A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Do You Understand the Pain of Surgery? 

Upstairs, Natalie was about to go crazy! 

Just thinking about Bianca getting injured and needing five stitches made her mind race with questions. 

Why was Bianca injured? Why did she need stitches? 

The sheer volume of information made it impossible for her to calm down. 

“I said I would ensure she lives. I didn’t say I could guarantee her safety!” 

“Can you?” 

“No!” 

Natalie was silent. 

Breathing became difficult, and her chest tightened. 

From Cedric’s response, she could deduce that Bianca had probably gotten involved with someone very dangerous.. 

Otherwise, why would even Cedric say he couldn’t guarantee Bianca’s safety? 

“And you can’t control what happens to Bianca!” 

She felt like she was suffocating again! 

What did he mean that she couldn’t control it? 

Hearing Cedric say this made her chest not only tight but also filled with fear. 

Who had Bianca provoked? Why did Cedric say she couldn’t control it? 

“I used to be able to stand up against you, so now I can definitely handle Bianca’s affairs,” Natalie said slowly. 

Yes, she could handle it! 

“That was different!” 

“It’s not different. You used to go all out against me, didn’t you?” 

I seemed that there was nothing else to say between them. 

Cedric felt a headache building up! 

+25 BONUS 

He had to admit that women could really hold grudges. Once someone touched their bottom line, who knew how long they would remember it? 

Cedric was genuinely afraid. 

The two stared at each other in silence, unsure of what to say. Anything they said would feel 

like a direct ab to the other’s heart. 

After taking a shower, Cedric came out. 

As expected, Natalie wasn’t in the bedroom. 

In the end, he found her in a guest room! 

When he turned on the light, Natalie instinctively covered her face with the blanket as if she disliked the light. 

Light. 

Cedric recalled back at Hillside Villa when the maid had expressed concern about Natalie and mentioned the light. 

Unfortunately, Cedric currently knew nothing about Natalie’s health! 

She had no medical records in the past two years, indicating that the Jarvis family had always arranged for doctors to provide specialized care at home. 

“It seems I have to be careful when exchanging information with you in the future.” 

This woman was a classic case of burning bridges. 

Natalie lay on the bed. The fact that she could be under the same roof as Cedric was already her limit. 

How could she willingly share a room with him? 

But Cedric didn’t care about that. 

He went straight to her and lifted her off the bed 

“Cedric, don’t you know not to cross the line?!” 

“I don’t care about that!” 

After saying this, he carried Natalie back to the master bedroom. 

Yes, he didn’t care about that now. 

Respecting her? Going along with her? 

+25 BONUS 

All those things would only make the distance between her and himself grow further. Rather, those things would maintain the distance between them, and he would go i mad. 

So, he decided to completely embrace the image of the shameless man she described. 

Natalie was furious but helpless to resist. 

“Can you turn off the lights?” 

The brightness of the lights felt like needles stabbing her eyes. She didn’t like this kind of lighting either. 

Cedric frowned. 

“Are your eyes uncomfortable?” 

A night spent under the fluorescent lights could be irritating to anyone’s nerves, even Cedric, who was generally laid–back. 

Natalie didn’t respond. Sensing her discomfort, Cedric got up and dimmed the lights. Once he did that, he felt her tension ease. 

Seeing her silhouette with her back turned, a suffocating feeling filled Cedric’s chest. 

He climbed onto the bed, approached her from behind, and embraced her. 

He expected her to struggle, but she didn’t. She just remained calm in his arms. It was a calmness that carried a sense of distance. 

Though she was physically there, she seemed miles away. 

Feeling this, Cedric tightened his embrace. “Nat.” 

It was a soft murmur, but Natalie showed no reaction. 

Finally, she was in his arms. 

Two years… To others, it seemed like a short time. But for him, it felt like countless years. 

In his previous life, Cedric didn’t know how many days and nights he spent accompanying Natalie in the rehabilitation hospital after she became a vegetable. 

The heart–wrenching pain during that period…! 

When Natalie finally died, he felt as if he had lost everything and couldn’t get back on his feet again. 

In this life, he pursued her across time and space only to receive news of her death again. 

Now, he was finally holding her in his arms again 

Regardless of their feelings for each other, he was unwilling to let go. 

+25 BONUS 

That night, Natalie tossed and turned in a restless sleep. 

Cedric, on the other hand, slept better than ever 

In the morning, Natalie picked up her phone to call Wendy, intending to have her come over and pick Natalie up. 

However, Cedric snatched the phone away. 

“We’re not going to the company today!” 

His tone was firm, almost commanding. 

Naturally, Natalie didn’t appreciate his attitude.
