Chapter 86 Rebecca’s Transformation

In the afternoon, Natalie went to her office. Karina delivered some documents to her, and after

reviewing

and signing them, Karina handed Natalie another document.

Natalie asked with confusion, “What’s this?”

It didn’t look like studio–related paperwork!

Karina replied, “It’s from the hospital, the one you wanted.”

Natalie was shocked at how quickly it had arrived. “You did it so quickly?”

Karina said, “In this world, there’s nothing money can’t solve. It cost five million, but it was worth it.”

F–five million?!

Natalie winced in pain. After her divorce from Cedric, she was using her own money. In a short time,

she realized how hard it was to earn money.

But after looking through the documents and seeing the relevant reports inside, Natalie nodded and

said, Yes, it was worth it.”

A trace of determination flashed across her face.

The documents contained various reports about Isabella’s condition. There were records of transfers

between parties and videos of Isabella moving freely in the hospital.

Natalie was eager to see Cedric’s reaction when he watched the videos. After all, he had gone to great.

lengths to find a pair of eyes for Isabella, even suggesting his wife’s!

And now it was time for him to see the result of his efforts.

Karina asked Natalie, “What are you planning to do?”

Natalie replied, “I’ll wait. I don’t have time to deal with this right now.”

That was the truth.

She was currently swamped with work!

There were several projects that required her direct attention, so she didn’t have time to focus on this

However, what Natalie didn’t know was that someone else was quite anxious about this situation.

In the hospital, Rebecca held Isabella’s hand with a gentle expression, her eyes filled with pity.

“Poor child,” Rebecca said.

“Aunt,” Isabella greeted the older woman.

I

“Your brother gave his life to protect Cedric back then. I thought he was an orphan. I never imagined

you

were his sister.”

Her brother…

Isabella’s heart ached at the thought of her brother.

“It’s all in the past,” Isabelle said.

“Foolish child, why didn’t you tell me?”

Isabella answered softly, “Cedric told me not to. He was afraid it would upset you.”

The events of the past had also struck Rebecca deeply. At times, it was almost impossible for her to

move on.

She knew that during that time, Cedric had nearly…!

However, those events had remained a taboo within the Johnson family over the years, and no one

dared to casually mention them in front of her.

“Such foolish children, Rebecca said with a choked voice as she gently touched Isabella’s cold hand.

Why aren’t you wearing warmer clothes? It’s cold!”

Isabella responded quietly, “It’s not that bad.”

Rebecca continued, “Don’t worry; I’ll make sure you stand up again and regain your sight.”

At this moment, Rebecca’s commitment sounded even more resolute than Cedric’s.

Isabella felt a warmth in her heart. It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of warmth.

But alongside the warmth, her heart was filled with unease.

Christina was a woman with hidden agendas, and the reason Isabella hadn’t directly informed Rebecen

bout her situation before was precisely because of Christing

But at that time, it was already too late.

Her cooperation with Christina had been transparent, mainly because she wanted to see Natalie’s

downfall. At that time, she had hardly cared about Cedric.

However, things were different now.

Therefore, Rebecca’s commitment and her sudden display of affection made Isabella’s covered eyes

filled with apprehension.

“Aunt…” Isabella started but didn’t know how to continue.

Rebecca reassured her, “Don’t worry, it will happen soon.”

Isabella suppressed all the words she wanted to say at this moment.

She wanted to make things clear, but how could she do that?

No, she needed to make Natalie even more miserable.

For that, Rebecca’s help was crucial!

Natalie’s divorce from Cedric had been inconsequential in her life. It was as if nothing had changed for

her.

What Isabella wanted was not that!

What she desired was not Cedric but Natalie’s miserable outcome.

“Thank you,” Isabella said after her thoughts settled.

Rebecca gave her a comforting hug, determined to convey the warmth and love of a mother in this

moment.

In this world, Isabella had lost almost everything. She had no living relatives, and the only remaining

family she had, her brother, had died while trying to save Rebecca’s son.

Technically, I should take you in as my daughter. But Bella, you’ve caused so much trouble between

you and Cedric. Now might not be the right time, Rebecca said.

She had to consider the reputation of the Johnson family. If she were to accept Isabella as her

daughter

this morbent, it would marely stir up controversy in Verde City,

i didn’t tell you earlier becau

During this period, they hadn’t paid much attention to Rebecca, as Cedric had been preoccupied with

Natalie’s turmoil!

All of Rebecca’s thoughts had also been focused on Natalie.

Undoubtedly, such words comforted Rebecca and made her even more sympathetic for Isabella, who

was in her arms…!

After leaving Isabella’s hospital room, Rebecca met with Isabella’s attending physician. She discovered

that the doctor had already submitted his resignation, but he cautiously shared Isabella’s current

condition. He also emphasized the urgent need for a live donor.

Rebecca understood the message.

As soon as she left the hospital, Rebecca called Cedric.

“Come back to the manor immediately.”

“I’m busy!”

Rebecca’s tone turned serious as she said, “It’s about Isabella’s surgery.”

Cedric was stunned and asked, “You went to the hospital again?”

“Yes, hurry back!”

With that, she hung up the phone.

She stood there with an air of cold determination. The flash of determination in her eyes indicated that

she had made some form of decision.

An hour later, Cedric and Rebecca sat facing each other in the Johnson Manor’s pavilion.

The afternoon sun cast a warm glow, and the manor’s traditional afternoon tea was known for its

exquisite quality,

The two of them sat in silence for a while before Rebecca finally said, “Give Natalle her share of the

property without deducting a single cent

eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked at Rebecca.

It was his mother, after all.

They had accumulated a considerable amount of joint property during his marriage to Natalie. Getting

her to relerit was no small feat, so there had to be some conditions attached to this!
