Chapter 225 Pregnant
+15 BONUS
In the hospital room, the scent of disinfectant filled the air as Natalie regained consciousness.
Karina was by her side, holding a laptop with several files scattered on a small table, indicating how busy she had been.
“Why didn’t you get someone from Elegance Bay to stay with me instead?” Natalie asked with a hint of quilt as she observed how busy Karina was.
Upon hearing this, Karina looked towards her. As soon as she saw Natalie waking up, she immediately set aside her laptop and files.
“You’re awake! How do you feel?”
“My stomach still hurts a bit, Natalie replied..
“I’ll call the doctor right away,” Karina said, rushing out of the room.
HIS
Natalie wasn’t sure where she had hit herself that caused such intense pain. Soon after, Karina returned
with a doctor and two nurses
“Hello, Ms. Walker,” the doctor greeted, recognizing Natalie, as she had become a topic of discussion in
Verde City recently.
“What’s wrong with me?” Natalie couldn’t see her own pale face or bloodless l*ps. When she spoke, her
lower abdomen ached.
The doctor got straight to the point and said, “You’re pregnant.”
Natalie’s mind went blank with that revelation. She tried to say something, but words failed her at this
moment. She just stared blankly at the doctor, unable to react for quite some time.
While the doctor continued to speak, she couldn’t hear anything. On the other hand, Karina diligently
noted down the doctor’s instructions.
After the doctor left, Karina and Natalie were the only ones left in the room. It took a long time for Natalie
to regain her senses..
She looked at Karina and asked, “Pregnant?”
When she spoke, her voice trembled.

Karina nodded. “Yes.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve instructed them not to leak any information, I even had the doctor sign a confidentiality
agreement.”
Karina didn’t know Natalie’s intentions, especially with the current strained relationship between her and Cedric. As a member of Stephen’s team, she handled everything meticulously and systematically as she had been trained to.
Bay to
Natalie also understood why Karina was guarding her here and didn’t get someone from Elegance Bay to
come.
In this situation, the fewer people who knew, the better.
“Thank you.” Natalie’s mind continued to buzz, and the world remained blank.
Closing her eyes momentarily, she tried to conceal the pain in her eyes.
Cedric…!
“Karima!”
“Yes?‘
“Arrange for the hospital to schedule the surgery for me,” Natalie spoke without hesitation.
At this moment, she had no room for any hesitation.
In her previous life, she foolishly took so many kinds of medicine for that man. And what was the result?
Despite finally conceiving, she and the child ended up perishing in a sea of flames.
In this life…!
The animosity between them was irreconcilable, and the arrival of this child wouldn’t bring happiness but would only make things more tragic than her previous life.
She knew what kind of place the Johnson family was, and she had seen all their hypocritical faces!
Karina’s expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting Natalie to be so resolute In this matter.
“Are you sure you’ve thought it through?” Karina asked.
“There’s nothing to think about.”

Natalie closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt pain all over her b*dy. It was the kind of burning sensation one would experience when engulfed in flames..
Even someone who had suffered a scalding burn with hot water would understand that feeling!
She… had been burned to ashes in a raging fire.
Every inch of
Every inch of her wounds brought excruciating pain. It was a heartbreaking agony that accompanied her
final moments of consciousness.
She didn’t want any connection with Cedric,
The unexpected arrival of this child…
Although this decision was cruel, she couldn’t bear the thought of the child’s fate!
She couldn’t bear to see the child suffering before her eyes while she was helpless to do anything.
Given her current situation, whether it was Sylvan Gems or the project in the eastern suburbs, she won’t
be able to easily extricate herself.
Leaving Verde City, especially with the child, was also not possible.
In such circumstances…!
Without thinking, she knew the kind of challenges the arrival of this child would bring.
She wouldn’t be able to bear it!
“Should we inform Mr. Jarvis first?” Karina suggested, noticing Natalie’s distress.
She was worried that Natalie might regret her decision after overcoming the current difficulties.
Thinking of Stephen, Natalie smiled bitterly.
“Don’t tell my uncle for now, okay?”
Stephen was currently infuriated over Winona’s situation. Natalie didn’t want to bother him with her and
Cedric’s affairs.
Besides, she knew that so far, whether it was Sylvan Gems or the project in the eastern suburbs, nothing
had directly affected her.
This was largely due to her uncle’s significant role.
So far, the investigations had been meticulous. However, she was aware that Cedric’s actions would
“Karina.”
“Yes?
“Between Cedric and me, there’s absolutely no possibility. Do you understand?”
+15 BONUS
Karina knew! From the hysterics happening between them now, it was clear that a reconciliation was
practically impossible.
Natalie continued, “If a mother can’t provide a child with a complete family but instead lets them face all
kinds of strange gazes in this world… rather than letting the child grow up in an unhealthy environment,
it’s better… not to bring them into this world!”
As Natalie spoke these words, her tone was filled with pain.
The child…!
Once the child truly arrived in this world, there would always be a connection between them no matter
how far things went between her and Cedric,
And she didn’t want to…
Furthermore, she didn’t want to compromise anything for the child in the future.
Between her and Cedric, it felt like they had entered a state of despair. This kind of crisis wouldn’t change
because of a child.
Thus, the one who would endure the pain of their separation was the child!
The one who would suffer the most in an unhealthy family was also the child!
“Alright, I understand,” Karina nodded.
When she saw Natalie decisively opt for the surgery just now, she thought Natalie was ruthless. However, after understanding her concerns, she realized Natalie’s helplessness and the deep resentment toward
Cedric in her heart.
Such a resentment… It was already Impossible for the two of them to get back together, and harboring such resentment would indeed be harmful to the child!
Natalie wouldn’t be able to provide a healthy life to the child.
In that case, it would be better not to bring the child into the world.

If she did, it would only hurt the child.
“I’ll arrange everything”
Natalie nodded. When Karina left the room, the smell of disinfectant almost made her lose all awareness.
She placed her hand gently on
involved with Cedric ag her abdomen. After waking up to her second chance in life and getting
involved with Cedric again, this was the first time she felt heartache.
Her heart ached for this child.
“I’m truly sorry,” she murmured softly, gently caressing her abdomen.
