The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 417 Scarlet Hill

Natalie carefully reviewed everything and forwarded the email to Federrick after some thought.

Natalie typed, "Mr. Langton, take a look at this patient. This illness doesn't seem like something a normal person would contract."

Before long, Federrick replied, "This is Umbrahex. There's something inside this person's body. Nat, this kind of condition isn't something an ordinary person can cure. Just give up!"

Natalie quickly typed back, "I won't give up. I've already accepted this patient, Mr. Langton. Can you not discourage me before I've even begun?"

"Oh? You've got some backbone. Well, I'll be watching you. Keep it up."

As Natalie looked at the heart emoji at the end of his last message, she could not help but reply with a long string of dots.

However, Federrick's words confirmed her suspicions. This patient wasn't suffering from a common illness.

She wasn't particularly skilled in treating Umbrahex, but since she had taken on the case, she was determined to cure the patient.

Natalie didn't continue chatting with Federrick, but she received a document from him five minutes later. She opened it to find information about Umbrahex.

Natalie couldn't help but smile. He was still the same-stubborn on the outside, soft on the inside.

She replied, "Thank you, Mr. Langton." Of course, she ended the text with a heart emoji of her own.

Federrick texted back, "I'm just worried about being embarrassed if you can't cure the patient properly."

"Yes, of course, Mr. Langton. Don't worry. I definitely won't disgrace you." And another heart emoji for good measure.

Federrick didn't reply anymore. Natalie exited the chat and began seriously reading through the information.

The driver continued to drive smoothly. They stopped to rest a few times along the way, making for a relatively relaxed journey to Amberton.

Upon arriving, Natalie immediately instructed Noah to navigate them to Scarlet Hill. She had already arranged a meeting with the patient, and someone would be there to welcome her.

Marcus, on the other hand, had grown increasingly silent ever since they entered Amberton.
