The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 651

Nathalie looked at Lance, his face half-wrapped in white bandages. Her lips moved, a wave of bitterness flooding her chest. She wasn't worried about being unable to leave him—in the face of life and death, everything else was trivial. She was just indignant. Why could she no longer speak? Why was Lance permanently blind? They did nothing wrong, yet the perpetrators were still at large. She unconsciously clenched her fists.

Lance sensed her shifting mood. "Nathalie?"

He couldn't see her expression, didn't know what she was thinking. Was she sad? Upset?

Soon, her hand slipped from his grasp. Lance's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively curled his fingers, trying to hold onto the lingering warmth of her skin.

Then, a cold, robotic female voice rang out from her phone app. "We will recover. We won't let those who hurt us get away with it."

Even without emotional inflection in the AI voice, Lance could picture her face. Her eyes must be blazing with fury. She wasn't sad or depressed, nor was she angry about being stuck with him. Lance's anxiety eased. He nodded. "Yeah, we'll get better."

Aaron looked into Elara Lane's background through Neely. She was still working with international rescue teams, carrying on her parents' legacy. Aaron looked at Lance in the hospital bed, hesitating. "I can't track her down right now, Boss. Should we contact Mr. and Mrs. Adams? They are still with the rescue teams; they might know where Ms. Lane is."

Since Madonna left, there had been no word. Leda had been living in an overseas estate, practically imprisoned, her health declining by the day. But right now, Lance needed his parents' help.

Silence filled the room. Finally, Lance nodded. Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and left to contact Madonna. If anyone could be reached, it was Madonna and Mr. Adams. Ever since Jackson passed away, Carl hadn't returned, though Madonna occasionally visited.

Aaron emailed Madonna, and she surprisingly called him right back.
