The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 23 A Humiliating Blow to Jessy

Marcus’s expression remained unchanged as he reached out and gently touched Natalie’s hand.

“Hello, Ms. Walker.”

Their hands only touched for a brief moment before Marcus quickly pulled away.

“Mr. Holden, Mr. Holden Senior’s condition isn’t critical for now, but you must keep an eye on his emotional state. He should avoid stress or emotional swings. Here’s a bottle of medication

for him.

“If he feels discomfort in his chest, he should take one pill. If the pain gets worse and he has trouble breathing, like today, he should take two,” Natalie explained, handing the bottle to Marcus. “If you’re unsure, I can take one first to show you.

Since Marcus didn’t believe her, Natalie decided to be straightforward. This medicine was something she had specially created for sudden cardiac events.

It worked well in emergencies and didn’t burden the patient, but the ingredients were rare and hard to find. She had worked hard to make even this small bottle. If Charles weren’t Grace’s good friend and someone she genuinely cared for, she wouldn’t have handed it over so easily.

Without waiting for Marcus to respond, Natalie took a pill and swallowed it herself. Marcus wanted to stop her, realizing that doing so would mean one less pill for Charles. He had already seen the effect of the medication after Charles had taken it.

After a brief moment of silence, Marcus said, “Ms. Walker, I never said I didn’t trust you.”

“Is that so?” Natalie didn’t respond further. She had already taken the pill, and if Marcus still didn’t trust her, she wouldn’t argue any longer.

“Mr. Holden, don’t trust her,” Jessy said as she stepped forward and showed Marcus her
