Ch. 431..440
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 431-Luna is Missing Why did they get together in the first place?
Wasn’t it because of this deal?
Hence, Bianca naturally hoped that what she offered would benefit Zane.
She was a lawyer. Since it was a transaction, fairness was naturally important to her.
“Alright then, I’ll do my best to keep Malcolm occupied during this time!” Bianca’s words were sharp and deliberate Indeed.
The scene she caused at the hospital was excessive. However, it was to infuriate Malcolm and keep him confined there.
Zane’s already deep eyes seemed even more profound as he looked at Bianca. He said, “Stop provoking him!” After all, Malcolm was dangerous. Who knew what trouble might ensue if Bianca continued to act this way?
Bianca was indifferent. “I want this to end quickly.” It wasn’t about her wanting things to wrap up soon. It was about Malcolm meeting his end sooner rather than later!
She wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
Everything she was doing now was to overthrow Malcolm.
Once, the power in that man’s hands rendered her powerless, chaining her like a prisoner.
Now, she wanted to break those chains!
Suddenly, there was a force on the back of her head. The man’s long fingers gently grazed her fair chin.
“Information about Frederick’s was enough. You don’t need to do anything else.” “You… Bianca struggled, but the man’s grip was firm.
At this moment, they were so close. His warm breath brushed against her cheek, causing her to tremble. Her heart raced uncontrollably, uld react, he released her and said in a deep and solemn voice, “Bianca, you’re a Mit not sharp enough to protect yourself?
A sharp blade?
Was he referring to her entangling herself in all of this?
With the commotion she caused recently, Malcolm would easily detect something amiss once everything settled down She… wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if that happened.
Bianca understood Zane’s implication instantly. She tried to speak, but Zane interrupted, “Are you really risking your life against him like this?” Bianca remained silent.
Risking her life?
Yes… Back when she couldn’t break free from Malcolm’s oppression, she had sworn to herself that if she ever got a chance, she would drag him down with her!
“Lord Zane…” “Be good and stay in the villa for now. Don’t do anything” Be good?
At this moment, his words lacked warmth, yet they provided Bianca with a sense of reliance.
At this moment, Bianca suddenly recalled why she became best friends with Natalie.
What was the reason?
It was because both of them had nothing and only had each other to cherish!
From as far back as she could remember, she had no one to rely on. Even when her grandmother was around, all her earnings went towards her grandmother’s medical bills.
In the end, her grandmother passed away…!
She had never depended on anyone. No matter how dire the situation, she always found a way to handle things on her own But now…!
Gazing at the cold and noble man before her, her heart trembled fiercely.
The years of toughness and determination in her eyes seemed to waver a bit.
Ever since Cedric mentioned wanting to use Luna for Kayla’s surgery, Natalie hadn’t returned to Peach Garden However, that didn’t mean things between her and Cedric had ended.
While Natalie was relaxing in the living room, the servant responsible for Luna rushed in, his face filled with panic.
“Miss! Miss! Miss Luna is missing!” Natalie set down her book, looking puzzled at the servant.
What was going on?
“She was playing in the garden just moments ago, and now she’s gone. We’ve searched.
everywhere!” The servant was on the verge of tears.
At that moment, panic surged in Natalie’s heart.
Luna was… missing from home?!
She quickly rushed out. At Lotus Villa, chaos reigned as every servant searched for the child.
“Pull up the surveillance!” Natalie shouted.
How could Luna just disappear like that?
Just then, Agnes hurried over. “Miss, Miss Luna has been kidnapped!” Natalie was speechless, and her eyes widened.
Luna had been kidnapped?!
By whom?
She hurried to the surveillance room and saw Luna being carried away by a man in a suit.
Even though half of the man’s face was concealed by sunglasses, Natalie recognized him instantly It was Kyle!
It was one of Cedric’s men…!
Gedric. I At that moment, Natalie felt her vision darken.
could he?!
Meanwhile, Luna had been taken to the identification center. Kyle carried the child directly to Cedric, who didn’t even spare Luna a glance.
In a deep tone, Cedric said, “Proceed with the matching test.” “Alright. Look after her for a bit, sir. I’ll arrange everything, Kyle responded promptly.
Without waiting for Cedric’s reaction, Kyle placed the crying child in front of him.
The tes face indicated the distress Luna had faced on her way.
Seeing those tearful eyes made Cedric feel irritated. Since the child belonged to Caleb, he didn’t want to give her another thought.
“Sob, sob…!” After Kyle left, Luna’s cries intensified in the unfamiliar surroundings. She was filled with grievance and fear.
Cedric was irritated by her crying.
“Stop crying!” Cedric commanded.
“Mommy…” Luna cried louder, reminding Cedric of Natalie’s face.
Hadn’t Natalie also cried a lot in the past?
But when did she stop shedding tears?
No matter what happened in her world, she never cried. Her resilience was infuriating “No crying!” Cedric tried to suppress his rising anger.
But Luna was not yet two years old and sensitive to emotions. She felt Cedric’s restrained fury and continued wailing.
“Mommy! Mommy! What started as a soft cry escalated into a frantic scream.
Cedric fell silent.
His head throbbed from the noise.
Finally, he lifted the crying child from the ground. He took note of her beautifully long eyelashes adomed with tears. It made her look pitiful indeed.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 432-A Chilling Decision Just then, his phone rang.
It was Natalie!
Cedric immediately hung up. Yet, the caller seemed frantic, continuously calling back!
Finally, Cedric answered. “Hello” “Cedric !” Natalie’s voice came through, a mix of anger and restrained emotion evident.
Even through the phone, the tremble in her voice was obvious.
Clearly, this child meant everything to her.
Was it because of Irwin?
Back in Verde City, everyone knew how Irwin had protected her. Did she feel indebted to Irwin and thus show extra affection to this child?
“Where is my child?” Natalie’s voice held a suppressed urgency.
From the background, there was the clinking of medical equipment. It was evident that upon learning someone had taken Luna, Natalie had rushed to the hospital where Kayla was.
However, neither Kayla nor Cedric was there This caused Natalie to panic!
“Nat, let’s talk after this is settled,” Cedric said in an unusually calm voice.
He glanced at the child in his arms. Luna was exhausted from crying and had fallen asleep. Her peaceful face looked oddly familiar.
On the other end of the call, Natalie’s heart raced upon hearing Cedric’s words.
“Cedric, you know what Isabella means to me. Yet, you’re using Luna to save her daughter?” At that moment, Natalie’s tone was icy, more cutting than ever How heartless could Cedric be?!
Cedric replied, “You don’t need to involve Bella in this matter!” novelbin But Kayla is her daughter You’re the one who insisted on dragging us into this! What is the meaning of this?!” Natalie shot back.
She involved Isabella?!
+1680 +15 BONUS Did Cedric think she was being petty?
Cedric closed his eyes, suppressing the weight in his heart. “Nat, you know I didn’t mean it that way.
