Chapter 36 Strapped to the Operating Table

An hour later, Natalie lay on a hospital bed. She was drenched in cold sweat, and her head ached. Her face was scrunched up in pain as her right arm had been dislocated again.

“You need to rest properly. It’s easy to dislocate your arm again if you’re not careful,” the doctor advised

while carefully bandaging her.

Natalie was in too much pain to respond. Cedric stood nearby, his demeanor far from comforting. He

watched Natalie, but his gaze lacked warmth.

Once the doctor had finished, he left with the nurse, leaving Natalie and Cedric alone in the room. Natalie turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Cedric’s tone was domineering as he scolded her, “You are not allowed to drive anymore.

Natalie had been lucky she had only knocked into another car. If it had been a truck, she would have probably lost her life.

“Sir, it’s impossible to find a live donor. The rules in Verde City are very strict. Even donations from the deceased are not possible,” Yuvan explained, referring to the problem with Isabella’s eyes.

Natalle felt her breath catch. She stared at Cedric silently. Upon hearing Yuvan’s words, Cedric subconsciously glanced at her,
