The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 438 Bluffing Charles

Upon hearing Natalie's question, Hector immediately nudged her, reminding her of their agreement to only save Laura without meddling in the Holden family's

matters.

Natalie ignored Hector and continued sipping tea while continuing the

conversation. "Mr. Holden Senior, Mrs. Holden's condition is very serious. She's delayed treatment for too long.

"This time, she was lucky that I happened to know a bit about it, and we

happened to have the herbs to save her. But now, the information I have is very limited."

Natalie put down the teacup and added, "So far, we've only managed to expel one type of Umbrahex inside her, and they're still young. The main one is still inside her body.

"Mr. Holden Senior, back then, she had given birth at home, so many people came into contact with her. The ones closest to her were Mr. Holden and Marcus. However, both of them were fine, and so are you.

"As for Marcus, there's no need to mention him. He was just a newborn at the time, completely incapable of poisoning anyone."

"Nat," Hector interrupted her. "Drink some tea and have something to eat."

"Hector, I'm just having small talk. You don't have to worry." Natalie smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "None of you saw it, but I know very well how much pain and despair Mrs. Holden had to endure during the treatment."

Hector frowned but didn't refute her.

"Mr. Holden Senior, I know you're getting old, but I know you have a great memory," Natalie said. "You even told me many childhood stories of Marcus. That's why I wanted to ask if you recalled anything unusual during Mrs. Holden's childbirth."

Charles just kept quiet and stared outside the window. After a long while, he let out a sigh. "Nattie, I do have a great memory, but when Laura was giving birth to Marcus, there were simply too many people involved.
