The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)

"Thankfully, I didn't say anything weird." Joshua let out a sigh of relief.

Now that Natalie's identity was still a secret, it was important to keep it that way. "Let's go straight to the medical room!" he said.

However, Natalie stopped in her tracks.

After a while, Wesley appeared while pushing Laura in her wheelchair. "Elim, my wife has been unconscious and won't wake up no matter what I do. I'm really worried."

Wesley's eyes were bloodshot. During the journey here, he had secretly wiped his tears countless times. He was really worried that Laura would just pass away quietly in his arms.

If she died, he wouldn't want to live either.

"Don't worry. This time, the duration of her episodes was shorter, which exhausted all her energy. The Umbrahex was damaged and is now dormant. She isn't waking up because she needs sleep to recover.

She added, "Mr. Holden, don't worry. Now that we're here, the chances of curing Mrs. Holden are much higher."

Upon hearing this, Wesley felt more at ease.

"I'm sorry. My emotions got the best of me," he apologized with reddened eyes. "Elim, if I said anything wrong or did anything inappropriate, I hope you can forgive me."

"Mr. Holden, there's no need to be so cautious. I understand how you feel. Rest assured, since I've taken on this case, I'll do everything I can to cure her."

Natalie didn't have much time or the mood to worry about Wesley's feelings. She shot Marcus a glance and whispered to him. "Marcus, help calm your father down. Also, when I'm treating her, don't disturb me. That's the best way he can help me."

Back at Scarlet Hill Residence, Wesley kept knocking on the door. The noise he made was really distracting.

"Got it," Marcus replied and walked toward Wesley.noveldrama

"Dad, you need to calm down. Even if you can't help it, please don't create more trouble for Elim, alright?

"If you want Mom to recover sooner, just listen and cooperate. You're afraid, but isn't Elim afraid too? Stop holding her back."

As Marcus spoke, he stared at Noah. "Noah, take Dad somewhere to rest."

"Yes, Mr. Marcus." Noah stepped forward and respectfully escorted Wesley away. "Mr. Wesley, you should take a rest."

After that, Marcus took over Laura's wheelchair.

"Joshua, could I trouble you to arrange a place for my grandfather and father to rest?" he asked.

"No problem." Joshua waved his hand and someone immediately came over.

"Yes, Joshua?"

"Matias, please bring Mr. Holden Senior and Mr. Holden to rest," Joshua instructed.

He then pointed toward their direction and said, "Just focus on hosting our guests. Hand over your tasks to someone else for now."

"Understood, Joshua."

Matias led Charles and the others to the guesthouse to rest.

Charles had been cooperative throughout. He was getting old and was ill for a long time. Now that he had finally nursed his health back, he should've been enjoying a peaceful retirement.

However, he couldn't sit back alone at Holden Residence while Marcus accompanied Natalie to treat Laura. Regardless of the outcome, he insisted on being present.

If Natalie failed to cure Laura, Wesley might blame her. Marcus might also hold a grudge. These were things that Charles would never allow.

Even though he didn't say much, he saw everything more clearly than everyone else.

If Laura's condition could've been cured, with the Holden family's power and resources, they would've found someone to do so. There was no need to wait until now.

The guesthouse was located not far from the entrance. Deeper inside was the medicinal herb farm. There were open-air fields and various greenhouse cultivations.

Charles and the others didn't get much to look around before they were led to their rooms.

"Mr. Holden Senior, here's my card. Each room has a bell. If you need anything, just press it and I'll come right away."

After showing everyone to their

room, Matias Chapman brought them to the dining area. Once he was done explaining the rules at The Herbalist's Sanctuary, he left to let them rest.

Sheldon stayed by Charles' side. As for Connie, she didn't rest. Instead, she went looking for Natalie. Having grown up at The Herbalist's

Sanctuary, she was familiar with the place. -

It didn't take long for Connie to find the medical room. Natalie had already placed Laura on the bed inside. She instructed Marcus to continue searching for the required herbs.

As for Joshua, he was helping out to prepare the herbal bath.

"Dr. Elim," Connie entered the medical room. "Let me help you."

"Sure, Connie. Go fetch some water from the well and heat it."

"Got it."

Behind the building was an ancient well. In the past, Natalie had always used the water inside for her herbal baths.

Connie fetched the water, carrying bucket by bucket into the kitchen next to the medical room. Then, she poured the water into a large pot to heat it.

Marcus kept his eye on the phone, anxiously tracking the progress of the herbs. Finally, Hector called him.

"Hey, Marcus, I have the herbs you need at home. However, I don't have a large quantity of it. Are you okay with a smaller amount for now?"

"Yes!" Marcus couldn't contain his excitement. "Hector, thank you so much. I'll borrow what you have for now. When I find some, I'll return it to you."

"Don't need to thank me. You're my future brother-in-law. I'll always help you out Hector chuckled. "But we do have one condition-just treat Natalie well. As long as you do that, that's enough for us."

"Rest assured, Hector. I swear I'll never let Natalie down," Marcus promised

earnestly. "I love her and will cherish her for life."

"That's all I need to hear," Hector replied and looked at his watch. "This sounds urgent. I'll bring you the herbs right away! Besides, I miss Natalie too."

"Alright. Sorry for the trouble, Hector."

"No trouble at all. Hang tight. I'll come over as fast as I can."

After hanging up, Hector immediately instructed Gorge to prepare the helicopter.

Marcus immediately sent him the location. When Hector saw where it was, he was surprised that it was a place that he had previously taken an interest in.

He had tried visiting The Herbalist Sanctuary before, but it wasn't open to the public. The place also didn't accept visitors and people from the medical field.

To the public, especially those involved in the medical field, The Herbalist's Sanctuary had always been a place of mystery and fascination.
