A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 434

Time continued to tick away relentlessly.

Because of Cedric's thorough preparations, the Jarvis family couldn't find any trace of the child.

Luna wasn't here.

There was no trace of her!

Natalie had scoured every hospital in Simeria, her appearance growing more disheveled with each passing moment. She resembled a madwoman lost in despair.

As she exited yet another hospital in disappointment, Irwin's car was parked outside.

He stepped out and saw Natalie's disheveled state, devoid of any semblance of composure.

Her appearance radiated sheer desperation. If she had to sacrifice herself at this moment to ensure Luna's safety, she wouldn't hesitate, right?

With frantic fingers, she dialed Cedric's number repeatedly. Upon hearing his phone switched off, she sent messages, acknowledging Luna's identity and even making a final plea.

[I'll be the donor. I'll save her!]

Deep down, the desperation she felt when sending that message was unfathomable.

She had compromised.

She had!

Even though she was disgusted with everything related to Isabella, she finally submitted to him...

All for the sake of ensuring Cedric wouldn't harm Luna!

-

Meanwhile, Cedric received the test results.

"Your Excellency," Kyle spoke with a grave expression, holding up the conclusive results.

Luna was indeed Cedric's daughter, and the compatibility between her and Kayla had been confirmed.

As Cedric's eyes scanned the paternity report, emotions of tenderness and conflict flashed across his eyes.

When had that woman started to lie to him so blatantly?

Currently, Luna was on the hospital bed and had cried herself to sleep again.

Observing the innocent face of the sleeping child, Cedric's gaze softened even more.

"Has she been tested for physical compatibility?" he asked, voice laced with concern.

Though organ donation posed minimal risks to a healthy donor, Luna appeared so fragile.

Ultimately, it was still a surgery. Now, even more so, Cedric couldn't afford any mishaps!

When Kyle heard Cedric's question, he... couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Natalie.

The question indicated Cedric's decision. Even knowing Luna was his child, he still chose her to save Kayla.

"In the past three days, whenever she's awake, she's crying. She hardly eats anything," Kyle responded gravely. His words hinted that despite the child's good care at the Jarvis residence, the recent days had taken a toll on her.

Luna's health wasn't particularly good now, and making the decision to proceed with surgery on her was unwise.

Cedric's voice grew heavy, "She hasn't eaten anything?"

Kyle lowered his head, hiding the turmoil in his eyes. "The nurses tried, but the child just kept crying."

Upon hearing this, a chill emanated from Cedric.

Throughout the wait, he had avoided seeing Luna, clearly reluctant to witness her distress. Yet, upon learning she hadn't eaten, he approached her.

Luna sat on the bed, trembling from exhaustion, likely from crying too much. The nurse tried to coax her, "Sweetheart, just take a bite. You need to eat."

"Luna," Cedric began.

"Grandma said not to eat food from strangers," Luna said, interrupting him.

"I'm not a stranger, I'm..." Cedric's voice choked, unable to finish.

Could he say he was her father?

Luna had no memory of ever having one.

"I want my mommy," Luna sobbed again.

No one truly understood the kind of torment this place had been for her these past three days. Especially at night, her yearning intensified, and the nurses took turns trying to soothe her.

The nurses were nearing their breaking point, constantly on edge. Whenever they closed their eyes, they felt they could hear Luna's cries, causing them to question their sanity.

"Luna, let's eat first, okay?" Cedric tried to speak patiently, but Luna wailed loudly.

"I want my mommy! I want my mommy!"

Her persistence revealed the nurses' struggles over the past few days. Luna seemed almost defiant, refusing to listen, desperate only to find her mother.

"Luna!" Cedric's tone grew stern.

Clearly, he had reached his limits, especially with Kayla's deteriorating condition. The medical team had warned that without surgery soon, they might miss the critical window.

"I want my mommy! Sob, sob..." Luna cried louder, sensing Cedric's rising tension.

Bang!

In the end, Cedric's patience shattered.

He slammed the bowl onto the small table, startling Luna even more.
