The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 355

"Mr. Holden, please don't get mad. My husband is worried about Sophia. He truly cares about her. He's been worried sick about her," Julia said.

She pushed Ruby forward and added, "We'll check on Sophia. I'll leave Ruby here to keep you company.

"Ruby, you should talk to Mr. Holden and thank him for taking care of Sophia all this while."

Julia held back her cough while speaking. Then, she pinched Ruby's arm. Ruby winced in pain, but she didn't dare make a sound. All she could do was murmur, "Okay."

"Honey, let's go see Sophia."

Julia linked arms with Ivan, who was more than happy to leave. They walked past Marcus and Natalie and entered the hospital.

The moment Julia and Ivan left, Ruby thought of running away. "Mr. Holden, please don't take my mother's words seriously. I'll leave right away."

Ruby was scared to death when she saw Natalie because Natalie had evidence of Julia's affair.

Back then, at the convent, Ruby had seen the pictures herself. She had no idea what Julia had said to Ivan, but he didn't question her identity.

However, lies were still lies.

Ruby was terrified. Not only was she not an illegitimate child, she wasn't even his biological daughter. She was an imposter!

If Ivan ever found out that he had been raising someone else's child, judging by his attitude toward Sophia, Ruby could predict how miserable her life would become.

Therefore, she couldn't afford to get on Natalie's bad side.

As for Marcus, since the start, he was someone that she couldn't afford to mess with.

Ruby turned around and bolted after finishing her words. She ran away quickly as if she was being chased by ghosts.

"Let's go inside," Natalie said calmly. "We shouldn't let the Sinclairs bother Sophia."

"Alright."

Both of them entered the hospital together. Surprisingly, Ivan didn't cause a scene. He went straight to the doctor's office to inquire about Sophia's condition.

Once he stepped out of the doctor's office, his expression was grim. Julia just followed beside him, constantly covering her mouth with the handkerchief.

Julia tried to suppress it but failed. From time to time, she would cough badly.

Each cough caused Ivan's face to flicker with disgust. He would even distance himself slightly.

Naturally, Julia noticed. She had sent different people under different aliases to Goodwill Pharmacy to try to obtain the medicine, but to no avail.

All Julia could do was take other medicines to ease her condition, but they barely alleviated her symptoms.

Now that Natalie was standing in front of her, she was burning with frustration. However, she didn't dare offend Natalie. Deep down, she was cussing Natalie out, but on the surface, she still maintained a respectful demeanor.

"Ms. Walker, Mr. Holden, we've just spoken to the doctor about Sophia's condition."

Before Ivan could speak, Julia rushed forward. "Ms. Walker, this happened to Sophia at the Walker residence. Don't you think you owe us an explanation?"

She then turned to Marcus. "Mr. Holden, as Sophia's long-time friend, how could you let something like this happen to her there?"

"Excuse me, but what is your relationship with Sophia?" Natalie stared at Julia calmly. "As far as I know, Sophia's mother is Ms. Samantha Blair. According to legal records, her name is registered with Mr. Sinclair. So, who are you?"

Julia's face turned pale upon hearing Natalie's blunt questions, leaving her speechless for a moment. However, having been a mistress for many years, she was used to being shameless.
