Chapter 130 Move Or Regret It

Natalie’s grip on her phone tightened. “When did the shortness of breath start?”

“An hour ago. You need to come right away.”

“Alright, I’m on my way.”

She hung up and immediately rose from her desk, rushing to pack her medical kit.

“Natalie, what’s going on this time?”

Atlas hurried over, his face tense with worry.

“Gabriel’s having trouble breathing again. I have to get to the Collins estate immediately. You hold down the clinic; if it gets overwhelming, just close up.”

“It’s a stormy day; there aren’t many patients anyway. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of things here.”

Natalie finished packing and gave his arm a quick pat. “Good. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Drive slow; the rain’s coming down hard. Safety first.”

She nodded, snatched up her car keys, and bolted for the door.

On the road, the downpour snarled traffic, and Stella called her again and again, urging her to hurry.

She had never heard Stella so frantic; the situation had to be dire.

Natalie’s hands tightened on the wheel.

She took the quickest route she knew, winding her way up the mountainside until she reached the villa.

Rain pelted down; she didn’t even bother opening her umbrella. Grabbing her kit, she dashed straight for the entrance.

Just as she reached the door, someone stepped in her way.

Natalie’s gaze followed the slender hand that blocked her; she lifted her head sharply.

Victoria. And Jackson stood right beside her.

Chapter 130 Move Or Regret It

It was Victoria’s arm holding her back.

“What are you doing? Move!”

“After your so–called treatment, Grandpa’s condition hasn’t improved; it’s gotten worse. You’re not allowed in there again.” Victoria’s face was cold, her eyes glinting. “I’ve already called a doctor; he’ll be here any minute.”

“I said move! Did you hear me?”

Natalie’s voice rose, sharp and cutting.

She was already soaked from the rain; her hair and clothes clung damp against her skin. A gust of wind swept past, chilling her to the bone.

Even Jackson spoke up, his voice firm. “Natalie, Victoria’s right. After your treatments, Grandpa’s health really hasn’t improved. It must be because your medical skills aren’t good enough.”

“So stop interfering. The doctor we called is one of the country’s top thoracic specialists. He’ll handle it.”

“Grandpa’s condition is not suited for this kind of medicine. If you let them take over, the only option is surgery. He’s far too old, another surgery could kill him. None of you can bear that consequence!”

Natalie’s voice was ice, her eyes flashing cold as she stared them down.

Victoria snapped again. “Natalie! Maybe you were talented once, but you’ve been in prison for years. No matter how skilled you used to be, your abilities have long since rusted away!”

“And you, a woman who’s been to prison, your heart’s already twisted. Who knows what kind of shady tricks you’ve been using on grandpa behind everyone’s back?”

At that moment, Natalie’s phone rang again.

It was Stella.

Stella had to be upstairs with Gabriel; she clearly had no idea Natalie was being blocked at the door.

“Your mother–in–law called me here, and you’re both keeping me out. What exactly are you playing at?”

Natalie ended the call and lifted her eyes to the man in front of her.
