The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 302

As soon as he opened his eyes, Madonna’s face broke into a wide, relieved smile.

“Oh god, Lance… You seriously scared me half to death, do you know that?” Her voice wavered as tears welled up. “How could you do something so reckless? Don’t you care about your own safety at all? What if something had happened to you? Did you even stop to think that ‘d want to follow you if anything went wrong?”

She buried her face in his chest, sobbing so hard she could barely catch her breath. Her tears came from real, bone–deep fear.

Lance’s mind was still foggy. He was only half awake, but he could already feel someone gripping his hand tightly. He hated being handled, so he instinctively pulled his hand away, taking back control of his own body.

Hearing Madonna’s desperate voice, Lance suddenly felt all the strength eave him. His hand slipped open, and a pen tumbled to the floor, the sharp sound echoing in the quiet room.

‘I’m fine, Mom…” His eyes slid shut again, every word a struggle.

Madonna, after letting her panic out, finally managed to steady herself. Her tone softened, but her eyes were still full of worry. “Those people weren’t coming for you. This has nothing to do with you, Lance. You can’t risk yourself like that. Please, just divorce Nathalie. You can’t let anything happen to you.”

But Lance shook his head, his voice low and fading. “Let Aaron in.”

He’d only just forced himself awake, and now everything was starting to blur again.

Madonna frowned, deeply worried. “Lance, did you hear what I said?”

He didn’t answer her directly. “Get Aaron… Company matters…” His words tumbled out, weaker with every breath.

Realizing how urgent things were, Madonna rushed to get Aaron.

Aaron hurried in, immediately crouching by Lance’s side, all attention on his boss’s quiet instructions.

Before long, Lance was out again.

Madonna’s nerves were frayed. “What did he say to you?”

Aaron kept his voice calm and respectful. “He just left instructions about the company. Madonna, Lance really needs to rest right now. Can I ask you to step outside for a bit?”

Madonna’s thoughts flashed to the divorce agreement, her expression darkening. “Prepare another divorce agreement, please.”

‘Of course.”

They walked out of the ICU together.

Nathalie was waiting in the hallway. She looked at Aaron, her voice edged with tension. “How is he?”

Aaron gave her a quick look. “If you really care, why not go in and see for yourself?”

Nathalie’s silence stretched between them.

Aaron seemed to realize the weight of it and added, “You know it was because of you that he got hurt, right? After eight years together… could you really just walk away without even checking on him?”

The accusation stung as if he’d called her heartless right there.

Frustrated, Nathalie glared back at Aaron, but she couldn’t find the words for an argument.

Noticing the tension, Aaron pressed his lips together, then hurried away

without another word.

Madonna gave Nathalie a long, conflicted look. Her heart ached with confusion. Now that panic had settled, she finally understood why Lance had jolted awake, why he was so insistent. He didn’t want to sign those papers. He was still hung up on Nathalie, wasn’t he? But if that was true… why did he treat Felice so well? Madonna just couldn’t make sense of it, and a heavy sadness settled in her chest.
