The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 429 So Much Pain

Laura's piercing scream caused Natalie to release her hand abruptly.

"It hurts, it really hurts, it hurts so much!" Laura cried, tears cascading down her cheeks. Her eyes met Natalie's, brimming with pain and a sense of hopelessness.

"Please... Save me, save me," Laura pleaded, reaching out toward Natalie, only to snatch her hand back at the last moment. "I can't risk harming you. You should leave first."

"I'm not going anywhere," Natalie replied. She refrained from assisting Laura, wanting to gauge the extent of Laura's resilience.

Despite years of suffering, Laura's determination proved remarkably steadfast. She continuously reminded herself not to cause harm to others.

"Mrs. Holden, you can trust that you won't hurt me," Natalie assured her gently.

Laura simply stared at her, tears still flowing. She curled up tightly, her body shaking. "I feel so terrible," Laura admitted to Natalie. "It hurts."

"Just hold on a little longer. I need to assess your current state," Natalie said.

With her gloves, Natalie gently touched Laura's forehead. Laura's body felt unusually cold, not at all like a typical person's.

"Your temperature is very low," Natalie noted.

"But I feel really hot," Laura responded, wondering if it was due to the medication Natalie had given her. This time, she wasn't completely out of it. She could think clearly and talk with Natalie.

"Elim, my condition is different this time. Before, I couldn't control myself and felt an urge to cause harm. But now, I can keep myself in check, and my mind is clear," Laura explained, meeting Natalie's eyes. "The medicine you gave me might be working."

Then, she added, "But, I'm still in a lot of pain. It hurts so much."

Natalie nodded. "I need to monitor you for one cycle, so you'll have to bear with it for a bit. I can't just give you more medicine randomly now. There were only two pills of that kind."

The medicine Natalie gave Laura was the same one Federrick had provided for life-saving situations. He had advised her to use it only when absolutely necessary.
