So now that Stephen’s niece hade out, it was inevitable that those with ulterior motives would seek
alternatives.
Hence, Natalie needed to be cautious. Seeing how smart she was, Stephen felt somewhat reassured.
Then, he pushed several other tickets to Natalie. “There are two art exhibitions this month. Go and see
them with Irv.”
“That many?”
“Whether someone is suitable or not not only depends on shared interests and values but also on the
ability to amodate each other.”
Irwin liked concerts, while Natalie liked art exhibitions.
Understanding Stephen’s intention, Natalie felt deeply moved. Taking a deep breath, she forcefully
suppressed the pain in her chest.
“Uncle.”
“You feel like crying?”
“No, I’m not going to cry!”
“That’s good!”
Stephen couldn’t stand seeing women cry, as he had caused a few women to cry in his younger days.
Natalie was truly touched. The warmth and kindness that Stephen gave her was always present.
That night, Natalie slept well as usual.
Meanwhile, Cedric had been losing sleep for several nights. Natalie’s situation weighed heavily on his
heart like a stone.
Finally, at daybreak, Reba called.

Reba felt a dull pain in her heart.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the difort in her chest.
In the past, she might have retorted harshly to Cedric’s attitude because of Natalie. However, now that
they suddenly knew Natalie’s identity, they probably needed to carefully consider their position.
“Isabe is having her stitches removed today. I’m heading to the hospital now. Will you also be
coming?”
“Yeah.”
If Reba hadn’t called, Cedric would have forgotten that Isabe had undergone an operation and
that Isaac had yet to return.
After leaving the hospital that day, Cedric had been calling Isaac’s phone repeatedly, but there was no
answer on the other end.
After Yuvan looked into it, they found out that Isaac had left Verde City and gone abroad immediately
after leaving the hospital.
It was clear that something important hade up, or he wouldn’t have left without a word.
Reba and Christina arrived at the hospital together. They bumped into Cedric in the hospital lobby.
“Ced,” Christina called out.
She unconsciously approached him, wanting to cling to his arm as she usually did.
However, Cedric, who used to be easygoing, subconsciously avoided her.
“Ced?” Christina sensed Cedric’s distance and sounded a bit flustered.
But Cedric ignored her and walked straight to Reba. Reba understood what was going on.
Cedric was upset with Christina because of Natalie!
“Don’t me Tina for what happened before,” Reba whispered, wrapping her arm around Cedric’s.
Reba had not allowed anyone to get close to Natalie while she had been in the Johnson family, and
Reba had obviously influenced Christina.

In the past, she always had a great rtionship with Cedric. Because of that, she often embarrassed
Natalie, and Cedric hadn’t noticed at all.
In addition, Natalie had never been good at words and never said anything to Cedric. This caused
Reba and the others to be unrestrained in their actions.
Faced with the consequences now, they felt uneasy.
Reba saw that Cedric didn’t respond and didn’t push him. She continued, “I’ve arranged a property
and
a maid for Isabe. She can move in when she’s discharged.”
Without much thought, it was clear that Reba’s arrangement had a purpose. Even though Isabe’s
brother was Cedric’s benefactor, there were limits to gratitude.
Cedric appreciated the arrangement.
“Your arrangements are fine,” Cedric nodded.
This way, when Isabe was discharged, everything would be settled!
Reba breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Cedric didn’t object.
All if them could tell that Cedric still had feelings for Natalie! But when Natalie was still around, Cedric’s
attention was divided between her and Isabe.
So, if Cedric had any special arrangements for Isabe, it would be challenging for Reba.
In Isabe’s hospital room, the doctor and nurse were prepared.
When they saw Cedric, Dr. Landry respectfully approached and said, “Mr. Johnson, Ms. Morgan
insisted on waiting for you before removing the stitches.”
“She said she wanted you to be the person she first sees when she opens her eyes!”
Cedric didn’t react much to this statement. However, Christina, who was following behind him, couldn’t
hide her displeasure at that moment.
Isabe! How dare she?!

He turned around and started to remove Isabe’s stitches.
Reba nced at Cedric and breathed a sigh of relief. The bandages were removed slowly, and the
lights in the room were dimmed to avoid hurting Isabe’s eyes after the surgery.
As it was a surgery, it was impossible to say the process looked beautiful.
“Okay, open your eyes slowly,” Dr. Landry instructed.
Isabe’s heart was pounding. Since Cedric arrived, she hadn’t said a word. Obviously, she was
nervous. about the unveiling of her eyes.
“Ced.”
“Yeah.”
“Come in front of me,” Isabe said softly.
She knew.
She knew that Christina was there too.
Thinking about Christina’s actions during this time, Isabe wanted to teach Christina a lesson. Even
though Natalie was the one who ultimately caused her harm, Isabe still wanted Christina to know that
she was not someone Christina could manipte.
Cedric approached Isabe and softly said, “Open your eyes, hmm?”
“Okay.” Isabe nodded.
The smile on her l*ps was so beautiful.
Isabe’s innocence made people feel pity for her. Even Reba, who had certain intentions before,
couldn’t resist when she saw Isabe at this moment.
Slowly, Isabe lifted her eyelids, revealing her eyes.
“It’s a bit painful.”
Rx a bit,” Dr. Landry reminded from the side.
After all, spending too much time in the dark and losing sensation around the eyes for an extended
period would naturally require time to adjust.
But then..
“How is it?” Cedric looked at Isabe’s somewhat lifeless eyes, his tone carrying a hint of nervousness.
Isabe blinked, closed her eyes, and then opened them again!
Her expression changedpletely.
“Be?” Cedric’s tone tightened.
Reaching out, he waved his hand in front of Isabe’s eyes.
Reba’s heart was in her throat, and her voice trembled slightly, “Be, how is it?”