“Where are you both?” Natalie’s voice was filled with frustration. She didn’t care about Cedric’s intentions. Luna had been taken, and they wanted to use her for Kayla’s surgery!
How could she bear it?!
No one understood how deeply Natalie wished to destroy Cedric at this moment Indeed, Natalie wished nothing more than to obliterate him right now.
“After this is settled, you can kill me or do as you please,” Cedric said, preparing to end the call.
However, Natalie erupted in a wild, hysterical tone, “Cedric, I’ll make sure she dies!” Natalie was referring to Kayla.
Cedric’s grip on his phone tightened.
The call, initially meant to be disconnected, paused abruptly due to the sharpness in Natalie’s Voice.
Cedric could hear how heavy his own breathing was Natalie continued in a strained voice, “I swear if you dare harm Luna, I’ll ensure she suffers just as much!” Was she threatening him?
Indeed, she was threatening Cedric The chilling severity in her voice lacked any warmth. Cedric could tell that she wasn’t joking.
Given the current Natalie, her words held the weight of action behind them.
He took a deep breath, closing his eyes.
“When it’s over,” Cedric responded from the other end of the line.
Without waiting for Natalie’s retort, Cedric ended the call.
Over?
Once it was over, regardless of the consequences, he’d bear them all. But at this moment, Kayla’s life hung in the balance.
He couldn’t afford to consider much else.
He was painfully aware that if any harm befell the child in his arms, Natalie would never forgive him.
As for how much Natalie owed Isabella, she might not even know herself But just this once….
Yes, just this once…!
Not long after ending the call, Kyle returned.
He glanced worriedly at Cedric, then instinctively at the child in Cedric’s arms.
The resemblance was undeniable.
“Your Excellency “Is everything arranged?” “Yes, sir.” “Proceed,” Cedric replied calmly.
Kyle hesitated, his gaze searching Cedric’s. But Cedric’s eyes revealed nothing.
Could it be that he failed to see the obvious resemblance in the child’s face?
“Your Excellency,” Kyle’s tone became tense.
Cedric asked, “What is it?” “Can’t you see the resemblance in this child’s face?” Kyle’s voice trailed off, his entire demeanor tensing.
Cedric furrowed his brow. “What are you implying?” Clearly, Cedric was oblivious to Kyle’s implications. Though the child’s features felt oddly familiar, he saw nothing more.
It was often said that people remain blind to their own affairs.
Many saw shades of Cedric in the child, but Cedric himself remained oblivious.
“This child looks a lot like you,” Kyle remarked.
Cedric was silent.
4–ike him?
Impossible.
his child was the offspring of Natalie and Caleb. He felt a chill running through him.
+15 BONUS Kyle knew Cedric held hatred toward Caleb because of this. Yet now…!
“Could this be the child from two years ago?” Indeed, two years prior!
Back then, when Natalie was imprisoned, Cedric had received news of her pregnancy. What had he done then?
Memories flooded back, suffocating him.
In light of Kyle’s words, Cedric lowered his gaze to the child in his arms again. He had to admit that the child’s nose and the shape of her eyes while asleep had an uncanny resemblance… Especially the nose…!
He felt like he was suffocating.
“This must be fate, Cedric said with a bitter smile, recalling the paternity test he had conducted on this child However, thinking of that result choked Cedric even more inside.
Sensing Cedric’s turmoil, Kyle ventured, “Could Madam have tampered with the previous paternity test results?” “What are you implying?” The thought that Natalie might have tampered with the previous report sent shivers down Cedric’s spine Kyle suggested, “Since we’re here, why not conduct another test?” Indeed, they were here!
Why not witness it firsthand?
Cedric observed the child. She was so fragile, with traces of tears on her face. He had to admit that the child bore a striking resemblance to Natalie But if Kyle claimed there was a hint of him in the child’s features, then could it be…?
“Do it,” Cedric finally said.
No one could fathom the tumultuous emotions swirling within Cedric as he uttered those two words.
If this child was his and Natalie’s…!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 433-No One Dares Operate for Him Natalie was frantic, seemingly ready to turn the entire Simeria upside down in her search for the hospital where Kayla had been previously admitted.
She had taken her team there. Yet, there was no sign of either Kayla or Luna.
Cedric’s phone was ringing incessantly on the other end, but after ending the call, he never picked up again.
Soon, his phone went straight to voicemail.
“The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable,” the cold, automated voice informed.
Natalie It drove her to the brink of despair.
Just as she disconnected the call, Clyde’s call came through.
She answered, her voice choked with emotion, “Cly.” novelbin She hadn’t expected Cedric to do things so forcefully. He was willing to do anything for Isabella and her daughter.
She hadn’t anticipated this move from him, but in hindsight, she should have!
“Come back immediately!” “But you…” “All exits are sealed, and medical assistance here has been cut off. No one dares to operate for him!
No one dares?
If it were anyone else, Natalie might have taken it with a grain of salt. But this was Cedric they were talking about. Was there anything he couldn’t do?
She remembered the past when he had forcefully taken her to the operating table.
Could he possibly do the same to Luna in this lifetime?
The thought made Natalie’s heart ache. Her vision darkened, and her entire b*dy trembled uncontrollably.
Cly, Luna must be safe,” she managed to say, her voice quivering.
Yes, Luna had to be safe! No matter what, nothing could happen to her!
She will be came the firm reply from the other end.
But regardless of Clyde’s reassurances, Natalie couldn’t shake off her fears. If Cedric had Kyle take Luna away, he must have planned everything meticulously beforehand.
“Has he already taken them out of Simeria?” The mere thought sent Natalie spiraling into despair. If Cedric had planned to leave Simeria with both children for Kayla’s operation from the start, who could stop him once he was out?
I’ve checked all the records, and there’s nothing!” Nothing?
Clyde checked everything?
Despite all assurances, Natalie couldn’t trust anyone, especially not when it came to Luna.
She was consumed by fear!
Without realizing how she disconnected Clyde’s call, Natalie frantically dialed Cedric’s number repeatedly while making her way in and out of hospitals.
She didn’t dare return home. The dread of receiving devastating news about Luna made her fear setting foot there.
So what if he had come from their previous life like Nat Cedric remained as ruthless as ever.
Whenever something related to Isabella happened, his bias toward that woman was clear as day.
He claimed he went to great lengths to find Natalie, as if his feelings for her were so deep.
Now, looking at it, who had he really come for?
Cedric had really convinced himself that this had happened because his feelings for Natalie were so deep, huh?
But now.
Ultimately, he still targeted her with that sharp edge when something related to Isabella happened!
[She’s your daughter! You can’t harm her!] Natalie finally admitted it in a text message.
She couldn’t find Cedric, and his phone was still turned off. She hoped against hope that he would see her messages.
If there was an ounce of care for his daughter, he would cease everything.
