The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 484 Everything Happens for a Reason

Natalie continued lying on Marcus' back. Although she wasn't heavy, she was still worried about his condition.

She got up from his back and reached out to pull him up. "Go brush your teeth and take a shower before going to bed."

"Nat, I want to sleep with you," Marcus said softly as he looked at her. "I promise to be good and not do anything. I just want to hold you while I sleep."

Natalie shook her head. "No."

"Oh." A hint of disappointment flashed across Marcus' face, but he still nodded obediently. "I'll go brush my teeth and take a shower. Don't go anywhere, okay?"

"Okay. I'll wait for you here."

Natalie coaxed Marcus into the bathroom and watched him brush his teeth. Once he was done, he went to take a shower.

While waiting for him, Natalie prepared a set of pajamas and a towel for him.

"Marcus, I'll put them at the door. Just open the door a little and take them in yourself later."

The only response from inside was the sound of running water.

Since she promised not to leave, Natalie placed the clothes on a stool by the door and then walked over to the window.

Pushing it open, she took a deep breath. The faint herbal fragrance in the air instantly calmed her down.

She thought back to how she first met Marcus, as well as the events that followed. She had saved his grandfather, and he also saved her when she was drugged.

Marcus had helped her, so she wanted to repay him by helping him with his parents' situation. She never expected that the patient she had taken on this time would turn out to be his mother.

Federrick hadn't returned to The Herbalist's Sanctuary for a long time, yet he returned to treat Laura's Umbrahex. Not only that, he even ran into the person Marcus had been investigating.

It was as if everything happened for a reason.

Natalie rested her arm on the windowsill, resting her chin on her palm as she gazed over the scenery around The Herbalist's Sanctuary.
