The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 21 Charles‘ Sudden Crisis

Natalie raised an eyebrow at Connie’s words. Marcus had actually let someone as questionable as Jessy treat Charles. What was he thinking?

“Ms. Walker, I’ve looked into Jessy’s background. She’s performed a few heart surgeries, but none of them were particularly complex. However, her mentor is Professor Milan from Emberfield,” Connie added.

Professor Milan was a renowned cardiology expert with a global reputation. He had successfully treated several patients deemed incurable by the medical community. His groundbreaking papers on heart diseases had earned him a place as one of the top cardiologists in the world.

The only person who could rival him was Natalie, who was known internationally by her alias, Dr. Elim.

Professor Milan had once tried to contact Connie to arrange a meeting with Natalie, but she had declined. Natalie preferred contributing to her own country over catering to wealthy international clients.

“Ms. Walker, if Professor Milan comes to Dithoria, will Mr. Holden Senior’s chances of a successful surgery improve?” Connie asked.

Natalie glanced at Charles, who was waiting nearby. His kind and gentle demeanor made him seem like a loving grandfather. He treated Natalie as if she were his own granddaughter, and she hoped he could live a long, healthy life.

“If the Holdens have brought Professor Milan in, we’ll wait for his diagnosis first,” Natalie replied calmly. “Connie, stay close to Marcus and keep me updated on any developments.”

“Alright, Ms. Walker,” Connie responded.

“By the way, I ran into Mr. Holden Senior at the mall,” Natalie added.

“Ah!” Connie was momentarily stunned. “It was no wonder why I didn’t find Mr. Holden Senior in the VIP suite. Marcus came looking for Him. He just left the hospital.”

“Got it,” Natalie replied before hanging up.

After ending the call, Natalie walked over to Charles. Ethan stood respectfully to the side, but his gaze carried a hint of complexity as he looked at her.

Natalie pretended not to notice and went straight to Charles. “Mr. Holden Senior, I have some inatters to attend to. I need to leave now,” she sail.

“Wait, let me buy you a gift,” Charles said. He felt guilty for leaving Natalie alone at Hilltop Villa while he and Marcus came to Balford, so he wanted to make it up to her.

“Nattie, don’t be so formal with me. Your grandmother is my good friend, and you’re her granddaughter, which makes you like my granddaughter, too.”
