Love’s Second Act by Alvis Midden

Chapter 50

For Calvin, she no longer desired any involvement, not even for a moment.

Calvin’s expression instantly darkened, thinking. “Now, she’s ready for a divorce at any moment, and even now, she’s laying out the conditions for it.”

Natalie provocatively locked eyes with him.

Despite having given up hope, at this particular moment, she still wanted to see how Calvin would decide. “Yeah, I can apologize, as long as we get divorced!”

Calvin and Natalie stared at each other, engaged in a prolonged standoff.

Suddenly, Calvin burst into laughter, a laughter that seemed inexplicable. “What are you laughing at?” Natalie asked.

“You’re going to such great lengths to get rid of me! Are you that disgusted with me now?”

“From the moment you got involved with Yvette, you should have known that it would lead to this day between us. Why insist any longer?”

“Insist? Is that how I come across to her now? My reluctance has already become a form of pressure in her heart! Just as I suspected… Calvin thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and shifted his gaze to Natalie.

The warmth and patience in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by coldness as he said, “Go apologize.”

Natalie’s heart sank as she realized that he had long since given up on her. Confronting Calvin at this moment, her heart felt as if it had been cast into hell.

She stared at him intensely, her expression fierce!

“Fine!” It was a single word, delivered with a calmness devoid of any emotion.

She turned and began walking toward Yvette’s ward.

Calvin watched her, his heart sinking even deeper as he observed her emotionless back. He had been insisting that she apologize to Yvette all this time,

However, back then, she had consistently refused.

Until this point, it appeared as though he was the one she wanted to avoid.

The door to the ward was pushed open.

Natalie looked at Yvette, who was lying on the bed, immersed in her music with headphones on, and paused for a moment. She instinctively glanced in Calvin’s direction.

Calvin’s gaze had been fixed on Natalie all along.

Natalie’s heart briefly went blank in an instant, and then she was overwhelmed with shock. When she turned around, she found herself meeting Yvette’s radiant eyes.

Those eyes were truly beautiful as if they held a language of their own. They were su expressive and nothing like the eyes of someone who had lost their sight.

Natalie’s breath caught in her throat.

Yelle, on the other hand, was startled when she saw Natalie.

It was approaching midnight, and she clearly hadn’t expected Natalie to visit at this hour. After a moment of irritation, she composed herself, maintaining an indifferent expression that concealed any trace of hatred in her eyes.

Right in front of Natalie, she calmly reached for the white cloth placed on the cabinet and tied it over her eyes.

“You…” Natalie wanted to say something but found herself at a loss for words, her l*ps quivering.

Smash! In the next moment. Yvette swept the water jug from the small cabinet next to the bed, and as it crashed to the floor. she let out a painful scream.

“Ah…”

Natalie remained speechless.

A gust of wind swept by her side as Calvin burst into the hospital ward. At the minute, Yvette was on the floor, her hands. supporting her b*dy, and her palms had been cut by the shards of the water jug. Large drops of blood splattered, painting a distressing and unsettling scene.

Calvin quickly grabbed her hand. “Don’t move!”

“It hurts. It hurts so much!” Yvette whimpered pitifully, her voice filled with a deep sense of distress.

She sought protection like a frightened kitten, and anyone witnessing her vulnerability would find it hard not to feel pity.

Natalie stood frozen, feeling as though she had been struck by lightning. Her heart tightened, especially when she saw Yvette curl up in Calvin’s embrace.

Calvin turned around and bellowed, “Quick, go find a doctor!”

His anger was tinged with urgency.

Natalie, too, snapped back to reality at this moment, her thoughts in turmoil. She stood there, unable to react or move in

any way.

She had harbored suspicions about Yvette before, but actually witnessing it sent a chill through her heart.

Thinking that someone might be plotting against her was one thing, but facing the harsh reality was an entirely different

story!

She took a deep breath.

Calvin, observing her lack of movement, gave her a cold look. “Natalie!”

His words were almost through clenched teeth.

“Calvin, you’re truly blind, utterly blind!” Natalie exclaimed.

Indeed, he was truly blind.

In her previous life, she had remarked that Calvin was blind, but experiencing it once again left her utterly astounded.

Calvin had no intention of getting entangled with Natalie at this moment. He stood up, carrying Yvette, and began to make his way out, clearly intending to find a doctor.

“Wait.

tep out.

Natalie blocked his path just as he was about to step

She looked at Yvette, who was clinging to him, her hand tightly gripping his clothing, seeking protection. Natalie was tense. and her demeanor radiated danger.

Calvin observed her expression closely.

In that moment of eye contact, she… was smiling! But that smile was so mocking, and he instantly understood the reason she had been demanding a divorce during this time.

“Is it Mrs. Jeffords? You can go. I’ll be fine.” Yvette, in his arms, held onto his clothes and spoke gracefully..

However, no matter how proper her tone sounded, Natalie couldn’t help but interpret it as if Yvette was showing off, as if she was graciously returning her husband.

Tll take you to get medical attention first,” he said to Yvette. However, Calvin’s gaze remained fixed on Natalie’s face.

However, Yvette displayed an unusual stubbornness. “I really am fine.”

Even though her eyes were concealed by the white cloth, when she tilted her head slightly toward Natalie, there was an air of triumphant victory that Natalie couldn’t help but sense.

Natalie’s heart constricted at that point.

She reached out to grab the white cloth covering Yvette’s eyes, but Calvin swiftly turned around with Yvette in his arms, leaving her empty-handed.

“What else are you trying to do?” Calvin roared.

His gaze, which had always been gentle toward her, was now filled with anger.

Natalie had been relatively calm since snapping back to her senses, but Yvette’s sudden actions were overwhelming!

The stimulation had driven her to lose her rationality. She screamed hysterically at Calvin, ‘She’s faking it! She’s not blind at all”

She had never been this angry before, but at this juncture, she was completely unhinged and consumed by fury.

All her awareness was screaming wildly in her heart, ‘Yvette was faking it. This woman was pretending! Then what retina from my previous life? She hadn’t needed it at all…”

Natalie had never believed there could be such malicious and repugnant people in the world, but at this instant. previous perceptions were shattered.

She had once thought that the Jeffords family was the most terrifying, but now, looking at Yvette in Calvin’s arms, a w who appeared so comforting she couldn’t help but cry out in her heart. “How could she? She isn’t blind.”

“Natalie! The words were almost forced through Calvin’s clenched teeth as he looked at her with a warning-filled gaze.

my

Nevertheless, Natalie disregarded the warning and lunged forward to remove the white cloth from Yvette’s eyes. Today, she was determined to make Calvin ser just how blind he really was

Yet, at the very moment of her pounce, a heavy slap struck her face

Her balance was disrupted, causing her to st agger to the side, where her forehead collided with the wall with a thud.

Her head was buzzing!
