Chapter 127 Waiting All Along

+15 BONUS

Rebecca had urgent matters to attend to and had to leave. Seeing that Christina was there, Rebecca

decided to leave her there to accompany Isabella.

“Stay here with Bella for two hours, okay? I’ll be back soon. Also, don’t let her answer any calls!”

Rebecca was a bit muddle headed at this moment. She had forgotten that she had broken Isabella’s

phone a while ago.

Christina’s heart burned with jealousy, but she nodded obediently. “Don’t worry and go; I’ll be here.”

“Oh, you’re such a darling girl.” Rebecca was relieved to find Christina so reliable, then left without

worry.

When only Christina and Isabella were left, Christina looked at Isabella’s pale face with a mocking

smile.

“You’re even more difficult to deal with than Natalie.”

The words carried a hint of sarcasm. Back in the Johnson family, aside from Cedric, no one liked

Natalie.

On the contrary, Isabella was formidable.

Everyone, especially Rebecca, liked her a lot..

Rebecca’s approval meant so much.

And Isabella had earned it.

Isabella asked, “Ms. Johnson, what’s the point of telling me that now?”

Ms Johnson?! What an unfamiliar way to address her!

Christina stepped forward, raised her hand, and delivered a slap!

Smack!

“You ungrateful bitch!”

After their collaboration, Isabella was supposed to disappear completely.

But now, this unexpected turn of events had happened!

Christina was infuriated. She looked at Isabella’s uncovered eyes, and the wound still looked as

hideous

as ever.

She coldly gripped Isabella’s chin with her icy fingers.

“You’re playing such a dangerous game. Aren’t you afraid of your surgery failing for real?”

Even though it’s a game, would I play it without assurance? Christina, you’re barking up the wrong

tree.”

Isabella’s words turned Christina’s gloomy face even darker.

Christina’s chest heaved continuously, revealing just how furious she was.

“Heh, you’re confident. Just don’t end up losing your sight for a lifetime!” Christina felt even more

frustrated looking at isabella’s indifferent expression.

Turning around, she said after some thought, “Ced doesn’t seem to have moved on from Natalie. Don’t

even dream of being the young mistress of the Johnson family!”

“I’ve said it before; that’s not the position I want.”

“You’re just being stubborn!”

At this moment, Christina was unwilling to believe Isabella.

She claimed to hate Natalie?

didi

Of course, she did!

Christina also hated Natalie for having Cedric for so many years. So, Christina thought she knew what

was going on in Isabella’s mind very clearly.

After leaving the hospital, Christina’s eyes glinted with a sinister light. She dialed a number on her

phone,

and the other end quickly answered.

“Tina!”

“I have a deal to propose. Are you

“What is it?”

in or out?”

Christina looked at the bustling street. Then, she closed her eyes, hiding the venom that flashed in

them.

Don’t blame me for this, Isabella!/

Christina hadn’t initially wanted to completely break ties with this ally. After all, Natalie had been swiftly

expelled from the Johnson family with her help.

However, now it seemed that Isabella’s presence in her life might last even longer than Natalie’s

In that case, she had no reason to hold back anymore.

The donor had arrived, and the hospital was preparing for the surgery.

When Cedric arrived at the ward, he found it empty. Isabella was all alone on the hospital bed, reaching

out as if trying to grab something.

It was a particularly painful sight to behold.

He approached and asked, “What do you want?”

“Ced,” Isabella softly called out when she recognized Cedric’s voice.

“Yeah. What do you want?”

“I want water.”

“No, the doctor said you can’t eat or drink anything for two hours.”

Technically, she didn’t need the surgery right at this moment. There was still time. But Cedric was

worried

that something might change on the donor’s side, so the surgery was scheduled immediately.

Isabella reached out to Cedric, who instantly caught her wrist. “What’s wrong?”

Isabella didn’t see it, but reluctance had flashed in Cedric’s eyes.

She said, “I want to try to adapt to this darkness.”

The way she spoke sounded truly pitiful!

It must be said that Isabella truly understood men. She knew exactly how to grasp a man’s soft spot.

Cedric patted her head and said, “No need to adapt; you’ll be able to see soon.”

“R–really?”

“Yes, they’re already preparing for the surgery.”

Isabella’s face instantly lit up with joy upon hearing this. God knew how fearful she was of these days

when she couldn’t see anything.

Just thinking about it felt difficult!

“R–really?”

Before she truly went blind, it was already difficult to find a pair of eyes for her.

+15 BONUS

So this time… Had Cedric managed to get Natalie’s?

“Yeah.”

“B–but… What about Natalie…?” Isabella expressed some concern.

The joy that had just risen on her face was now concealed, giving way to a trace of reluctance. Looking

at

her from this angle, she seemed so kind–how could one bear to hurt such a kind person?

Cedric took a deep breath. “Don’t worry, it’s not hers.”

How could that woman be willing?

In his mind, every time he discussed this matter with Natalie, she was always so hysterical. If they

didn’t

find a pair of eyes quickly, he truly feared that Isabella might never regain her sight.

Just the thought of such an outcome was suffocating.

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat.

However, none of her feelings showed before Cedric. “It’s not her’s?”

“It isn’t.”

“Good… That’s good!” She said this, but the revelation left a bitter taste in her mouth.

After plotting so much, she still hadn’t gotten Natalie’s eyes. She wanted to close her eyes, but there

was

no sensation in her eye sockets.

So, many of her emotions were buried inside. But it was probably for the best.

After all, she couldn’t show what she truly felt in front of Cedric, right?

But Natalie…!

Thinking about how hysterical she had been in front of Natalie before, she wanted to watch as Cedric

personally took Natalie’s eyes.

She even wanted to watch as Cedric personally sent Natalie to prison.

Now, she was blind and…

Yet this was the outcome?!

“That’s good. Otherwise, she would have come to bother you again!”

Despite the turmoil in Isabella’s heart, she continued to excel in her acting.

Cedric looked at how sensible Isabella was being and felt a twinge of reluctance.

1 apologize on her behalf.”

“No need. She’s sensitive and fragile. After the surgery, let’s not meet again.” Isabella said.

Every word and sentence she spoke sounded like she was speaking on Natalie’s behalf and

considering

Cedric’s feelings.

The more she spoke this way, the more guilty Cedric felt.

“Bella!”

“Ced, I appreciate your care for me all this time. However, if it affects your life, I won’t feel good about

it.”

“I want you to be well and have a good life with her!”

Hearing this, Cedric looked at Isabella’s sincere face. He closed his eyes and said, “We’ll be fine.”

They would be fine, of course!

After Isabella’s affairs were settled, he would deal with Natalie properly!

Thinking about his time in a frenzy because of Isabella’s affairs and how Natalie had caused a mess…!
