The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)

Natalie took out another phone and sent a message to Marcus, "Marcus, investigate Lucy Maine."

Marcus replied, "Got it."

"Laura, let's put that aside for now," Natalie said. "Please continue talking about the people who came to assist you back then."

What mattered most wasn't Charles' situation, but rather the people who had come into contact with Laura back then.

"Lucy is Jessy's aunt. She was the first to arrive at Holden Residence. Do you remember the assistants she brought with her?"

Laura frowned, trying to recall.

Lucy had her own medical team, consisting of around a dozen people. However, Laura wasn't able to remember the specifics.

Among them, a woman named Julie Langdon helped out the most. However, she was rather peculiar and rarely smiled. On several occasions, when taking Laura's blood pressure alone, Julie would give Laura strange looks.

Laura felt something was off and wanted to ask Lucy about it, but Julie would immediately schooled her expression, leaving no bone to pick.

As Natalie listened to Laura's recollections, she picked up her other phone and sent Marcus another message.

"Investigate Lucy Maine's assistant, Julie Langdon."noveldrama

Marcus replied, "Got it."

"Laura, please go on," she said.

Laura nodded. Soaking in the herbal bath, she stared at Natalie gently as she continued recalling the past.

Lucy would conduct daily check-ups with great care and gentleness. Throughout her pregnancy, Laura would often visit Lucy. The check-ups had always been smooth and successful.

After bringing the medical team to move into Holden Residence, the postpartum care team arrived. Lucy had recommended the postpartum care team and they were well-known in Dithoria as well.

The team was led by a woman called Queenie York. She was meticulous, gentle, and well-versed in psychology. She would chat with Laura frequently, making her feel at ease.

There were many people in the postpartum care team, so it was impossible for Laura to remember each of them. However, she could remember those she interacted with frequently.

One of them was a nutritionist named Megan Langley. Megan's cooking was delicious and nutritious. Most importantly, the food wasn't fattening. She would even come up with new dishes to satisfy Laura's cravings, making Laura quite fond of her.

Natalie's brow furrowed. Megan Langley? A Langley?

Laura and Wesley had a loving relationship. With the professionals caring for her meticulously, her entire pregnancy was joyful and relaxed.

The fetus developed well throughout the pregnancy, and the delivery was smooth. However, everything changed the morning after she gave birth.

That morning, when Laura woke up, she was about to ask Queenie to bring the baby over. However, the moment Queenie saw Laura, she let out a scream.

Laura was baffled. She was just about to tell Queenie that would've frightened the baby, when Queenie handed her a mirror.

Then, Laura saw her once dark and silky hair had turned snow-white. Following that was Laura's own scream.

Her scream drew Wesley, who was resting in the next room. When he saw Laura's transformation, he immediately ordered Queenie to close the door.

After closing the door, Wesley quickly summoned Lucy. She was stunned to see Laura's hair turn completely white. She quickly examined Laura but couldn't find anything wrong.

However, Lucy ordered the baby to be taken away, claiming that Laura's condition was unclear. So, she shouldn't come into contact with the baby.

Thus, after giving birth, Laura only saw her child once at the very beginning, never a second time.

Once the baby was taken away, Laura's body rapidly developed other symptoms. Her hair turned white and her skin became so pale it was nearly translucent.

With her skin becoming almost see-through, her body started aching. Unable to endure it, she rolled around the bed, letting out agonizing screams.

The scene was so horrifying that apart from Lucy and Wesley, no one else stayed in the room.

Lucy claimed that her condition was too bizarre to let anyone else find out. So, she advised Wesley to clear the room.

Wesley was at a loss. He quickly

sought Charles' advice. When

Charles Saw Laura's state, he quickly

ordered Sheldon to have all of the

medical teams vacate Holden

Residence.

After that, Charles brought in numerous doctors to examine Laura. But every time, her condition worsened.

Soon, white fur began sprouting from her body, and her teeth grew sharp. It looked as if she was transforming into a beast.

The doctors who came to examine her were all terrified and tried to flee, but Charles ordered them to be detained.

None of the doctors could tell what was wrong with Laura, let alone cure her.

After a discussion between Charles and Wesley, they decided to silence the doctors and forbade any contact between Laura and Marcus.

Ox9 Marcus and any form

of physical contact were prohibited.

Once Laura's condition stabilized slightly, Wesley secretly took her away from

Holden Residence, beginning their long journey seeking medical help.

As for Marcus, he naturally couldn't follow along. Charles ended up raising him.

Because of her strange illness, Laura was ashamed to see anyone. She was afraid that if Marcus found out, he would see her as a monster.

That was why she asked Wesley to tell Charles that once Marcus was older, to explain to him that his parents had gone on a trip to find him a gift.

All these years, that was the story they told Marcus. Even when she messaged or called him, she never dared reveal the truth. She would rather Marcus hate her than fear her.

After leaving Holden Residence,

Laura and Wesley had consulted

countless doctors. Some, upon

hearing her description, immediately

claimed that they couldn't help and asked them to leave.

Some would promise they could cure her, only for her to experience pain and

suffering without any improvement.

Despite the torment, Laura didn't give up. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to try.

But after so many attempts over the years, her body had grown weaker. Eventually, when she started coughing up clear liquid, she finally felt despair.

Out of nowhere, Charles suggested they contact Elim. Deciding to give it one last

try, Wesley and Laura sent an email to Elim's assistant.

And by some miracle, Elim accepted her as a patient.
