Chapter 588 The Pain of Treatment

“Well, I think we can consider surgery…” Natalie said.

Cedric replied, “Mr. Larkin has treated over a hundred cases of severe patients like you and has

excellent experience. Trust me.”

Trust him?

Natalie sneered.

Cedric fell silent. Watching her reaction, he couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy, but he couldn’t blame

her.

After all, the situation they were in now was mostly caused by him. Cedric didn’t say anything to defend

himself.

In her heart, he had let her down repeatedly when she needed him the most, and her lack of trust was

completely understandable.

It was the consequences of one’s actions, as they say.

Cedric was now tasting the bitterness he had brought upon himself.

In the courtyard, the scent of traditional medicine permeated the air.

Over the years, being around Heather had given Natalie enough experience to recognize the aroma of

these herbs.

This time, the medicine was very bitter.

At lunchtime, a bowl of medicine was handed to Natalie.

“Take your medicine first.” Cedric’s tone was gentle, as if he wanted to present all his kindness to

Natalie.

Once, he had hurt her deeply.

Now, he seemed determined to make amends for everything.

“Do you know how long I have to take this medicine?” Natalie asked.

When she was with Heather, she had been forced to take these medicines without knowing when it

would end.

Natalie felt fed up with the constant regimen but couldn’t break free from it.

Whenever she resisted, she would be met with Heather’s worried gaze. Ultimately, she

+15 BONUS

No matter how bitter the medicine was, she had to take it in front of Heather. Even at the office, Lydia

and Xyla would bring it to her, and she had to drink it there. Heather would show up at the company if

she didn’t, ready to watch her drink it.

At that time, she didn’t understand why Heather, her aunt, was so concerned about her.

Later,

she finally understood that only true family members would worry about her so much and care for her

that way.

“Ugh…!”

As she took a sip, Natalie groaned sharply.

Indeed, it was truly bitter!

Cedric asked, “Is it very bitter?”

The man’s eyes were full of distress as he watched her struggle.

Natalie’s forehead was already covered in cold sweat, indicating the intensity of the bitterness. It was

more bitter than any medicine Heather had given her before.

“It’s too bitter.” Natalie took a deep breath.

It was not just bitter.

It was unbelievably bitter…!

“Open your mouth,” Cedric said.

What?

“Just open it!”

Despite crying, Natalie opened her mouth. In an instant, a piece of sweet rock sugar was placed in her

mouth, relieving the bitterness and making her feel much better.

However, it was still uncomfortable.

“Mr. Larkin said you need to take it for at least half a month. But judging by your condition, it will

probably take about two months to make a full recovery!”

Two months?!

Adding the over twenty days they had already spent here meant a total of three months!

And he….

“I’ll wait and watch you get better,” Cedric said bitterly before Natalie could continue her thoughts.

+15 BONUS

Natalie fell silent.

Watch her get better?

So, would Cedric really do as he had said previously?

Was he really following through with it?

Was he truly going to stay by her side and witness her recovery?

But in Natalie’s heart, the current situation in Wexford had become unclear over the past. twenty days!

Now, he still wanted to accompany her for two more months?

What would happen in those two months?

Before she could speak, she heard Cedric continue, “It depends on your progress. If things don’t go

smoothly, it might take up to half a year!”

Natalie remained silent.

Upon hearing this, she stiffened instantly. Two months was already a long time, but the possibility of

half a year…?

“Nat, no matter how long it takes, I’ll stay with you until you recover!”

Each

Each word from the man was resolute.

Natalie’s heart sank

“Kayla just got out of the hospital, right?” Natalie got straight to the point. Even at this stage, her tone

was still filled with mockery when talking to Cedric.

Kayla had recently been seriously ill, yet now he wanted to accompany Natalie for an extended period?

Could he really afford it?

“Yes.”

“In that case, can you afford to stay with me for such a long time?”

Indeed! Could he afford it?

After

all, it was such a long time.

“No matter how much time it takes, at least this time, I’ll be by your side,” Cedric replied.

“You really dare to say that!”

She didn’t believe that with the current situation in Wexford, he could truly stay here for a

+15 BONUS

In fact, Natalie could sense it.

Even though Cedric was by her side, he was constantly busy with matters in Wexford.

“Take your medicine first.”

Cedric didn’t want to continue this topic.

In the past, he owed Natalie something. So, he would lose something for her sake this time!

But if he could lose something to make up for it, he didn’t mind those losses.

He just hoped that she would be well.

This was what Cedric was thinking now. No matter what happened, he wanted Natalie to get

better.

“It’s so bitter!” Natalie felt that there must be rhubarb in this medicine.

No, it was even more bitter than rhubarb!

She really thought that this medicine was too bitter.

“Hang in there a bit longer, okay?” Cedric said.

Looking at her little face involuntarily wrinkled in pain, he felt quite uneasy. If those things hadn’t

happened, Natalie wouldn’t need to endure this bitterness now.

But there were no ‘ifs‘ in this world.

What happened had happened, and there was no going back.

Even though Cedric came from another timeline, he also knew that some things that have happened

were destined and couldn’t be undone.

Even if one returned to a time before it happened, one couldn’t change the trajectory of certain events.

After all that had happened, Cedric understood these things.

The medicine…

was truly hitter!

After drinking it, Cedric keenly felt that Natalie was shaking all over. She had always been

delicate, but Cedric also knew that she wouldn’t have this expression if it hadn’t reached an unbearable

point.

He took a sip.

Ugh!

Even he felt that the medicine was really bitter!

“Have another piece of sugar” Cedric placed a piece of rock sugar in Natalie’s mouth.

It was yellow rock sugar, which had a slightly better taste than normal rock sugar.

It could also relieve bitterness.

However, the taste of this bitterness lingered in Natalie’s mouth, even with the sugar.

+15 BONUS

Moreover, she had to take this medicine for a long two months, which was a conservative estimate.

If things didn’t go smoothly, it would possibly even take half a year!

Thinking about this timeframe, Natalie felt like there was no light at the end of this dark

tunnel.
