At that moment, Natalie and Clyde couldn't help but hold their breaths.
Natalie kept her eyes closed. It felt as if they were glued shut, and she was too afraid to open them.
This was the final moment...
This was indeed the final moment!
Both she and Clyde were well aware that whatever she faced when she opened her eyes now would
be what she'd have to confront for the rest of her life.
"Open them!" The doctor's tone grew more stern.
Natalie was silent.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, was it... Isaac?!
The person who disappeared completely after fighting with Cedric...?
When Natalie heard the voice, her face turned pale.
But the next moment, Clyde spoke up, "Zac, you're scaring her."
Compared to Isaac's stern tone, Clyde's was even graver.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense.
Hearing Clyde address Isaac by a nickname shook Natalie's composure.
Finally, she tried to open her eyes!
However, after several attempts, she couldn't do it.
"I can't open them."
The room fell silent.
Then, the man's cold fingertips lightly cleaned her skin.
It had been half a month, and every day was critical. Upon hearing Isaac's voice, Natalie knew he was
the one who performed the surgery.
She never expected it to be Isaac!
So, at this moment, she wasn't just nervous. She was completely terrified because of Isaac's surgery
on Isabella!
What was Verde City like at that time?
Why did Cedric still have the audacity to ask her to accept all of it in the end? How did he manage to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsay such things so calmly?
At least for now, Natalie couldn't understand it.
"Natalie, in my impression, you were never a weak housewife." As Natalie continued to keep her eyes
shut, Isaac's tone grew heavier.
The term 'housewife' struck a chord deep within her.
Yes, Natalie used to be a housewife!
But then, everyone around her had witnessed the earth-shattering changes that happened to her...!
It was precisely because of her change that made people more suspicious.
How could a housewife be so calm and composed in those situations? How could she remain so
serene in the face of such events?
In the end, it wasn't about whether people believed she was innocent or not.
Rather, it was about how deep she had hidden herself!
It was so deep that no one had ever seen through her, and no one had ever suspected whether they
had misjudged Natalie.
And now, Isaac believed he had indeed misjudged her.
With Isaac's sharp words, Natalie finally opened her eyes gradually. No one knew what kind of
pressure she was under at that moment.
What unpleasantness had occurred between her and Isaac in the past? How much fear did she have
facing this surgery now?
She hadn't done anything to offend Isaac before. However, just thinking about his hatred and hysterics
towards her before this revealed how much he cherished his late fiancee.
So, he might have retaliated against her in this surgery, right?
Finally, she opened her eyes!
"Can you see?" Isaac asked.
Natalie was silent.
She could see a little... but it was blurry!
She closed her eyes, then opened them again. It was still a bit blurry! She closed and opened them
again...
It was clear now...!
Everything in front of her... was all clear.
She... could see!
Everyone watched her nervously. Lydia and Xyla were holding each other's hands tightly.
They all knew that Natalie was an extremely proud person, and taking away her vision for the rest of
her life would be too cruel for her.
"Natalie."
"I can see."
Isaac didn't retaliate against her!
Natalie breathed a slight sigh of relief when she thought about this. She was really nervous and even
scared when she heard Isaac's voice earlier.
Isaac was a renowned doctor, and getting his help without any connections was hard. However, she
knew that no one should offend him because, as a patient, they would still need his help in the end.
"Nat."
Clyde embraced her. At that moment, Natalie could clearly feel the trembles in his body.
She had gotten used to it. So when Clyde held her, she subconsciously used her senses to perceive
everything.
Now, she could see.
The next step was to gradually block out this habit of perceiving things through her other senses.
"Can you really see?" Clyde released her and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Natalie nodded. "Yes, I can see."
It was true.
Clyde asked, "What color is my shirt?"
"Navy blue!"
"Okay... Okay! I can even see your scruffy beard," Natalie joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Clyde laughed. Wasn't he the one who forgot to shave today? She even noticed that. It was
unbelievable!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth of them laughed. The whole ward relaxed because of this moment.
The surgery was successful.
It was considered a success when the bandage was removed, and she could see.
And now, it was clear how successful it was!
"Nat, it's great that you can see again. You have no idea what this period was like..." Clyde trailed off,
unable to continue.
Natalie tried hard not to let everyone worry about her, and everyone tried hard not to show their worry.
They didn't want to pressure her.
But now, everything was fine.
Everything was finally okay...!
"I'm sorry," Natalie said, choking up slightly.
"Don't cry. You can't cry now!" Clyde said.
Now that she could see again, the significance of tears for her was evident.
"I'm not crying!" Natalie retorted.
Regaining one's sight was truly not easy. So, she needed to protect her eyes well. She wanted to go
back and see Luna.
When first blinded, she was genuinely afraid and constantly engulfed in darkness. No one knew how
she felt when she thought about how she wouldn't be able to see Luna grow up.
But now, things were different.
Now, she could see and clearly witness every change in her daughter.
However, she didn't know... In exchange for her being able to see now, there was someone who would
forever live in darkness.
Perhaps there was a chance for them to see together, but he ultimately gave up. He wanted to endure
all the suffering Natalie had endured.
He wanted to experience it all.
The pain of another lifetime, the suffering of this life...!
He chose to live in darkness, using the pain she had suffered to atone for his endless sins.