But at this moment, a question arose in Natalie’s heart.
bella beld such significance in his heart, then who was more important?
His own daughter, or Isabella’s?
The answer became clear in Natalie’s mind, shaking her to her core!
“Cedric!” She whispered the name, feeling a surge of hatred.
Whether Luna was safe or not, she would make Cedric pay.
She hated him!
She despised him!
On Cedric’s end, as Natalie suspected, he had prepared meticulously from the beginning when he planned to take the child away.
Now, he watched the chaotic scene outside with an icy calmness.
Kyle approached, “Both reports have been done.” He referred to the paternity test and the matching test.
“Alright,” Cedric responded tersely.
Kyle glanced at him, hesitating to speak. In matters concerning Luna, he felt Cedric had never truly trusted Natalie.
Or perhaps, this situation highlighted how fragile their trust was.
“What about the child?” Cedric asked just as Kyle turned away.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 434-Don’t Eat Food from Strangers Time continued to tick away relentlessly Because of Cedric’s thorough preparations, the Jarvis family couldn’t find any trace of the child.
Luna wasn’t here.
There was no trace of her!
Natalie had scoured every hospital in Simeria, her appearance growing more disheveled with each passing moment. She resembled a madwoman lost in despair.
As she exited yet another hospital in disappointment, Irwin’s car was parked outside He stepped out and saw Natalie’s disheveled state, devoid of any semblance of composure.
Her appearance radiated sheer desperation. If she had to sacrifice herself at this moment to ensure Luna’s safety, she wouldn’t hesitate, right?” With frantic fingers, she dialed Cedric’s number repeatedly. Upon hearing his phone switched off, she sent messages, acknowledging Luna’s identity and even making a final plea.
[I’ll be the donor. I’ll save her!] Deep down, the desperation she felt when sending that message was unfathomable She had compromised.
She had!
Even though she was disgusted with everything related to Isabella, she finally submitted to him… All for the sake of ensuring Cedric wouldn’t harm Luna!
Meanwhile, Cedric received the test results.
“Your Excellency,” Kyle spoke with a grave expression, holding up the conclusive results.
Luna was indeed Cedric’s daughter, and the compatibility between her and Kayla had been confirmed.
As Cedric’s eyes scanned the paternity report, emotions of tenderness and conflict flashed across his eyes.
When had that woman started to lie to him so blatantly?
Currently, Luna was on the hospital bed and had cried herself to sleep again Observing the innocent face of the sleeping child, Cedric’s gaze softened even more.
“Has she been tested for physical compatibility?” he asked, voice laced with concern. Though organ donation posed minimal risks to a healthy donor, Luna appeared so fragile. Ultimately, it was still a surgery. Now, even more so, Cedric couldn’t afford any mishaps!
When Kyle heard Cedric’s question, he… couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Natalie.
The question indicated Cedric’s decision. Even knowing Luna was his child, he still chose her to save Kayla “In the past three days, whenever she’s awake, she’s crying. She hardly eats anything,” Kyle responded gravely. His words hinted that despite the child’s good care at the Jarvis residence, the recent days had taken a toll on her.
Luna’s health wasn’t particularly good now, and making the decision to proceed with surgery on her was unwise Cedric’s voice grew heavy, “She hasn’t eaten anything?” Kyle lowered his head, hiding the turmoil in his eyes. “The nurses tried, but the child just kept crying.” Upon hearing this, a chill emanated from Cedric Throughout the wait, he had avoided seeing Luna, clearly reluctant to witness her distress. Yet, upon learning she hadn’t eaten, he approached her.
Luna sat on the bed, trembling from exhaustion, likely from crying too much. The nurse tried to coax her, “Sweetheart, just take a bite. You need to eat.” At this rate. Luna would starve to death.
Seeing Cedric, the nurse stood up and greeted him formally, “Mr. Johnson.” Cedric ignored the nurse and moved closer. He stretched out his hand, and the nurse placed a bowl into his hands.
He sat down and glanced at its contents. It was filled with food that was suitable for young children, and he didn’t know if it was suited to Luna’s taste. After all, judging from how much the Jarvis family treasured her, they must have taken exceptional care of her.
Scooping up a spoonful, he brought it to Luna’s l*ps. “Come on, open up.” However, Luna cried even harder, resisting the spoon with surprising strength for such a small frame “Stop crying. Finish your meal, and I’ll take you to see your mother,” Cedric said gently “I want my mommy!” Luna sobbed But Cedric continued, “No food, no visit.” Luna looked up at him with wary eyes, clearly distrustful!
Even at her young age, she must have inherited her guarded demeanor from Natalie.
“Open up.” Cedric urged.
He wasn’t accustomed to children. Kayla was different. She relied on him!
He tried to be gentle, especially with the wary look in Luna’s eyes, but found himself lost.
“Please eat,” he said as gently as possible.
He wanted to coax the little girl before him. She… was his daughter!
He suddenly realized that he was really a father.novelbin Yet Luna remained silent, avoiding the food!
“Luna,” Cedric began.
“Grandma said not to eat food from strangers,” Luna said, interrupting him.
“I’m not a stranger, I’m…” Cedric’s voice choked, unable to finish.
Could he say he was her father?
Luna had no memory of ever having one..
“I want my mommy,” Luna sobbed again, No one truly understood the kind of torment this place had been for her these past three days. Especially at night, her yearning intensified, and the nurses took turns trying to soothe her.
The nurses were nearing their breaking point, constantly on edge. Whenever they closed their eyes, they felt they could hear Luna’s cries, causing them to question their sanity.
“Luna, let’s eat first, okay?” Cedric tried to speak patiently, but Luna wailed loudly.
I want my mommy! I want my mommy!” Her persistence revealed the nurses‘ struggles over the past few days. Luna seemed almost defiant, refusing to listen, desperate only to find her mother.
Luna Cedric’s tone grew stern.
Clearly, he had reached his limits, especially with Kayla’s deteriorating condition: The medical team had warned that without surgery soon, they might miss the critical window.
I want my mommy! Sob, sob…” Luna cried louder, sensing Cedric’s rising tension.
Bang!
In the end, Cedric’s patience shattered.
He slammed the bowl onto the small table, startling Luna even more.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 435-Unyielding Luna was just a child.
Having been surrounded by familiar faces from a young age, it was evident how frightened Luna was in this unfamiliar environment.
Cedric pinched the bridge of his throbbing forehead, feeling an overwhelming headache coming 1. on.
The doctor entered with a grave expression, “Mr. Johnson, you need to come with me.” It was Kayla’s attending physician.
Cedric’s heart skipped a beat. He rose, casting a fleeting glance at the tiny figure on the bed before turning away.
Passing by Kyle at the doorway, Cedric uttered, “Make sure she eats.” “Understood “Kyle nodded, his eyes deepening with concern Watching Cedric’s swift departure, Kyle stepped into the room, observing the incessantly crying child on the bed and the untouched bowl of soup beside her.
