Ch. 541..550
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 541-If It Were Blair “You never thought of it then, did you?” Whether in this life or the previous one, Cedric never considered stopping regarding what happened at Scarlet Villa, He hadn’t even paused to think about throwing her into prison.
And even when he considered using Luna to save Kayla, he hadn’t contemplated stopping.
So, what right did he have to ask her to halt?
“If it were her, would you still act this way?” Natalie was obviously talking about Blair!
The mere mention of Blair seemed to still the air, making it palpably tense. Even across the phone, Natalie sensed the man’s breathing become heavier.
“Would you?” The chill in Natalie’s voice deepened as she probed.
On the other end of the line, Cedric felt his entire being tighten, the weight of the question pressing down on him.
Would the situations with Isabella or Kayla have unfolded if it had been Blair?
“You wouldn’t, right?” Natalie didn’t wait for Cedric’s response but continued with her biting sarcasm.
The world seemed to collapse around Cedric in this stormy moment.
The two were locked in a standoff, their emotions evident even over the phone.
“Cedric, you’re heartless!” “Nat,” Cedric began, attempting to find words. But at that moment, he found himself speechless.
Was he heartless?
In Natalie’s eyes, he was beyond that.
“Don’t call me again. Your words are meaningless to me,” Natalie concluded before ending the call.
In the silence that followed, every inch of Natalie’s body felt taut, her back drenched in a cold sweat.
The weight of her question about Blair had clearly unsettled Cedric. His hesitation and On Cedric’s end of the phone, a tumult of emotions churned in his eyes.
She… didn’t know.
She didn’t know anything, yet at this moment… Cedric became painfully aware of everything.
The fears Cedric harbored had indeed come to pass. The moment Natalie learned about Blair, she would inevitably be drawn into his world.
Yes, this was precisely what Cedric had anticipated.
When Natalie found out about Blair, things between him and Natalie would be…!
The countless times he had imagined facing this moment now felt suffocatingly real.
When Lucas entered, he immediately noticed the gravity on Cedric’s face.
“Your Excellency, Ms. Schneider is here.” Abigail, the one who had given Cedric the most headaches lately!
“Let her in!” There was no escaping this. After all, hadn’t Natalie’s grand gesture left him with no room to hide?
Lucas nodded and departed.
Soon after, Abigail walked in. While Cedric’s face was shadowed with gravity, Abigail’s was lit up with a mocking smile.
“You don’t look pleased.” “Get to the point!” Cedric’s voice was icy.
Abigail’s expression stiffened briefly at his tone, but her smile only grew colder. “My father hopes we can announce our good news soon.” Good news?
This woman could say a lot of things with a straight face, huh?
“What good could possibly come from your father?” novelbin If it were genuinely good news, why was Abigail nearing thirty and still unmarried?
Unfazed by his sarcastic tone, Abigail responded, “Regardless of the nature of this Come this far?
She really had the guts to say such a thing!
“How about we register first?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 542-Abigail’s Love at First Sight “Dream on!” Without hesitation, Cedric swiftly dismissed Abigail.
Immediately, Abigail clicked her tongue and said, “So heartless. Remember that grand feast? I fell for you at first sight. Couldn’t you have given me some acknowledgment?” Love at first sight? Her? A member of the Schneider family?
The sound of a lighter flicked, and the man lit a cigarette.
Abigail didn’t particularly care for the scent, and her expression darkened at the sight.
She continued, “Blair is the wedge between you two. You’ve always known that, haven’t you?” This situation wasn’t accidental.
Blair was a real person, and she had once existed!
This concealed fact had finally come to light after all these years, presenting a threat to Cedric and Natalie’s relationship..
Cedric took a deep drag from his cigarette, exhaling slowly.
“You and her can never be!” Abigail stated firmly.
“Abigail!” The man’s voice deepened, clearly unwilling to face this reality.
“I heard you even planned to use Nat’s daughter to save Isabella’s. What were you thinking?!” Abigail said, her own astonishment evident.
Even though she had been in Wexford all these years, she knew Natalie held significant importance in Cedric’s heart.
But it was because Natalie was so important to Cedric that Abigail couldn’t understand.
Was Natalie more important to Cedric, or was ‘Isabella?
