A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 240 Despair

Cedric didn’t wake up until the next day’s evening.

Outside the window, the cold rain carried the scent of earth. Even the wind seemed damp.

The moment he opened his eyes, the stark white light stung his eyes. Memories in his mind kept pulling at

his body, causing a numbing pain all over.

Rebecca was sitting on a chair by the bedside, already asleep. The moment she heard movement and

opened her eyes, she saw Cedric running barefoot towards the exit.

Alarmed, she called out, “Ced, where are you going?”

She hurriedly followed after him.

The moment they stepped out of the ward, they saw Cedric entering the elevator at the far end of the

corridor.

At that moment of eye contact. Rebecca clearly saw the hollow despair in Cedric’s eyes. It mixed with the

pallor of his face, making it extremely bleak.

Rebecca’s heart raced in panic.

“Ced, wait! Wait for me…”

She hurried over, but Cedric seemed not to hear.

As the elevator doors closed, Rebecca tried to stop it with her hands.

“Ced! Ced!”

But it was too late.

Watching the elevator descend, Rebecca shakily dialed a number.

Soon, Lucas’s voice came from the other end.

“Madam?”

“He’s gone to find Natalie; hurry and stop him,” Rebecca said in a trembling tone.

Her eyes were filled with anxiety.

Two days..!

In just a short two days, Verde City had completely changed.

The Johnson family had changed, and Natalle…

Natalie was gone.

Ding!

The elevator door opened, and Cedric, in hospital attire and barefoot, walked out of the elevator just as

Lucas arrived.

There was a devastated look on Cedric’s face.

“Sir,” Lucas said as he approached Cedric and tried to stop him.

Rebecca’s worries were justified.
