The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 261 What Goes Around Comes Around (Part 1)

Marcus lifted his gaze to Natalie. The petite woman was calm and composed, but her eyes held a hint of wariness. Her small face remained expressionless, as if she couldn't even feel pain.

He had already heard about the incident at Walker Manor-the horses had gone wild again. When he drove in, his car passed the Walkers' car as they left with Emma.

"Ms. Walker, you're really tough," Marcus said with genuine admiration as he carefully poured the medicine onto Natalie's palm. "Does it hurt?"

"It's fine," Natalie replied. Seeing how cautious Marcus was to avoid touching her injuries, she started to relax.

Marcus's lips pressed into a thin line. Natalie's fingers, usually slender and pale, were now a mangled mess of flesh and blood. His heart clenched at the sight.

Natalie, however, remained indifferent, as though the hands weren't even hers. Her ability to handle the pain earned his respect, but it also made his heart ache.

Marcus lowered his gaze and quickly poured the medicine onto her palm. He spread it evenly with a cotton ball before carefully wrapping her hand in gauze.

When he was done, Charlotte let out a heavy sigh. She had been crying nonstop, and Natalie ended up comforting her instead.

"Mom, I'm fine. Stop crying," Natalie said gently.

"Nat-" Charlotte started.

"Shh!" Natalie pressed the back of her hand against Charlotte's mouth. "Don't say anything. Go wash your face, put on some makeup, and then come back to entertain Mr. Holden."

Charlotte was stunned.

"Listen to me. Go on!" Natalie urged with a wink.

Charlotte gave in and stood up. "Alright, Sweetie. I'll be back down soon."

"Go ahead. Take your time! Do some skincare too," Natalie said with a playful smile. "Crying too much causes wrinkles, and if you get them, we won't look like mother and daughter anymore."

"Ah!" Charlotte gasped, hurriedly touching her face. "Alright, Sweetie. I'll listen to you. Marcus, please have a seat. I'll be right back."

"Okay," Marcus replied.
