Laura was thrashing on the floor, screaming and banging her head against it. Her body was quickly covered in a thick layer of wild, white fur, which soon enveloped her completely.
Natalie's brow was knitted in concern. This was an unexpected development; it wasn't mentioned in Wesley's notebook. The mutation happened after she had taken certain steps, like administering medication and drawing blood.
Instead of intervening, Natalie carefully documented the entire thing and sent the information to Federrick. He was evidently anticipating her update, as he responded immediately.
"Natalie, to treat this condition, you need to use the Broken Heart Grass, Lethal Vermillion, Poisonous Snowdrop, and Wasteland Shadebloom from the hand-drawn book you got from the Holden family.
"Mix these highly toxic herbs, add Pallid Venom, and boil them vigorously. Once the mixture is lukewarm, let her soak in it for three days. This will expel the substances from her body, and then we can devise further plans."
Federrick sent over several photos and wrote, "These items are extremely rare, especially in the quantities we need. Natalie, if you can't save her, just let it go."
Upon reading Federrick's message, Natalie quickly responded: "No, Mr. Langton. I refuse to give up. I must save her."
Federrick: "These items have nearly died out. The names Broken Heart Grass and Lethal Vermillion are familiar, but their appearances have changed over time."
Federrick: "As for Poisonous Snowdrop and Wasteland Shadebloom, they remain unseen by anyone. Nat, if you want to save her, you must gather these herbs first."
Federrick: "Nat, this person is nearing death. She has been holding on for years and is almost at her breaking point. You're not skilled in dispelling the illness. Don't put yourself in danger."
Natalie read Federrick's messages carefully, contemplating for a while before slowly replying, "Mr. Langton, she is Marcus' mother, my boyfriend's mother. I have to save her, no matter how challenging it is."
Federrick took some time before replying, "Nat, I wish you success."
Natalie: "Thank you, sir."
Federrick had given her a method, which was far better than her attempting to figure things out on her own. The challenge, however, was that these items were indeed hard to locate. Yet, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was determined to try.
Hadn't Marcus mentioned that the Walkers possessed a vast collection of rare medicinal herbs? She decided she would return to the Walkers to obtain them.
Natalie couldn't stand seeing Laura in such agony and called Federrick again. "Hello, Mr. Langton. Mrs. Holden is now completely covered in fur. How can I help her return to normal?"
Federrick sighed deeply. "Nat, because you previously drained her blood and eliminated the secondary venomous insects in her system, the primary venomous insect in her body has become furious.
"As long as you can't destroy the primary venomous insect, she will remain in pain. However, since you gave her the life-saving pills I provided you, the primary venomous insect can't take her life for now. But if this continues for too long, it's uncertain."
"Mr. Langton, I also gave her the special insect-repelling medicine and detoxifying pills you made. Will those help?"
"They do help, but not significantly. Nat, use this time wisely and concoct the medicine quickly! Once you gather all the medicinal herbs, she will still have a chance."
"Mr. Langton, can you come back and help me? I'm not confident I can manage it alone."
"Nat, just call me immediately if you have any questions. Since you're committed to rescuing her, I'll be your biggest ally."
"Thank you, Mr. Langton."
"I don't need your gratitude. I want to see you succeed." Federrick chuckled. "Only if you succeed will you prevent me from looking foolish."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)
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...
