The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 436

After showing the other Holdens the samples, Connie brought them back to the medical room.

Wesley's legs gave out, and he fell to the ground. Even though the container was small, the layer of things packed inside was enough to make one's skin crawl.

More so, that was just a tiny sample. No one knew how much more was still inside Laura's frail body.

"Wesley, get up," Charles commanded coldly.

Connie's words made him realize a terrifying fact. Someone had been targeting the Holden family for more than 20 years.

The problem was, why did this person only harm Laura but not the rest of the Holden family? If they had targeted the entire family, none of them would've been prepared to fight back.

Now that they were asked to recall the details of Laura's childbirth, Charles didn't even dare think too deeply.

Sheldon asked cautiously from the side, "Mr. Charles, why don't we—"

"Shut up." Charles cut him off, his face turning even colder. He rarely lost his temper, but now, he could barely hold back his emotions.

"Yes, Mr. Charles." Sheldon didn't dare utter another word.

"Wesley, stand up," Charles ordered coldly.

Upon hearing this, Marcus quickly stepped forward to help Wesley to his feet.

"Marcus, take your father back to his room."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Marcus supported Wesley and led him back to his room.

"Marcus, I'm scared." Just as Marcus was about to walk away, Wesley grabbed his hand. "Don't go. Stay with me."

Marcus pried Wesley's hand away without a word.

"Marcus…"

"Dad, Mom needs us to find the herbs and also for you to recall every detail of her childbirth. I don't have the time to consider whether you're scared or not. If you truly love her, please, do us a favor and think hard about whether you offended anyone back then," Marcus said coldly.

He then turned and left Wesley's room.

What was the point of saying that he was scared? Would that help anything now?

When Marcus reached the door, he paused for a moment, casting a chilling glance at Wesley. "If you can't help, don't be a burden."

With that, he walked out.

Wesley slumped to the floor, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"If you can't help, don't be a burden."

Those words echoed repeatedly in his mind.

Back at the Walker residence in Dithoria, Charlotte and William hurried to the herb storage facility after receiving Hector's call.
