A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 13 Ashes

On the second floor, Natalie instantly stopped in her tracks upon hearing those words!

She couldn’t stop the tremble that wrecked through her, and her eyes turned exceedingly cold.

This was the first time she had ever been like this. It was hard to imagine that such a small person could

exude such a menacing presence.

“We…”

Bang!

Cedric’s words were cut off abruptly as Natalie suddenly moved. She forcefully freed herself from his grip and slammed him against the wall.

The sound of the impact demonstrated the swiftness of her action.

Before Cedric could react, Natalie turned around, her eyes flashing with coldness.

“Natalie!”

It was as if she hadn’t heard the man’s voice at all. She quickly walked back the way she came from, her small frame descending the stairs with determination.

Natalie had always felt a sense of oppression when they stood together, as Rebecca was taller than her.

But now, despite her small face and petite b*dy, her eyes emanated an intimidating glint.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The hatred in her eyes burned like a raging fire, as if it could incinerate anyone.

Rebecca, who had been initially aggressive, was so startled by Natalie’s sudden display of dominance that she stammered, “Wh–what are you doing?”

Was Natalie going to physically confront her?

How dare she?!

Rebecca was about to erupt again when Natalie yanked the pendant from her neck and forcefully slammed it into Rebecca’s b*dy.

“You…!”

Rebecca was so angered that she could hardly speak coherently.

Cedric was about to step forward to restrain Natalie, but he heard her icy tone, “Do you know what this is?”

“What… what is it?”

For the past two years, Natalie had always worn this pendant around her neck. It looked very ordinary, and Rebecca had scolded her several times for wearing such a commonplace item outside, thinking it

But now…

Natalie spoke, “Don’t you know? Inside this pendant are the ashes of your grandson.”

Rebecca was silent.

Even Cedric had nothing to say.

Everyone present was left breathless!

“I can’t give him children? When you added those things to my food, wanting to cause me to miscarry, did you ever think that you were the ones cutting off your own descendants?”

Cedric felt like thunder had struck him. Natalie’s words echoed loudly in his ears, and he turned his gaze abruptly at his mother.

Rebecca’s eyes briefly flashed with guilt as she stammered, “I–I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You don’t know? Let me refresh your memory, hmm? Do you remember Dr. Charles Robinson from Newfield Hospital? Should I call up his wife and have her tell everyone when you went to the hospital and got that medication from Dr. Robinson?”

“Y–you…”

Rebecca stared at Natalie in astonishment. Her words were cutting and forceful, leaving no room for a response.

Observing Rebecca’s reaction, Natalie, felt her hatred intensify.

Cedric also couldn’t believe what he was witnessing from his own mother.

The air was tense as all parties were trapped in an intense standoff.

After what seemed like a long time, Cedric turned to Natalie and said, “Nat.”

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

Over the years, he had weathered countless storms while managing the Johnson family!

But at this moment, the once–dependable figure that Natalie w

When only Cedric and Rebecca remained in the hall, the atmosphere became even colder, making it hard

to breathe.

Rebecca looked at her son and finally came to her senses. “Ced, I… !…”

“Was what she said true?”

Rebecca immediately denied it. “Don’t believe her, I didn’t do it!”

“Do you want me to bring Dr. Robinson’s wife and confront her about i?”

“You…”

Rebecca was left speechless. She had always believed her plans were flawless. She never expected that Natalie, who seemed to be under her control, would know everything.

She panicked.

Cedric looked at his mother with disappointment and heartache in his eyes. After he and Natalie got married, they had always hoped for their child.

When Natalie became pregnant that one time, he had been overjoyed.

After all those years of love, they would finally have a child together. No one expected that the child wouldn’t survive, and that Natalie would be diagnosed with difficulty conceiving again.

From that day on, Natalie had taken traditional medicine daily. He had witnessed her furrow her brows in response to those dark, mysterious herbs each time and could only imagine how unpleasant they tasted.

And what had the Johnson family been doing during that time?

They had used it as an excuse to push him and Natalie toward divorce!

“You may choose not to accept her, but how could you have done that to her?!” Cedric yelled, and Rebecca sobbed uncontrollably.
