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

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

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

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

"Yes."

"What about Irwin?"

"Do you miss him?"

"Of course not!"

Irwin from getting close to her.
