The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 523 The Walkers' Wedding Gift List

Marcus smiled faintly and gave Natalie's fingers a gentle squeeze. "Alright. Do you want to take a nap?"

Natalie shook her head. "I already slept on the way here. I'm not tired anymore. I'll catch up on some work."

Then, she pulled out her phone to check her emails. Strangely, ever since she went to Scarlet Hill, there had not been a single message from that mysterious Code Zero.

Natalie could not deny that the silence bothered her. It was like someone had been watching her life from the shadows, yet she did not know who they were-or whether they were a man or a woman. Still, there was no need to rush.

She opened her inbox and quickly scanned through her business updates. Everything at Goodwill Pharmacy was running smoothly, Nouvelle Zara's profits were still impressive, and the fashion brand gifted to her by her birth parents was thriving-especially with Sophia contributing part-time.

Sophia's designs had a fresh spark, and the recent collection sold better than expected. Natalie had left Sophia a path to return when she first handed the company over, and now that Sinclair Group was back under Sophia's control, she was balancing both roles.

Though Zachary and a strong executive team supported her, Sophia still needed to review reports and attend meetings regularly, so she did not go full-time with Natalie's company-which Natalie completely understood.

After finishing up her reviews, Natalie logged into another email account to check if Connie had assigned her any new patients. Connie had filtered a few cases for her, but after reading through them, Natalie told her to decline all of them.

Even though Laura had been cured of Umbrahex, her body was still recovering, and that responsibility still fell on Natalie. Moreover, Federrick had only returned because he knew Natalie struggled with poison-based cases. He wanted to help -and also protect her.

By the time Natalie finished her work, the car had already pulled into The Herbalist's Sanctuary.

"Nat, we're here," Marcus said.

"Perfect," she replied, slipping her phone away. "I had Hector prepare a helicopter. We can head straight back from here."