“Shut up!” Cedric’s entire demeanor turned colder when the topic arose.
“Cedric, Nat isn’t as important to you as you claim, is she?” Abigail asked.
Cedric’s eyes sharpened, suspicious of the way Abigail was addressing Natalie.
“Since when were you so close to her?” With a mysterious smile, Abigail replied, “That’s a secret.‘ “Hand it over!” Cedric demanded.
“Nat doesn’t intend to let you off so easily. Are you sure you won’t let her vent her anger a Indeed, with Abigail’s interference, wasn’t this a means for Natalie to release her pent–up anger?
Natalie’s disdain for him ran deep!
Before Cedric could respond, Abigail stood, elegantly flipping her long curls, “Let me know when the time is right. Soon, okay?” “Forget it! Just give it up!” With those words hanging in the air, Abigail’s eyes dimmed momentarily, “Whether I give up or not isn’t for you to decide.” Having said her piece, Abigail departed, leaving behind the chilling aura of Cedric.
His presence grew even more intense and cold. novelbin “Natalie…” What should he do about that woman?
Undoubtedly, while Natalie was aware of Blair’s existence, both Irwin and Cedric were at a loss.
What Natalie was orchestrating was more than just retaliation.
During this period, the Schneider family had been making excessive demands. Amidst such pressing circumstances, Cedric found himself constantl
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 543-The Taste of Complete Darkness As for Irwin, dealing with just one matter was already giving him a headache, and that was Frederick’s whereabouts.
But now… Oh, Natalie… She was truly ruthless!
It seemed as if nothing else mattered to her anymore… Indeed, that was the impression Natalie gave Cedric–that nothing mattered to her.
Just then, Kayla returned.
Perhaps it was the natural disposition of children to love playing. Ever since her discharge from the hospital and after a few days of recuperation at home, Kayla was eager to go out and play.
“Daddy,” she greeted.
She was growing up so fast.
Cedric extinguished his cigarette when he saw her. “Where did you go?” “To the amusement park!” The moment she spoke of her outing, her spirits lifted noticeably, indicating her genuine fondness for such places. Perhaps because she hadn’t been able to go when she should have, she still enjoyed it even at this age.
However… “You shouldn’t go anymore this month, okay?” “Okay.” She obediently nodded, clearly taking Cedric’s words seriously. novelbin Despite her love for playing, she was also a well–behaved child.
With tenderness in his eyes, Cedric embraced her. “You’ve only just recovered. You shouldn’t go to crowded places.” “Mr. Kyle took me to less crowded places,” Kayla replied softly.
However, Cedric was not reassured.
After all, those were still public places. Given the traumatic experience they had been through, one could only imagine the weight of the psychological shadow lurking within Cedric.
Hence, he didn’t want Kayla to venture into such places.
“Kayla.” “Yes, Daddy.” “Daddy will be away on a business trip for a few days. You must be good, understood?” “You’re not taking me with you, Daddy?” Her little face drooped instantly when Cedric mentioned a business trip.
Undoubtedly, Cedric was a pillar of support in Kayla’s world. Hence, upon hearing that he would be leaving home, an unmistakable expression of reluctance appeared on her face, indicating how much she would miss him.
“I have something important to do. Also, you’ve just recovered, so you need to rest, okay?” “Okay.” Kayla was obedient enough. Seeing her nod, Cedric was relieved and smiled warmly.
Meanwhile, Natalie’s vision had been increasingly blurry recently. After consulting with doctors multiple times, they advised her to take proper rest.
Soon, the family became aware of it.
“Nat, perhaps we should proceed with the surgery…” Heather’s voice choked up.
For anyone, eyesight is of paramount importance.
What would they do if she lost her vision?
“Mom, don’t worry too much, alright?” Natalie reassured.
“How can I not worry? I…” Heather’s voice hardened as she struggled to continue.
She had finally found her lost children, who were doing just fine, and now this situation arose.
Earlier, when she knew Natalie had a decent life growing up, she had breathed a sigh of relief. But then she watched her daughter endure so much emotional torment and pain and even ended up in such a state!
Heather was Natalie’s mother.
How could she not feel heartbroken?
“Mom!” Natalie felt exasperated.
