The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698

“Why not?”

Chapter 698

Madonna looked completely baffled.

Lance leaned back against the headboard, his face a perfect mask of indifference. “I’m used to living at Lumina Grand.”

Madonna scowled at him, but eventually let out a defeated sigh. “Fine. If you won’t come home, then I’ll just move into Lumina Grand with you. Lance, I won’t be able to sleep at night unless I’m keeping an eye on you.” “Okay.”

Lance didn’t argue.

He turned his head toward the doorway and asked, “Where’s Nathalie?”

Madonna’s voice immediately turned to ice. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen

her.”

Elara caught the subtle shift in Madonna’s demeanor, her curiosity peaking.

It seemed like Madonna really didn’t like Nathalie, did she?

But why?

Elara turned her attention back to her acupuncture kit. “Alright, let’s get started. From today on, we’re doing this twice a day. One session to flush the toxins, and one to repair the nerve pathways.”

Lance nodded his consent.

Madonna watched Elara work, her eyes softening with genuine. admiration. “Ellie, you’re really becoming a master at this.”

Elara blushed, smiling sheepishly. “My parents passed down everything they knew. I can’t let their legacy go to waste.”

Madonna sighed wistfully. “Sometimes I truly envy your parents. They were blessed with such an obedient, devoted daughter.”

Lance chimed in without missing a beat. “Mom, you’re still young. You and Dad could just try harder. Who knows, maybe you’ll pop out another one.”

Madonna’s face went crimson with rage. “Lance! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!”

Lance shrugged casually. “Dr. Lane is right here. If your health needs a boost, I’m sure she can whip up a prescription for you.”

Madonna snapped her mouth shut.

This infuriating son of hers lived just to spike her blood pressure!

Elara practically tried to melt into the floorboards, desperately trying to erase her own presence. Even she wasn’t dense enough to miss the explosive tension between mother and son.

The dynamic in this family was beyond bizarre.

Nathalie was outside typing out a message to her great-grandmother.

The crisp evening breeze swept through the hospital’s private courtyard, carrying a slight chill. She kept her eyes glued to her screen; lost in a

daze.

They were heading back to Cabinda soon.

How was she going to break the news to the old woman that she couldn’t speak?

Once she admitted that, the rest of the secrets would spill out like a

cracked dam.

Her great-grandmother was already so old. Was it really fair to burden her with this kind of terror and heartbreak?

Chapter 698

Nathalie couldn’t stomach the thought.

She let out a heavy breath, looking up at the twilight sky.
