A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 33 Domestic Violence Examination

Natalie went upstairs.

Bianca had been waiting for her. When she saw Natalie with disheveled clothes, marks on her neck, and finger imprints on her face, she was instantly furious.

“He hit you?!” She asked.

Even her breathing had become heavy with how angry she was.

Natalie nodded. Her complexion didn’t look too good.

When she recalled Cedric’s gaze, which looked like he was about to devour her, she…!

When she closed her eyes, all she could recall was the stinging sensation on her face from his slap.

Her face still burned from the impact, and the sensation of being strangled around her neck lingered.

Bianca placed a coat over her shoulders, and then she pulled on her own jacket.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Bianca suggested.

“It’s fine,” Natalie said hesitantly. These injuries were relatively minor, and she didn’t think they required a hospital visit. But Bianca’s response caught her off guard.

“This is domestic violence! It’ll be helpful in the legal battle, Bianca explained.

Natalie’s expression tightened at the thought.

With that, she followed Bianca downstairs and into her car.

Domestic violence…!

She had never considered that Cedric would resort to violence. Now, she considered his actions from an outsider’s perspective.

She once boasted that she was happy, saying that no one in the world treated her better than Cedric.

But now, how did Cedric look like to the people around her?

Natalie’s heart ached. She had never experienced this level of pain before, even after being rebom.

And now.

could barely believe the situation she was in right now.

Blanca drove the car and looked at Natalie’s somewhat pale face.

She asked, “What’s wrong? Do you still refuse to believe it?”

Natalie glanced at Bianca and replied, “It’s not that… I’m just in disbelief!”

Even though Cedric had already slapped her, choked her, and she felt the sensation of suffocation, she

still found it hard to accept.

In her eyes, Cedric’s infidelity was already a catastrophe, and now it had escalated to domestic violence.

“He and you aren’t from the same world. There’s much he’s capable of that you don’t know,” Bianca said

calmly, as if she had experienced similar situations before.

Natalie tensed once again.

“I–I know,” she whispered.

She was all too aware of how far Cedric could go, and he was only beginning to reveal his true self.

“Nat,” Bianca said, her voice filled with concern

Before Bianca could continue, Natalie smiled bitterly and said, “Do you know why he came to see me tonight?”

“Why?”

“He wanted to take me to the hospital to apologize to Isabella. He said that she lost the use of her legs and eyes, so an apology from me isn’t an excessive demand.”

“Is he a complete idiot?” Bianca was furious once again.

Just an apology?

Wasn’t he also human? Forget about women. Even men wouldn’t think an apology would resolve this entire situation, right?

Yet, Cedric seemed to believe that?!

What exactly were they supposed to say about him?

Hatalle didn’t care about Cedric’s current state. She simply laid bare all her recent hardships in front of Bianca

He even got Stefan to find evidence that I bribed and kidnapped those people who targeted teabella

“What? You didn’t do it, yet somehow there’s evidence from out of nowhere?”

“Exactly!”

In fact, Natalie was sure that the evidence had been prepared for a long time.

After going through the transactions in her bank account recently, she realized that it had started a year

ago. She had been unaware that she had slowly fallen into her enemy’s trap starting then!

However, the rumors about Isabella and Cedric had only started six months ago!

It was clear that her enemy wanted to drive her completely insane. Everything was planned with

precision, even considering her love for Cedric.

“In that case, you should divorce Cedric as soon as possible. Being part of that family brings nothing good!” Bianca commented.

How did they even get to this conversation?

Wasn’t it tiring to scheme and manipulate others in secret like this?

“You have your own talents. Leaving Cedric will only make you better. A woman doesn’t have to rely on her husband. The woman herself is the greatest asset,” Bianca continued.

Natalie nodded in agreement, particularly when she looked at Bianca’s life over the years. Although she lived alone and was independent, she was a role model in many ways. She didn’t have to deal with a toxic mother–in–law, and no one was constantly scrutinizing her to see when she would have children.

Bianca’s only worries revolved around helping her clients win legal battles and protecting their interests. On her vacations, she flew abroad to go skiing, basked in the sun by the beach, or explored canyons.

She lived a life that many women wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

Natalie never found out which hospital Isabella and Rebecca were in. Bianca took her to the nearest hospital to her home.

It was late at night, and the doctors were initially reluctant to examine her. However, when they heard that It was for a domestic violence examination, they quickly checked Natalie for injuries and marked them as more severe on the medical report. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

When receiving the report, the doctor looked at Natalie and said, “Who says someone can’t survive in this world if you divorce? Pahl I wish you all the best,”

“Thank you,” Natalie replied, taking the report and walking away. However, the doctor stopped her with a

question.

“You seem familiar. Have we met somewhere before?”

“I don’t think so. I rarely get sick. Maybe I look similar to someone you’ve seen,‘ Natalie replied and

quickly walked away.

But she knew the doctor hadn’t made a mistake.

During this time, she was either trending with her uncle or being compared to Isabella in online

discussions. It was no wonder that many people found her face familiar.

Bianca was waiting outside. She stood up when she saw Natalie coming out and asked, “How did it go?”

“It’s all taken care of. Let’s go.

“Give me the report,” Bianca extended her hand. She was now Natalie’s divorce attorney, and she needed these pieces of evidence immediately.

Natalie handed it to her, and Blanca was about to put it in her bag. Before she could do so, they heard Cedric’s voice, “Why are you here?”

Natalie and Bianca both turned to see Cedric standing in the corridor with a cold look on his face.

He had tried to bring Natalie to the hospital to apologize to Isabella, but she had refused to cooperate.

So, what was Natalie doing here in the middle of the night?

Cedric approached them with long strides. His steps were heavy, and they sounded foreboding in the cold corridors.

Blanca quickly sl*pped the medical report into her bag and took Natalie’s hand.

“Let’s go!”

She was now more eager than Natálie to avoid seeing Cedric. They had originally believed that having Cedric protect Natalie was the only good thing about her being part of the Johnson family.

But who could have thought things would end up this way?

Natalie walked with Bianca, not wanting to engage with Cedric here. However, a hand forcefully grabbed

her wrist.

hy are you running? Cedric’s voice was chilly.

“Could you please let go?”

“Why? Are you afraid I’d bite?”

“I said, let gol” Natalie said more forcefully. She tried to shake off his hand, but he showed no intention of

releasing her.

Natalie stared at the hand that held her wrist, knowing he wouldn’t let her go. However, she was afraid for

Bianca at this moment, fearing that Cedric would turn on her.

So, she turned to Bianca and said, “Bia, wait in the car for me, okay?”

“But Nat…”

“Go!” Natalie’s tone was firm, making Bianca understand her concerns.

Reluctantly, she released Natalie’s hand. Before she left, she shot a fierce glare at Cedric.

Now, only Natalie and Cedric were left.

She had no more inhibitions and looked at him with an even colder gaze.

“What did you give to Bianca just now?” Cedric inquired before she had a chance to speak.
