The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 133 The Accident Part Two

Charlotte swallowed the words she was about to say. "Yes, I really like Nat, and since Mrs. Langley Senior was brought to Dithoria State by me, I naturally have to take responsibility for her.

"Marcus, you're at the hospital, right? Please reassure Nat; I'll be there immediately." Without waiting for Marcus to respond, Charlotte hung up the phone.

He put his phone back in his pocket and waited quietly outside the emergency room.

Marcus wasn't sure how much time had passed when the emergency room door finally opened, and the hospital director, Rayden Cote, walked out.

"Mr. Holden, Mrs. Langley Senior is fine."

Rayden reported the situation with great respect. He had followed the case closely since Marcus had called him before Grace was brought in. He came out to report as soon as the emergency treatment was over.

Marcus nodded slightly. "Who performed the surgery?"

"It was Dr. Frost from our hospital."

"Good." Marcus waved his hand. "You may go now."

"Yes, Mr. Holden."

After Rayden left, Grace was taken to the Intensive Care Unit for 24-hour observation. She would be moved to a high-end ward once she was stable.

Dressed in surgical scrubs, Natalie walked out. Her legs felt weak. She hadn't entirely understood before why some doctors couldn't operate on their own family members. The moment Grace had been hit and sent to the hospital, lying on the operating table, she understood.

It was impossible to stay calm. Her hands and feet were limp, her vision blurred, and all she could feel was panic and the urge to cry.

Natalie had never imagined that she wouldn't know what to do if something really happened to Grace.

"Ms. Walker, don't worry. Mrs. Langley Senior will be fine."

Just as she was in a state of panic, she heard Marcus' voice. She slowly looked up, and his handsome face and sharp features came into focus. Although he looked cold, he gave her a sense of stability at this moment.

He extended a clean, long finger to offer her a tissue. Natalie stared at his hand for a moment before slowly taking it.
