The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 709

“Madonna, are you alright?” Elara immediately dropped her playful demeanor, her face showing genuine concern.

Madonna sighed heavily. “I thought I had prepared myself mentally, but seeing Jasper so young, knowing he has to endure this kind of pain and live in the shadow of this trauma for the rest of his life… I just couldn’t hold it back.”

Her voice broke as she choked back a sob. “He’s so little… He’s Jackson’s only child. How

could Felice be so evil…”

Elara quickly pulled out some tissues and handed them to her. “Madonna, please don’t lose hope. Medical science is advancing every day. The little guy will definitely get the treatment he needs.”

Hearing this, Madonna grabbed Elara’s hand, looking at her with desperate, pleading eyes. “Ellie, could you take a look at him? Just see if there’s any chance of recovery. He’s only three years old. His life has barely begun. He can’t spend the rest of his life stuck in a wheelchair.”

Elara nodded firmly. “Of course, I’ll examine him. But you have to take care of your own health too.”

Madonna wiped her tears dry and looked toward the living room. Seeing Jasper sitting happily in Lance’s lap, his bright eyes glued to Nathalie, a complex expression crossed her

face.

In the past, because of Felice, Nathalie had always been incredibly distant and cold toward Jasper. But perhaps seeing how pitiful the child truly was had softened even her hardened

heart.

She was no longer rejecting the little boy’s affection.

Madonna gathered herself and walked back into the living room.

“Let Ellie examine Jasper,” she suggested to Lance.

“I’ll have to trouble you, Dr. Lane,” Lance said softly, turning his face in Elara’s direction.

“It’s no trouble,” Elara replied smoothly. “If it’s treatable, you just keep paying me. If I can’t fix it, then there’s nothing I can do.”

She wanted to manage their expectations upfront so they wouldn’t build up false hope.

After all, Jasper had been poisoned for a long time. She had no idea how severely the toxins had destroyed his nervous system, but the difficulty of reversing it would undoubtedly be

immense.

Chapter 708

Madonna sat down next to Jasper. “Jasper, this is Auntie Ellie. She’s the doctor helping Uncle Lance with his eyes. Let her take a look at your legs, okay?”

Jasper stared at Elara with innocent curiosity. “Hello, Auntie Ellie.”

Elara offered a warm smile. “Hi there! You look exactly like your Uncle Lance.”

“Lance and Jackson looked very similar,” Madonna explained. “Jasper takes after his father.“.

Jasper tilted his head, immediately latching onto the word. “What’s a father? Do have a father?”

“Of course.”

Madonna didn’t shy away from the topic. “Jasper’s father was an incredibly wonderful man When you’re older, Grandma will take you to see him.”
