Chapter 424 The Illegitimate Daughter?

His sanity was constantly being challenged.

After his burst of anger, Cedric laughed.

It was maniacal, and it sounded… so tragically heavy.

Then, it seemed like something within Cedric’s world had died.

He suddenly calmed down, his voice chillingly composed, “Was Clyde just an excuse? You came for

Irwin,

didn’t you?”

He used to believe that in Natalie’s world, nothing mattered more than her child and the members of

the

Jarvis family.

However, Caleb, as the father of the child, held importance, and Irwin seemed to have an irreplaceable

position in her heart.

Now, in Natalie’s world, everyone seemed more important than Cedric.

Was there anything sadder than that?

Cedric had always thought the ten years of emotions between him and Natalie were insurmountable.

He believed that these emotions were his strongest leverage against Natalie.

But he was wrong.

She had changed.

“After everything, would Irwin accept being the stepfather to your illegitimate daughter?”

The aftermath of his madness was pure sarcasm.

With every word, Cedric hoped to awaken Natalie. Hearing him refer to Luna as an illegitimate

daughter, a

coldness spread in Natalie’s eyes.

Don’t be naive, Cedric mocked. “Given Irwin’s status, how could he accept that you have a daughter?”

You wouldn’t accept her either, would you?” Natalie swiftly countered.

The look in her eyes was calm… but it was also chillingly cold.

edric remained silent.

Under Natalie’s gaze, he continuously questioned himself internally.

Could he accept her daughter?

“You can’t accept it either, right?” Natalie repeated.

Cedric had wanted Caleb to take Luna away, which indicated… that he wasn’t as magnanimous as he

pretended to be.

Even though he kept pestering Natalie to accept Isabella’s child…

In reality, he could never accept Luna’s existence either.

“Irwin may not accept her, but he’s willing to let me raise the child in the Jarvis family. And you? You’re

such a hypocrite!”

Cedric was silent.

“You tell me to accept Isabella’s child, yet you secretly demand Caleb take away my child! You’re not

exactly noble yourself, Cedric!”

So, Cedric should stop mocking Irwin.

Neither of them were good people, so why attack each other like this?

Cedric remained silent, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Their gazes locked, confronting each other.

Cedric felt deeply disappointed in Natalie, feeling as though Irwin had taken an unshakeable place in

her

heart.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed–it was a call from the hospital.

Kayla’s continuous high fever had meant a several–day stay, and Cedric had planned to visit her with

some clothes.

But who would have thought…?

“Hello?” He answered, and whatever was said on the other end made his expression even colder than

before.

His entire body couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably.

said into the phone with quivering lips, “I’m coming right away!?

He hung up and rushed out without even glancing at Natalie. It was evident that something serious had

happened at the hospital.

And at the center of it all was undoubtedly Kayla.

Who else in this world could make Cedric lose control like this?

Other than Isabella, it was her daughter.

“Illegitimate daughter?! Hmph…”

Thinking of how Cedric referred to Luna, Natalie found it profoundly ironic.

Given his deep affection for Kayla, how could Luna be his daughter?

Perhaps Cedric might even make grand claims or expressions about blessings or favor for Luna just to

make a show of it, without genuine sincerity.

If he did that…

Hah!

It wasn’t clear what had transpired at the hospital, but Cedric didn’t return for three consecutive days.

Kyle visited once, and Natalie couldn’t find the other half of the documents in the study. She had no

idea where it might be.

Perhaps it wasn’t even in Peach Garden. After all, with Cedric owning so many properties, who knew

where he might have kept it?

During these three days, Natalie didn’t stay much at Peach Garden. Since the fallout with Cedric, she

had mostly been at Lotus Villa during the day.

“Luna, open your little mouth,” Natalie said, offering a spoon to Luna.

However, Luna immediately turned her head away.

Concerned, Natalie looked at Heather. “Her appetite hasn’t been great these days.”

Yeah, we’ll give her some medicine later,” Heather responded.

whenever she had free time, Heather would read parenting books. She had almost mastered

imations regarding a child’s health. Sometimes, she would share experiences

“Cedric has been at the hospital these days?”

Natalie had mentioned it upon her return on the first day.

If he had been at Peach Garden, Natalie might not have come back every day.

Natalie nodded. “Yes.”

“It seems the child’s health is genuinely deteriorating. She’s ten years old and still not showing signs of

improvement despite the treatments.”

Natalie remained silent.

Yes, it seemed that Kayla’s health was bad.

But it wasn’t like Natalie cared.

Heather knew Natalie was indifferent towards the child, but she felt the same way. Accepting Isabella’s

daughter wasn’t as simple as Cedric imagined.

Cedric was truly delusional!

Once this period passed and he fully came to terms with it, he would realize that it was ultimately…

impossible!

Natalie couldn’t even accept Cedric. So, how could she ever accept Isabella’s daughter?

I’ll head back now,” Natalie said, rising from her seat. “Remember to give the medicine to Luna in a bit.”

“Yeah, I know. Don’t worry,” Heather reassured her.

With Heather looking after the child, Natalie felt genuinely at ease.

As Natalie departed, her phone buzzed.

It was Irwin.

She hesitated, choosing to decline the ca
