Chapter 798 I Know You Hate Me Lucas and Kyle were keeping a close watch over Cedric at the hospital, as he was badly injured. The doctor informed them that since Cedric had recently undergone eye surgery, several medications couldn''t be prescribed while he was recovering.


    As a result, Cedric had to bear the pain from his recent injuries.


    For three days and three nights, Cedric endured sleepless nights of agony. Yet, since he arrived at the hospital, Natalie had not appeared once.


    Every time Lucas entered, he found Cedric staring at the ward door, hoping it would be her. But his eyes filled with disappointment when he saw Lucas instead.


    "Sir," Lucas began, unable to conceal his own heartache from his tone.


    It was evident whom Cedric was waiting for.


    Who else would it be apart from Natalie? But Natalie''s eyes had been fierce and unwavering back then. It was as if she wished to erase him from her worldpletely.


    In that case, why would shee to the hospital? Cedric turned around and looked out the window. At that moment, his profile exuded endless destion.


    "Madam Johnson is here," Lucas announced.


    It had been a long time since Cedric


    had seen her.


    Reba now found herself as conflicted and worried as a child. She was afraid of Cedric''s emotional reaction upon seeing her. Meanwhile, Cedric remained silent upon hearing Reba''s arrival.


    After a while, Lucas anxiously asked, "Shall I let her in?" Cedric remained silent, and his actions spoke volumes.


    With that, Lucas quickly left the ward to usher Reba in.


    The rtionship between mother and son was more than just sensitive— things between them were almost unforgivable.


    "Ced."


    Reba instantly choked up when she saw Cedric. Her reddened eyes overflowed with more tears, especially when she saw his bandaged arm.


    "How could she do this to you?" Reba''s anguish was palpable.


    Clearly, Reba already knew that this was Natalie''s doing! It was too cruel.


    How could things between them have escted to this extent? \ Her world had turned upside down.


    Reba finally realized that it was because of her that Cedric and Natalie''s rtionship had deteriorated to this point! ""Ced, talk to me," Reba pleaded in pain after seeing Cedric''s silence.


    She was genuinely afraid that she  might lose her son under such circumstances.


    Yet, Cedric remained silent, his silence  a manifestation of indifference toward this familial bond.


    "I know you hate me, Ced. I know I deserve it..."  Reba had truly acted ina despicable manner.


    Were those things important? Lineage, power, and status... Were they truly so crucial?  If she hadn''t treated Natalie that way all those years ago, would Natalie and Cedric have reached this point?  "I know I was wrong. Don''t be so cruel to me!" Reba cried incessantly, her entire being exuding an aura of


    anguish.


    Once, she was so lofty and elegant,  even disdainful of everything.


    However, now she finally understood...


    People must pay the price for their actions.


    She reflected on the unforgivable things she had done. She recalled how she had pushed Natalie to the extreme repeatedly and how Natalie had resorted to violence.


    Why?  It was all because of the sins Reba hadmitted in the past.


    So, even though Natalie and Cedric had separated, Natalie didn''t have any respect left for Reba.

    Reba had brought this upon herself.


    Her actions pushed Natalie to the  brink, and there was no one else to me but herself.


    Once, Reba never thought she was wrong. Whatever she did seemed right.


    It was all for Cedric''s sake.


    But now, she watched Cedric entangle himself with Natalie repeatedly. Even though Natalie had already married someone else, he still wouldn''t let go.


    Upon witnessing such scenes, Reba finally understood that some feelings could not be let go of in this world! And she... had faced those emotions as if she was an executioner, trying to sever those bonds forcefully!  She truly loved her only son!


    Thus, she finally reflected on her past unbearable actions.


    you should leave!" Cedric finally said, but his tone remained icy even at that moment.


    That coldness pierced Reba''s heart.


    "Are things between you two really impossible?"  In truth, Reba already had the answer in her heart, but she couldn''t help asking.


    Seeing Cedric injured already showed that Natalie had done something drastic to sever the ties of the past.


    So what possibility was left between them?  Reba had once hoped that Natalie


    would truly leave Cedric and never  appear in his life again. But when  Natalie truly left and never looked  back, Reba realized Cedric''s world was shrouded in darkness.


    And the only thing she could do to  rescue her son from that darkness was  topromise on Natalie''s affairs.


    But now, it seemed that even if shepromised, nothing could be salvaged anymore.


    That was why people said there was no cure for regrets in this world.


    "Ced, I''m sorry... I''m truly sorry. I know I was wrong..." Reba saidina painful tone.


    She loved Cedric the most in this world.


    How could she bear to see him hurt?!


    Everything she did before was for his sake.


    However, she had overlooked a very important question: What did Cedric truly want?  "you already knew back then, didn''t you?" Cedric sorrowfully said as he looked out the window.


    Upon hearing these words, Reba''s heart trembled. She naturally knew what Cedric was talking about.


    It was about how Christina and Isabe conspired together to frame Natalie.


    If it were someone else, they might not have known, but Reba... was such a shrewd and observant woman.


    How could she not know?


    And Cedric was right... She had known! "I''m sorry." Reba choked up.


    It was clear that Cedric knew  everything now.


    Why had she done it back then?  It was because Reba wanted Natalie to leave Cedric, to the extent that she even condoned Christina''s misdeeds.


    Speaking of Christina, she was still with Reba. Kyle had already sent someone to persuade Reba to let Christina return to Verde City and face the consequences she deserved.


    Reba initially visited Cedric on Christina''s behalf, hoping he would let her off. However, upon witnessing Cedric''s intense anguish, Reba


    realized that the responsible party must face the consequences of their actions.


    Reba also knew that Cedric would definitely not let go of this matter.


    Once, he had fiercely defended Christina. Now, he probably wished to see her banished to the depths of despair!  So, Reba swallowed down the pleading words on the tip of her tongue.
