A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 436

Natalie's world seemed to brighten at that moment as if a dark cloud over her had suddenly dispersed.

In the car, she clutched Irwin's overcoat tightly as she heard him say, "Cedric did a DNA test with Luna. He also did a matching test for Luna and Kayla."

"It doesn't matter anymore," she admitted.

Whenever Cedric unlocked his phone, he would see it.

However, in order to proceed with Kayla's surgery, Cedric had cut off almost all means of communication.

No matter what Natalie tried, she couldn't reach him.

Cedric made people feel both despair and anger.

Now that Natalie knew Cedric's and Luna's whereabouts, the first thought that crossed her mind upon seeing Cedric... was that she wanted him dead!

"He just had the hospital feed Luna nutrients!"

Natalie's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this.

She looked at Irwin. "What do you mean?"

Clearly, at this moment, Natalie hadn’t grasped the full weight of Irwin's words.

The speed of Irwin's car was alarmingly fast!

"Luna has been refusing to eat, and yet... he wants to proceed with Kayla's surgery!"

Natalie's expression worsened, becoming increasingly volatile.

Luna had been refusing to eat?!

It had been a few days!

She was starting to lose track of how many days had passed since Cedric took Luna. During this time, Luna had refused to eat.

Yet, with all this happening, Cedric still wanted to go ahead with Kayla's surgery?!

"He knows that Luna is his daughter, right?" Natalie almost whispered, her voice barely audible.

Irwin nodded. "Yes."

Natalie's world seemed to crumble around her. She had never fully understood the extent of someone's moral ambiguity. But now, she felt surrounded by shadows, and the darkness was paralyzing.

Even with the knowledge that Luna was his daughter, Cedric hadn't changed his mind?!

He was still pushing for Kayla's surgery?!

Did the knowledge hurt?

At this moment, Natalie felt numbness more than pain.

They said when someone was hurt to the extreme, they become numb.

She had grown numb to Cedric a long time ago.

This numbness was now accompanied by a chilling darkness.

Her hands clenched involuntarily!

Her nails dug into her palms, drawing traces of blood. Yet, she felt no pain, just a profound sense of numbness.

The pain had left her so numb that she couldn't feel anymore!

The car's speed reached its peak!

At the hospital, Kyle watched as Luna, held down by doctors and nurses, struggled fiercely, crying hysterically.

Children often fear needles. Luna, who had suffered from smoke inhalation when Natalie was pregnant, had never been in the best health since birth.

Needles and IV drips were routine for her, and the moment she saw the nurse approach with the needle, her cries were heart-wrenching.

Kyle subconsciously glanced at Cedric, who was standing aside smoking. The tension in his brow deepened, and his aura grew even more intense.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy...!" Luna's frantic struggles and cries made even someone as hardened as Kyle feel an uncomfortable tug at his heart.

"She's already broken two needles!" Kyle's voice trembled with urgency.

Indeed.

Such a small child, and yet, the first two attempts to insert the needle had failed.

After an hour, Luna's cries grew hoarse.

At Cedric's feet lay countless cigarette butts.

"How did it go?" He was referring to the broken needles.

Kyle remained silent, eyes lowered in contemplation.

Just then, a nurse attending to Kayla rushed over, "Mr. Johnson, something terrible has happened! A group of people suddenly appeared by Miss Kayla's room and are trying to force their way in."

Cedric and Kyle were speechless.
