Marcus waited outside for a long time before the doors of the operating room finally opened. The doctor walked out and said, "Mr. Holden, the patient is out of danger."
Natalie had specifically told them not to mention anything of the pregnancy and to just refer to Sophia as the patient. "The family inside has requested a hospital transfer for her. They asked me to let you know."
Marcus nodded slightly. "Alright, thank you for your hard work."
"We're just doing our duty," the doctor said before leaving.
It wasn't long before Natalie also came out. This was the first time she had rushed to the hospital without any disguise.
She had watched the entire procedure to make sure the doctors could handle it. After she ensured that Sophia's life was not in danger, she didn't intervene. "Mr. Holden, I want to move Sophia somewhere else. Do you have any objections?"
Natalie got straight to the point as soon as she came out. "You were in the Walker family's territory when this car accident happened. I'll make sure you two get an explanation. But I'm worried that there's still someone targeting Ms. Sinclair, so I need to move her somewhere else."
Marcus nodded. "Alright, I have no objections. But you just arrived at Dithoria State. Are you sure you can find somewhere safe?"
Natalie replied, "You don't have to worry about that."
She turned around to change her clothes. Then, she made a call. "Hello? Zane, I'm sending you an address. Get an ambulance here to pick someone up. Prepare a guest room at South Street's Goodwill Pharmacy. My acquaintance will be staying there."
Zane responded eagerly, "Got it! I'll be right there."
After hanging up, Natelie sent the address. Marcus had been listening in and couldn't help but ask, "You know of Goodwill Pharmacy and Zane?"
Nattalie shot him a cool glance and answered emotionlessly, "Yes, Goodwill Pharmacy belongs to me."
"What?" Marcus was surprised. Goodwill Pharmacy was the largest traditional medicine pharmacy in Dithoria State, and its owner was rumored to be an extremely mysterious and powerful figure.
Some of their medicine was so rare that even the wealthy struggled to buy them.
Yet, Natalie was saying that Goodwill Pharmacy belonged to her.
Meanwhile, Zane was the youngest son of the Holt family. He was known for being carefree and irresponsible, but he was also the boyfriend of Ivan's mistress' daughter, Ruby Sinclair.
Due to Marcus' close relationship with Sophia, he never liked Zane. Everyone knew that Zane had done plenty to harm Sophia under Ruby's influence.
Yet, he just learned that Zane was associated with Goodwill Pharmacy, and that Goodwill Pharmacy belonged to Natalie. It meant that Zane was one of Natalie's subordinates.
After seeing the shift in Marcus' expression, Natalie raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, "What? You got a problem?"
"No, but do you know what kind of person Zane is?" Marcus wasn't one to badmouth others, but this concerned Sophia's safety.
He continued, "Zane's girlfriend is Sophia's father's illegitimate daughter, Ruby. In the past, Ruby bullied Sophia often, and it was with Zane's help."
Natalie tilted her head slightly. "Is that so? That'll be easy to handle. I'll just have Zane break up with Ruby."
Marcus scoffed. "That's impossible. Everyone knows how much Zane dotes on Ruby."
Natalie smirked. "Mr. Holden, don't be so sure. I didn't know about this before, but now that I do, Zane has two choices. Either he breaks up with Ruby, or he scrams from Goodwill Pharmacy."
"You're choosing to side with Sophia?" Marcus asked.

This one gets us readers asking for more! Excellent story, great twists......
Hope Grandpa Charles lives long enough to see Marcus and Nat's children, please. It will make him happy to see life is still worth living and that he didn't fail raising Marcus at least. Let him be happy at least in this aspect. Thanks...
Finished till 538....Waiting for more...
This really hurts. I am confused if Yvette sent a msg saying old love to Charles through Charlene. Why isnt it in her confession. Or did she actually set vivian up into sleeping with that man? And later blackmailed vivian with it till vivian commited suicide? Did Yvetty yhinks Charles would marry her after vivians death but he remained loyal. Hence her anger?...
Hope Nat can cure Marcus' mom. Looking forward to new updates. Thank you...
