Lydia gave Natalie a massage with essential oils. Natalie had to admit that the oils here were truly

excellent. All her weariness of the journey disappeared once it was used on her.

Natalie fell asleep while Lydia was giving her a massage.

Just as Lydia was thinking about how to turn Natalie over, the wooden door of the room creaked open.

Lydia looked towards the door and saw Cedric wearing a casual gray lounge outfit!

Cedric gestured for silence, but Lydia's heart tightened. Just as she was about to say something, Irwin

appeared at the door and gestured at her.

Lydia was reluctant, but she respectfully left.

In the room, only Natalie and Cedric remained.

Natalie lay peacefully on the bed, her hair falling softly over her shoulders. With her eyes closed and

her curled eyelashes, she looked so beautiful, like an angel!

During this time, Irwin had been very attentive to her. Although she had been taking traditional

medicine all along, her dainty face had regained some meat.

Girls were afraid of getting fat. But because she was petite, she wouldn't look good if she were too thin.

Cedric gently traced her face. At that moment, his eyes were full of indulgence, tenderness, and an

unprecedented bitterness.

"Mmm..." Natalie shifted, seeming uncomfortable sleeping like that. Cedric gently adjusted her.

But because she was too exhausted, Natalie didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. Feeling

comfortable after being properly placed, she fell into a deep sleep again.

He watched her sleep peacefully, and the indulgence in the man's eyes grew even stronger.

He placed a light kiss on her forehead.

At this moment, it seemed like this warmth was thoroughly engraved into his heart. It was as if he

wanted to carve her face forever in his memory.

"No... no..."

It was unclear what she was dreaming about, but she kept murmuring the same thing in her sleep. In

this world, there were too many things she didn't want.
