Opening My Eyes to Reality のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 531 - チャプター 540

"Natalie, try to eat something. Susan needs you right now, so you need to take care of yourself first," Rowan said.Natalie stared blankly at the bowl of pumpkin oatmeal in Rowan's hands. It was still steaming, and it looked delicious, but she had no appetite whatsoever.Still, she knew he meant well, and so she took the bowl from him and began shoveling the oatmeal into her mouth.Seeing this, Rowan quickly grabbed the spoon from her hand. "Don't do this, Natalie."But she didn't respond. She merely snatched the spoon back and continued to stuff the oatmeal into her mouth while her eyes were fixed blankly on the bowl.Rowan frowned, his heart aching for her. "Natalie, don't torture yourself like this."Natalie had shoved so much into her mouth that her face flushed red, but she kept swallowing frantically until she couldn't take any more and vomited everything out.At the same time, her tears burst forth. "I hate myself. Do you know how much I hate myself? I'd rather be the one

There was a lush green lawn behind the inpatient wing of the hospital, with a few benches for resting nearby. Natalie, still holding Rowan's hand, led him to one and sat down.Fallen leaves danced at their feet, stirred by the breeze.Across the street was a restaurant. The scent of food drifted over, carried on the wind, but the smell only made Natalie's stomach churn.She instinctively touched the ring on her ring finger. Rowan had personally slid the ring onto her finger three years ago, and since then, she had been wearing it. She'd never planned on taking it off in this lifetime either.But now…Her hand rested on her lap, the diamond digging into her leg. Every sliver of discomfort was another reminder. She slowly hooked her arm through his and leaned against his shoulder like she always did. The sunlight stretched their shadows out in front of them, tangled together into one. Her throat tightened with a sob."Rowan," Natalie whispered, drawing a deep breath.The ring du

Rowan leaned against the window ledge, one hand in his pocket. His cold eyes held a chill that stretched endlessly within them."Natalie hasn't met with any outsiders today, but I checked her call records. There was a call from an unknown number—it was from Jason," Landon reported.Jason?Rowan's grip on his phone tightened until his knuckles cracked. So… Jason definitely had something to do with why Natalie suddenly wanted a divorce.His fingers turned white from the pressure, and his voice was chillingly cold. "Find out what Jason is up to. Also, other than the domestic black market, have Magnus look into other options abroad, too. Nothing can happen to Susan.""I'll get on it right away."With Natalie and Rowan both at the hospital taking care of Susan, Bella and Landon were the ones watching the kids lately.Rowan turned to look out the window. The weather was gloomy, with steady rain pattering down.Just then, he received a message from Rowley."How's Grandma? Has she wok

At the same time, Rowan's phone rang. It was Landon.His voice was urgent. "Mr. Rowan, Jason's kidney is a match for Ms. Watson…"Rowan's gaze snapped toward the direction where Jason had disappeared. Everything made sense now. No wonder Jason was so brazenly arrogant. No wonder Natalie wanted a divorce.Noticing his silence, Landon asked worriedly, "Mr. Rowan, are you okay?"Rowan's brows furrowed tightly. A metallic taste rose in his throat. "Any news from Magnus?""Not yet, mainly because the timeframe is too short. It's just too difficult to find a suitable match within three days. Who would've thought Jason would be a match?"Landon's voice had dropped at the end, unsure whether this was good or bad news for Rowan."That's all for now," Rowan said.…Meanwhile, Natalie took Jason for the crossmatch test. While waiting, he sat on the bench, tilting his head up to look at her."Rowan's agreed to the divorce?"Natalie's expression was blank. She didn't even want to spare h

"I didn't call you because of that," Natalie said.Benjamin's curiosity was piqued. What could be more urgent than that right now?That was when he heard Natalie say, "I want to transfer all my assets and shares to Rowan. Please take care of that for me."Benjamin was stunned. "It's that urgent?"He knew she had been considering this for a while. After all, the startup capital for RN Group had originally come from Rowan's private funds. Still, was now really the time to handle that?Natalie didn't explain further. "Yes, as soon as possible. Better yet, get the process completed within the next two days."Benjamin had a bad feeling, sensing that there was something more to this request. He probed gently, "Natalie, are you hiding something from me?""You go take care of it first. We'll talk later."She clearly didn't want to elaborate, so Benjamin didn't press further. She was a smart cookie. She clearly had her reasons for doing this."Okay. I'll tell you when it's done," Benja
