The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 676

Chapter 676 Giving Them a Chance to Change Their Fate

Natalie knew Marcus well. He rarely talked this much all at once, so for him to suddenly open up meant something was definitely weighing on him.

He fell silent for a moment. After a long pause, he let out a sigh. "Was it that obvious?"

Natalie nodded. "Yeah, pretty obvious. What's going on?"

Marcus pressed his lips into a thin line. Another stretch of silence passed before he couldn't hold it in any longer. He pulled Natalie into his arms.

"Nat, I don't want to be apart from you. Ever since our honeymoon started, just thinking of going back to work with endless meetings, reports I can't finish, and conversations that never seem to end, I just don't want it to be over."

Now she understood. Marcus was back to being clingy. He couldn't help himself; he needed to be close.

"I have to work too, you know," Natalie said, gently patting his shoulder. "I've got just as much on my plate.

"We might not see each other much during the day, but I'll do my best to come home every night for dinner and sleep. If I take on any patients, I'll let you know ahead of time. Okay?"

Marcus didn't answer. That didn't sound okay to him at all. He wanted to be with Natalie every second of every day.

Especially when he thought about her treating patients like she had with Charles. She'd stayed at the patient's home or even at the hospital for long stretches of time, right up until they recovered.

Just thinking about that made Marcus uneasy all over again.

"Nat, if you take on a patient... can you bring family members with you?"

"Nope," Natalie replied bluntly. "Only people who are actually useful. When it comes to healing, you wouldn't be able to help.

"But you can help me run Nouvelle Zara and Goodwill Pharmacy. That way, I can focus entirely on treating patients and not get caught up in everything else. I'd still have plenty of time to spend with you."

"Really?" Marcus' eyes lit up. If helping her meant taking some weight off her shoulders, then going back to work didn't sound so bad anymore.
