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.

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.

Irwin from getting close to her.
