The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 226

Natalie pondered for a moment. Hector did have a point there, but she wasn't going to dispute Lincoln just yet.

After all, Lincoln and Mason genuinely cared for her, and she was extremely grateful for them.

"She doesn't have to go." Lincoln pulled Natalie to him. "Sky can vent his anger out on me if he's upset."

"Lincoln." Hector sighed. "You wouldn't want Sky and Father to be at odds, right? Consider it a favor for me, Lincoln. Let Nat go, yeah?"

Lincoln looked at Natalie. Then, she nodded and answered, "Lincoln, I'll go check on Sky. Hector has a point there. I should check on Sky, but it's totally up to Sky to accept me. If he prefers Emma and is biased against me, that's his problem—not mine. I have you guys with me, anyway."

Natalie took the ointment and nodded at Lincoln. "I'll get going now, Lincoln."

"I'll go with you."

Lincoln was still feeling unsure, for he knew how much Sky had protected Emma.

"I'm fine on my own, Lincoln. Don't forget that Dad's in the house, too!"

Natalie smiled at the two of them with the ointment in her hand. Mason, however, was still hugging and kissing the car at the side Lincoln had just given him.

"Alright then, call me if anything happens," Lincoln said.

She nodded. "Will do."

Natalie then walked toward the elevator and went up to the first floor from the underground garage. Since she didn't see Sky in the living room, she asked a nearby helper, "Do you know where Sky is?"

"Mr. Sky went back to his room, Ms. Natalie."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, Ms. Natalie. Let me bring you to his room."

"Thanks."

Natalie followed the helper as they led her to Sky's room. Soon, she arrived at the door to his bedroom.

"Ms. Natalie, this is Mr. Sky's room. Please call me if you need anything."

Natalie nodded, thanking the helper.

After the helper left, Natalie knocked on the door. Then, she heard Sky's voice through the door. "Who's there?"

"It's me, Natalie."

"Come in!"

Natalie pushed the door open, walking into his room, only to see Sky had changed into a set of loungewear. She could also see the faint traces of bandages on his back.

"I brought some ointment for you, Sky."

She walked up to Sky, placing the ointment Hector had given her onto the desk.

Sky rubbed his temples lightly. "I don't need it. Hector took care of my wounds already. You can leave now if there's nothing else."

"I should probably explain the issue regarding Emma's stay," Natalie said after hesitating for a moment.

"I never once said I'd ask Emma to leave the Walkers after I came back. I believe I clarified that I won't treat her as my real sister, and she doesn't have to do so either. Also, I'd rather Emma and I each have our own way of living if we were to live under the same roof."

"Natalie, I was punished by Father because of you," Sky interrupted her. "You said you brought an ointment? You're just here to enjoy my misery, aren't you?

"Emma wouldn't cause you any trouble if she's staying home, and don't you even think about bullying her. Indeed, you're the Walkers' biological daughter, but it was Emma who had been accompanying Father and Mother for the past two decades."

At those words, Natalie knew continuing the conversation with Sky was pointless.

"If that's the case, then I suppose there's nothing more to say." She took the ointment back and chuckled. "Yeah, I don't want Emma here—got a problem with that?"

A chilly look crossed Natalie's face, and her eyes filled with quiet mockery. "Looks like Mr. Sky is willing to drive out his biological sister for Emma."

"Took you long enough to drop the act." Sky scoffed. "You're now the darling in the family, Natalie. How could I dare get rid of you? But you better keep in mind that if you hurt Emma, I'll make you pay."

"I'll look forward to how you'll make me pay then, Mr. Sky."
