"Thankfully, I didn't say anything weird." Joshua let out a sigh of relief.
Now that Natalie's identity was still a secret, it was important to keep it that way.
"Let's go straight to the medical room!" he said.
However, Natalie stopped in her tracks.
After a while, Wesley appeared while pushing Laura in her wheelchair. "Elim, my wife has been unconscious and won't wake up no matter what I do. I'm really worried."
Wesley's eyes were bloodshot. During the journey here, he had secretly wiped his tears countless times. He was really worried that Laura would just pass away quietly in his arms.
If she died, he wouldn't want to live either.
"Don't worry. This time, the duration of her episodes was shorter, which exhausted all her energy. The Umbrahex was damaged and is now dormant. She isn't waking up because she needs sleep to recover.
She added, "Mr. Holden, don't worry. Now that we're here, the chances of curing Mrs. Holden are much higher."
Upon hearing this, Wesley felt more at ease.
"I'm sorry. My emotions got the best of me," he apologized with reddened eyes. "Elim, if I said anything wrong or did anything inappropriate, I hope you can forgive me."
"Mr. Holden, there's no need to be so cautious. I understand how you feel. Rest assured, since I've taken on this case, I'll do everything I can to cure her."
Natalie didn't have much time or the mood to worry about Wesley's feelings. She shot Marcus a glance and whispered to him. "Marcus, help calm your father down. Also, when I'm treating her, don't disturb me. That's the best way he can help me."
Back at Scarlet Hill Residence, Wesley kept knocking on the door. The noise he made was really distracting.
"Got it," Marcus replied and walked toward Wesley.
"Dad, you need to calm down. Even if you can't help it, please don't create more trouble for Elim, alright?
"If you want Mom to recover sooner, just listen and cooperate. You're afraid, but isn't Elim afraid too? Stop holding her back."
As Marcus spoke, he stared at Noah. "Noah, take Dad somewhere to rest."
"Yes, Mr. Marcus." Noah stepped forward and respectfully escorted Wesley away. "Mr. Wesley, you should take a rest."
After that, Marcus took over Laura's wheelchair.
"Joshua, could I trouble you to arrange a place for my grandfather and father to rest?" he asked.
"No problem." Joshua waved his hand and someone immediately came over.
"Yes, Joshua?"
"Matias, please bring Mr. Holden Senior and Mr. Holden to rest," Joshua instructed.
He then pointed toward their direction and said, "Just focus on hosting our guests. Hand over your tasks to someone else for now."
"Understood, Joshua."
Matias led Charles and the others to the guesthouse to rest.
Charles had been cooperative throughout. He was getting old and was ill for a long time. Now that he had finally nursed his health back, he should've been enjoying a peaceful retirement.

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...