How many times had the Jarvis family urged her to have surgery? She had already checked The corneas available for transplant were scarce, and so many people were on the waiting list. Even though the Jarvis family could prioritize her, Natalie didn’t want to resort to such means.
Those waiting for the transplants were anxious!
“Nat, I just want the best for you, you know?” Finally, Heather couldn’t hold back her tears as she embraced Natalie.
Natalie fell silent.
Hearing Heather cry, Natalie felt a suffocating sensation in her chest.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 544-Natalie’s Torment Heather felt her heart break!
After all, who wouldn’t want their child, separated for so many years, to return to them in good health?
But Natalie…!
No one knew exactly what the doctor had told Heather.
The doctor had said, “With her eyes in that condition, she may not have much time left before she won’t be able to see.” It meant that Natalie would lose her sight soon!
“I truly despise Cedric!” Heather choked out.
Indeed, she hated Cedric.
Natalie’s eyes had been damaged due to Cedric’s actions. He had sent Natalie to prison because of Isabella. novelbin If he hadn’t done that, Natalie wouldn’t have suffered in that fire!
Until now, Heather hadn’t mustered the courage to look at the scars on Natalie’s body, but her eyes constantly reminded her of the unimaginable pain her daughter had endured.
“It’s alright, Mom.” When Heather mentioned Cedric, there was a dark shadow in Natalie’s eyes. Clearly, all that.
remained for that man in her heart was hatred.
But facing her mother, Natalie struggled to find words of comfort.
Being a mother herself, Natalie understood the overwhelming desire to annihilate anyone who harmed her child.
Yes, that was right!
She remembered the rage she felt when she learned of Cedric’s choices regarding Luna.
She wanted to tear Cedric apart with her bare hands!
And then there was Heather…!
She hadn’t been by Natalie’s side since she was a child. So when Heather saw Natalie being hurt in these ways, it was easy to imagine what Heather wanted to do.
“Mom, please don’t be distressed.” “Wouldn’t it be better to do the surgery?” Heather asked, her voice tinged with pain.
Yes, surgery.
Natalie’s eyes needed immediate attention. However, due to the severity of the damage from the fire, conventional treatments were futile.
Only a comprehensive surgical procedure could help.
“Don’t you realize, Mom, that surgery poses significant risks for me too?” “Nat.” “I can still see now. At least while I can see, I don’t want to undergo any surgery, alright?” That was right. Surgery came with its risks.
If the surgery failed, it would only hasten her complete loss of vision. That was partly why Natalie resisted the idea of surgery initially.
She could still perceive some light, albeit blurry. But if the surgery went wrong, even that faint glimmer would vanish!
She knew all too well the taste of utter darkness, a sensation she never wished to experience again.
It was too agonizing…!
Just contemplating that feeling was unbearable.
“Nat,” Heather’s voice was tinged with anguish.
It was the first time she had heard Natalie speak so candidly about her eyes and the potential surgery.
In the past, whenever the topic of surgery arose, Natalie’s immediate response was a firm rejection, often followed by silence.
But now… “Mom, the feeling of never seeing again is something I don’t want to risk,” Natalie articulated each word carefully.
“I understand… I do!” Heather’s voice quivered with emotion.
The mere thought of being in such a predicament was harrowing for anyone to contemplate!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 545-Destiny Following the doctor’s examination of Natalie, the people in both Lotus Villa and Hillside Villa became considerably more cautious about lighting.
Within the shortest time possible, Heather and Stephen had all the lights changed once again.
Even at night, Natalie wasn’t allowed outside. Not just at night. Even during the daytime, when the sun shone too brightly, Heather wouldn’t let Natalie venture out.
This showed just how deeply concerned Heather was for her daughter’s eyes.
The doctor had said… Time was limited.
Hence, during this brief period, they had to ensure that nothing overly stimulating would affect Natalie’s eyes.
At night, Lotus Villa was dimly lit. Everyone felt the lights were too low. Natalie, who already saw everything as a blur, felt the darkness intensify.
“Mom, there’s really no need to worry. I can’t see anything anyway,” sighed Natalie, speaking the truth.
At this point, she truly couldn’t see anything.
However, Heather remained firm.
