A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 588

"Well, I think we can consider surgery..." Natalie said.

Cedric replied, "Mr. Larkin has treated over a hundred cases of severe patients like you and has excellent experience. Trust me."

Trust him?

Natalie sneered.

Cedric fell silent. Watching her reaction, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, but he couldn't blame her.

After all, the situation they were in now was mostly caused by him. Cedric didn't say anything to defend himself.

In her heart, he had let her down repeatedly when she needed him the most, and her lack of trust was completely understandable.

It was the consequences of one's actions, as they say.

Cedric was now tasting the bitterness he had brought upon himself.

-

In the courtyard, the scent of traditional medicine permeated the air.

Over the years, being around Heather had given Natalie enough experience to recognize the aroma of these herbs.

This time, the medicine was very bitter.

At lunchtime, a bowl of medicine was handed to Natalie.

"Take your medicine first." Cedric's tone was gentle, as if he wanted to present all his kindness to Natalie.

Once, he had hurt her deeply.

Now, he seemed determined to make amends for everything.

"Do you know how long I have to take this medicine?" Natalie asked.

When she was with Heather, she had been forced to take these medicines without knowing when it would end.

Natalie felt fed up with the constant regimen but couldn't break free from it.

Whenever she resisted, she would be met with Heather's worried gaze. Ultimately, she couldn't bear to see her mother like that.

No matter how bitter the medicine was, she had to take it in front of Heather. Even at the office, Lydia and Xyla would bring it to her, and she had to drink it there. Heather would show up at the company if she didn't, ready to watch her drink it.

At that time, she didn't understand why Heather, her aunt, was so concerned about her.

Later, she finally understood that only true family members would worry about her so much and care for her that way.

"Ugh...!"

As she took a sip, Natalie groaned sharply.

Indeed, it was truly bitter!

Cedric asked, "Is it very bitter?"

The man's eyes were full of distress as he watched her struggle.

Natalie's forehead was already covered in cold sweat, indicating the intensity of the bitterness. It was more bitter than any medicine Heather had given her before.

"It's too bitter." Natalie took a deep breath.

It was not just bitter.

It was unbelievably bitter...!

"Open your mouth," Cedric said.

What?

"Just open it!"

Despite crying, Natalie opened her mouth. In an instant, a piece of sweet rock sugar was placed in her mouth, relieving the bitterness and making her feel much better.

However, it was still uncomfortable.

"Mr. Larkin said you need to take it for at least half a month. But judging by your condition, it will probably take about two months to make a full recovery!"

Two months?!

Adding the over twenty days they had already spent here meant a total of three months!

And he...

"I'll wait and watch you get better," Cedric said bitterly before Natalie could continue her thoughts.

Natalie fell silent.

Watch her get better?

So, would Cedric really do as he had said previously?

Was he really following through with it?

Was he truly going to stay by her side and witness her recovery?