“Luna,” Kyle said gently, taking a seat beside the bed. His eyes were filled with compassion as he murmured, “Shall we eat something first?” But Luna continued to cry “Is it because you don’t like it?” “I miss Grandma! I miss Mommy,” Luna said with a mournful tone.
These were the most frequent words she had uttered over the past few days. The longing for her mother and grandmother was evident. novelbin “Let’s eat first, alright? Once you’ve eaten, I’ll take you to see your mom.
“I don’t want to! I don’t want to!” Luna protested It was clear that this tactic wasn’t working.
Without seeing Natalie and Heather, Luna refused even to eat.
Outside, the entire Simeria was in turmoil, especially with the Jarvis family creating chaos.
Kyle could only imagine the impending chaos that would ensue if this continued on Warry clouded his eyes.
Meanwhile, Cedric met with the professor The professor glanced at the medical records and regretfully said, “We can’t postpone the surgery any longer.” Cedric felt a weight in his chest, almost suffocating upon hearing those words The severity of the illness had caught him off guard.
It was ruthless, and Cedric was not just worried about Kal but also… “Is there any other way?” Cedric asked with urgency, considering Luna’s non–cooperative state.
She refused to eat, and under such conditions, the surgery might pose risks to her well–being.
Regrettably, the professor shook his head Cedric closed his eyes momentarily, gathering his thoughts. When he reopened them, his determination was evident.
As Cedric walked away from the professor, he glanced through the glass of the intensive care unit, seeing the fragile figure lying inside.
In just a short span, she had lost so much weight, her complexion paler than ever.
She…!
Images of Kayla’s cautious gaze whenever she looked at him flashed in Cedric’s mind, along with the despair that followed every time Natalie hurt her.
It seemed as though she hadn’t experienced happiness in her life. Now, afflicted with such a disease, it felt like she could depart at any moment Cedric didn’t know how he made his way back to Luna’s hospital room.
Kyle stood gravely by the doorway.
Cedric asked, “How is she?” “She still refuses to eat,” Kyle replied.
Cedric remained silent, processing the information.
She still refused to eat?!
It was clear Luna was being stubborn. With her diminishing strength, she wouldn’t have the energy to protest for much longer.
Your Excellency, perhaps it’s best to send her back,” Kyle suggested after a moment’s contemplation.
But Cedric shot him a chilling glare.
Send Luna back? That would undoubtedly mean Kayla’s demise.
Cedric understood better than anyone. If Natalie took Luna away, there would be no possibility of surgery.
Kyle pressed, “But with the state she’s in, she won’t be able to do the surgery. It’s pitiful to keep. her here like this. She’s your daughter. Don’t you think you’re being cruel?” Was Kyle referring to Luna’s pitiful state or the fact that she had him as a father?
Cedric’s already cold gaze darkened further, focusing intensely on Kyle.
Indeed, Kyle spoke the truth.
What would happen if Luna remained? She would continue to deteriorate without meeting the conditions for surgery.
Cedric closed his eyes. The emotions swirling within were inscrutable. After what felt like an eternity, he reopened them, gazing upon Luna, who had cried herself to sleep once more.
The tear stains at the corners of her eyes made her appear even more pitiable, just as Kyle had described.
Visions of Kayla’s pallor flashed in his mind – Cedric decided, “Have the doctors administer nutrients to her.” Kyle was taken aback.
Would he not agree to send Luna away?
But… that was his biological daughter! Even at this point, he would still…?
Though Kayla’s life hung by a thread, Cedric’s decision shocked Kyle to his core.
Natalie was losing it For three consecutive days, she hadn’t slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she envisioned Luna lying on the surgical table In another life, she was utterly powerless, so how could Luna resist?
The mere thought made her vision blur, feeling as if she couldn’t breathe.
Amidst the chilling wind, Irwin swiftly removed his coat, draping it over her shoulders, Before he could say anything, his phone buzzed.
Glancing at the caller ID, Irwin moved aside to answer, “Hello.” It was unclear what was said on the other end of the line.
With a deep, penetrating gaze, he looked at Natalie, who was slowly walking towards the road, “You got it?!” He hastily ended the call.
A loud blare erupted from a large truck on the road. Its light flashed urgently, yet Natalie’s world.
was blank.
She wandered aimlessly. It was as if she felt that Luna was just around the corner.
Suddenly, the large truck sped towards her!
With a swift pull, Irwin yanked her back. The momentum caused them both to tumble onto the sidewalk, with Natalie’s head resting in his large hand.
A muffled groan escaped, jolting Natalie back to reality.
“You… It was Irwin!
Gazing at her, he reassured, “You’re okay.” Natalie gasped, “You!” What was he doing?
“We found Luna.
Natalie’s mind reeled. For a moment, she thought she might be hallucinating.
Stammering, she asked, “What did you say?” He found Luna?!
For the past three days, she had waited for this news every second. So when it finally came, her emotions were overwhelming.
As Irwin stood up, he helped her to her feet, and at that moment, Natalie’s phone buzzed again.
Frantically answering, she said, “Hello.” Im sending you the location,” came Clyde’s weary voice from the other end. Clearly, he had been awake these past three days as well.
Heather had cried and was inconsolable for three days, unable to rest until Luna was found. Under such circumstances, Clyde had done his utmost to locate the child as fast as he could.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 436-Natalie Found Her Natalie’s world seemed to brighten at that moment as if a dark cloud over her had suddenly.
dispersed.
In the car, she clutched Irwin’s overcoat tightly as she heard him say, “Cedric did a DNA test with Luna. He also did a matching test for Luna and Kayla ” “It doesn’t matter anymore,” she admitted.
Whenever Cedric unlocked his phone, he would see it.
However, in order to proceed with Kayla’s surgery, Cedric had cut off almost all means of communication.
No matter what Natalie tried, she couldn’t reach him.
Cedric made people feel both despair and anger.
Now that Natalie knew Cedric’s and Luna’s whereabouts, the first thought that crossed her mind upon seeing Cedric… was that she wanted him dead!
“He just had the hospital feed Luna nutrients!” Natalie’s face instantly turned pale upon hearing this She looked at Irwin. “What do you mean?” Clearly, at this moment, Natalie hadn’t grasped the full weight of Irwin’s words.
The speed of Irwin’s car was alarmingly fast!
“Luna has been refusing to eat, and yet… he wants to proceed with Kayla’s surgery!” Natalie’s expression worsened, becoming increasingly volatile.
Luna had been refusing to eat?!
It had been a few days!
She was starting to lose track of how many days had passed since Cedric took Luna. During this.
time, Luna had refused to eat.
Yet, with all this happening, Cedric still wanted to go ahead with Kayla’s surgery?!
