The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 672

Marcus' devastatingly handsome face remained cold and unreadable, completely unmoved by Maverick's gut-wrenching screams.

"Help! Somebody help! He's killing me! Please! Anyone!"

The louder Maverick screamed, the harder Marcus' foot pressed down on him. Eventually, the pain became too much, and Maverick blacked out.

Marcus did not even spare Maverick another glance. His deep, cool voice cut through the air like steel as he said, "Get the doctor and tell him to wake Maverick up."

"Yes, Marcus," Taylor answered immediately before turning and rushing to the next room to drag Declan Woods over.

Declan had already heard the screams from where he was. Marcus' presence was so cold and overwhelming that Declan trembled with fear, not daring to get any closer.

Taylor gave him a firm shove. "Go on, Declan! That's Marcus Holden, Natalie's husband."

Declan worked for Goodwill Pharmacy. He could handle most injuries, but if it came to major surgery, they would have to send patients over to Dithoria State.

Originally, Maverick only had a few broken ribs. A quick wrap-up here, followed by a surgery in town would have been enough. But based on those agonizing howls, Declan suspected that the nearby town's facilities would not be enough to save him now.

"You're the doctor here?" Marcus finally turned to face him, his stare sharp enough to cut.

Declan nodded frantically. "Yes, Marcus. Hello, Marcus!"

"Then, get over here and do your job," Marcus said as he sat down at a nearby chair. "Wake him up."

"Yes, Marcus." Declan rushed over.

After a quick examination, he gasped. Maverick's thigh bone had been shattered. If he did not get hospital care soon, he would probably be limping for the rest of his life.

Even so, Declan did not dare say anything—not even a word. He quietly got to work and finally managed to wake Maverick up.

"Dr. Woods, please get me into surgery! I'm not staying here!" Maverick panicked the moment he opened his eyes and saw Declan.

Declan said awkwardly, "Maverick, if you want out, you'll need permission. Natalie's still here, and you just led an attack on her and her team. Do you really think she's going to let you walk out for treatment?"

Taylor stepped forward, adding to Declan's words, "Besides, Marcus is in charge now. Whatever you need, you'll have to ask him."

At that, Maverick instinctively turned toward Marcus, still sitting in the chair. However, the second he laid eyes on him, he shrieked like a madman.

"Shut up." Marcus' voice sliced through the room like a blade. He stood, then walked to the crushed bed and stared down at the miserable wreck that was Maverick.

He added, "Ashford Vale is getting a new name."
