Chapter 939
Chapter 939 Natalie Won't Come Here Over at Cedric's place, things were clearly not going smoothly.
Kayla's situation remained precarious, so surgery wasn't an option right now. The child woke up midway once, calling out for her mommy.
Everyone knew she was calling for Natalie.
However, regardless of Cedric's attempts to contact Natalie, he either got no response or a cold one! Now, the only one who could talk to Natalie was Bianca. Cedric had once looked down on Bianca's arrogance back in Verde City, but now, he had no choice but to go to her! Bianca was in her cabin preparing case files, pondering how to get John behind I
bars.
Suddenly, the doorbell urgently rang.
Bianca thought it was Sandy. These days, Sandy would send Bianca some local specialties almost daily. So even if Bianca didn't go to town, she wouldn't lack food.
However, when she opened the door and saw Cedric standing outside, Bianca's expression instantly darkened.
"Why are you here?" Clearly, just like Natalie, Cedric was the last person Bianca wanted to see.
But, much to her dismay, Cedric was like a persistent rash, impossible to shake off.
Wherever one went, he would stick around.
However, Bianca was relieved he wasn't here to pester Natalie directly. Otherwise, he would ruin Natalie's peaceful life! I Cedric stood at the door, covered in snow.
Flakes landed on his hair and shoulders, giving him a forlorn and weathered look.
It was a stark contrast to his Verde City days! But to Bianca, this contrast was his retribution. Back in Verde City, he was so high and mighty when he stood at the pinnacle. But ultimately, he couldn't even protect the one he loved the most.
In the end, trapped within his own fortress, he couldn't even inspire half a shred of trust from her.
What else could it be but retribution? ""Can I come in?" Cedric asked.
"If you're here about Natalie and Kayla, I don't want to hear it!" Bianca was about to close the door.
Clearly, even if Cedric didn't say it, Bianca already knew why he was here. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Back in Verde City, he lowered himself for
Isabella's sake. And now, naturally, it was for Kayla.
Coincidentally, these were the two beings Bianca and Natalie detested the most.
But just as she was about to shut the door, his strong arm forcefully blocked her from doing so. "Bianca!" The words carried more weight this time.
Bianca's breath hitched. "I told you...!" Without waiting for Bianca's response, he barged in.
Bianca was furious! She was about to kick him out, but Cedric was adamant. He marched straight into the living room, turning to face Bianca.
"I'll only say a few words and then leave!" he declared.
Bianca scoffed. "I know what you're going to say,"
Bang! With that, she slammed the door shut.
She didn't want to close it, but it was too cold outside. The warmth from the fireplace in the house would escape into the chilly air if she didn't do anything.
Sitting down on the sofa by the fireplace, she continued, "Let me tell you, Natalie won't come here. Whatever you have to say won't change anything." It sounded cruel, but after spending so much time in Simeria, Bianca knew that sometimes, being cruel was being kind to oneself.
Cedric looked at her with a dimmer expression, his breath growing heavier.
Bianca glanced at him.
"Can't we just end this? Why do you have to keep clinging on?" She remembered Cedric's determined decision to let go back in Simeria, Why
the change of heart now? But now that she thought about it, hadn't this man changed more than once? He said he would let Natalie go more than once! "This is the last time," Cedric insisted.
"Hah!" Bianca chuckled ironically. "Can you be sure it's Kayla's last brush with death?" Cedric was stunned into silence. Bianca continued, "You've had your second chances, but you'd still run to Nat if Kayla's health took a turn for the worse again. So, what's this about the last time? In your world, things always change!" Natalie probably realized this too, which is why, amidst the man's constant changes, she... let go for good.
"These days, all you've been thinking about is how to get her here, right?" Bianca observed Cedric's silence, her tone I
I growing colder. ""Have you ever thought about her? If she comes here and it gets out, how will look like to the people of Simeria?" With Natalie's current status, everything she did had implications for her, Austin, and Luna! Seeing Cedric's flat expression, Bianca's anger flared. "Even if you haven't thought about her, haven't you thought about Luna?" Bianca couldn't believe it. How could Cedric not think about his own daughter? If he hadn't even considered that, Bianca thought, this man was truly terrifying.
Cedric protested, "I've said that I'll arrange everything. Nothing will be leaked!" "And what about Austin? He's her husband now. What would he think about Nat going to see her ex-husband's daughter?"
Bianca was even angrier now.
"If she was still your wife, would you be okay with her visiting another man?" Would he? Bianca doubted there'd be a positive reaction. But right now, she didn't know what to say to Cedric. She was just furious! Cedric fell silent.
Would he be okay with it? Clearly not! And he wouldn't allow it either.
"Bianca..." "You always think about yourself. Have you ever thought about how much trouble your suggestion would cause for others?" Bianca's anger flared even more.
"You never think it through. You always make things sound so simple, but when it happens to you, it's so complicated!"
What could be said to Cedric at this point? Cedric was speechless, and his heart felt even heavier. Seeing his face growing ashen by the second, Bianca looked at him and said, "Stop looking for her, okay?" non .
"Just consider it as me begging you, okay?"