“I know it might seem too dim for everyone, but if you can see the strong lights, it would only further damage your eyes,” she reasoned.
Natalie remained silent.
Wasn’t such dim lighting also detrimental to those who could see?
After all, she couldn’t see anything!
“Listen to me. The lighting will remain like this at least until your surgery is successful,” Heather insisted with a stern tone.
“Alright,” Natalie complied.
Nothing could surpass a mother’s concern. As long as it put Heather’s mind at ease even a little, Natalie wouldn’t protest.
Later that night, back at Hillside Villa, Lydia and Xyla approached Natalie.
“We’ve changed the lighting to ensure it won’t harm your eyes too much, but you should still wear your glasses,” they advised.
Glasses?!
Natalie nodded. “Alright, I understand.” There were times before when she felt it wasn’t too straining and chose not to wear her glasses.
But now, everything was different.
The doctor’s examination had everyone in the Jarvis family on edge once again. Previously, their anxiety wasn’t just about her eyes but also the burn scars on her body.
And now?
Currently, the primary concern was her eyes. novelbin After all, her eyes were more important than anything else.
At night, Lydia and Xyla took extra care as they assisted Natalie with her bedtime routine. They were overly cautious every step of the way, fearing she might stumble.
“I can still see a little. There’s no need for such concern,” Natalie reassured them, sensing their heightened anxiety.
However, she couldn’t do anything about it.
Lydia responded, “Madam won’t even let you leave Lotus Villa.” Natalie remained silent.
It was the truth!
However, Natalie felt reluctant to stay there, considering the increased worry she had caused Heather at Lotus Villa.
At least here at Hillside Villa, she could have some peace of mind.
“Lydia.” “Yes?” “If my mom asks, tell her everything is fine with me.‘ Everything was fine?
Given the struggles when Natalie was caring for Luna, how could Heather not sense something amiss?
Lydia genuinely felt her heart ache for Natalie.
“Miss, if there’s an opportunity for surgery, you should take it, okay?” “…Alright.” At that moment, Natalie nodded.
After all, she truly felt overwhelmed It was reminiscent of her past life. when she couldn’t see her daughter today.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 546-How Painful It Was When Natalie found out she was pregnant in her past life, she had sat in the darkness for a long time clutching her stomach after Isabella had left.
At that moment, her primary concern was figuring out how she would live with the child once she left Cedric.
Yes!
Even in the pitch–blackness that enveloped her vision, she was determined to leave Cedric behind, no matter what awaited her.
But upon learning of the life growing within her, all her courage evaporated. She felt panicked and almost driven mad.
She could endure any hardship, but the thought of not being able to care for her child terrified her.
However, before she could confront Cedric or make a decision… a massive fire ended everything.
Cedric said she should forgive Isabella.
He claimed that Isabella sacrificed her life for her in the end.
But how could he truly understand?
While Natalie might have been willing to forgive almost anything when it only concerned her, there was no room for forgiveness when it came to her child.
There was absolutely no way.
It was also because of the suffering she had endured in her last moments for the child that she decided that… No matter what Isabella had done for her, she couldn’t forgive her. novelbin “Alright, I’ll inform Madam. She’ll be pleased to know that you’ve agreed to the surgery soon, Lydia said, joyfully picking up the phone.
Watching Lydia’s cheerful departure, Natalie shook her head in resignation.
That night, Natalie struggled to find rest, only truly falling asleep after midnight. Accepting these outcomes wasn’t easy for her. The doctor’s conclusions had shaken all her previous convictions.
In the darkness, a pair of bright eyes observed her frail form on the bed. A cold fingertip traced the uneven skin of her neck, causing a sensation as if the man’s fingertip had been It was so painful it made him gasp for breath.
How excruciating it must have been for her!
Not just the burns on her skin but also her eyes seared by scorching heat!
She must have suffered so much!
When morning came, Natalie felt a familiar presence. Perhaps due to her fading vision, her sensitivity to this presence became even sharper.
And so, a heavy feeling settled deep within her heart.
Lydia heard the commotion and entered. “Miss, you’re awake.” “You’ve been standing by the door?” “Yes, Xyla and I took turns keeping watch.” “There’s really no need to be so tense. I’m fine!” Natalie reached out to grab the glass of water on the bedside table. However, as she extended her hand, the shadows seemed to blur. It caused her to knock over the glass, spilling water everywhere.
