A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 432

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!"

"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?!

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.
