All Chapters of Opening My Eyes to Reality: Chapter 341 - Chapter 350

Even Magnus, usually cool and collected, couldn't hide his shock. "The Misty Woods to the north of Southwald? I heard even eagles get lost in those woods!"The only reason Landon hadn't moved out to search for Natalie was so he could set up a professional search-and-rescue team. After all, the Misty Woods was, by no means, ordinary. He nodded. "That's right. According to the locals, no one has ever made it out of the Misty Woods alive. Even compasses stop working in those woods. Mr. Mattel, you should leave the search for Natalie to me and Magnus."Go back to the hospital and wait for updates. Things could get dangerous, and I'm worried your body may not cope with the journey."There was no changing Rowan's mind after it was made up. "And what, I'd stay alive if I go back to the hospital?"Landon and Magnus fell silent at this. The former frowned and tried to reason with Rowan, but Magnus beat him to speaking. "Landon, let Mr. Mattel go on the search. We don't want him to have an

Blame him? Natalie wanted nothing more than to kill Jason. Her clenched fists began to sweat. "What do you think?"Jason knew better than to delude himself otherwise, but he refused to admit he was wrong, let alone take the blame.He tried to reason with Natalie instead, like it was her fault she'd gone blind. He pulled her into his arms. "Anesthetics come with side effects. That's the whole point of signing a waiver before they let you in for surgery, right?"You've always been weak, but I didn't think the anesthetics would affect you this way, either. But don't worry, Natalie, because even if you can't see or draw or live independently, you'll still have me. I won't leave you."Jason, like the pervert that he was, kissed the soft strands of her hair as he continued, "I'm the only person in this world who'll stay by your side. No one else can love you like I do."Natalie thought she might throw up. Every second she spent with a twisted lunatic like him felt like weeks and years.

Natalie's eyes widened, and her lashes fluttered as her thoughts came to a still.The lights on the nightstand had been dimmed to a warm, yellow glow. The amber hues bounced off the chains bound to Natalie's wrists when Jason moved to hover over her earlier, and a silver arc flickered across them.She tensed when his fingertips grazed her, only for her skin to brush against the shadows his long lashes had cast over his cheekbones.The faint scent of pine clung to the air, courtesy of the candle that had just been put out, mixing with the lingering smell of tobacco on Jason's collar. Together, the scents were like a net slowly closing in.Jason braced his weight on his arm. Less than a hand's breadth separated him from the woman he'd pinned under him. "Natalie, another man has left his scent on you. Let me clean it up for you."Natalie's breath hitched. All the blood drained from her face. She knew what Jason meant and understood why he'd said such a thing.His breathing grew heav

The group of men barged into the room to find the window broken and the woman on the bed missing. They didn't need to be geniuses to figure out that Natalie had escaped through the window.Panic set in, and someone pointed out frantically, "She escaped! Ms. Sutton actually escaped!"The man leading the group kicked the subordinate. "Do I look like I'm blind to you, asshole? I can see that she's escaped! What are you guys standing here for? Bring her back before Mr. Mattel returns!""Yes, sir!"The man swore aloud, "Damn it, if she escapes, we'll be dead! Go after her!"It wasn't long before they hurtled through the gaping hole in the window and ran down what they presumed was Natalie's escape route.About a minute later, Natalie crawled out from under the bed after she'd made sure the room was empty. She felt her way to the door and deliberately tossed a pebble into the corridor. When she didn't hear or sense anything in response, she mustered her courage and bolted out.She had

Jason stood at the front of the group, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he applauded. He approached Natalie and Rowan, but the latter had already pulled her behind him.Jason sneered as he stopped several feet away from the couple. "Uncle Rowan, shouldn't you be waiting for death in the hospital instead of running into these woods to steal my woman? Your strength is admirable—that much I'll say."Rowan stood his ground, the air around him growing cold and tense. He was intimidating without trying to be, and for a moment, he didn't seem human. Instead, he was like a depthless, treacherous ocean. One didn't need to test him to know he was dangerous."I'll drag you into hell with me before I die," was all Rowan said.A contemptuous laugh escaped Jason. "Arrogant as ever, I see. I wonder where you get the nerve, Rowan. Your time's running out, yet you dare venture into these woods to challenge me. I'll show you how I plan to take your wife for myself. Shall I give you a live perfo