Natalie and Lydia were silent, and the air turned tense instantly!
“Miss!” Lydia was the first to react, rushing over to check on Natalie, her eyes filled with concern and anxiety.
Caught off guard by Lydia’s exclamation, Natalie finally came back to her senses.
Were her eyes really in such a dire state as the doctor had warned?!
Lydia reassured her, “It’s alright. I’ll clean it up immediately.” It felt as if something had engulfed Natalie’s entire world at that moment
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 547-The Rapid Decline Lydia quickly tidied up the mess However, the cold water in Natalie’s palm served as a chilling reminder that her vision was deteriorating rapidly!
It was possible that, at any moment, she might lose her sight altogether.
A sense of panic surged from deep within her.
Throughout her morning routine, from changing clothes to getting ready, Lydia and Xyla assisted her.
Natalie noticed that she could discern brighter colors more clearly from her wardrobe. Everything else seemed to blend into a gloomy haze. – At breakfast, Lydia carefully placed a bowl of soup in front of Natalie and cautioned, “Miss, be careful. It’s hot.” Lydia didn’t only caution Natalie. As Natalie reached for a spoon, Lydia promptly handed it over.
“Thank you,” Natalie responded calmly.
But beneath that calm exterior, a storm raged within her.
After a while, Heather called.
Natalie answered, “Mom.” “Why didn’t you join us for breakfast?” “I woke up late. You guys should go ahead.” “You should come home in the morning to spend time with Luna. Since you’re in Simeria, she’ll be upset if you don’t come here.” “Okay, I got it.” When Luna’s name was mentioned, Natalie felt a suffocating tightness in her chest.
Luna…!
This moment intensified Natalie’s resolve: she needed surgery, no matter the cost.
After ending the call, Natalie’s world felt heavy again. She pondered her fortune in having a brother like Clyde in her life.
What would Heather and Stephen do if they had only had Natalie to rely on?
With mixed feelings of relief and burden, Natalie was driven back to the Lotus Villa after breakfast by her driver.
Heather remarked, “What are you up to anyway? Staying home here would be so much better.” “Mom, I need my own space,” Natalie replied.
“Yes, of course. I understand the need for personal space. But…” Heather’s voice trailed off, heavy with concern.
She knew Natalie only wanted to shield them from worry, but seeing her like this only heightened Heather’s own anxieties.
Once they were seated, Heather couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Natalie, did something irritate your eyes recently?” She remembered how stable Natalie’s vision had been, but now it seemed to be deteriorating rapidly. Heather and Stephen couldn’t help but wonder where Natalie had been.
They also believed that Natalie should wear her specialized glasses in bright and intense light. Heather suspected that perhaps during Natalie’s recent visit to Wexford, they hadn’t taken. proper care of her.
Natalie responded, “I did visit Mount Elven recently.” “M–Mount Elven?!” Heather’s voice rose in alarm upon hearing the destination. Suddenly, she jumped up, her voice tinged with panic.
“Have you lost your mind? Haven’t you heard of snow blindness? Even those with normal vision can’t endure it. Why would you…” / The more Heather spoke, the more furious she became!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 548-Once Trusted Natalie hadn’t initially considered the issue, but with her vision deteriorating rapidly after her trip to Mounta Elven, it was hard to ignore the connection.
“You can’t even handle bright lights. How could you…?” Heather was genuinely alarmed. Now, no matter where Natalie wished to go, Heather would likely object, given the harm certain places posed to her eyes.
“It’s not a big deal, Mom,” Natalie tried to reassure.
“Quiet!” Heather’s frustration was palpable, her head throbbing with anger.
“I genuinely forgot,” Natalie admitted.
She had indeed forgotten the warnings from her doctor. Since she seldom visited snowy regions, the advice slipped her mind over time.
She hadn’t anticipated such severe consequences this time around.
“You forgot?! The price of forgetting is getting plunged into darkness! Don’t you “Heather’s tone was more than just pained. understand?
It was frantic!
