The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 206 Sheldon Boldly Speaks Up Natalie stayed at Goodwill Pharmacy for half an hour, preparing medicine that Charles would need to consthe next tshe met him. She also grabbed sscar removal cream for herself.

She was about to say her final goodbye to the Langleys, and she also wanted to erase the scars Diana had left behind on her body.

She didn't want Charlotte to feel heartbroken and shed tears every tshe saw them.

After gathering her things and saying goodbye to the others, she left Goodwill Pharmacy.

Back at Holden Residence, Natalie handed the medicine to Connie and carefully explained how to prepare it. Then, she went to see Charles.

Charles was sitting in the dining room. Ever since he returned, he had enjoyed staying there and brewing tea. However, due to his health, he couldn't drink the tea himself. Instead, he would brew it for Connie and Sheldon to enjoy.

When the two of them couldn't finish it, Charles would leave the teapot there, waiting for Natalie and Marcus to return so they could drink it instead.

The moment he saw Natalie enter the dining room, Charles immediately chuckled and called her over. "Nattie, csit! I brewed a new tea today—it's from letaly! Come, have a taste." Natalie sat down and accepted the teacup Charles handed her. She had barely taken a sip before she frowned. "Mr. Holden Senior, this isn't letalian tea! This is Menion tea from Balford!" "What?" Charles widened his eyes. "That's impossible! The lady who sold it toeven senta video of an letalian tea plantation!" Natalie chuckled and set down her teacup. "Mr. Holden Senior, I'm sure this is Menion tea from Balford. The security guards at Quinton Hospital all drink this exact kind.

"Mr. Holden Senior, you really shouldn't trust those online tea sellers so easily. There are a lot of scammers nowadays, and you're too kind and soft-hearted. Scammers probably see you as a VIP client. The moment they get a chance, they'll try to scam you!" Charles looked displeased. In other words, the tea he had been brewing all this twasn't from letaly, but from Balford? "Mr. Holden Senior, does Holden Residence really require you to purchase tea leaves yourself?" Seeing that Charles looked a bit downcast, Natalie quickly changed the topic.

Charles shook his head. "Of course not! I was just bored and browsing through stuff online when I cacross a pitiful but persevering young lady with a tragic life story.

"I sent her svirtual gifts and left a comment encouraging her to live well, and then she added me.

"Later, I listened to her full story and felt even more sorry for her." "What story?" Natalie's lips twitched. "Don't tellit's the gambling father, sick mother, depressed younger sister, and the broken-hearted girl trope?" Charles smacked his thigh. "Nattie, you're amazing! That's exactly it!" Natalie was speechless. "Mr. Holden Senior, she's a scammer. Did you lose a lot of money? Report it to the Federal Trade Commission!" "Not much, just a little over 100 thousand dollars. But forget it. Perhaps she really has difficulties and had no choice but to lie." To Charles, 100 thousand dollars was just a drop in the bucket. If the lady truly needed money, then helping her was a good thing.

Natalie nodded. Since that was how Charles saw it, there was no need for her to try to convince him otherwise. "Mr. Holden Senior, it's about time. Let's get ready for the acupuncture," she said. "Alright." Charles stood up. He looked at the various types of "high-end letalian teas" he had bought, and he suddenly wasn't sure if he should keep brewing them for everyone.

"Nattie, helpdeal with these tea leaves. Don't let Marcus find out!" Charles said, feeling a little guilty. "You see, Nattie... While helping people is a good thing, getting scammed is quite embarrassing." "Don't worry, Mr. Holden Senior. I won't tell anyone," Natalie reassured him. "Con. Let's get ready so we can start your acupuncture." Charles sighed and quickly agreed. Recently, he had been feeling much better. Even if he occasionally felt uncomfortable, he would take one of the pills Natalie had given him, and the discomfort would subside immediately.

Natalie had told him that as long as he cooperated with the acupuncture treatment and herbal medication, his health would improve.

As people grew older, they would inevitably fear death. Charles wanted to live a few more years to see Marcus get married and have kids.

If his health allowed him, he even wanted to help look after Marcus' children.

As usual, Natalie carefully checked Charles' pulse, made sure he consumed the medicine, and proceeded with his acupuncture.

By the teverything was done, it was already 8:30 pm.

After cleaning up, Natalie once again gave Connie sfinal instructions before leaving the villa while Charles was asleep.

Just as she was about to leave, she noticed Marcus standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows. He had a tall, slender figure and a cold, stern expression. One hand was tucked into his pocket, while the other held a glass of red wine.

Their gazes briefly locked onto each other's, and Natalie gave a slight nod in greeting.

Whenever she performed acupuncture on Charles, Marcus would always be present, no matter how busy he was. Natalie wasn't sure if this was because he didn't trust her or if he was simply concerned about Charles.

She saw Marcus raise his glass slightly in response. She nodded again before turning to get into her car.

Inside the villa, Sheldon stood beside Marcus. He held back from saying anything for a long tbefore he finally asked, "Mr. Holden, did you know that Ms. Walker has a boyfriend?" "Sheldon, do you have that much free ton your hands?" Marcus downed the rest of his red wine in one gulp, his tone sounding icy as he spoke.

"No, Mr. Holden. But... That night, when you were drunk, you were all over Ms. Walker, kissing and nibbling at her. Why don't you have any reaction to that news?" Sheldon continued fearlessly, "Mr. Holden, you already gave your first kiss to Ms. Walker. Are you really not considering pursuing her?" "Sheldon!" Marcus called out in a booming voice. His gaze instantly turned colder than before. "Watch your words."

Sheldon could see that Marcus was extremely angry, but he still daringly pressed on. "Mr. Holden, don't try to aet cool, or you'll end up having to travel a painful road to winning her back!" "Sheldon!" Before Marcus could yell at him, Sheldon quickly turned and ran.

Marcus' expression darkened like a raging storm. Sheldon was getting more and more out of line.

Back in his own room, Sheldon patted his chest and took deep breaths. Marcus' angry expression was terrifying!

But honestly, if he didn't say it today, he wouldn't be able to hold it in any longer. Anyway, no matter how angry Marcus got, he wouldn't actually fire him. Sheldon was doing this for Marcus' own good. The latter had never been in a relationship before, so he didn't fully understand the circumstances. But as someone older, Sheldon had witnessed countless others fall in love, marry, and have children. He knew that Marcus treated Natalie very, very differently.

It was just that Marcus himself hadn't realized it yet.

Sheldon sighed deeply. "Oh, Mr. Holden, I'm just looking out for you! When you regret it later, you'll understand my good intentions. Ms. Walkenis such a good person. If you miss this chance, you won't find another like her!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
