The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 423

Chapter 423 She Wouldn't Let Him See Her Like That

Seeing Laura hesitate, Natalie decided to push a little harder. "Mrs. Holden, don't worry. I've practically one foot in the grave already-just an old woman with nothing left to lose.

"Mark isn't an idiot, and he's definitely not a creep. Even if we shared the same bed, nothing would happen, let alone just staying in the same room."

Laura was rendered speechless. Just imagining that scenario made her head hurt. Nonetheless, Natalie had already put it so bluntly. If she kept overthinking it, she would only make herself look narrow-minded.

Still, Laura could not shake the unease. Natalie might not care, but Marcus was young. He had his whole future ahead of him. He would date, fall in love, and get married one day.

After thinking it over, Laura carefully suggested, "How about I arrange two rooms for you instead? Dr. Elim, don't get me wrong. It's just that sharing a room might be a little cramped and uncomfortable for you both."

"That's fine." Natalie did not care about the room arrangements. Her only goal was to make sure Laura agreed to let Marcus stay.

They were mother and son, yet Laura was too afraid to acknowledge him. That kind of torment-being so close yet unable to reunite was already painful enough.

Letting Marcus stay might at least ease Laura's longing for him. Besides, Marcus refused to leave.

She added, "I'll make sure he doesn't wander around."

"It's alright. I'll have Benson take care of it." Laura did not know what to feel. She was happy, but more than anything, she was worried.

Her condition was unpredictable. She worried it might mutate or become contagious. If she ended up harming the people around her, she would never forgive herself.

"Mrs. Holden, please don't worry. Your illness is not contagious," Natalie reassured her firmly. "I will cure you. Trust me."

"Alright... I trust you." Laura hesitated but eventually nodded.

She turned and called Benson over. "Benson, prepare two guest rooms. Find out Mr. Mark' preferences and any things he dislikes. Do the same for Dr. Elim. Make sure everything is arranged properly so they are comfortable and feel at home. Understand?"