Feeling the urgency in Heather’s voice, Natalie’s anxiety spiked. “Mom, I’m sorry!” “I don’t want your apologies! I want you to be okay. Can’t you see?” It was the eternal sentiment of a mother, always wishing the best for her child.
Natalie felt a warmth in her heart. She wrapped her arms around Heather’s slender waist. Even with age, Heather remained delicate and slim!
“Don’t be angry, okay? I promise I’ll have the surgery,” Natalie whispered.
“Nat…” “Mom, please don’t worry,” Natalie was enveloped in Heather’s embrace and felt like a vulnerable child.
Heather trembled. She gently stroked Natalie’s soft hair and murmured, “You finally…!” “But…” Natalie interrupted before Heather could finish.
“What?” Heather responded.
Evidently, Heather would consent to anything if it meant Natalie would undergo the surgery.
The surgery was of paramount importance to Natalie. Taking a deep breath, she said, “I won’t “Alright,” Heather nodded in agreement.
She would naturally consent to such terms. novelbin Heather knew all too well how Cedric had once prioritized saving Isabella’s eyes, even at Natalie’s expense.
That was why Natalie didn’t want to hurt anyone with her decision.
She couldn’t bear the thought of harming another for her benefit.
“I’ll agree to that,” Heather assured, her voice firm.
Undoubtedly, upon hearing Natalie’s willingness to undergo the surgery, a weight lifted off Heather’s heart.
Yet, her expression soon turned serious as she asked, “Was it Irwin who forcibly took you to Mount Elven?” Natalie remained silent.
Irwin?!
When Casey discovered information about Blair, Irwin immediately took Natalie to Mount Elven. At the time, she was preoccupied with confronting Irwin and had completely forgotten the essential details, including the doctor’s warnings.
Reflecting on it now…!
Natalie nodded.
The atmosphere instantly chilled, a palpable cold emanating from Heather. It was evident just how infuriated and desperate Heather felt regarding Irwin’s actions!
Irwin…!
He had once been considered trustworthy by the Jarvis family, even a close friend to Stephen.
But now, considering the events between him and Natalie… That was the fundamental reason why Heather would never forgive him!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 549-Luna’s Fear of Cedric Heather wouldn’t allow Natalie to step out of Lotus Villa, not even to return to Hillside Villa.
Resignedly, Natalie had no choice but to stay put.
Inside the study, Stephen glanced at Natalie.
“Your eyesight has truly reached…” Stephen trailed off, and the anguish within his tone was palpable to Natalie.
“Dad!” Natalie interrupted.
“It’s better to have the surgery sooner. It’ll also ease your mother’s worries.” “But I…” “Don’t worry. We’ll arrange for the best surgeons for you.” Stephen seemed to understand Natalie’s concerns and tried to reassure her.
In reality, both Stephen and Heather were anxious, especially fearing the possibility of the surgery failing.
Hence, they were extra cautious in making arrangements.
“Dad,” Natalie began hesitantly.
“Yes?” “I–I’m… genuinely scared…” Natalie had always been concerned about how Stephen and others worried for her. Yet now, at this critical juncture, she couldn’t help but show her genuine fear to her family.
She was truly terrified!
The feeling of darkness was something she never wanted to experience again. She had always protected her eyesight, but things had spiraled to this point despite her efforts.
Did she feel suffocated?
Absolutely.
In her past life, when she opened her eyes, all she encountered was darkness. That moment drove her to madness, instilling profound fear and panic within her.
Yet afterward, she mostly worked on adapting to that darkness.
But this life was different!
The descent into darkness was gradual, making it all the more unbearable for her.
“Don’t be afraid. We’ll all be by your side.” “Okay,” Natalie responded softly, lowering her head as tears trickled down.
Yes, it was different this time.
Even if she couldn’t escape the fate of her past life, at least her family was with her.
It was unlike before when Cedric was the only person she had amidst the darkness. At that time, he was also the man she desperately wanted to distance herself from.
After speaking with Stephen, Natalie spent the morning trying her best to stay close to Luna.
However, this kind of company was painful for her.
She realized that everything else was too blurry apart from the bright red bow atop her daughter’s head.
Even her daughter’s face appeared indistinct.
