Chapter 142 Choose Your Son or Her Marcus calmed down when he noticed how confident Natalie was.
After all, she was Dr. Elim, so he should be more confident in her.
"Thank you, Ms. Walker," he said sincerely. "I'll send you to Statenfield Hospital." "I can go back by myself. Just lenda car!" "No, I'll send you there. You didn't rest well last night," Marcus replied firmly. If he drove her back, she could nap for a while in the car.
He wouldn't allow her to drive by herself; she didn't rest well because she was so focused on treating Charles earlier. Though Marcus didn't feel bad for her, he still had a conscience.
Meanwhile, Natalie didn't want to waste any tfighting with him, so she answered, "Alright. I'll have to trouble you then, Mr. Holden." "Why are the both of you so courteous to one another?" As Charles lay in bed, he declared, "Nattie, since I'm your god-grandfather, Marcus is your godbrother.
"It's normal for you to order your brother about. Besides, you saved my life and are Marcus' benefactor. "Don't be so polite with him. You can order him around as you please." Marcus fell silent and thought, "My own grandfather is favoring someone else!" At the stime, Natalie kept quiet. She wondered how she should reply.
"Don't be shy! Those who are not afraid of embarrassing themselves will gain an advantage in this society!" After saying that, Charles closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Let's go! I'll send you back!" Marcus' expression remained aloof. He was polite and humble, yet he seemed rather indifferent.
However, the way he spoke was very domineering and left no room for discussion.
So, Natalie followed after him. She didn't have to leave any instructions to Connie because the latter would take good care of Charles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe left the gate with Marcus while Noah drove the car over. After Noah got out of the car, Marcus made his way to the driver's seat.
"Ms. Walker, please sit behind. You can take a rest." After opening the car door for Natalie, Marcus placed a blanket in the backseat.
Nodding, Natalie boarded the car. "Thank you." Once she entered the car, she didn't use the blanket. Instead, she closed her eyes and immediately went to sleep.
The journey from Holden Residence to Statenfield Hospital was pretty far. As such, she could nap on the way there.
When Marcus realized that Natalie had not used the blanket, he remained silent and adjusted the air conditioner's temperature instead.
Both of them remained silent on the journey.
The car arrived at Statenfield Hospital. After parking the car, Marcus looked at Natalie through his rearview mirror.
She was sleeping soundly, and her face was rather pale. Her hair fell messily around her, and her eyebrows were long and voluminous. This made her look fragile and indifferent.
After getting out of the car, Marcus checked his watch. He didn't wake Natalie immediately as they had stto spare.
Ten minutes later, he opened the car door. "Ms. Walker, please wake up. We're here." Natalie opened her eyes slowly only after Marcus called her a few times. Instinctively, she rubbed her eyes, looking rather endearing.
She soon snapped out of her groggy state and returned to looking aloof.
"Thank you," she said quietly. Then, she strode into the hospital.
"I know which room Mrs. Langley Senior transferred to. Follow me." Since Marcus was rather tall, he caught up with Natalie in a few steps and led the way. They entered the lift and went to the 12th floor.
Following that, Marcus exited the lift, with Natalie hurriedly following behind.
Both of them walked through the long corridor. At the end of the passageway, they reached the Advanced Care Unit. Grace's hospital room was next to the nurse station.
"Room 88 is where Mrs. Langley Senior resides." Marcus knocked on the door, and Charlotte replied, "Please enter." "I'm not going in, Ms. Walker. I have other matters to attend to in Holden Group. If you require assistance, you may call Noah. I have already sent you his number." "Thank you." "No problem." Marcus turned to leave.
However, after checking her phone, Natalie didn't see Noah's contact information. She then realized that Marcus had sent her a phone number on WhatsApp.
After saving that number, she entered the room.
Apart from the Walkers, Victor was also in the room. His face was bruised, and he was kneeling in front of Grace while complaining about how Natalie had hired people to beat him up.
"Mom, you have to make a choice today. You must choose between Natalie and me.
"Are you going to choose an outsider or your own son? You have the final say." Meanwhile, Grace lay in bed. Oxygen tubes were stuck in her body, and she had a cast on her right leg.
The car accident caused her to break her right leg and injure her internal organs. Thankfully, her wounds weren't that serious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlas, she was rather old, so she recovered slower than the average person after the accident.
"You're here, Nat." Charlotte approached Natalie and held her shoulder. "Did you sleep well last night? Are you alright?
"At first, I wanted to let you stay home, but you didn't want to telm everyone about our relationship. So, I didn't dare to say anything." "I'm alright. Thank you, Mom." Once Victor saw Natalie, he backed away instinctively. Everywhere on his body hurt, especially the injections on his arm.
Previously, Hector had drawn blood from Diana, Selena, and him.
He claimed that the entire family had to pay back the debts they owed.
So, the entire family had to suffer together.
"Grandma, are you alright?" Natalie approached Grace and held the latter's hand. The moment Grace saw her, she teared up.
"I'm sorry, Grandma. I couldn't pull you back in time." Shaking her head, Grace looked at Victor and Natalie.
"Nattie?" "I'm here, Grandma." Natalie hurriedly leaned forward.
After that, Grace patted her head. "Let them go." "What?" Grace added weakly, "Let my son go." Pausing briefly, Natalie looked at Grace before staring at Victor, who was kneeling. Grace wanted Natalie to spare Victor's family.
"Mom, you have to choosethis time. I'm your biological son." Meanwhile, Victor was still talking.
He snatched Grace's hand from Natalie and said, "Look atMom. I have been beaten up badly by Natalie's family. We raised an enemy!
"If you don't choosetoday, I'll jump off from this building, and you'll have to attend my funeral." While he En spoke, Victor dashed to the window.
