Chapter 233 Wishing for Her Death

The medical staff and Leon frowned as they looked at Natalie.

Leon stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Let’s discuss everything once we’re out of here.”

Undoubtedly, now that Irwin had left Verde City and they couldn’t reach Stephen, Cedric would be

wishing for her death.

The only way for her to escape was through this child.

That was how important the child was to Natalie’s survival right now

Would Natal e not know the significance of the child?

She never planned to use or involve anyone throughout her life, in this life or her previous one.

It was also the same now.

So, of course, she understood the child’s importance!

“Leon, you don’t understand,” Natalie said to Leon, her tone calm yet mysterious.

As a mother, being unable to protect her child was the greatest punishment for a woman.

How could she resort to any means to use her child?

More importantly, if she left here because of the child, Cedric would surely find out.

She… didn’t want to create more trouble.

Cedric was insane.

Who knew what he would do when he found out?

He was determined to keep her in here this time. Natalie thought… that Cedric wouldn’t change his

mind just because of the child.

“But Mr. Jarvis…” Leon trailed off, but Natalie understood without him finishing the sentence.

Stephen had been unreachable, and he was in Simeria. He was too far, and he didn’t have the time or

about her.

But asking her to use this child… She couldn’t do it!

Without responding to Leon, she bluntly asked the medical staff, “What procedures do I need to

follow?”

Looking at Natalie’s stubborn and determined face, Leon realized that since returning to Stephen’s

side.

this was the first time she had shown such assertiveness.

This firm attitude meant that nothing he said now would change her mind…

When the medical staff looked at Natalie, her initial sternness softened somewhat. There was even a

touch of pity in her eyes.

To what extent had this woman been hurt by a man that she wouldn’t even consider using the child of

that man?

“Aboveboard procedures are somewhat complicated. If you’re determined to proceed, I’ll help you with

the paperwork,” the medical staff said.

Natalie nodded. “Thank you.”

The medical staff stared at Natalie for a long while before turning and leaving the room.

Only Natalie and Leon remained in the infirmary. Leon looked at Natalie’s pale face, wanting to say

something.

Then the phone rang

Leon glanced at the number and picked it up.

“Karina.”

Whatever was said on the other end made Leon look at Natalie even more concerned. After a brief

conversation, he hung up.

There was not just concern in his eyes when he looked at Natalie. There was also a deep sense of

solemnness

“What happened?” Natalie asked.

Leon hesitated, but he finally said, “Karina said they rejected the lawyer’s bail request.”

“The request they submitted about me carrying a child?” Natalie asked.

“Yes.”

I

Natalie, who had refused to use the child, was now rejected even though she was pregnant. It

indicated.

that something was wrong in the situation.

Undoubtedly, it was Cedric. Cedric had Intervened in this matter and refused her bail. He hadn’t

thought

about letting her out again after bringing her to this place.

Natalie had to admit that he was truly ruthless.

She fell silent. This silence emitted an unconscious sense of desolation throughout her body despite

Natalie repeatedly claiming she didn’t care.

But now, that man had completely disregarded their past, destroying her to this extent for Isabella and

Christina…

Who could bear it?

Leon approached and handed Natalie a cup of water,

“Have a drink.”

“Thank you.”

Natalie took the water absentmindedly. Hastily taking a sip, she choked.

She tried to close her mouth to swallow, but it was as if she was trying to swallow something extremely

bitter.

It seemed that only enduring this kind of physical discomfort could relieve the stifling pain in her chest.

After arriving at the company, Cedric stayed alone in the office for a long time.

When Lucas came in with meeting materials, the thick smell of smoke in the room made people dizzy.

Cedric pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and suddenly asked, “Is everything arranged for

Bella?”

“Was there something to arrange?” Lucas asked and stiffened.

Obviously, he didn’t understand what Cedric was saying. When Cedric received that call in the car,

Lucas

felt that something was obviously

y wrong.

After that, Cedric ordered him to ensure that Natalie didn’t get bailed out.

So, what arrangements were there to make for Isabella? Cedric hadn’t said anything!

And now Cedric remembered that while he was preoccup

with Natalie, he neglected the person who

Rubbing his forehead, he pinched the throbbing spot between his eyebrows.

“Assign Kyle to stay with Bella.”

“Sir?” Lucas looked at Cedric in shock.

Kyle Lester?!

He was currently in Meridiania. He hadn’t returned to Verde City in years, indicating that he wouldn’t

come back unless absolutely necessary.

Even during the turmoil in the Johnson family years ago, Cedric didn’t call Kyle back to protect him.

However, now he wanted Kyle to come back and stay by Isabella’s side?!

“Did something happen?” Lucas asked without waiting for Cedric to respond.

Requesting Kyle’s return indicated that the phone call today was not a small matter.

Something big must have occurred.

It was only now that Lucas understood that Cedric’s decision to keep Natalie inside might not be ast

simple as he had initially thought.

But Kyle…

“Stop talking nonsense. Just get him back!”

The man’s voice was loud, and there was a chilly undertone to it.

Lucas looked at Cedric. He wanted to say something but ultimately kept his words to himself when he

saw the icy look in Cedric’s eyes.

Something significant had happened, that was Lucas’s current understanding.

Even with the pregnancy, Natalie was denied bail. Further, there was still no contact with Stephen,

which

had never happened before.

Could it be that Stephen believed Cedric’s identification report?

Did he think Natalie wasn’t his niece and decided to ignore everything?

But that was unlikely,

Knowing Karina and Leon’s understanding of Stephen, they wouldn’t expect him to remain silent if it

were

just about the identification report.

Either Stephen wanted Natalie to leave Sylvan Gems, or he planned to take action against her.

+15 BONUS

However, nothing happened so far, which left people puzzled.

Natalie was caught in a vortex of unknown situations, and she found herself in a dire situation.

All the evidence against her from Sylvan Gems had gone through screening in a short time.

Whether it was witness testimony or physical evidence, everything pointed towards Natalie.

Currently, aside from Leon, even Karina couldn’t see her.

After another round of questioning. Leon looked at Natalie with concern.

“How are you feeling?

“I’m fine.”

Although she claimed to be fine, her complexion revealed the burden she carried.

Without waiting for Leon to speak, Natalie said, “I can’t communicate with the outside world now, right?”
