Chapter 128 A Change in Surgeon

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…

In Isabella’s heart, a storm raged. It was constantly contorting, but she covered it up exceptionally well.

“Go and comfort her. She loves you so much, I’m sure she’ll remarry you!”

Cedric remained silent. When he thought of Stephen being Natalie’s uncle, a sense of anxiety filled

him.

When did she start completely isolating him from her life?

She didn’t share anything with him.

During this time….!

Stephen gave her everything she had, and she even sat in the CEO’s position at Sylvan Gems

In the past, Cedric never believed that Natalie had any work capabilities. At this moment, he still

doubted

her talents. Looking at her studio, he had to admit that she at least had some managerial talent.

“Ced. Ced?”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong with you? You didn’t respond when I called you!”

Isabella had just been chattering away, but Cedric hadn’t heard a word.

Cedric returned to his senses and said, “It’s nothing. You’ll be having surgery soon, okay?”

“I’m telling you, about Natalie…”

“You don’t have to interfere in the matters between us!”

“I’m fine. I’ve thought things through. I don’t want you to divorce her because of me!” Isabella quickly

spoke, completely unaware of the dark aura emanating from Cedric

When it came to the divorce, Cedric felt like

it was a massive stone lodged in his chest.

He had given her some freedom for a while, but now…!

She seemed to be slipping away from his grasp even more.

He was the prodigy of the entire Verde City. Yet, at this moment, he had to admit that his own wife had

dumped him.

This divorce was not at all dignified!

Just as Isabella was about to say something, nurses and doctors entered the room. They respectfully

addressed Cedric, “Mr. Johnson, the operating room is ready.”

“Alright.” Cedric nodded. Then he looked at Isabella and said, “The surgery is about to start, okay?”

Surgery!

When he uttered those three words, Cedric felt a moment of relief, as if everything would be completely

resolved once Isabella underwent the operation.

No one knew how agonizing this period had been for him.

On one side was the emergency with Isabella. On the other side was Natalie.

At this moment, he had to admit that he hadn’t handled it well when public opinion was against Natalie.

He hadn’t protected her properly.

So, her desire for a divorce was normal.

It didn’t matter; after this period passed, everything would be fine.

After Isabella recovered, everything would be okay!

In the dressing and disinfection room of the operating room, Isaac had already changed into surgical

attire when his phone in the wardrobe suddenly buzzed.

Glancing at the clock, he eventually opened the cabinet door to answer his phone.

“Hello.”

He was initially relaxed when he answered, but he instantly stiffened when he heard what the person

on

the other end of the line said.

In the blink of an eye, his face turned grim.

“What did you say?…Okay, I’ll be right there!”

After hanging up, he turned around to find Dr. Landry.

Dr. Landry was his assistant today. Although he didn’t have significant achievements in medicine, he

was an ophthalmology expert

Seeing Isaac’s urgent expression, Dr. Landry asked, “What’s the matter?”

Isaac was taking off his surgical gown. In his hurry, he even ripped off the medical gloves.

“I need you to perform the surgery,” Isaac said as he packed his things.

Dr. Landry was shocked and turned pale when he heard that. “T–that wouldn’t be appropriate, right?”

“You understand her case better than I do, and you’ve performed numerous surgeries. Are you not

confident?” Isaac asked.

“But what about Mr. Johnson?” Dr. Landry asked hesitantly

“There’s no time to explain now. Remember, you must ensure the surgery proceeds smoothly!”

Isaac knew how anxious Cedric had been during this period. Isabella’s situation directly involved

Natalie

in so many ways, and Cedric had been handling every aspect with Natalie in mind.

So, Isabella regaining her eyesight was crucial to Cedric.

Cedric’s situation was too complicated, and Isaac was well aware of it.

So today, Cedric was extremely worried.

What if the surgery didn’t proceed normally? What if there were potential issues with the donor?

But on Isaac’s end…!

“But how do I explain this to Mr. Johnson?”

Dr. Landry was still uneasy. He was well aware of the status of the Johnson family in Verde City. Thus,

the pressure on him for this surgery was immense.

Originally, he had been confident, but he no longer felt sure under the tremendous pressure. Any

surgery

that allowed no room for failure would be stressful for anyone.

“I’ll explain to him later!” Isaac said while hastily putting on his coat.

)

Without waiting for Dr. Landry to say anything more, he turned and left. Dr. Landry stood rooted to the

spot in his surgical attire, his expression unfathomable.

Isaac was different. Even if the surgery failed, he could talk his way out of it.

But it wasn’t the same for Dr. Landry!

The surgery hadn’t even begun, and Dr. Landy’s forehead was already covered in cold sweat!

After Natalie was picked up by the car Stephen had sent, she was brought directly to Elegance Bay.

Even though she had concealed the marks and her disheveled state, Stephen could tell that something

had happened between her and Cedric not long ago. 1

Though Stephen was her uncle, he was still a man.

“It seems that his feelings for you are not as dead as you think,” Stephen remarked.

“He knows about our relationship now,” Natalie immediately said.

Stephen was confused. “What do you mean?”

“Things between us are not what you think.”

Stephen remained silent.

“Now that he knows, Rebecca will also know soon. You know what it means, right?” Natalie said

Indifferently.

What kind of person was Rebecca?

From the moment she entered the doors of the Johnson family, Rebecca had always looked down on

her, believing she wasn’t worthy of Cedric

The reason for not being worthy was that she was an orphan. It didn’t matter that Natalie hadn’t grown

up

in an orphanage

What was the difference between her, who stood alone, and someone raised in an orphanage?

Rebecca not only despised her embarrassing identity but also disapproved of her lack of background.

To Rebecca, her children’s marriages should bring greater benefits to the family. And Natalie stood in

the way of the benefits that the Johnson family could gain.

“Nat.”

“I’m fine,” Natalie looked at Stephen, who hesitated to speak, knowing that he wanted to comfort her.

However, she was also aware that her uncle never knew how to comfort her.

To Stephen, marriage was a sacred and divine union where two people were mutually devoted, it was a

lifelong dependence on each other that remained unchanged till the end of
