A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 135 Failed Surgery

So now that Stephen’s niece had come out, it was inevitable that those with ulterior motives would seek

alternatives.

Hence, Natalie needed to be cautious. Seeing how smart she was, Stephen felt somewhat reassured.

Then, he pushed several other tickets to Natalie. “There are two art exhibitions this month. Go and see

them with Irv.”

“That many?”

“Whether someone is suitable or not not only depends on shared interests and values but also on the

ability to accommodate each other.”

Irwin liked concerts, while Natalie liked art exhibitions.

Understanding Stephen’s intention, Natalie felt deeply moved. Taking a deep breath, she forcefully

suppressed the pain in her chest.

“Uncle.”

“You feel like crying?”

“No, I’m not going to cry!”

“That’s good!”

Stephen couldn’t stand seeing women cry, as he had caused a few women to cry in his younger days.

Natalie was truly touched. The warmth and kindness that Stephen gave her was always present.

That night, Natalie slept well as usual.

Meanwhile, Cedric had been losing sleep for several nights. Natalie’s situation weighed heavily on his

heart like a stone.

Finally, at daybreak, Rebecca called.

Rebecca felt a dull pain in her heart.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in her chest.

In the past, she might have retorted harshly to Cedric’s attitude because of Natalie. However, now that

they suddenly knew Natalie’s identity, they probably needed to carefully consider their position.

“Isabella is having her stitches removed today. I’m heading to the hospital now. Will you also be

coming?”

“Yeah.”

If Rebecca hadn’t called, Cedric would have forgotten that Isabella had undergone an operation and

that Isaac had yet to return.

After leaving the hospital that day, Cedric had been calling Isaac’s phone repeatedly, but there was no

answer on the other end.

After Yuvan looked into it, they found out that Isaac had left Verde City and gone abroad immediately

after leaving the hospital.

It was clear that something important had come up, or he wouldn’t have left without a word.

Rebecca and Christina arrived at the hospital together. They bumped into Cedric in the hospital lobby.

“Ced,” Christina called out.

She unconsciously approached him, wanting to cling to his arm as she usually did.

However, Cedric, who used to be easygoing, subconsciously avoided her.

“Ced?” Christina sensed Cedric’s distance and sounded a bit flustered.

But Cedric ignored her and walked straight to Rebecca. Rebecca understood what was going on.

Cedric was upset with Christina because of Natalie!

“Don’t blame Tina for what happened before,” Rebecca whispered, wrapping her arm around Cedric’s.

Rebecca had not allowed anyone to get close to Natalie while she had been in the Johnson family, and

Rebecca had obviously influenced Christina.

INUS

In the past, she always had a great relationship with Cedric. Because of that, she often embarrassed

Natalie, and Cedric hadn’t noticed at all.

In addition, Natalie had never been good at words and never said anything to Cedric. This caused

Rebecca and the others to be unrestrained in their actions.

Faced with the consequences now, they felt uneasy.

Rebecca saw that Cedric didn’t respond and didn’t push him. She continued, “I’ve arranged a property

and

a maid for Isabella. She can move in when she’s discharged.”

Without much thought, it was clear that Rebecca’s arrangement had a purpose. Even though Isabella’s

brother was Cedric’s benefactor, there were limits to gratitude.

Cedric appreciated the arrangement.

“Your arrangements are fine,” Cedric nodded.

This way, when Isabella was discharged, everything would be settled!

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Cedric didn’t object.

All if them could tell that Cedric still had feelings for Natalie! But when Natalie was still around, Cedric’s

attention was divided between her and Isabella.

So, if Cedric had any special arrangements for Isabella, it would be challenging for Rebecca.

In Isabella’s hospital room, the doctor and nurse were prepared.

When they saw Cedric, Dr. Landry respectfully approached and said, “Mr. Johnson, Ms. Morgan

insisted on waiting for you before removing the stitches.”

“She said she wanted you to be the person she first sees when she opens her eyes!”

Cedric didn’t react much to this statement. However, Christina, who was following behind him, couldn’t

hide her displeasure at that moment.

Isabella! How dare she?!

Las begin Cedric’s tone was indifferent.

He turned around and started to remove Isabella’s stitches.

Rebecca glanced at Cedric and breathed a sigh of relief. The bandages were removed slowly, and the

lights in the room were dimmed to avoid hurting Isabella’s eyes after the surgery.

As it was a surgery, it was impossible to say the process looked beautiful.

“Okay, open your eyes slowly,” Dr. Landry instructed.

Isabella’s heart was pounding. Since Cedric arrived, she hadn’t said a word. Obviously, she was

nervous. about the unveiling of her eyes.

“Ced.”

“Yeah.”

“Come in front of me,” Isabella said softly.

She knew.

She knew that Christina was there too.

Thinking about Christina’s actions during this time, Isabella wanted to teach Christina a lesson. Even

though Natalie was the one who ultimately caused her harm, Isabella still wanted Christina to know that

she was not someone Christina could manipulate.

Cedric approached Isabella and softly said, “Open your eyes, hmm?”

“Okay.” Isabella nodded.

The smile on her lips was so beautiful.

Isabella’s innocence made people feel pity for her. Even Rebecca, who had certain intentions before,

couldn’t resist when she saw Isabella at this moment.

Slowly, Isabella lifted her eyelids, revealing her eyes.

“It’s a bit painful.”

Relax a bit,” Dr. Landry reminded from the side.

After all, spending too much time in the dark and losing sensation around the eyes for an extended

period would naturally require time to adjust.

la didn’t think much and gradually opened her eyes

But then..

“How is it?” Cedric looked at Isabella’s somewhat lifeless eyes, his tone carrying a hint of nervousness.

Isabella blinked, closed her eyes, and then opened them again!

Her expression changed completely.

“Bella?” Cedric’s tone tightened.

Reaching out, he waved his hand in front of Isabella’s eyes.

Rebecca’s heart was in her throat, and her voice trembled slightly, “Bella, how is it?”
