chapter 294 The Ironic Compensation
The woman looked pretty good. She had curly hair and a seductive figure.
“Not bad! The beauties around you are getting more and more flavorful!”
$25 BONUS
“She’s much better than that… Ms. Morgan. Good job. Your taste seems to have improved a lot!
Cedric’s face darkened. Why did this woman always have to bring up Isabella, no matter what the occasion?
Thinking about it, Cedric felt a headache coming on.
“She’s a doctor!”
Natalie instantly stiffed. At this moment, she also realized why the woman’s name sounded so familiar.
The last time Jason recommended her to a highly skilled cosmetic surgeon, her name was Sophia Lowe.
However, they hadn’t met in
person.
“So, this is the legendary Mrs. Johnson. I’ve heard so much about you.”
Upon hearing the title Sophia had used, Natalie’s face immediately darkened.
“I’m the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons, not Mrs. Johnson.”
When their hands clasped, both of them exerted force involuntarily.
Sophia maintained her smile and said, “I see.”
That was the end of their small talk.
Sophia smiled and said, “I have limited time. Can we do the examination now?”
Examination?
Cedric wanted to remove all the scars on her b*dy, but Natalie wouldn’t be so cooperative!
No need.”
“Nat!”
Cedric, do you think that if all the scars on my b*dy disappear, all your sins will also vanish?”
That’s not what I thought!”
+25 BONUS
Cedric was only trying to compensate her as much as possible.
Natalie laughed sarcastically.
“Ms. Lowe, please leave.”
‘My schedule is very tight. If I leave now, seeing me in the next two years will be difficult. Are you sure?”
“Yes!” Natalie replied with determination and no hesitation.
Sophia was a proud doctor. Upon hearing Natalie’s words, she didn’t waste any time and left immediately.
And so, Natalie had successfully driven her away,
In the living room, the atmosphere was heavy.
Cedric clicked his tongue impatiently and lit a cigarette. Clearly, he couldn’t contain his emotions any longer.
“In this regard, Sophia is very accomplished. If she performs the surgery, she’ll be able to remove all the scars on your b*dy.”
Cedric was confident about this.
Natalie played with her hair and sarcastically said, “Yes, they will all be removed. But have you ever thought about the pain I’ll have to endure during that surgery?”
Compensation?
Natalie knew that this man wanted to eliminate the ridiculous guilt in his heart. But she didn’t know how many reconstructive surgeries it would take to completely remove the extensive burns on her b*dy.
And in the midst of all that, what kind of pain would she have to endure?
He didn’t know!
Cedric froze at her words.
“You studied at a medical university before, right? You even went abroad for further studies because of it. Don’t you know what kind of pain the patient has to endure in what seems to be a simple surgery?”
Although there will be anesthesia during the surgery, what about after the anesthesia?
What kind of pain must be endured then?
+25 BONUS
Natalie’s calm words hit Cedric’s heart painfully.
He pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
“I’m sorry, I…”
At this moment, he was speechless. He was unsure of what to say to Natalie.
Perhaps Natalie was right.
He wanted to eliminate the ridiculous guilt in his heart.
But was it really just that?
No!
She didn’t know anything at all. She didn’t know that he endured not only the torment of guilt but also the pain of losing her.
He wished he could repair every scar on her b*dy himself, wishing to restore her to her original state.
She had no idea how he came to this world.
“I’ve arranged a medical checkup for you,” Cedric finally said.
Because they couldn’t retrieve Natalie’s medical records from the hospital, Cedric could clearly sense that Natalie’s health was not good. Especially last night, after she fell into a deep sleep, the pillow was damp with sweat.
He didn’t believe she was fine with such a physical condition.
So, he had arranged for a doctor to come for a checkup.
“Don’t waste your time!”
“Don’t you feel that something is wrong with your b*dy?”
Natalie couldn’t be bothered with Cedric and went straight to the company. She had already called Wendy, and Leon was also there.
They came to Peach Garden to pick her
- up.
Leon and Wendy were both shocked when they arrived, but they didn’t dare to ask much.
Leon!”
Yes, Miss.
Do you think Bianca might be in Simeria?” Natale asked.
Considering Bianca’s condition last night and the speed at which Cedric received the
For the past two years, they had initially focused on Simeria, but they expanded the search abroad because they couldn’t find any clues in Simeria.
But now…!
“Simeria?” Beon frowned.
“Start with the hospitals!” Natalie thought for a moment and said.
However, she shouldn’t limit her search to only the hospitals.
Although Cedric didn’t explicitly say it last night, the information Natalie obtained from him
made it clear.
Natalie needed to investigate Simeria’s nobility.
Cedric said she couldn’t handle this matter, but what was the reason?
The only explanation was that the other party was in a powerful position.
She wanted to trace the root cause. She needed to find out who had a grudge against Bianca
and investigate which of Bianca’s cases from these years were related to Simeria and who was
involved.
Ultimately, they should have focused on Simerial
It seemed like they had finally found a breakthrough.
It wasn’t easy, but the investigation would become much easier now that they had a lead.
“Yes, ma’am!” Leon nodded.
After Natalie left, Cedric glanced at the doctor who had rushed over and frowned.
In the end, Cedric made his way to Lotus Villa.
Since Natalie had taken over the company in the past two years, Stephen seemed to have retired completely. He spent most of his time at Lotus Villa.
Whether he had truly retired or had more important plans was unknown.
Upon learning that Cedric had come to see him, Stephen stiffened as he was about to drink his
tea
Then he said, “Let him in!”
If Heather were here, she probably wouldn’t allow him in. But Stephen probably knew why Cedric had come.
+25 BONUS
Natalie’s physique seemed fine on ordinary days. But if one were to spend the night with her, the truth revealed itself.
Her b*dy was not in good condition.
Cedric entered and saw the serious look on Stephen’s face. With just one glance, he could see that Natalie bad inherited good genes from her mother’s side.
Especially the eyes.
Natalie and Stephen’s eyes looked so similar.
“Our apologies for visiting so late. This is a small token of goodwill,” Lucas said as he presented a gift box.
Inside was a fine white jade ornament, and its color indicated its high quality.
What surprised Stephen, however, was Cedric’s attitude.
This time, he was indeed different!
“No need for the gift. Speak up, what’s the matter?”
Stephen wasn’t displaying a great attitude towards Cedric. After all, he had expected Cedric to have changed.
However, this change was not enough to offset the damage Natalie had suffered.
