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.

Natalie didn’t respond.

This man had yet to understand what had happened between them. How could he still feel entitled to dictate her life?

Seeing how she remained silent, Cedric’s anger flared. “Did you hear me?”

Natalie finally looked at him and retorted, “Why does it concern you?”

Cedric seethed. “You…!”

This woman was acting completely insolent! She was nearly driving him to madness!

He swallowed his anger. But just as he was about to say more, Yuvan called.

Answering the phone, Cedric said, “What is it?”

“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,
