The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 303

Natalie spoke coldly and indifferently, but her tone was steady and soothing. As such, Sophia heeded her words.

She nodded. Though her face was still pale, her eyes had noticeably brightened a bit. "I understand now. Thank you, Ms. Walker."

Natalie nodded. "You're welcome."

Then, she continued, "I've checked your body, and you need to keep your mood relaxed, cry less, and take the prescribed medication. That way, you can recover faster."

While placing Sophia's hands back under the covers, Natalie took the chance to check her pulse. After the miscarriage, Sophia's body was very weak, and coupled with her troubled emotions that disrupted her energy, it made her physical health worse.

She would require more time to fully recover and adjust back to normal. However, the key to that was her cooperation. If Sophia continued on like this, even if her body recovered from the miscarriage, her energy and vitality would still be greatly compromised.

"Your body belongs to you, and everything else is secondary. If you're bullied, fight back. The worst that can happen is that everyone dies together. But remember, those who bully you are often more afraid of death than you are."

Natalie covered Sophia with the blanket and asked, "Ms. Sinclair, do you have a job?"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't."

Frowning, Natalie continued to ask calmly, "Have you never considered doing something for yourself?"

"I have. I looked for work before, but after working for a few days, they told me I wasn't qualified and fired me."

Sophia bit her bottom lip, saying, "I know Emma sabotaged me, but I don't have concrete proof, and Sky doesn't believe me. My dad doesn't believe me either."

"I understand." Natalie nodded. "If you're willing, you can work at my company after you recover. My parents gave me a clothing company, and no one but me has the right to fire you. Are you interested?"

Sophia was stunned once again and looked at Natalie incredulously. Was the universe finally showing pity on her? Could this really be the turning point she had been waiting for?

Natalie said that she was her own salvation, so was she giving Sophia a chance to redeem herself now?

Sophia's eyes reddened again, and she paid no regard to herself as she struggled to get out of bed. With a thud, she kneeled before Natalie. "Ms. Walker, thank you. Really, thank you."

She bowed three times without hesitation. She was more willing to cling to Natalie—another woman—than cling to Marcus in fear.

"If you carry on like this, you won't need Emma to take action against you; you'll destroy yourself." Natalie sighed and forcefully pulled Sophia up, pushing her to lie back down in bed.

"Emma can't threaten you anymore. If you want to break off the engagement with Sky, I can help you with that, but the premise is that you need to love yourself first.

"I can help you once, but not forever. Sophia, the only person who can save you is yourself," Natalie said.

Sophia nodded with tears streaming down her face. "I understand. Thank you, Ms. Walker. Thank you so much."

"Alright, no more crying. If you cry again, I'll rescind my help."

Upon seeing Sophia's tear-streaked face, Natalie couldn't help but soften. She remembered Emma crying in front of her, but the difference was clear—Emma's tears were fake, whereas Sophia's were genuine.

Sophia's childhood reminded Natalie of her own. Though their childhoods were similar, Natalie knew Tyler couldn't be relied on, so she gritted her teeth and worked hard to become strong. But Sophia had Marcus to protect her and rely on.