Previously, Natalie could barely manage to drive herself around. Now, not only was driving out of the question, but she also struggled to see the dashboard clearly.
The thought of navigating roads was even more daunting…!
“Mommy, would you eat this?” Luna’s voice was soft and gentle as she handed something over. The texture was sticky, and Natalie didn’t know what it was.
Natalie reached out based on the shadow. “Thank you.” She tasted it only to discover it was ice cream.
Passing it back to her daughter, she said, “Mommy doesn’t want it. You shouldn’t have too much either.” Since her eyesight deteriorated, Natalie had become particularly cautious about her diet, avoiding spicy and cold foods.
“Mommy.” “Yes?” “Can we go skateboarding?” Luna’s words grew more understandable lately.
Natalie’s heart softened. “Sure.” She got up, allowing herself to be led by her child. Activities like skateboarding were something all children loved to do.

However, for reasons unknown, she stumbled. Unable to see clearly, she lost her balance and leaned forward uncontrollably.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 550-A Bad Guy Natalie felt her heart leap into her throat, thinking she was about to tumble. Then, a sudden force gripped her waist, and a familiar touch enveloped her.
The moment she steadied herself, she pushed him away without even needing to think… Obviously, it was Cedric!
He was the man she least wanted to encounter.
“Waaah! Waaah!” Luna cried out from a short distance away.
Upon hearing her child’s cries, Natalie’s initial cold demeanor melted away, and she seemed disoriented.
“Luna, it’s okay!” Rushing to her daughter, Natalie enveloped her in a comforting embrace. “Mommy, I’m scared!” “Don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here.” “There’s a bad guy… A bad guy!” Luna’s fear stemmed from seeing Cedric. Observing the mother and daughter embrace from a distance, especially hearing the child’s description of him, filled Cedric with a bitter taste.
A bad guy–that was how he was remembered in Luna’s eyes.
Yes, that was the memory he left behind for her.
“Yes, he’s a bad man. Don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here,” With Natalie around, no one would hurt Luna!
She was determined to protect her daughter from anyone who wanted to harm her!
Cedric watched them from a distance, feeling as if his heart was being ruthlessly torn. He felt suffocated by the pain.
When they heard the commotion, Agnes and the servants rushed over. Their hearts pounded fast upon seeing Cedric.
Heather and Stephen had also rushed out..
Upon seeing Cedric, Heather’s voice dripped with hostility.
“What are you doing here?!” Stephen intervened and said, “Go check on Nat.” “Mommy, come quickly!” Her daughter beckoned, waving her hands. Natalie followed her shadow.
However, for reasons unknown, she stumbled. Unable to see clearly, she lost her balance and leaned forward uncontrollably.

Cedric watched them from a distance, feeling as if his heart was being ruthlessly torn. He felt suffocated by the pain.

Heather and Stephen had also rushed out..
Upon seeing Cedric, Heather’s voice dripped with hostility.
“What are you doing here?!” Stephen intervened and said, “Go check on Nat.‘ Suppressing her feelings of resentment toward Cedric upon hearing Stephen’s words, Heather rushed towards Natalie.
“Are you okay, Nat?” Heather crouched down, taking Luna from Natalie’s arms.
Natalie shook her head weakly, “I’m fine.” “I’m fine!” Natalie claimed.
But internally, her emotions were in turmoil.
She had sent the Schneider family in Cedric’s way primarily to ensure that he would never find peace again. Her intent was to keep Cedric away from her life forever.
So, she hadn’t anticipated seeing him here!
Without even asking, Natalie knew the situation back in Wexford. Amidst the chaos, Cedric’s sudden appearance only intensified the tension!
“Come with me,” Heather commanded, clutching Luna tightly with one arm while pulling Natalie along with the other.
In that moment, Heather embodied the fierce protectiveness of a mother and grandmother combined.
She wanted no possibility of further interaction between Natalie and Cedric. Heather could never forgive Cedric for the state Natalie was now in!
Taking hold of both Natalie and Luna, Heather moved swiftly. Her defensive stance against Cedric looked as if she were guarding against a thief.
After they left, only Stephen and Cedric remained.
Stephen met Cedric’s gaze, his expression less than welcoming. “I thought you’d be entirely occupied over in Wexford by now.”
