Chapter 2151: Chapter 2151: Dissing Nathalie in Front of Her
The doctor was unnerved by his seemingly penetrating eyes that discerned the truth and quickly found an excuse to leave hurriedly.
Once the doctor and nurse left the room, Mrs. Davidson on the sickbed seemed to recover, ’forcing’ herself to perk up and said to Yuni Davidson: "Where’s Marcella?"
Yuni glanced back, then shot a sidelong glance at Mrs. Davidson, Mr. Davidson, and Leony Davidson, feeling very frustrated, speaking in a short and quick manner: "She hasn’t come yet; she’s probably on her way."
"Is she really going to finish her meal before coming to see me?!" Mrs. Davidson seemed angry again, her face flushed, clearly very upset: "To make such a fuss over an outsider, what does she want before she stops! In her heart, we as a family aren’t as important as an outsider’s place; I’d like to see what kind of charm that person has over her, that she would abandon her own family!"
"Mom, Nathalie isn’t that kind of person." Yuni said irritably, quickly: "Don’t listen to some people gossiping."
It was obvious who "some people" referred to.
Mr. and Mrs. Davidson looked embarrassed.
Mr. Davidson quickly explained on the side: "We didn’t tell Mom anything; she heard it from others. The news of Marcella wanting to acknowledge a goddaughter has spread all over Inderia, so Mom heard rumors just by asking around."
Yuni glanced at him irritably, tucked Mrs. Davidson’s quilt, and retorted: "What rumors are you talking about?"
Mr. Davidson seemed embarrassed to mention but started to say: "Outsiders are saying that our Davidson Family wants an outsider to inherit."
Yuni’s face darkened but she hadn’t had time to get angry yet.
Mr. Davidson straightforwardly said the more offensive part: "They’re even saying that Marcella is crazy, ignoring Leony, who is an 8-level member of the research laboratory, preferring an outsider. Letting an outsider take advantage of our family! Some even say that outsider approached Marcella for the purpose, just to seize the Davidson Family’s connections and inheritance."
At this moment, Jaycent Kingsley’s face was serious, just about to lose his temper.
Outside the ward, Nathalie Quinlan, Marcella Davidson, and Kenzie Nabours had just arrived.
The three just reached the door and heard the lively conversation inside.
Nathalie happened to hear her name being mentioned; she stopped in her tracks at the door, adjusted her duckbill cap, and under Marcella’s and Kenzie’s gaze, walked in rather indifferently, continuing Mr. Davidson’s words.
"Seems like I came at the wrong time, disturbing your chat."
Her presence was very strong.
As soon as she entered the ward, everyone’s eyes were drawn to her.
Leony Davidson saw Nathalie come in, involuntarily clenched her hand, with her nails digging into her flesh, completely fixated on Nathalie.
Yuni and Jaycent hadn’t expected Nathalie to arrive at this time, just in time to hear what Mr. Davidson had said.
Both of their expressions changed, instinctively turning to see the girl’s reaction.
Jaycent explained on the side: "Nathalie, don’t listen to what they’re saying."
"What words?" The girl raised an eyebrow, seeming not to be angry.
Jaycent couldn’t discern what she was thinking.
At this moment, Mrs. Davidson on the bed realized who Nathalie was and jumped in: "Are you Nathalie? Come, let me see."
Mr. and Mrs. Davidson and Leony made way.
But Nathalie didn’t walk over; she just glanced at the old lady’s complexion on the bed from a distance, and said to Marcella and Kenzie who came in later: "The patient’s complexion looks okay, speaking energetically, no problem with cardiopulmonary function, should be fine."
