Chapter 35 A Heiress as a Fake Nurse
“Mr. Holden, shall we head back to Mr. Holden Senior’s room?” Ethan asked cautiously. This was the second time he had witnessed Natalie confront Diana.
Whenever Natalie dealt with Diana, her entire demeanor would change. She would no longer be the obedient and gentle presence she was in front of Charles.
“Yes,” Marcus replied, offering no further comments as he led Ethan away.
In just a few days, Charles would be undergoing surgery. Hence, Marcus wanted to avoid any unnecessary complications during this period.
When they returned to the VIP suite, they found a woman in the nurse’s attire standing at the entrance. She was speaking with a bodyguard, who was firmly refusing her entry.
“What’s going on?” Ethan approached and quietly asked the bodyguard.
“Mr. Carter, this young lady insists that she’s the new caregiver and claims that she will be responsible for taking care of Mr. Holden Senior’s daily needs. However, we haven’t seen her before, so we can’t allow her in.
“She’s also not on the employee list from Quinton Hospital, but she has her employment information. After checking, we’ve found that she was indeed recruited by the head nurse just recently. However, that person resigned an hour ago,” the bodyguard explained.
Selena felt an uneasy premonition upon hearing that Daniel had resigned just an hour ago. However, she knew that she couldn’t show any signs of weakness at this moment.
The original plan was for Selena to approach Charles while he was out for a walk. However, her impatience had gotten the better of her.
After finding out which floor and room Charles was in, she hurried over, only to discover that there were bodyguards stationed at the entrance of the VIP suite, preventing her from entering.
The bodyguard questioned Selena for a long time and checked her various credentials. In the end, he remained firm in his decision that she was not allowed inside.
When Selena saw Marcus, her heart raced uncontrollably. Her gaze instinctively fell on his face. He had sharp brows, striking eyes, a high nose bridge, and beautifully shaped lips.
His dark eyes held an intense depth, and when he looked down at her, an unspoken pressure enveloped her. His jawline was distinctly defined, and his Adam’s apple was both attractive. and enticing. Selena couldn’t help but imagine how alluring he must look when he swallowed.
The thought that such a perfect man was Natalie’s boyfriend made Selena seethe with jealousy. After calming herself down, Selena adopted a gentle tone.
“Although I’m new here, I graduated from a professional nursing school and have worked in a specialized hospital for quite some time. Every patient I’ve cared for has spoken highly of me.”
Selena tried to speak as sweetly as possible but with tenacity. She was determined to impress Marcus, hoping that he would fall for her at first sight.
“Mr. Holden, I know this woman. She’s not a nurse. She’s the real daughter of the Langley family.”
Marcus furrowed his brows slightly at this revelation and shot Ethan a knowing glance before stepping into the hospital room. Ethan immediately understood what needed to be done.
“Ms. Langley, this way please,” Ethan said while gesturing politely at Selena. He had a deep impression of her after witnessing Natalie confront the Langley family while in Amberton. Selena, who had been lost to the world for 20 years, lacked both the looks and grace of the fake daughter, Natalie. Moreover, she didn’t show any respect to Grace.
While Natalie had been vain and greedy about keeping the Langley family’s shares, her concern for Grace was genuine. In this regard, Ethan felt that Selena fell short compared to Natalie.
Ultimately, this was a matter concerning the Langley family in Amberton. It didn’t involve the Holdens and was merely gossip for light conversation. However, they were displeased about Selena approaching them under the guise of a nurse.
Selena’s eyes widened in disbelief as she processed Ethan’s words. “You know me?”
“Yes. You’re Victor Langley’s daughter, Selena Langley. Am I right?” Ethan’s tone was polite, but his demeanor was resolute.
“Since you’re the daughter of the Langley family, we don’t need you to be the nurse. So, I must ask you to leave.”
Selena became slightly hopeful about the prospect of getting closer to Charles when she realized that Ethan recognized her.
“Since you know I’m the real daughter of the Langley family, why don’t we step aside for a moment to talk?” she suggested, flashing him a bright smile.
“I’m sorry,
but I have nothing to discuss with you. Please leave. If you refuse, I’ll have to ask someone to escort you out,” Ethan replied while giving a discreet hod to the bodyguard.
“Understood,” the bodyguard affirmed.
As Ethan entered the VIP suite, the bodyguard swiftly moved to restrain Selena. He then escorted her away from the VIP floor.
“Mr. Holden, she has left.”

Marcus nodded, while Charles looked over with curiosity. “Who was just kicked out?”
Ethan explained respectfully, “Ms. Selena Langley is the real daughter of the Langley family. She’s pretending to be a nurse in the hospital to get close to you.
After a moment of contemplation, Charles finally recalled who she was. He said, “Oh, she’s the one who recently returned to the Langley family and caused Natalie to be kicked out, right?”
“Yes, that’s her.”
“Does Natalie know about this?” Charles‘ expression turned serious.
During his phone call with Grace, she had tearfully recounted how their family had bullied Natalie after Selena returned. Now that Natalie was at Quinton Hospital and Selena had appeared as well, it was likely that she was there to make things difficult for Natalie.