“He knows that Luna is his daughter, right?” Natalie almost whispered, her voice barely audible, Irwin nodded. “Yes.” world seemed to crumble around her. She had never fully understood the extent of someone’s moral ambiguity. But now, she felt surrounded by shadows, and the darkness was paralyzing.
Even with the knowledge that Luna was his daughter, Cedric hadn’t changed his mind?!
He was still pushing for Kayla’s surgery?!
Did the knowledge hurt?
At this moment, Natalie felt numbness more than pain They said when someone was hurt to the extreme, they become numb.
She had grown numb to Cedric a long time ago.
This numbness was now accompanied by a chilling darkness.
Her hands clenched involuntarily!
Her nails dug into her palms, drawing traces of blood. Yet, she felt no pain, just a profound sense of numbness.
The pain had left her so numb that she couldn’t feel anymore!
The car’s speed reached its peak!
At the hospital, Kyle watched as Luna, held down by doctors and nurses, struggled fiercely, crying hysterically.
Children often fear needles. Luna, who had suffered from smoke inhalation when Natalie was pregnant, had never been in the best health since birth.
Needles and IV drips were routine for her, and the moment she saw the nurse approach with the needle, her cries were heart–wrenching.
Kyle subconsciously glanced at Cedric, who was standing aside smoking. The tension in his brow deepened, and his aura grew even more intense.
“Mommy! Mommy! Mommy..!” Luna’s frantic struggles and cries made even someone as hardened as Kyle feel an uncomfortable tug at his heart “She’s already broken two needles!” Kyle’s voice trembled with urgency.
Indeed.
Such a small child, and yet, the first two attempts to insert the needle had failed.
After an hour, Luna’s cries grew hoarse.
At Cedric’s feet lay countless cigarette butts.
“How did it go?” He was referring to the broken needles.
Kyle remained silent, eyes lowered in contemplation.
in.” Just then, a nurse attending to Kayla rushed over, “Mr. Johnson, something terrible has happened! A group of people suddenly appeared by Miss Kayla’s room and are trying to force their way Cedric and Kyle were speechless Cedric’s entire b*dy trembled, realizing the gravity of the situation. His face changed instantly.
He rushed towards Kayla’s room, only to find Irwin throwing two guards to the ground just around the corner.
With a dangerous glint in her eyes, Natalie forcefully opened the door to the room.
Behind her, Clyde and Julian were also present.
In her hand, what was that glinting under the lights?
The chilling gleam of light!
“Natalie!” Cedric roared.
All eyes turned to Cedric. Cedric seemed like a madman as he moved toward the room.
However, Clyde calmly stood in his way.
Peering past Clyde, he saw Natalie decisively tearing off the IV bag!
“Natalie!” Cedric’s heart was in his throat, and he continued to roar at Natalie.
Yet, Natalie seemed to have lost her mind.
In the next moment, her hand… reached for the oxygen tube.
“Stop! I said, stop!” With the fury of madness, Cedric swung a punch at Clyde. However, like lightning, Clyde dodged.
Cedric tried to enter the room, but Clyde stopped him again. “Oh, so you know what it feels like now, huh?” “Natalie, if you touch her, I promise you’ll never see the child again!” As the words left his mouth, Natalie’s movements became more aggressive.
Cedric’s breath caught in his throat!
Direct your anger at me. It’s me! I’m the one who did it!” +15 BONUS Yes, it was him.
All because of him…!
At that moment, as Cedric spoke, Natalie’s gaze, which had been fixed on Kayla, shifted to him.
Her l*ps pressed tightly together.
She approached him slowly, and each step she took felt like she was stepping directly on his heart. But seeing Natalie walking toward him, Cedric felt a sense of relief.
Kayla couldn’t handle any more stress right now.
At that moment, he almost believed that Natalie would grab Kayla and throw her to the ground.
How could she do this!?
Splurt!
It sounded like something had been ripped apart.
Cedric was silent.
His blood felt as though it was boiling.
Looking at Natalie’s motionless face, he realized she seemed to be in a trance. She slowly lowered her head to stare at his chest.
More accurately, she was looking at where his heart was.
Could she really. !?
“N–Nat?” Cedric couldn’t believe it. Could Natalie really want to…!?
She really despised him.
At this moment, Cedric felt the depth of Natalie’s hatred towards him.
Just as she once said, she had contemplated divorce upon waking up, not out of indifference, but a wish to never cross paths again.
He had torn open old wounds of resentment within her. She never sought revenge. She merely wanted peace.
The atmosphere was chilling!
Cedric felt drained, his consciousness fading due to loss of blood.
great effort he tried to raise his hand to touch her delicate face, but Natalie coldly avoided him At that moment, her eyes showed nothing but disgust novelbin She despised him…!
He chuckled bitterly.
His Nat… she actually despised him.
Yes, he was despicable!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 437-How Could He Be So Cruel Heather and Stephen had successfully saved Luna.
Undoubtedly, when Natalie, Irwin, Clyde, and others had arrived… They were only a diversion!
Stephen gazed deeply at Cedric, his eyes shimmering with a cold disappointment.
Natalie coldly pushed Cedric away. At that moment, he collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength.
As Natalie took a step forward, Cedric’s voice pierced the silence, “If you must hate, hate me. They have nothing to do with this!” He was referring to Isabella and Kayla.
even Without sparing him a glance, Natalie approached Heather. Luna, who had moments ago had a flushed face from struggling, trembled as she snuggled into Heather’s embrace.
Upon seeing Natalie, tears welled up in Luna’s eyes. She reached out with her tiny arms, longing for Natalie’s touch.
Gently, Natalie took Luna into her arms. Luna’s trembling was evident. She was clearly shaken by the recent events. Tears flowed silently from Natalie’s eyes.
“Let’s go,” Heather said, looking at Natalie.
Now, Stephen and Clyde would handle everything. Whatever they did to Cedric was not Natalie’s burden to bear.
Following Heather, Natalie walked away.
Cedric watched Natalie leave. She hadn’t spared him a glance from the start to the end. Her back. was trembling slightly, but there was also endless determination.
For a moment, a hollow emptiness consumed him.
Did it hurt?
Immensely!
It was suffocating!
Deep down, a voice kept echoing that he… had lost Natalie.
He had lost her forever.
Irwin, along with Heather and Natalie, left the scene..
Only Cedric, Stephen, and Clyde remained. The tension in the corridor was palpable, and the hospital staff seemed to have vanished.
Cedric had gone to extreme lengths for Kayla’s surgery. Who would have thought he’d hide in this small town hospital, letting them turn Simeria upside down?
Clyde approached and stepped on the wound on Cedric’s side. Natalie had done that.
With a groan, Cedric collapsed. Clyde’s eyes gleamed with a dark intensity as he delivered a series of ruthless kicks!
Each kick was filled with ruthlessness!
“Enough!” Stephen’s voice echoed, thick with menace.
Clyde halted, looking sinisterly at the fallen Cedric, who looked utterly defeated.
