Chapter 416

True to her word, Lance didn’t take another bite. Nathalie watched him for a second before saying, “The doctor will be in shortly for a final check. If everything looks good, you’ll be discharged.”

“Mm.”

The man grunted, already pulling out his phone to check his messages.

As Nathalie packed away their things, her phone rang. It was a call from Leda.

“Hello, Grandma?”

Leda asked, her voice laced with concern. “How is everything?”

Nathalie assured her. “He’s fine now. He’ll be discharged today.”

Leda let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I just had to check in.”

“Don’t worry about us,” Nathalie said softly. “Just make sure you rest and eat well.”

“Oh, don’t fuss over me. I have Opal and Karan here. I’m perfectly fine,” Leda chuckled warmly.

Nathalie agreed and hung up.

“Wait.”

Lance suddenly interrupted.

The doctor looked at him in confusion.

Lance turned his gaze to Nathalie. “Come here.”

Leaning back against the pillows, Lance watched her serious expression, feeling a soft warmth bloom in his chest.

After handling the discharge paperwork, they drove straight back to Lumina Grand.

Nathalie mentioned she wanted to swing by The Observatory first. Lance chimed in, “I’ll come with you. What if something happens to you on the way?”

Nathalie frowned. “I just want to visit Grandma.”

Lance suggested, “Why don’t we just move her in with us? The house here is much bigger

Nathalie went completely silent.

Move her in? What would that look like?

They had already signed the divorce papers. Once this mess was over, they would sever ties completely.

What if her grandmother misunderstood their relationship?

Nathalie looked at him and changed the subject. “Any news today?”

Lance closed his eyes and leaned back. “I just got out of the hospital. How would I know?”
