching a new level of self-respect. But it was only because Victoria's condition was incurable?

So her daughter didn't intervene for that reason?

Kate said, a little awkwardly, "Natalie, what do you mean? If Victoria's condition could have been treated, you... you would have saved her?"

Natalie said plainly, "In a doctor's eyes, there's no need to distinguish between good people and bad people. Distinguishing between good and evil is a judge's job."

Kate almost died of exasperation.

Her daughter was so stubborn. All her praise had been for nothing.

"So it was because there was no hope that you didn't help. And here I was, thinking you'd finally learned your lesson. Still, it's a good thing Victoria's condition is hopeless!"

Just then, Mrs. Lockwood said to Kate, "I guessed as much. With Natalie's personality, she definitely would have tried to save her. If she didn't, it must mean there was no chance of being saved."

Natalie didn't respond. She was lost in thought, feeling a sense of powerlessness that all doctors feel when they can't save every patient.

She was simply lamenting the limits of her own medical skills.

Mrs. Lockwood still felt it was a very satisfying outcome.

At the hospital, outside the emergency room.

Darren waited anxiously, praying that if his mother was okay, he could still forgive Natalie. But if something happened to his mother, he would never forgive her for the rest of his life.

Marie stood beside him. "She's been in there for so long. I wonder if she'll be okay. It's all Natalie's fault. She refused to save Mom. I have a bad feeling about this. Darren, you need to prepare yourself."