Stephen stepped forward. “The last time you visited Lotus Villa, I told you it was your only chance.
Yes, that had been his one and only chance.
No one knew the exact terms of the agreement between Cedric and Stephen, but now, Cedrich had squandered that chance.
Stephen turned around. “Cly.” “Yes, Father.” “Are you really scared?” Stephen’s voice was profound, and it resonated deeply.
Clyde replied nonchalantly, “Everyone has a dark past.” Stephen nodded. “Then make sure your sister isn’t troubled anymore.” “Understood.” Undoubtedly, in this situation, Natalie was primarily concerned about family ties. By her own volition, she’d never want any association with Cedric.
Yet, upon learning about Clyde’s past, fear overcame her.
Stephen and Clyde departed Kyle approached with a few others. “Your Excellency.
Cedric responded with a cold stare, his eyes as profound as a deep abyss.
yle lowered his gaze, examining the grievous wounds on Cedric, which were disturbingly severe)
T’ll get a doctor right away.” He didn’t expect that someone would be able to hurt Cedric like this!
In this world, apart from Natalie, who could truly harm Cedric?
She was the only one Cedric would never retaliate against!
At Lotus Villa, in the dining room, Natalie cautiously fed soup to Luna. Luna clung tightly to her, visibly traumatized Since being in Natalie’s embrace, Luna had refused to leave… “Luna, come to Grandma, okay?” Heather was also distraught. After all, her child was taken from Lotus Villa.
Of course, it was Cedric’s scheme. Who else.would dare to take a child from here?
Despite her distress, Heather couldn’t help but empathize with Natalie’s evident pain.
“I’ll do it,” Natalie said, her tone gentle.
Luna, still in her embrace, had already consumed two bowls of soup. Natalie knew she had to be cautious and not give Luna too much.
Luna had to eat slowly after not eating for a few days.
“Mommy,” Luna murmured, clinging tightly to Natalie’s neck, evidently still shaken.
Natalie held Luna close, trying to offer solace. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions. At that moment, all she wanted was to comfort her child.
And secretly, she wished she would have stabbed Cedric back at the hospital! Compared to the torment he inflicted upon her, that seemed like nothing.
He knew Luna was his daughter, yet he still insisted on operating on Kayla.
That point caused Natalie to be beside herself with rage.
She wished they would all die!
“Shh, it’s okay.” Natalie cradled Luna gently, pacing around the room to soothe her. At that moment, she felt that if it meant saving her child, she would do anything–even give her own life.
She was a mother, after all. She couldn’t be devoid of compassion.
However, the scars in her heart overpowered that compassion Everyone had the right to live, but when it came to life and death decisions, it shouldn’t be at the expense of others‘ suffering Cedric’s actions had undoubtedly pushed Natalie to the brink of loathing him entirely.
Undeniably, Cedric had crossed every boundary, in Natalie’s opinion!
When Stephen and Clyde returned, they found Heather sitting on the couch, looking utterly lost.
Even though Luna had been found, Heather seemed lost in a daze, unable to process the recent events. The ordeal had been terrifying, and the thought of what might have happened if they were even a moment late haunted them.
Could Cedric have taken Luna to the operating table?
“It’s over now,” Stephen tried to comfort Heather, holding her close.
“How could he be so heartless?” Heather’s voice trembled with emotion.
It would have been one thing not to know, but knowing and still making such choices?
Stephen remained silent, unable to defend Cedric’s actions.
This wasn’t merely favoritism anymore.
What drove Cedric to exhibit such bias even in front of his own daughter?
Why did he show such preference for Isabella and her child?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 438-Selling Cedric Out!
For the past three nights, Natalie had been tirelessly searching outdoors. She had been unable to rest, fearing that she would lose Luna if she let go for even a moment.
Now that Luna was back, she still couldn’t sleep peacefully. She held Luna tightly, fearing another separation.
“Mommy, milk,” Luna murmured, finding solace in Natalie’s embrace as she returned to their bed.
After giving her a bath, Natalie quickly prepared some formula for her.
“Here, sweetie.” Natalie wanted to feed her, but Luna appeared hungrier than ever. She grabbed the bottle and gulped it down eagerly.
Seeing Luna’s visible weight loss, Natalie felt a surge of anger. The past few days with Cedric had clearly been harsh on her daughter.
A sharp glint appeared in Natalie’s eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it came.
Luna seemed restless, possibly due to the stressful days she had endured. She nestled into Natalie’s embrace and finally drifted into sleep.
However, Natalie felt her heart broke when she looked down.
The tight grip of Luna’s hand on Natalie’s nightgown spoke volumes about her lingering fear.
Luna had never done such a thing before.
The night was long and restless. Natalie remained awake, watching over her daughter until exhaustion finally took its toll, and she drifted into a deep sleep.
She only woke up around ten in the morning, drenched in sweat.
“Ah..!” She had dreamt of desperately searching for Luna. She had searched like a madwoman, but she couldn’t find her.
She trembled as she looked to her side. When she saw Luna. she relaxed a little.
She reached out and gently touched Luna’s cheek. The warmth on her fingers brought Natalie back to her senses.
Lime had been found She wasn’t afraid anymore!
kept reassuring herself repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief, Heather cautiously entered the room and saw Natalie in a distressed state “Nat?” Startled, Natalie looked up.
Heather walked in quietly. “Why are you sweating so much?” “It’s nothing.” Natalie replied, not wanting Heather to worry Heather looked at Natalie before turning her attention to Luna. After a brief moment of stirring.
Luna began crying loudly!
Natalie and Heather were shocked. Natalie immediately pulled Luna into her arms.
“Shh, it’s okay!” The next moment, Luna returned to sleep in Natalie’s arms.
It was obvious that Luna still felt uneasy and frightened after being taken the last few days.
She had tears in the corner of her eyes…!
Natalie wanted to tear Cedric to pieces!
Heather gently suggested, “Give Luna to me.” “It’s okay, I can… “The seventh lord’s wife is here!” Natalie froze. The seventh lord’s wife?
In a split second, Natalie remembered that it was Bianca.
“Bia?” “Yeah, she’s waiting for you,” Heather responded.
That explained why Heather had come up. Natalie handed Luna to Heather, quickly freshened up, and soon found herself facing Bianca in a floral room.
Bianca stood in a pristine white trench coat, radiating an elegance rivaling the orchids. surrounding her. Her fiery red l*ps added a touch of fierce beauty to her overall demeanor.
Natalie approached her and softly said, “Bia.” Bianca snapped out of her thoughts and turned to face Natalie.
Why are you here?” Natalie asked beir hands instinctively intertwined as they both took a seat.
voice was filled with concern and sympathy as she asked. “Tel uns haalean Clearly, she couldn’t fathom how things had escalated between Natalie and Cedric to this extent.
