A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 3

“Ah…” 

Natalie’s eyes shot open, and she abruptly sat up from the bed, drenched in cold sweat.

It felt as if her body was still in pain from being burned by intense flames.

A strong arm stretched across her slender waist, and a familiar scent filled the air as a man patiently coaxed, “Shh. Go back to sleep.”

Natalie’s hand trembled, and she instinctively pulled away.

Turning around, Cedric’s handsome face entered her sight, and Natalie gasped.

Her mind went blank.

‘I… I can see! B-but how?!’

She closed her eyes briefly and then snapped them open again.

She could see a brightly lit room before her. Sunlight peeked through her eyelashes, warming her heart. The ceiling light, curtains, and bedsheet—everything felt so familiar.

Was it possible?

Pushing the man’s arm away and sitting up, she reached for her phone in disbelief. The screen displayed the date from a few months before her death by fire.

Had she been reborn?

Her movements had disturbed Cedric, who woke up with sleepy eyes and a hint of morning grumpiness.

“It’s so early in the morning. What are you doing?”

Natalie gripped her phone tightly, her gaze fixed firmly on the date displayed on the screen.

It was the day before that woman was kidnapped?!

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Natalie’s unusual behavior, Cedric furrowed his handsome brows. He could see from the morning sky that it was still early.

Ignoring the man in bed, Natalie hurriedly went to the bathroom.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror, still with a hint of baby fat on her face. She gently touched the contours of her eyes, which still felt sore. Then she felt her arms, which were still tingling from the burns.

She had actually been reborn!

She could still vividly remember the despair and excruciating pain of being engulfed in flames in her last moments.

Natalie sank down to the ground, hugged herself, and comforted, “Natalie, God is fair and just. You shouldn’t have died.”

After that, she walked back to the bedside. She took a deep breath and looked at the man.

“Cedric, let’s get a divorce,” Natalie stated calmly.

Cedric’s hazy eyes suddenly snapped wide open. He fixed his gaze on her, his expression darkening.

“What did you just say?”
