Chapter 798 I Know You Hate Me Lucas and Kyle were keeping a close watch over Cedric at the hospital, as he was badly injured. The doctor informed them that since Cedric had recently undergone eye surgery, several medications couldn't be prescribed while he was recovering.
As a result, Cedric had to bear the pain from his recent injuries.
For three days and three nights, Cedric endured sleepless nights of agony. Yet, since he arrived at the hospital, Natalie had not appeared once.
Every time Lucas entered, he found Cedric staring at the ward door, hoping it would be her. But his eyes filled with disappointment when he saw Lucas instead.
"Sir," Lucas began, unable to conceal his own heartache from his tone.
It was evident whom Cedric was waiting for.
Who else would it be apart from Natalie? But Natalie's eyes had been fierce and unwavering back then. It was as if she wished to erase him from her world completely.
In that case, why would she come to the hospital? Cedric turned around and looked out the window. At that moment, his profile exuded endless desolation.
"Madam Johnson is here," Lucas announced.
It had been a long time since Cedric
had seen her.
Rebecca now found herself as conflicted and worried as a child. She was afraid of Cedric's emotional reaction upon seeing her. Meanwhile, Cedric remained silent upon hearing Rebecca's arrival.
After a while, Lucas anxiously asked, "Shall I let her in?" Cedric remained silent, and his actions spoke volumes.
With that, Lucas quickly left the ward to usher Rebecca in.
The relationship between mother and son was more than just sensitive— things between them were almost unforgivable.

Rebecca instantly choked up when she saw Cedric. Her reddened eyes overflowed with more tears, especially when she saw his bandaged arm.
"How could she do this to you?" Rebecca's anguish was palpable.
Clearly, Rebecca already knew that this was Natalie's doing! It was too cruel.
How could things between them have escalated to this extent? \ Her world had turned upside down.
Rebecca finally realized that it was because of her that Cedric and Natalie's relationship had deteriorated to this point! ""Ced, talk to me," Rebecca pleaded in pain after seeing Cedric's silence.
She was genuinely afraid that she might lose her son under such circumstances.
Yet, Cedric remained silent, his silence a manifestation of indifference toward this familial bond.
"I know you hate me, Ced. I know I deserve it..." Rebecca had truly acted ina despicable manner.
Were those things important? Lineage, power, and status... Were they truly so crucial? If she hadn't treated Natalie that way all those years ago, would Natalie and Cedric have reached this point? "I know I was wrong. Don't be so cruel to me!" Rebecca cried incessantly, her entire being exuding an aura of
anguish.
Once, she was so lofty and elegant, even disdainful of everything.
However, now she finally understood...
People must pay the price for their actions.
She reflected on the unforgivable things she had done. She recalled how she had pushed Natalie to the extreme repeatedly and how Natalie had resorted to violence.
Why? It was all because of the sins Rebecca had committed in the past.
So, even though Natalie and Cedric had separated, Natalie didn't have any respect left for Rebecca.
Rebecca had brought this upon herself.
Her actions pushed Natalie to the brink, and there was no one else to blame but herself.
Once, Rebecca never thought she was wrong. Whatever she did seemed right.
It was all for Cedric's sake.
But now, she watched Cedric entangle himself with Natalie repeatedly. Even though Natalie had already married someone else, he still wouldn't let go.

Thus, she finally reflected on her past unbearable actions.
you should leave!" Cedric finally said, but his tone remained icy even at that moment.
That coldness pierced Rebecca's heart.
"Are things between you two really impossible?" In truth, Rebecca already had the answer in her heart, but she couldn't help asking.
Seeing Cedric injured already showed that Natalie had done something drastic to sever the ties of the past.
So what possibility was left between them? Rebecca had once hoped that Natalie
would truly leave Cedric and never appear in his life again. But when Natalie truly left and never looked back, Rebecca realized Cedric's world was shrouded in darkness.
And the only thing she could do to rescue her son from that darkness was to compromise on Natalie's affairs.
But now, it seemed that even if she compromised, nothing could be salvaged anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was why people said there was no cure for regrets in this world.
"Ced, I'm sorry... I'm truly sorry. I know I was wrong..." Rebecca saidina painful tone.
She loved Cedric the most in this world.
How could she bear to see him hurt?!
Everything she did before was for his sake.
However, she had overlooked a very important question: What did Cedric truly want? "you already knew back then, didn't you?" Cedric sorrowfully said as he looked out the window.
Upon hearing these words, Rebecca's heart trembled. She naturally knew what Cedric was talking about.
It was about how Christina and Isabella conspired together to frame Natalie.
If it were someone else, they might not have known, but Rebecca... was such a shrewd and observant woman.
How could she not know?
And Cedric was right... She had known! "I'm sorry." Rebecca choked up.
It was clear that Cedric knew everything now.
Why had she done it back then? It was because Rebecca wanted Natalie to leave Cedric, to the extent that she even condoned Christina's misdeeds.
Speaking of Christina, she was still with Rebecca. Kyle had already sent someone to persuade Rebecca to let Christina return to Verde City and face the consequences she deserved.
Rebecca initially visited Cedric on Christina's behalf, hoping he would let her off. However, upon witnessing Cedric's intense anguish, Rebecca
realized that the responsible party must face the consequences of their actions.
Rebecca also knew that Cedric would definitely not let go of this matter.
Once, he had fiercely defended Christina. Now, he probably wished to see her banished to the depths of despair! So, Rebecca swallowed down the pleading words on the tip of her tongue.