“Yes,” Natalie responded “Is all that true?” Even though it hadn’t been publicly disclosed, Bianca had gotten wind of the situation through Zane. She couldn’t fathom how Cedric could have used Luna to save Isabella’s child.
Natalie looked down. She picked up her tea to take a few sips, attempting to suppress the weight of her emotions. Seeing Natalie’s silence, Bianca realized that Zane’s account of the events was likely accurate.
“You Bianca sighed.
two really are star In matters of the heart, Bianca had always been straightforward. If she wanted something, she went for it. If not, she let it go.
But after Malcolm, she understood that some entanglements weren’t as black and white as they seemed what’s t “So, plan now?” Bianca asked. Given the current scenario, hoping for Cedric to voluntarily distance himself from Natalie seemed unlikely.
Taking a deep breath, Natalie finally responded, “Bia.” “Yes?” “Tell Zane that the other half of the documents is with Cedric!” Natalie’s voice held a firm resolve.
She didn’t know the full implications of what would happen if all the documents were gathered together.
However, Natalie had ensured her own escape from Malcolm when she had sold Frederick out to him. Bianca had used information about Frederick as a way to break free from Malcolm and connect with Zane.
So, it was evident that when all those documents were pieced together, it was beyond crucial for everyone involved in their current situation.
“A–are you sure about this?” Bianca asked as she studied Natalie’s face.
Although Natalie had hinted at this before, the whereabouts of the other half remained a mystery.
And Cedric’s behavior over the years hardly indicated that he held possession of that missing portion.
Natalie met Bianca’s gaze firmly. “I’m sure!” The intensity of Cedric’s ander that that half of the documents.
Bianca remarked, “It seems you’re truly done with him.” Otherwise, why would she disclose information about the half of the documents that could determine Cedric’s fate? And why pass it to Zane?
Over the years, that half of the documents had always evaded the Entes family. For them, the implications of the documents coming together meant an undeniable and significant loss for others involved.
Natalie continued, her voice filled with emotion, “Do you know? When I arrived at Palmville last night, he was giving Luna nutrients!” Bianca was momentarily speechless.
“He knew Luna was his daughter. Yet for three whole and nights, Luna didn’t eat a single bite. And he… never even thought of returning her to me.” The incredulity in Natalie’s voice was evident.
She even wondered… Could he genuinely not care about the safety of their child?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 439- The Reason Behind It Were Irrelevant!
Even under such circumstances, he… still insisted on letting the child undergo surgery for Kayla?
Bianca was shocked!
“Wasn’t he worried about such a young child going days without food?!” At that moment, Bianca truly understood why Natalie harbored such deep resentment toward Cedric Moments ago, when she had shared the news about half of the documents with Bianca, she had wondered if she was being too harsh on Cedric.
But now, hearing all this, Bianca realized… as a mother, the pain of seeing one’s child hurt was unbearable.
it, but it It was bad enough if an outsider did it, but it was Luna’s own father!
Natalie’s disdain for Cedric went beyond hatred!
She would go to any lengths to see him suffer!
That’s why she hadn’t hesitated to disclose half of the documents to Bianca.
“Hah… Worried?” Natalie chuckled coldly, her voice icy. “His only concern is for Isabella’s daughter. Why would he worry about Luna?” Yes!
To Natalie, faced with such harsh conditions, Cedric’s only worry seemed to be Kayla.
Three days without food!
It showed how Kayla’s surgery was paramount in his mind, overlooking Luna’s well–being.
Bianca’s eyes darkened.
“He truly deserves it!” Indeed, he did!
At this moment, no one would sympathize with Cedric.
It was a testament to the saying. “Those who deserve pity have something contemptible about them Was Cedric pitiable?
But more than that, he was so hatefull “If he wants to be a good father, no one’s stopping him! If he wants to save Kayla because she’s important to him, that’s his choice,” Natalie continued Bianca remained silent.
“But wanting to save Kayla at Luna’s expense?!” Natalie’s tone grew more dangerous, filled with venom.
It was the one thing she couldn’t tolerate.
If she had her way, she’d see Cedric suffer.
The events of last night… was as Cedric had feared.
Natalie would never forgive him in this lifetime.
“Nat,” Bianca looked at Natalie with heartfelt pain.
Back in Verde City, Cedric had brought endless torment to Natalie. And even now, in Simeria, he remained unchanged.
“Back then, it was Isabella. Now… it’s her daughter,” Natalie sneered.
Their decade–long relationship now felt like a cruel joke to her.
Bianca pondered, “Do you know why Kayla truly means so much to him? It can’t just be about Isabella!” Even if it was about Isabella…. novelbin There must be other reasons.
If we’re talking about love, it doesn’t seem like it..!
After all, when Isabella was at the Morina Hotel, she wanted to move into Peach Garden so badly, but it never happened.
So, could there be things behind the scenes that they don’t know about?
“It doesn’t matter!” Natalie said coldly Whatever reasons Cedric had for Kayla, or whatever unknown matters occurred between him and Isabella, it didn’t matter to Natalie now!
Because in her world, nothing justified endangering Luna!
Diance held her hand, gently rubbing her palm as a way to comfort Natalie.
She had always done this in the past…!
courage.
“What’s the situation with you and Malcolm now?” Natalie asked with concern.
Given that she knew why Bianca had turned to Zane in the first place and had witnessed Malcolm’s true colors, she genuinely worried for Bianca.
As soon as Natalie finished speaking, Bianca’s lps curled into a smile, those fiery red lps giving off an eerie vibe.
It seemed as if within that smile lay hidden layers of restraint and danger, waiting to erupt, potentially destroying all involved.
The moment their eyes met, Natalie was shocked by the sharpness concealed in Bianca’s gaze.
It was a side of her Natalie had never seen before.
Once, Bianca was straightforward in her professional life!
Now, with this edge combined seamlessly, she appeared like a natural–born queen, standing in a formidable position.
It was as if she belonged to Simeria by birthright or perhaps to the Entes family.
Yet, seeing Bianca like this filled Natalie with endless worries, Bianca calmly responded, “As for him, aren’t we settling scores from the past two years slowly?” “What about Jade?” Yes, Jade.
Jade had pushed Bianca to the brink, which caused Bianca to find a way to connect with Zane. No. doubt Jade had thoroughly offended Bianca.
Bianca answered, “He better keep her close now.” With someone constantly monitoring, as soon as Malcolm left the hospital, they would notify Bianca And Bianca..!
Without saying more, just hearing Bianca’s words gave a clear indication of the situation.
She was currently at odds with Malcolm!
“I’ve heard that the head of the Entes family is in critical condition. This is a crucial time for the members of the Entes family.” ostructions before his departure were essential, and the lords… they should he brai with “Well, I hope Jade becomes even more significant in his eyes,” Bianca said sarcastically.
As Natalie mentioned, this is a crucial period for the various lords of the Entes family!
