Semua Bab Who's the Substitute Now?: Bab 371 - Bab 380

Natalie's harsh words reverberated in Mark's mind, leaving him feeling trapped in a freezing dungeon. He asked, "Are you… trying to kick down the ladder?"Natalie found Mark's reaction amusing. Walking in her pristine white heels, she slowly moved toward Mark, who looked tense.He looked at her with a touch of defiance as he asked, "Are you trying to threaten me?"Standing in front of Mark, Natalie lowered her head and gently shook it as she whispered into his ear, "You've got it wrong. I'm not threatening you. This is a decision."Keeping her head down, she adjusted the collar of Mark's white coat and added, "I trust you to make the right choice."Mark's hands trembled uncontrollably.Natalie smirked as she returned to where she was before. She glanced at him sideways, patiently awaiting his reaction.However, Mark remained stoic, and Natalie's frustration grew.She couldn't comprehend why someone would risk their own future for someone completely unrelated to them.Anger boi

Natasha lifted the note and raised an eyebrow, murmuring, "Errands to run?"She promptly went for her phone to call Daniel. However, she couldn't find his number even after looking through her contacts several times. She blinked, feeling puzzled.Then, she remembered that she had changed her phone number after leaving the Sullivan residence. The Sullivan family's numbers were lost along with her old one. Natasha scratched her head helplessly.Daniel had stayed up late the night before, leaving Natasha wondering about his early morning rush. Additionally, he had never been to Oceanville before, and Natasha hadn't had the chance to show him around.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Natasha set her phone down and shuffled to answer it in her slippers. As she swung the door open, a chilly breeze blew in.Standing on the doorstep was a woman who appeared to be around 40 years old. Even though her tiredness showed in the wrinkles on her face, she was dressed perfectly and exuded

Natalie's irritation vanished instantly. She asked, "Does he actually possess the Sullivan family's secret remedy?"Glancing at Daniel, who was standing next to Mark, she observed that he didn't resemble the Sullivans at all. From her perspective, there was no one like him among the Sullivans.She met his eyes.Having honed his social skills over many years, Daniel was adept at reading people's thoughts. With a glance at Natalie's expression, he discerned her lack of trust in him.Disregarding her, he proceeded toward the ICU and saw Philip lying in bed through the glass window. He wouldn't have come if it hadn't been for Natasha, even if the Graysons pleaded with him."What do you think you're doing?" Natalie found Daniel's actions rude. She silently cursed Mark for bringing questionable characters to the hospital. She was already irritated enough.Glancing back at Natalie, Daniel shook his head inwardly.While he didn't recognize Natalie, her presence here must be linked to th

"I never thought the Sullivans would be this generous. When they found out Grandpa Philip was sick and needed their family's secret remedy, they quickly sent someone over with it."My uncle even offered to come, but I didn't want to bother him, so I declined," Natalie explained softly."Has the person made it to the hospital?" Joshua asked with concern."Yeah, he's already here. He's getting ready to help Grandpa Philip.""I'll go there right away," Joshua said firmly.His pen stopped suddenly on the document as he became overwhelmed with emotions. The ink from his pen spread out in circular patterns on the paper."Thank you, Natalie," added Joshua."It was my pleasure to help," Natalie responded cheerfully.She stood outside the ICU door with a radiant smile. Daniel's unexpected arrival brightened her mood. Any irritation she had felt earlier was replaced by contentment.Daniel changed into a white surgical gown and put on a mask. His actions made Natalie see him in a new lig

Joshua lowered his gaze. Standing by the window, he watched the man inside intently.As Joshua had walked too quickly, Terry couldn't keep up with him.Arriving late, he panted as he climbed up the stairs. Perhaps because he made too much noise or because it was too quiet, Natalie turned to glare at him.Noticing Natalie's gaze, Terry awkwardly and self-consciously stood in a corner, trying to make himself as small as possible.Natalie withdrew her gaze. Although she didn't know why Joshua suddenly withdrew his hand before touching her face, she composed herself and approached him."Josh—"Before she could complete her sentence, Joshua turned away, interrupting her. "What's the doctor's name?"Having received such a big favor from the Sullivan family, he definitely needed to show his gratitude.In the face of that question, Natalie blinked, a hint of discomfort crossing her face.Why would she know his name? She only knew his surname was Sullivan. She didn't know anything else
