"I won't let go of her hand. I won't leave her side!" Irwin said, each word simple yet resolute.

Clyde raised an eyebrow. Hearing Irwin's strong words felt almost like a joke to him.

The next moment, Clyde retorted, "If you want to keep her, it depends on whether you have what it

takes!"

Clyde's words were meaningful, and no one knew Irwin's thoughts after hearing them. Clyde then

entered the room, leaving Irwin alone in the corridor.

Irwin's eyes shimmered with an unprecedented determination.

Too much!

He had inflicted too much pain on Natalie. This time, he just wanted to do everything to stay by her

side.

When Dylan approached Irwin, he couldn't help but feel a pang of empathy seeing the desolation in the

man's silhouette.

Even as a man, Dylan's heart tightened at that moment.

"Sir." Dylan stepped forward, bringing Irwin's attention back.

"Did he leave?" Irwin asked.

"Yes."

"Where did he go?"

"Well..."

What could Dylan say? His tone was heavy, and Irwin understood that Cedric was really gone.

Irwin had received word beforehand that Cedric had evacuated all of his people from Wexford. Kayla

had also been taken away.

Cedric had truly left Wexford. No one knew where he was headed. He had left Natalie's world

completely clean of his traces. His departure felt suffocating and painful.

After a long pause, Irwin's voice tightened as he said, "It's better that he's gone!"

The departure of one person was agonizing, but the pain for those left behind was even greater.

Why did Cedric leave at this moment?

Undoubtedly, he didn't want anyone to see him in such a sorry state in the darkness.
