The two locked eyes.
At that moment, it felt as if even the surrounding air had become thin, making it so unbearable and causing one's entire body to tense up.
"So?" After a pause, Natalie stared coldly at Cedric, her icy gaze growing more dangerous by the second.
Cedric responded, "The expert team mentioned that their compatibility is exceptionally high."
At that moment, even without Cedric spelling it out, Natalie grasped the implications of his words.
From the genetic bank, the compatibility between Kayla and Luna was significant.
What was his intention?
Clang!
Natalie threw her spoon on the plate, her eyes filled with malice as she observed Cedric's evident struggle.
Yet, his inner turmoil appeared ironic and revolting to her.
She understood.
Coldly, she questioned, "So what? Just as you once asked for my eyes to save Isabella, are you now planning to use my daughter to save Isabella's child?"
"Nothing can happen to her!"
"And so you're putting my daughter at risk?"
The past and present events are intertwined at this moment.
Isabella, and Isabella's daughter!
Natalie, and Natalie's daughter!
Cedric's scheme was truly cunning.
"I've checked. As a donor, she won't be-"
Bang!
Crash!
Clang!
Natalie overturned the entire dining table, revealing the depths of her anger. Her petite frame trembled as she stared at Cedric, her visage now fearsome!
"Cedric, listen carefully. Don't even think about it!"
Her words dripped with danger and warning.
Unless Natalie lost her mind, she would never agree to use Luna to save Isabella's daughter.
He wasn't worthy!
She knew he favored Kayla, but who would have thought her suspicions would become reality?!
He was really ready to sacrifice Luna to save Kayla without a second thought.
Their eyes met. The conflict in Cedric's eyes gradually calmed, and his eyes hardened.
"I wasn't consulting you."
The chill in Natalie's body intensified. Upon hearing the warning in his words, no one knew just how tumultuous and resentful Natalie's heart was at this moment.
Once, she had closed off her heart to Cedric with a determination never to interact with him again.
But now, she wanted revenge.
She realized it!
As long as this man remained in her life, she would never find peace.
"So, you're informing me now?"
"Nat, it's a life!" The man emphasized each word, coldly reminding her.
Clearly, at this moment, Cedric also realized that Natalie... would never agree, and Kayla's condition couldn't afford to wait.
He just wanted this matter to end quickly.
No matter how much she resented him deep down, he wanted this matter to conclude as soon as possible.
Natalie looked at the man before her. She was furious...!
When people hit the limit of their anger, they would become calm.
"And what about my life in the past?"
He claimed that Kayla's life was invaluable.
What about her?
"Cedric, in the past, I was worth less than dirt to you! Where did this sudden sentimentality come from?"
Yes, it was all an act.
People often said people would realize the value of what they didn't have and cherish what they lost.
"Orchids prefer cold. Grown like this, their blooming season will be short," Irwin remarked.
"I know nothing about flowers," Natalie replied absentmindedly.
Irwin studied her, then sat opposite her.
He sipped his lukewarm tea and asked, "What's wrong? Has he made his choice?"
Natalie's gaze instantly sharpened.
Looking at this man who seemed to have everything in control, she became wary.
"Are you still not over it," Irwin asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she replied, although she knew precisely what he meant.
Irwin, on many occasions, could be even more stubborn than Cedric. Clearly, he didn't feel the need to provide many explanations about that night at Meridiania.
In his view, what he said should be enough for Natalie to understand.
Unfortunately for him, Natalie was indifferent.
So naturally, she would avoid the topic more.
Irwin asked, "Have you let go?"
This time, he was referring to Cedric.
Natalie set down her teacup and said flatly, "It's irrelevant whether I've let go or not."
"You may have moved on, but he..."
"Mr. Frazier!" Natalie interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"Sorry," Irwin said.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to retrieve that half of the documents you're looking for," Natalie remarked.
Given how things had escalated with Cedric, she doubted she'd ever want to return to Peach Garden again.
She had expected Irwin to use Clyde's past against her regarding the missing document. However, he surprised her with his straightforwardness.
"It's fine," he simply said.
Natalie paused, clearly taken aback!
Her gaze towards Irwin now carried a more probing intent.
