A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 435

Luna was just a child.

Having been surrounded by familiar faces from a young age, it was evident how frightened Luna was in this unfamiliar environment.

Cedric pinched the bridge of his throbbing forehead, feeling an overwhelming headache coming on.

The doctor entered with a grave expression, "Mr. Johnson, you need to come with me."

It was Kayla's attending physician.

Cedric's heart skipped a beat. He rose, casting a fleeting glance at the tiny figure on the bed before turning away.

Passing by Kyle at the doorway, Cedric uttered, "Make sure she eats."

"Understood." Kyle nodded, his eyes deepening with concern.

Watching Cedric's swift departure, Kyle stepped into the room, observing the incessantly crying child on the bed and the untouched bowl of soup beside her.

"Luna," Kyle said gently, taking a seat beside the bed. His eyes were filled with compassion as he murmured, "Shall we eat something first?"

But Luna continued to cry.

"Is it because you don't like it?"

"I miss Grandma! I miss Mommy," Luna said with a mournful tone.

These were the most frequent words she had uttered over the past few days. The longing for her mother and grandmother was evident.

"Let's eat first, alright? Once you've eaten, I'll take you to see your mom."

"I don't want to! I don't want to!" Luna protested.

It was clear that this tactic wasn't working.

Without seeing Natalie and Heather, Luna refused even to eat.

Outside, the entire Simeria was in turmoil, especially with the Jarvis family creating chaos.

Kyle could only imagine the impending chaos that would ensue if this continued on.

Worry clouded his eyes.

Meanwhile, Cedric met with the professor.

The professor glanced at the medical records and regretfully said, "We can't postpone the surgery any longer."

Cedric felt a weight in his chest, almost suffocating upon hearing those words.

The severity of the illness had caught him off guard.

It was ruthless, and Cedric was not just worried about Kayla but also...

"Is there any other way?" Cedric asked with urgency, considering Luna's non-cooperative state.

She refused to eat, and under such conditions, the surgery might pose risks to her well-being.

Regrettably, the professor shook his head.

Cedric closed his eyes momentarily, gathering his thoughts. When he reopened them, his determination was evident.

As Cedric walked away from the professor, he glanced through the glass of the intensive care unit, seeing the fragile figure lying inside.

In just a short span, she had lost so much weight, her complexion paler than ever.

She...!

Images of Kayla's cautious gaze whenever she looked at him flashed in Cedric's mind, along with the despair that followed every time Natalie hurt her.

It seemed as though she hadn't experienced happiness in her life. Now, afflicted with such a disease, it felt like she could depart at any moment.

Cedric didn't know how he made his way back to Luna's hospital room.

Kyle stood gravely by the doorway.

Cedric asked, "How is she?"

"She still refuses to eat," Kyle replied.

Cedric remained silent, processing the information.

She still refused to eat?!

It was clear Luna was being stubborn. With her diminishing strength, she wouldn't have the energy to protest for much longer.

"Your Excellency, perhaps it's best to send her back," Kyle suggested after a moment's contemplation.
