All Chapters of Opening My Eyes to Reality: Chapter 351 - Chapter 360

For a moment, Natalie was at a loss. Landon was still talking, but to her, his voice was nothing more than a dull, distant hum.She sat frozen in that numb posture, unaware when the pouring rain outside had stopped. A shaft of sunlight fell across her face, but it couldn't reach the emptiness in her eyes.In a daze, she lifted her hand to her cheek. Her skin was cold, her muscles stiff, and her heartbeat so slow it felt like it might simply stop.It wasn't until Landon spoke again that she jolted back, though her expression remained hollow, and her eyes were lifeless like ashes waiting to be blown away.It turned out that Landon's capture had been part of their plan all along. The moment Magnus, Landon, and Rowan entered the Misty Woods, blind to its terrain, Rowan knew finding her quickly was nearly impossible. So, he'd baited Jason and lured him into exposing Natalie's location.While Landon was caught, Magnus and Rowan watched from the shadows and overheard Jason's men report

When Jason was pulled out alive, Gregory wasted no time and ordered a helicopter to send him abroad for treatment.According to Landon, Jason was the apple of Gregory's eye right now and was protected like a national treasure. Not even a mosquito could get close, let alone take revenge.Magnus, however, seemed deeply troubled. He was constantly hunting for an opening and a chance to avenge Rowan.Days slipped by, and soon, a month elapsed.Natalie's damaged optic nerve had healed with her sight restored, but her eyes had paid a price for too much crying. Too many nights of tears had left them sensitive to bright light, and any exposure would cause a sharp, stinging pain.After leaving the hospital, she sent Susan home to Grendale with Bella and Benjamin. Velmont was too dangerous for them, after all.Instead of leaving with them, she returned to Rowan's apartment in Grendale, or rather, her apartment now.While she'd been admitted to the hospital, his lawyer had found her. Rowan

Before Natalie could finish, the anxious Landon immediately cut her off, "I'll be there in ten minutes."With that, he hung up the call before she could say more.Natalie wasted no time grabbing her ID and bag before heading out. Landon was just as quick and pulled up at her door moments after she arrived.He hurriedly helped her into the car, and the second they arrived at the hospital, he began shouting, "Help! I've got a patient here!"Doubled over in pain, Natalie still managed to cut him off, "Landon… obstetrics.""Obstetrics? Oh, sure…" Then, as if a thought struck him, his head whipped toward her, and his widened eyes fixed on her stomach. "You mean…"Overwhelmed with shock and joy, Landon didn't bother to consider if grabbing her was deemed improper. He was barely thinking when he swept her into his arms and sprinted to the obstetrics ward.By the time they crashed into the specialist's office, he was drenched in sweat, and his voice broke with urgency. "Quick, check her

Pamela froze. Natalie's tone was calm, but the truth inside her words struck like thunder. It was such a simple truth, but why hadn't she understood that?If Pamela had just had half of Natalie's clarity back then, perhaps she would've had the courage to stay by Rowan's side after learning about his strange illness. But she hadn't been brave enough, and that was how she lost the one man who mattered the most.Before she left, she gave Natalie a long, thoughtful look. In her eyes flickered envy, jealousy, and recognition.When Pamela was gone, Natalie began to pack. Now that she was expecting, she couldn't afford to stay in Velmont alone. All the debts and grudges would have to wait until after the baby was born safely.This was Rowan's child, so she would protect it with her life.Natalie's flight was that afternoon. She made herself lunch, though she'd been unusually tired lately, maybe because of the pregnancy. Thankfully, the baby was kind to her, and she was spared from any

Magnus took the punch hard, with blood trickling from the corner of his lips.Landon was truly furious now. He grabbed Magnus by the collar and yelled, "Have you lost your damn mind! Natalie went to the Mattel residence to save you, pregnant, and you have the nerve to shout at her! "Apologize to her now, or we're no longer friends."In fact, Magnus had regretted it right after his outburst. He hung his head and was too ashamed to look at Natalie. "I wasn't mad at you, Natalie. I'm mad at myself for failing and being so useless that I can't even avenge Mr. Mattel.""How could you think of yourself that way?" Natalie asked in reply.Magnus pressed his lips tight and said nothing, and she walked over to clap him on the shoulder. "I will avenge Rowan, but now's not the time. Gregory knows exactly what we're thinking of, and he's got guards from Central Southelia protecting Jason."If we strike now, we'll likely fail and get ourselves killed. I know you're not afraid to die, but if y
