In the hospital, Natalie said a lot of things to Bianca. With Natalie around, Bianca felt somewhat relieved. "Leave that scoundrel to me. Once you're discharged, just leave this place!" Natalie said, knowing what Bianca was thinking. Bianca would stay here, obviously because she wanted to settle John's matter. He was a scoundrel. Even if Bianca didn't act this time, Natalie would definitely send that jerk to prison and ensure he never saw the light of day again. Deliberate arson! That was a major crime.While they were still discussing, they knew they would have to face everything eventually. Urgent voices echoed from the door. Natalie glanced at Bianca, who looked worried, obviously thinking of something. Natalie patted her hand and calmly said, "I'll check it out." With that, Natalie got up. As she opened the door to the room, she saw Austin's men and Horatio blocking Cedric's way."Sorry, Mr. Johnson, you can't go in!" Horatio's words were polite enough but carried an
As Natalie held Bianca's hand, she softly said, "I won't." Those words were spoken with such determination. Yes! Natalie wouldn't...! After all the setbacks she faced with Cedric before, she absolutely wouldn't make the same mistake again. Hearing Natalie's words, Bianca felt slightly relieved.Bianca wasn't seriously hurt. After three days in the hospital, her throat gradually recovered. However, Natalie and Austin couldn't stay here any longer. After being discharged, Malcolm took Bianca back to Snow Peak Manor. Though Bianca felt reluctant to leave Natalie, she thought of Cedric. Without even needing to think, she knew Cedric would find various ways to make Natalie see Kayla in these few days. So she said to Natalie, "You should go back soon. He's been here with you for three days. I'm sure it's been difficult for him."Austin was a man who was always busy with affairs. Being able to stay by Natalie's side for these three days showed how sincere he was toward her.N
Cedric felt as if his world had frozen in an instant. And then, something collapsed, leaving only emptiness behind! Natalie's gaze at him was icy, and her words dripped with sarcasm. Natalie's smirk grew even more ironic when she saw how pale Cedric was. "You're such a good father, aren't you?" But only as a father to Isabella's daughter. To his own biological daughter, he was nothing short of a nightmare.Standing in the cold wind, Cedric couldn't help but tremble. Luna... his daughter. How he wished he could live with Luna. Since he found out Luna was his daughter, he had imagined countless times what it would be like for the three of them to live together. However, Natalie and Luna ultimately lived happily without him, and Austin replaced him in their complete family.As Natalie turned away, Cedric trembled and asked, "Are you trying to get back at me?" Was taking Luna with her and being Austin a revenge against him? If it was, then she succeeded because he truly f
In Weiss Town, Bianca's departure was already on the agenda. Meanwhile, Cedric was still figuring out how to get Natalie to come and see Kayla, especially when he heard Kayla whisper "mommy" even while she was asleep. He wished he could just drag Natalie over here. But soon, he received news of Natalie's departure."She left?!" Cedric's voice was filled with danger upon hearing the news from Kyle.Kyle's expression turned serious as he instinctively glanced at the ward through the glass. Kayla's face looked especially pale from where he was standing.Nodding with a heavy heart, Kyle confirmed, "Yes, she's gone!"Three days. Natalie's presence here for three days was their faint hope. But now that she was gone, she took that glimmer of hope with her.Just as the two were about to say something, Kayla's attending physician approached them.-At Snow Peak Manor, Bianca packed her bags. When Malcolm returned, he saw Bianca getting ready to leave."What are you doing?" he as
Between them, it wasn't as simple as an apology, nor could a single fire destroy their past. In Bianca's eyes, her life wouldn't have deviated if she hadn't met this man. That fire wouldn't have happened. Whether this man threatened her with his kindness or genuinely felt remorse, it meant nothing to her.When Bianca left Simeria, she was determined to stay away from Malcolm. However, this man...!Since he could drop everything in Simeria and pursue her all the way here, he wouldn't give up so easily!When Bianca was locked in her room, all her coldness erupted. "Malcolm!" she spat out with anger. The man remained unaffected by her icy demeanor. "Whether you like it or are willing, we're in this for life!" His dominance was as strong as ever. His words were spoken with unwavering determination.Bianca dangerously narrowed her eyes. Slam! The door closed shut, and Malcolm returned to his study where Horatio was waiting. Click! The sound of a lighter echoed throug
Obviously, Eleanor's actions couldn't be the final explanation the Holly family would give Bianca. Eleanor's cruelty and ruthlessness were something Bianca couldn't accept. But Curtis...!"Is it serious?"After much contemplation, Bianca finally asked. After all, it was Eleanor who did those things to her, not Curtis. Also, Natalie knew what kind of person Curtis was, which was probably why she called Bianca.Natalie replied, "It's quite serious. They issued a critical condition notice last night."Bianca closed her eyes, and her entire being radiated seriousness. No one knew what was going on in her heart at that moment or the turmoil within!She thought she had encountered many troubles in her life, but when it came to Curtis, she found herself at a crossroads.Natalie asked, "Do you want to come back and see for yourself?"When Eleanor was ill, Natalie never suggested Bianca see her for the last time. Knowing what Eleanor had done to Bianca, Natalie herself couldn't forgive
Bianca glanced at Malcolm. Her eyes were already cold, but now, looking at the man in front of her, they were even colder. There was also a hint of icy scorn at the corners of her lips. Even though she didn't say anything, it was clear what she meant.But she looked at the wound on his arm, then said, "If that's the case, then you'll be even more disappointed.""Disappointed?" Malcolm was taken aback. So, in her eyes, was the fire his doing? That it was all a ploy to gain her trust and sympathy? Looking at Bianca's icy demeanor, Malcolm's anger ignited completely.Bang! He kicked a chair, sending it crashing to the ground. The noise mirrored the atmosphere between them. Malcolm paced around the dining room, seething with anger. "Don't think I can't live without you!""That's even better," Bianca retorted calmly.Malcolm was already furious, and he felt his anger intensify as he watched Bianca. He flipped the dining table in a fit of rage, but Bianca remained calm. She
In an instant, Bianca probably figured out what Malcolm was up to. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. Before she could speak, Natalie continued, "Just an hour ago, he forcibly put our lawyer on a plane!"As Natalie spoke, her tone was filled with annoyance. It indicated that not only Bianca but also Natalie herself would like nothing more than to tear Malcolm apart.Bianca took several deep breaths, her chest heaving up and down. "I'll handle this!" She knew this man was just lashing out in anger. Yes, that was it!He probably hadn't expected that she had no intention of going back to Simeria at all. So, in his frustration, his actions were clearly irrational.The more she thought about it, the angrier Natalie became. John was the arsonist who almost killed Bianca! But what was Malcolm up to now by protecting that scoundrel?After ending the call with Natalie, Bianca knelt down. She carefully held Nancy's photo in her hand, her eyes filled with pity for this unfortun
