When Nathalie woke up, she realized she was lying on the sofa. Startled, she turned her head and saw Lance sitting in a chair by the hospital bed, casually scrolling through his phone.

She sat up, a frown on her face. “Did you stay awake all night?”

Lance looked over, a soft, teasing glint in his dark eyes. “Are you worried about me, Nathalie?”

Nathalie was speechless.

Talking to him was always a waste of breath.

She walked into the bathroom to wash up. When she came back out, she carried a basin of warm water with a towel draped over the edge. Carefully, she wiped her grandmother’s face and hands.

The old woman was still trapped in her coma, her complexion pale and sickly. Watching her, Nathalie felt an agonizing squeeze in her chest.

When the doctor came in for rounds, his expression was heavy. Breaking down the poison’s composition took time, and even though specialists had been called in for a consultation, the results wouldn’t be ready immediately.

Standing off to the side, Nathalie’s eyes brimmed with overwhelming anxiety.

Once the medical team left, she turned to Lance. “When are we going to hear anything about Felice?”

“I’m not sure,” Lance replied deeply.

Nathalie’s face drained of color.

Her eyes instantly lit up. “What is it?”

“Eat your breakfast first,” Lance instructed. “I’ll tell you when you’re done.”

Nathalie frowned. “At a time like this, can you please not keep me in suspense?”

“I’m just afraid you’ll lose your appetite once I tell you,” Lance replied smoothly.

Nathalie hated the delay, but since he had made up his mind, she knew she couldn’t change it.

Breakfast was brought in. She genuinely had no appetite, but forcing herself to keep her strength up, she managed half a bowl of porridge and a hard-boiled egg.

She looked at him. “Can you tell me now?”

Lance was still working on a steamed bun. He raised an eyebrow. “I’m not finished yet.”

Nathalie glared at him.

She forced herself to sit patiently and wait, the anxiety in her eyes burning brighter by the second.

Just as her patience was about to snap completely, Lance finally finished his food. He looked at her, a hint of helplessness in his dark eyes.
