“We’ll be counting on you from now on,” Lance said.

Elara waved her hand dismissively. “If it can be treated, I’ll give it everything I have. If it can’t, then there’s nothing I can do. But don’t lose hope. Medical technology is advancing incredibly fast. In ten years or so, there might be a way to cure him.”

“Mhm.”

The living room fell into a heavy silence.

Unable to stand the stifling atmosphere, Elara stretched and waved. “I’m a bit tired. I’m going to go rest for a bit. Call me when dinner is ready.”

“Nat.”

Lance strained his ears, tilting his head slightly to pinpoint Nathalie’s location. He hadn’t heard a sound from her for a while, and an inexplicable surge of panic gripped his chest.

Just then, the soft padding of footsteps approached. A gentle breeze carrying her unique, faint perfume drifted over to him.

The staff had quietly excused themselves, leaving the two of them entirely alone in the massive living room.

Being back in this familiar place, surrounded by everything she knew, should have brought comfort, but Nathalie felt absolutely zero peace.

Before leaving Cabinda, she had treated the trip like a relaxing getaway, intending to come back refreshed and ready to face the Winter family. She never anticipated stumbling into such a massive crisis.

She had been caught completely off guard.

“Great-Grandma!”

Suddenly, Jasper’s excited, childish voice rang out from the front

entrance.

A few seconds later, an affectionate, aged voice replied, “It’s freezing out here! Why are you outside, Jasper? Your little face is like ice. Come on, let’s go inside.”

Nathalie’s pupils violently contracted. Her face instantly went pale with sheer panic!

It was Adelaide’s voice!

She had come back!

There was absolutely no time to react. Moments later, the old lady rolled into the living room in her wheelchair.
