Chapter 435 Unyielding
Luna was just a child.
Having been surrounded by familiar faces from a young age, it was evident how frightened Luna was in this unfamiliar environment.
Cedric pinched the bridge of his throbbing forehead, feeling an overwhelming headache coming
1. on.
The doctor entered with a grave expression, “Mr. Johnson, you need to come with me.”
It was Kayla’s attending physician.
Cedric’s heart skipped a beat. He rose, casting a fleeting glance at the tiny figure on the bed before
turning away.
Passing by Kyle at the doorway, Cedric uttered, “Make sure she eats.”
“Understood “Kyle nodded, his eyes deepening with concern
Watching Cedric’s swift departure, Kyle stepped into the room, observing the incessantly crying
child on the bed and the untouched bowl of soup beside her.
“Luna,” Kyle said gently, taking a seat beside the bed. His eyes were filled with compassion as he murmured, “Shall we eat something first?”

But Luna continued to cry

“I miss Grandma! I miss Mommy,” Luna said with a mournful tone.
These were the most frequent words she had uttered over the past few days. The longing for her
mother and grandmother was evident.
“Let’s eat first, alright? Once you’ve eaten, I’ll take you to see your mom.
“I don’t want to! I don’t want to!” Luna protested
It was clear that this tactic wasn’t working.
Without seeing Natalie and Heather, Luna refused even to eat.
Outside, the entire Simeria was in turmoil, especially with the Jarvis family creating chaos.
Kyle could only imagine the impending chaos that would ensue if this continued on
Warry clouded his eyes.
Meanwhile, Cedric met with the professor
The professor glanced at the medical records and regretfully said, “We can’t postpone the surgery any longer.”

Cedric felt a weight in his chest, almost suffocating upon hearing those words
The severity of the illness had caught him off guard.
It was ruthless, and Cedric was not just worried about Kal
but also…
“Is there any other way?” Cedric asked with urgency, considering Luna’s non–cooperative state.
She refused to eat, and under such conditions, the surgery might pose risks to her well–being.
Regrettably, the professor shook his head
Cedric closed his eyes momentarily, gathering his thoughts. When he reopened them, his determination was evident.
As Cedric walked away from the professor, he glanced through the glass of the intensive care unit, seeing the fragile figure lying inside.
In just a short span, she had lost so much weight, her complexion paler than ever.
She…!
Images of Kayla’s cautious gaze whenever she looked at him flashed in Cedric’s mind, along with the despair that followed every time Natalie hurt her.
It seemed as though she hadn’t experienced happiness in her life. Now, afflicted with such a disease, it felt like she could depart at any moment
Cedric didn’t know how he made his way back to Luna’s hospital room.
Kyle stood gravely by the doorway.
Cedric asked, “How is she?”
“She still refuses to eat,” Kyle replied.
Cedric remained silent, processing the information.
She still refused to eat?!
It was clear Luna was being stubborn. With her diminishing strength, she wouldn’t have the
energy to protest for much longer.
Your Excellency, perhaps it’s best to send her back,” Kyle suggested after a moment’s
contemplation.
But Cedric shot him a chilling glare.
Send Luna back? That would undoubtedly mean Kayla’s demise.

Cedric understood better than anyone. If Natalie took Luna away, there would be no possibility of
surgery.
Kyle pressed, “But with the state she’s in, she won’t be able to do the surgery. It’s pitiful to keep. her here like this. She’s your daughter. Don’t you think you’re being cruel?”
Was Kyle referring to Luna’s pitiful state or the fact that she had him as a father?
Cedric’s already cold gaze darkened further, focusing intensely on Kyle.
Indeed, Kyle spoke the truth.
What would happen if Luna remained? She would continue to deteriorate without meeting the
conditions for surgery.
Cedric closed his eyes. The emotions swirling within were inscrutable. After what felt like an eternity, he reopened them, gazing upon Luna, who had cried herself to sleep once more.
The tear stains at the corners of her eyes made her appear even more pitiable, just as Kyle had
described.
Visions of Kayla’s pallor flashed in his mind
– Cedric
decided, “Have the doctors administer nutrients to her.”
Kyle was taken aback.
Would he not agree to send Luna away?
But… that was his biological daughter! Even at this point, he would still…?
Though Kayla’s life hung by a thread, Cedric’s decision shocked Kyle to his core.
Natalie was losing it
For three consecutive days, she hadn’t slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she envisioned Luna lying on the surgical table