And at present, Bianca had no intention of letting Malcolm ascend.
Natalie sensed her intentions.
With a glint of concern in her eyes, she warned, “Just remember not to be too biased towards him!” Malcolm wasn’t a good man. If anything went wrong, Bianca might bear the blame.
This was Natalie’s primary concern But brushing off Natalie’s worries, Bianca smirked, “Regardless, I am now the seventh lord’s wife, his sister–in–law!” Natalie responded with silence, contemplating Bianca’s position Bianca’s words only heightened Natalie’s concerns rather than alleviating them.
Just as Natalie was about to voice her thoughts further, Bianca’s phone rang. She picked it up, saying, “Hello” “Lord Malcolm left ten minutes ago!” “I got it.” After the brief exchange, she hung up the phone.
Casting a reassuring glance at Natalie, she said, ‘I know you’re worried about me. Don’t fret; I’ve got this.” Without waiting for Natalie to respond, Bianca swiftly departed.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 440-Natalie’s Decision Bianca left!
Natalie made her way to the dining area, clearly preoccupied. Evidently, Bianca’s matters had been weighing heavily on her mind.
Inside the dining room, Heather was feeding Luna. The little one sát obediently in Heather’s embrace Clyde returned from outside and, upon seeing Natalie, furrowed his brows.
Eventually, Natalie and Clyde moved to the study together. Clyde inquired with a puzzled look, ” What’s the matter?” “Is he… dead?” Natalie asked coldly.
She was referring to Cedric!
Though she had lost her composure the previous night, she was well aware of her actions.
Clyde was taken aback by her icy tone. He paused before replying, “Do you think of him as a chicken?” Natalie was speechless A chicken? What kind of metaphor was that?
Seemingly preoccupied, Clyde had returned for a reason. Now, rummaging through the bookshelf, he said, “Someone like him wouldn’t just die that easily.
Just look at what Natalie did to Cedric last night. If it wasn’t for that, Clyde wouldn’t have kicked him so many times!
Clearly, he knew nothing would happen to Cedric.
Natalie had only hurt him a little.
Clyde observed the chill in the room deepen and remarked, “It seems your hatred for him has intensified.” The glint of resentment in Natalie’s eyes shimmered more fiercely upon hearing he was unharmed.
Natalie asked, “He’s fine?” Clyde replied, “But after this incident, he’s likely taking the child to Wexford.” Natalie was silent.
Wexford?
Given the circumstances in Simeria, there was no reason for him to stay. With the urgency in Wexford, time was of the essence.
Whether it was for Natalie or Kayla… Cedric was wasting his time if he continued to stay here.
A cold determination flashed in Natalie’s eyes. “I got it.” To Wexford, was it?
Did he believe that after all his wrongdoings, he could just leave unscathed?!
Indeed, at this moment, Natalie’s loathing was as clear as day. Once, she had hoped to have no dealings with Cedric for the rest of her life.
But ever since he used Clyde’s past as leverage and threatened her, especially after his actions. regarding Luna, a voice inside her echoed… Unless this man was eliminated, she would never find peace!
From love to the present animosity! Who could have foreseen they would reach such a point?!
Once, Cedric had held Natalie close. But in the end, he crushed her warmth with his own hands.
There was a moment when Natalie’s heart was pure and angelic. However, Cedric’s actions cast her into despair, so how could one blame her for the bitterness that followed?
Simeria! Wexford. !
Both cities, seemingly stable and prosperous, hid deep–seated tensions beneath their calm. façades.
After a week of meticulous care, Luna finally let down her guard. By the third day, Luna had stopped crying at night, emphasizing how crucial familial presence was for a child.
Yet, when Natalie revealed her decision, it stunned everyone from her family.
“Nat, didn’t you say…” Heather stared at Natalie, her eyes wide with shock.
Moments ago, Natalie had informed them that she intended to accompany Irwin to Wexford?!
chance for the sake of their child’s family While the outcome was disappointing She now wanted to go to Wexford with Irwin?!
Her decision now left everyone puzzled!
Heather was unfamiliar with the intricacies between Wexford and Simeria, but Stephen understood the implications of Natalie’s choice.
He gazed deeply into her eyes, “Is this truly your decision?” “Yes, Dad. This is my choice.” “Do you understand what you’re getting into?” “Nat “I know you’ve always protected me, but…” Natalie paused, leaving her sentence unfinished.
Yet, Stephen understood the unspoken words.
The Jarvis family had always shielded her. But unbeknownst to many, thanks to Cedric, she was already in a pit of despair.
No matter how much protection she received, none could pull her from that abyss.
Now, the only way out was for her to go on her own terms.
If things had to be resolved this way, then it wasn’t Natalie’s fault for coming to this decision, either.
“But what about Luna? Are you willing to leave her?” Heather’s voice was filled with concern.
Whenever she recalled how Cedric had treated Luna, Heather’s heart would break.
Gazing at the child in her arms, Natalie replied, “Unless I address this, I’ll never have peace with my daughter.” Indeed. She would never!
Because of Luna’s father, Cedric, Natalie felt as restless as her own mother had once been. novelbin Heather looked helplessly at Stephen, who met her gaze with cold, deep eyes. It indicated… his reluctant support for Natalie’s decision.
Heather’s l*ps quivered as if wanting to voice her concerns, but she held back.
Finally, Stephen broke the silence, “Let Cly accompany you.
You Clydel This time, Natalie nodded without protest. “Alright” Clyde would join her if it brought them comfort, especially considering his connections in Wexford.
Natalie was at her wits‘ end with Cedric regarding Luna. Meanwhile, Cedric’s own days were not less tumultuous.
Kayla’s condition deteriorated rapidly, and certain unforeseen events in Wexford demanded his return “Your Excellency,” Kyle called out, his eyes filled with concern.
Cedric remained silent.
Lucas had also arrived. He had been in Wexford for a while and had vital information to share with Cedric.
After hearing Lucas’s report, Kyle’s worried gaze met Cedric’s. It was clear Cedric needed to return urgently.
Cedric’s eyes flickered with depth as he inquired, “Where is she now?” He was referring to Natalie!
As the words left his l*ps, Cedric felt a void and an unsettling feeling clouding his mind.
But there was also a hint of resentment.
“Mr. Frazier has been visiting Lotus Villa daily,” Kyle informed, emphasizing Irwin’s frequent visits.
The atmosphere grew even colder once Kyle finished speaking. Cedric’s icy demeanor was evident.
“He surely knows how to take advantage,” Cedric said with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Indeed, in Cedric’s perspective, Irwin’s appearance by Natalie’s side during her vulnerable moments seemed opportunistic.
Back in Verde City, when cracks appeared between him and Natalie, Irwin managed to integrate himself into her life, And now?
Sensing Cedric’s thoughts, Kyle remarked, “Perhaps this time it’s different!” He was talking about the dynamics between Irwin and Natalie.
