Chapter 136 The Taste of Disaster
Isabella struggled to see what was in front of her.
However, despite Cedric waving his hand in front of her eyes, she couldn’t even see a hint of a shadow.
Only boundless darkness enveloped the entire hospital room.
The atmosphere in the room became tense!
“Doctor!” Cedric roared in anger.
His furious outburst made the already tense atmosphere in the room feel as if it were covered in ice.
Dr. Landry had broken out in a cold sweat. He trembled as he approached, “Ms. Morgan, can you see
anything?”
His voice quivered slightly. In fact, everyone present already understood Isabella’s current situation.
Isabella’s heart was in her throat.
Waving her hand in front of her eyes, Isabella could only see darkness–nothing but darkness!
At that moment, her world collapsed completely.
“I… How could I….
She couldn’t see anything.
Nothing!
Wasn’t today the day she welcomed the light?
How could this happen?
How could she see nothing at all?!
“Ced! Ced!” Isabella reached out, frantically grabbing in all directions.
However, everywhere her hands reached was empty–nothing at all.
it was as if she were trying to grasp a single straw, but there wasn’t even a straw for her to grab.
Cedric grabbed her hand, his magnetic voice carrying a chill that strangely comforted Isabella.
“I can’t see! I can’t see! I can’t see anything…!” Isabella said in a rush, her voice full of pain.
She was panicked, completely panicked.
Why couldn’t she see anything?!
“Dr. Landry?” Cedric’s gaze pierced through, chilling everyone who looked at him.
Dr. Landry collapsed to the ground, shivering. “That’s…”
“What happened?!”
Didn’t he say the surgery was successful?!
Dr. Landry stammered, “T–this…”
Dr. Landry didn’t know what to say either.
The surgery was clearly a success, but now…!
Veins bulged on Cedric’s forehead.
“Ahhh…!” Isabella let out a desperate scream.
She was blind. She was truly and utterly blind.
How could this happen? Wasn’t the surgery supposed to be a guaranteed success?!
“Didn’t Dr. Phelps perform the surgery?”
Why was it Dr. Landry? Isabella couldn’t accept this fact at the moment!
However, this reality was thrust upon her, and she couldn’t escape it.
The atmosphere in the hospital room became ice–cold. All eyes were on Isabella, so no one noticed the

Christina was standing at the back, and she had a smug look in her eyes, which went unnoticed.
Isabella had lost in this aspect.

“Mr. Johnson, the surgery failed!”
At this point, Dr. Landry had to admit it. Cedric’s eyes filled with a murderous glint.
Failed!
That word echoed in Isabella’s mind.
“What do you mean by that?! D–does it mean I’ll never see again?” Her voice trembled.
It was sad, and it pierced the hearts of those who heard it.
Cedric stood there, stiff as a board. Meanwhile, Rebecca realized the situation.
“You poor child,” she said, stepping forward and embracing Isabella.
“Aunt, will I never see again?”
What kind of concept was that? Forever–what kind of despairing outcome was that?
Rebecca looked at Cedric, and Cedric looked at Dr. Landry. The pressure Dr. Landry felt at that moment was unimaginable.
In the end, he nodded!
At that moment, the already tense atmosphere in the room turned even colder as the reality of Isabella’s blindness settled in.
“Bella.”
At the moment Rebecca saw Dr. Landry nod, she wanted to say something to Isabella. However, her l*ps moved, and nothing came out.
What meaning was there in a lifetime of seeing nothing?

She didn’t hear the doctor’s response. As intelligent as she was, how could she not understand this pulcome?
didn’t want to accept it.
reality of it was right before her, and she had no choice but to accept them.
It hurt a lot!
There was a dense pain in her heart. Despair swept over Isabella.
This result caught everyone off guard. It had started with only being concerned about finding a donor for her, and now Isabella was completely blind.
“I can’t see. I’ll never see again!” She wanted to cry, but she couldn’t feel the touch of tears.
The despair emanating from her was heart–wrenching.
To be unable to see for a lifetime, living in a colorless world, unable to even care for herself, relying
entirely on her senses?
The thought of those days brought sheer despair.
“Shh, child. Everything will be fine. It will be okay!” Rebecca reassured Isabella.
But deep down, she was quickly preparing for what would come next.
While Isabella was shrouded in despair at the hospital, Natalie was busy. Another morning of meetings had occupied her, and she didn’t even have time to see Stephen off.
Stephen had told her not to bother with these empty gestures of sending him off. They didn’t need such things.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
Natalie checked the number to find it was Irwin calling. Thinking about their evening plans, she felt a bit uneasy.
No matter how personal Irwin’s questions had been before this, Natalie still treated him just as a business partner. But Natalie felt uneasy when her uncle suddenly broke through that barrier last night, hoping for at closer relationship
On this end, she answered the phone with an unnatural tone, “Mr. Frazier.”
She tried to make herself sound natural. However, from the tone of her voice, her emotions were evident.
Jarvis said you’ll accompany me to the concert tonight?”
Yeah.”
Natalie felt a bit uneasy.
This uncle of hers…!
To make her go out with Irwin, he didn’t even leave room for her to refuse.
“Shall I pick you up after work?”
“Sure!”
Natalie began to be more concise in her words. Because now, she really didn’t know what to say.
After all, there are times when certain relationships are better left unspoken. People could be business
partners and friends without having to complicate things.
But now, from business partners straight to a potential romantic relationship…!
It was hard to feel natural about it.
“It’s almost lunchtime. Want to have lunch together?”
Natalie considered, glancing at the time on her computer. It was indeed almost time to take a break.
She wanted to refuse, but the man on the phone said, “Caleb will join us. I’ll pick you up.”
“Okay”
Hearing that Caleb would also be there, Natalie felt a bit more at ease. Having someone else present would make her less uneasy.
Honestly, Stephen had done this so suddenly that she didn’t have time to prepare herself mentally!
