The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 375 Goodwill Pharmacy Was Robbed

Sophia hesitated to accept the acquisition contract, as she had never expected to get such an opportunity.

"Natalie gave it to you."

When Sophia didn't take it, Marcus placed the contract into her hands and stood up. "I'll bring her in so you can discuss it."

"Marcus, I... I can't accept this," Sophia called after him. "Even if you hand it over, I won't be able to hold onto it. I don't have any big dreams. I just want to work for Nat, earn a monthly wage, and support myself and my mom."

She had decided against marrying in her life, believing she wasn't worthy of a beautiful romance.

"You can discuss it with Natalie yourself," Marcus said as he left, not giving Sophia a chance to continue.

Sophia set the document aside, too afraid to open it. Her eyes filled with tears, and soon they streamed down her face silently. Life had been harsh to her, yet not entirely unkind.

After leaving the hospital room, Marcus saw Zachary and Natalie deep in conversation. Zachary held a bouquet of sunflowers in one hand and several takeout boxes in the other.

As Marcus emerged, Zachary gave him a slight nod. "Hello, Mr. Holden." "Hello, Mr. Holt."

After exchanging pleasantries, Marcus gently tugged Natalie aside. "Sophia is looking for you."

His action instantly created more space between Natalie and Zachary. However, Marcus released her quickly, maintaining a natural demeanor. The move was so subtle that if Natalie showed any irritation, it would appear as if she was being unreasonable and overly sensitive.

Before Natalie could respond, she found herself standing further away from Zachary.

Zachary smiled and said, "I'll head inside now. Mr. Holden and Ms. Walker, thank you for visiting Sophia. The doctor mentioned she needs ample rest over the next few days, so there's no need for frequent visits.

"As Sophia's psychologist, I don't have much on my plate right now, so I'll be here to look after her and Ms. Blair in the hospital. You both can carry on with your responsibilities without worry."

"Alright," Marcus agreed without hesitation. "It's convenient since we'll be quite occupied in the coming days. Nat, you heard Mr. Holt. Sophia needs her rest, so we shouldn't interrupt her."

"Let's go."

"Ah!" Natalie exclaimed as Marcus led her along. She turned to glance back. "Didn't you just say that Sophia was looking for me?"
