The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 445 Questioning Wesley Holden

"Nat, Marcus has brought back the medicine," Hector called toward the medical room. Moments later, the door opened and Natalie stepped out, wearing full

protective gear.

"Well done. Mr. Langton will be back soon. Once he arrives, Laura's chances of recovery will be even greater," she said, glancing at Marcus.

"Nat, thank you." Marcus took a step forward, reaching out to embrace her, but she quickly moved back.

"Don't come near me, I have traces of the medicinal bath Laura soaked in on me," she warned.

Marcus wanted to say he didn't mind, but seeing the exhaustion in her expression, he held back. He didn't want to add to her burden.

"Marcus, go take a shower, change your clothes, and get some rest," Natalie instructed.

He was about to say he wasn't tired when she cut him off. "Listen to me. I worry about you too. Be good."

Her coaxing tone, like one used for a child, left him with no room to refuse.

"Hector, you should rest too," she added, turning to him. "All we need to do now is wait for Mr. Langton to return. For now, I just need to take care of Laura's medicinal bath. There's no need for so many people here."

Natalie winked at Hector, who immediately relented. "Alright, I'll take Marcus to rest. Nat, take care of yourself too. Rest whenever you need to."

"Don't worry. I know what I am doing."

"Then I will get some rest and come back later. Nat, thank you," Marcus said, his voice gentle.

"Go."

"Alright. I am leaving now."

After Marcus and Hector left the medical room, they headed to a guesthouse to rest. Upon arrival, an attendant arranged by Joshua greeted them and led them to their respective rooms.

"Mr. Holden, Mr. Walker, if you need anything, just use the phone in your room. We will provide service immediately."

"Alright, thank you."

"Thanks."
