The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 455 The First Visit to the Holden Family

Laura froze in shock.

Marcus furrowed his brows. "Didn't you see the trending news, Mom?"

She shook her head and uttered, "I've been unwell for so long. I never had the strength to concern myself with those things. Your father would bring things up now and then, but not often.

"That's why I don't really know what's been happening with the Walkers. And since I haven't seen much of Mrs. Walker over the years, there's a lot I don't know.

It didn't matter at the time. I just want to apologize, Marcus."

Laura let out a sigh. "I'm really sorry, Marcus. Will you forgive me?"

"It's okay. I don't blame you," Marcus said without hesitation. "Once you're feeling better, I'll tell you everything you want to know. What matters most now is following Nat's treatment.

"You've been through so much, Mom."

"Thank you for forgiving me, Marcus." Laura gently grasped Marcus' hand as she added, "I thought you'd never forgive me... that you'd resent me forever.

"But now, seeing how well you've turned out and how you have Nat by your side, I feel relieved."

"Yes, Nat is incredible. I misunderstood her before, and I regret it. But that's in the past. Now, we're happy together, and the future is ours to build."

The two talked for a while, their bond quietly mending, until Natalie came back with the water.

"Laura, let me help you freshen up first. Once you're feeling better, you'll need a herbal bath."

As Natalie wiped Laura's face and hands, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of hallucinations did you have?"

At her question, Laura's complexion paled. She remained silent for a while before finally speaking.
