The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 262 What Goes Around Comes Around (Part 2)

Natalie, Charlotte, and Marcus arrived at the hospital. When they saw Hector, his expression was grim and hesitant.

"Hector, how's Emma?"

"Hector, how is she?"

Natalie and Charlotte asked at the same time.

Hector shook his head. "It's not good. But the head nurse just came out and said Emma is out of immediate danger."

"Hector, why didn't you perform Emma's surgery?" Charlotte asked, puzzled. She knew Hector usually participated in major surgeries.

"I'm not the right person to perform Emma's surgery," Hector said, glancing at the three of them before shifting his focus to Marcus. "I'm sorry for making you come all the way here."

"Why did you ask me to come? What's going on?" Marcus asked, eyeing the "Surgery in Progress" sign. He felt no sympathy for Emma, who had nearly been kicked to death by her own horse.

"When Emma was brought in, she thought she was going to die," Hector explained. "She asked for you. She wanted to see you before she passed."

Hector struggled with his feelings. Deep down, he thought Emma was ungrateful. For 20 years, their parents had raised her in luxury and pampered her, even though they weren't her biological parents. Yet, in what she believed were her final moments, the only person she wanted to see was Marcus.

It left him upset and resentful. Since Emma didn't want to see their parents, he had asked Natalie to keep it quiet. He decided that if they asked later, he'd tell them the truth.

After calling Gorge, he learned Marcus was at Walker Manor. Gorge told him Natalie had subdued Flash, but both her hands were injured. Even though she had treated them at home, Hector wanted them properly checked at the hospital. Since Marcus was with her, he had asked Natalie to bring him along.

"So, Emma wants to see me. Do I have to go?" Marcus shot Hector a cold glance.

"I thought I made myself clear last time at Holden Residence," he said firmly. "I don't want to see someone who drugged me. Even if Emma were dying, I wouldn't force myself to see her. Besides, she's not dying anytime soon."

With that, Marcus turned and walked away without hesitation. His firm demeanor and retreating figure radiated a terrifying detachment.
