The night passed peacefully.

Natalie was happy because of Clyde's presence, and her lingering discontent towards Irwin and Cedric

dissipated. Due to that, she was able to sleep well.

Although Heather had been calling her, expressing her desire to be by her side, Natalie had been

hesitant to accept for fear of revealing her vulnerability to her family.

Deep down, however, she longed for their company.

Girls were like that. They wanted their family by their side during the toughest times. They didn't want

to show their vulnerability, but they craved their family's presence more than anything. -

Natalie slept soundly, but for a few, sleep evaded them throughout the night.

The next morning, Lydia and Xyla hurriedly finished their breakfast before Natalie woke up. As Natalie

couldn't eat due to her surgery today, they had to finish before she woke up.

"Let's go," Clyde's voice rang out.

In the next moment, he scooped Natalie up in his arms.

"Are you going with me to the surgery?" Natalie asked.

"Yes."

"What about Irwin?"

"Do you miss him?"

"Of course not!"

It was just that Irwin had always been by her side recently, and now his sudden absence felt...

unsettling.

But perhaps it was for the best. Every time she heard his voice, Natalie felt a surge of anger.

In the car, Natalie sensed Irwin's presence. She understood that since Clyde arrived, he had forbidden

Irwin from getting close to her.

"Cly."

"Yes?"

"Once the surgery is successful, will you take me home?"
