A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 549

Heather wouldn't allow Natalie to step out of Lotus Villa, not even to return to Hillside Villa.

Resignedly, Natalie had no choice but to stay put.

Inside the study, Stephen glanced at Natalie.

"Your eyesight has truly reached..."

Stephen trailed off, and the anguish within his tone was palpable to Natalie.

"Dad!" Natalie interrupted.

"It's better to have the surgery sooner. It'll also ease your mother's worries."

"But I..."

"Don't worry. We'll arrange for the best surgeons for you." Stephen seemed to understand Natalie's concerns and tried to reassure her.

In reality, both Stephen and Heather were anxious, especially fearing the possibility of the surgery failing.

Hence, they were extra cautious in making arrangements.

"Dad," Natalie began hesitantly.

"Yes?"

"I-I'm... genuinely scared..."

Natalie had always been concerned about how Stephen and others worried for her. Yet now, at this critical juncture, she couldn't help but show her genuine fear to her family.

She was truly terrified!

The feeling of darkness was something she never wanted to experience again. She had always protected her eyesight, but things had spiraled to this point despite her efforts.

Did she feel suffocated?

Absolutely.

In her past life, when she opened her eyes, all she encountered was darkness. That moment drove her to madness, instilling profound fear and panic within her.

Yet afterward, she mostly worked on adapting to that darkness.

But this life was different!

The descent into darkness was gradual, making it all the more unbearable for her.

She tasted it only to discover it was ice cream.

Passing it back to her daughter, she said, "Mommy doesn't want it. You shouldn't have too much either."

Since her eyesight deteriorated, Natalie had become particularly cautious about her diet, avoiding spicy and cold foods.

"Mommy."

"Yes?"

"Can we go skateboarding?"

Luna's words grew more understandable lately.

Natalie's heart softened. "Sure."

She got up, allowing herself to be led by her child. Activities like skateboarding were something all children loved to do. She recalled her own childhood days when she loved skateboarding, often accompanied by her foster mother.

"Mommy, come quickly!" Her daughter beckoned, waving her hands. Natalie followed her shadow.

However, for reasons unknown, she stumbled. Unable to see clearly, she lost her balance and leaned forward uncontrollably.
