Marcus calmed down when he noticed how confident Natalie was.
After all, she was Dr. Elim, so he should be more confident in her.
"Thank you, Ms. Walker," he said sincerely. "I'll send you to Statenfield Hospital."
"I can go back by myself. Just lend me a car!"
"No, I'll send you there. You didn't rest well last night," Marcus replied firmly. If he drove her back, she could nap for a while in the car.
He wouldn't allow her to drive by herself; she didn't rest well because she was so focused on treating Charles earlier. Though Marcus didn't feel bad for her, he still had a conscience.
Meanwhile, Natalie didn't want to waste any time fighting with him, so she answered, "Alright. I'll have to trouble you then, Mr. Holden."
"Why are the both of you so courteous to one another?"
As Charles lay in bed, he declared, "Nattie, since I'm your god-grandfather, Marcus is your godbrother.
"It's normal for you to order your brother about. Besides, you saved my life and are Marcus' benefactor.
"Don't be so polite with him. You can order him around as you please."
Marcus fell silent and thought, "My own grandfather is favoring someone else!"
At the same time, Natalie kept quiet. She wondered how she should reply.
"Don't be shy! Those who are not afraid of embarrassing themselves will gain an advantage in this society!" After saying that, Charles closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Let's go! I'll send you back!"
Marcus' expression remained aloof. He was polite and humble, yet he seemed rather indifferent.
However, the way he spoke was very domineering and left no room for discussion.
So, Natalie followed after him. She didn't have to leave any instructions to Connie because the latter would take good care of Charles.
She left the gate with Marcus while Noah drove the car over. After Noah got out of the car, Marcus made his way to the driver's seat.
"Ms. Walker, please sit behind. You can take a rest."
After opening the car door for Natalie, Marcus placed a blanket in the backseat.
Nodding, Natalie boarded the car. "Thank you."
Once she entered the car, she didn't use the blanket. Instead, she closed her eyes and immediately went to sleep.
The journey from Holden Residence to Statenfield Hospital was pretty far. As such, she could nap on the way there.
When Marcus realized that Natalie had not used the blanket, he remained silent and adjusted the air conditioner's temperature instead.
Both of them remained silent on the journey.
The car arrived at Statenfield Hospital. After parking the car, Marcus looked at Natalie through his rearview mirror.
She was sleeping soundly, and her face was rather pale. Her hair fell messily around her, and her eyebrows were long and voluminous. This made her look fragile and indifferent.
After getting out of the car, Marcus checked his watch. He didn't wake Natalie immediately as they had some time to spare.
Ten minutes later, he opened the car door. "Ms. Walker, please wake up. We're here."
Natalie opened her eyes slowly only after Marcus called her a few times. Instinctively, she rubbed her eyes, looking rather endearing.
She soon snapped out of her groggy state and returned to looking aloof.
"Thank you," she said quietly. Then, she strode into the hospital.
"I know which room Mrs. Langley Senior transferred to. Follow me."
Since Marcus was rather tall, he caught up with Natalie in a few steps and led the way. They entered the lift and went to the 12th floor.
