A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 423

At this moment, to Cedric, Natalie's resolute stance was undoubtedly because of Kayla.

Taking a deep breath, he fiercely drew on his cigarette before stating to Natalie, "I'll send her away as soon as possible."

What was once a definitive statement had now become a vague promise.

This indicated just how significant a place Kayla held in Cedric's heart due to his relationship with Isabella.

The crux of the matter wasn't about sending Kayla away. It was evident that Cedric genuinely couldn't bear the thought of parting with the child.

Natalie fell silent.

For them, this was a pointless topic.

As Cedric rose to leave, he issued a warning in his tone, "Don't see Irwin again."

Bang!

Before Natalie could even react with a word, Cedric had already left.

She remained seated, placing the pig on the chaise longue with a wry smile.

Don't see Irwin?

He was seriously...

First, Caleb, and now Irwin.

That night, Natalie tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She was jolted awake by a commotion outside—hurried footsteps followed by the roar of an engine.

The next morning, when she descended the stairs to the dining room, it was eerily quiet without Cedric and Kayla.

Approaching the breakfast table, she noticed a meager spread that was far simpler than when Cedric was around. Just some plain soup and a few side dishes, looking hastily put together.

"Where are they?" Natalie asked coldly, addressing the butler standing nearby.

The butler glanced her way, responding in a chilly tone devoid of respect, "Miss had a high fever last night. Master took her to the hospital, and the nanny went along."

A sharp glint flashed in Natalie's eyes as she abruptly rose, causing the chair to screech uncomfortably against the floor.

Seeing her stand up, the butler hurriedly inquired, "Are you heading to the hospital?"

Though phrased as a question, the tone suggested Natalie ought to be at the hospital.

With a mocking smirk, Natalie replied, "Do I need to tell you where I'm going?"

The butler instantly paled at her words.

As Natalie strode out, she couldn't shake off the feeling of being treated dismissively just because Cedric and Kayla were absent.

It wasn't that she cared about these things, but these kinds of people made her uncomfortable.

Over the years with Cedric, she had tolerated such disrespect far too often.

After her time with the Johnson family...!

She wouldn't let just anyone dictate her actions or endure such treatment.

Pausing at the door, she threw a final question over her shoulder, "Has he mentioned when he'll be back?"

The butler said, "Miss has been running a fever for two consecutive nights, and her condition is critical."

The implication was that time was of the essence.

A chill deepened in Natalie's eyes.

She spun around and headed straight upstairs. From below, the butler asked, "Are you still having breakfast?"

"Feed it to the dogs!" Natalie snapped back, making her way to her room.

Memories of Irwin and Cedric's faces intertwined in her mind. Soon enough, Bianca's name flashed on her phone.

The call connected swiftly. "Nat."

"Bia, if Zane gets hold of those documents, will it be enough to bring down Malcolm?" Natalie cut straight to the point.

Bianca was silent.

For a moment, she couldn't react!

"What do you mean?"

"Those documents. They're crucial for anyone related to the Entes family, right?"
