The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 452 Curing Laura (Part 2)

"Mr. Langton, I don't think Laura has ever made enemies like that!" Natalie said, pursing her lips.

She had heard Laura talking about her past, and from that, she could tell what kind of person she was.

"That's uncertain," Federrick responded as he took out the acupuncture kit. "Once she's calmed down, I'll proceed with the acupuncture. You get the second dose ready."

"Yes, Mr. Langton."

Laura was in agony, unable to utter a single sound. It felt like an inferno was raging inside her, consuming her from within. In her chest, something seemed to be writhing and thrashing against her ribcage as if it would tear through her flesh at any moment.

The pain sent her body into violent spasms. However, with her legs secured to the bedposts and her hands bound, all she could do was press against the mattress, struggling in vain.

"Can Laura really make it through this, Mr. Langton?"

Natalie watched anxiously. "She swallowed the powder, but why hasn't she thrown up yet?"

Federrick replied, "Be patient. The Bloodbanes have been inside her for too long, so it won't come out right away."

"This is true torment." He let out a weary sigh. "The Holdens... they're far more complicated than they appear."

Then, he turned to Natalie. "Don't take offense, Nat, but if Grace could be Mr. Holden Senior's godsister, his hands might not be clean either. I told you back then that Grace was up to no good, right? You wouldn't listen that time. Do you believe me now?"

"Oh, while we're on this, Mr. Langton, I have something to ask you."

Natalie recalled the video she had received not long ago. "I was sent a video of Grace and Victor speaking in a hospital hallway before, and that video exposed her true nature to me.

"Are you the one who sent the video to me, Mr. Langton?"

"Do I look like I am?" Federrick rolled his eyes. "If I had that kind of evidence, I would've shown it to you when I saved you. Why would I waste my breath trying to convince you without proof?"

After a brief pause, he added, "It wasn't me. Besides, since when have I ever been the type to keep secrets?"

If he had that proof, he would've shown it
