The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 424

Chapter 424 Charles' Arrival

Laura's emotions were spiraling out of control. Sensing the tension, Wesley quickly stepped in and said, "Dr. Elim, Mr. Mark, could you step outside for a moment? I need to calm Laura down."

Natalie noticed the situation and knew that Laura was not ready to open up just yet. She exchanged a glance with Marcus before leading him out of the room.

Behind the closed door, Wesley pulled Laura into his arms and comforted her. "Laura, why don't we just tell Marcus the truth? You're his biological mother. He's not going to reject you."

Wesley gently tried to ease her worries, adding, "We've missed him all these years, but Father raised him well. There's no way he'd be afraid of you or turn his back on you.

"Besides, Marcus has missed us too. Even though we haven't spoken often, every time we did, I could tell that he's a respectful, kind-hearted young man. How about this? I'll talk to him first, and once he understands, you can meet him."

Laura shook her head, mumbling, "Wesley, no... I can't. I'm fine now, but what if I relapse?"

Her voice broke as tears spilled down her cheeks. "I already look terrifying as it is... What if he sees me when I lose control? I don't want to scare him!"

Wesley reassured her, "Marcus is grown now. He's not a child anymore. He'll understand what we've been through. He'll understand us."

Laura still shook her head, sobbing. "No... I just can't."

"Laura, listen to me," Wesley said firmly, holding her steady as she nearly collapsed. "If even Dr. Elim can't cure this, then there's no hope left. Do you really want to leave this world without ever seeing Marcus again?"

He continued, "Don't you want to hold him just once? To tell him how much you love him? Laura, trust me. I'll talk to Marcus first."

Before Laura could say anything, there was a knock at the door. Then, Benson's voice came from the other side, announcing, "Mr. and Mrs. Holden, Mr. Holden Senior is here."

Wesley froze, his mind blank for a second before his pupils widened in shock. "What did you just say?"

"Mr. Holden Senior just arrived. Dr. Elim and Mr. Mark are already talking to him," Benson reported.

At that moment, both Wesley and Laura were stunned. She even stopped sobbing as panic took over.
