Chapter 741
“Sorry, I just wanted some water.”
Lance heard footsteps approaching, keeping his head bowed as he spoke.
Nathalie felt a suffocating wave of despair. She walked over, pulled him away, and immediately called the staff to clean up the mess.
They sat on the other side of the room to eat.
Nathalie typed on her phone, “If you want something done, just ring for
the staff.”
Lance stayed silent for a long time before replying, “I just wanted to see if I’ve truly become entirely useless.”
He let out a low, self-deprecating laugh. “Sure enough, have.”
The atmosphere in the dining room grew oppressive, clinging to them like damp, suffocating weather.
Nathalie held her phone, watching his desolate expression, unable to find the right words.
Lance turned his head slightly in her direction. “Let’s eat. I’m hungry.”
Nathalie put down her phone and picked up her silverware to serve him
some food.
Outside the dining room, Elara Lane took in the entire scene. She scoffed and returned to Adelaide’s side, whispering, “He really is a scheming man. Putting on a pitiful act just to win her sympathy.”
Adelaide raised a surprised eyebrow. “You really have a lot of hostility
toward him.”
Elara looked dead serious. “Nathalie has suffered so much, and all that
pain was brought on by him. Whenever I think about it, I can’t bring

myself to give him a single good look.”
Adelaide sighed helplessly and shook her head. “Just keep your complaints behind his back. Don’t say anything reckless to his face-you’re still cashing his paychecks.”
Elara nodded. “Yeah, I know. I’d never pick a fight with my money.”
During his evening therapy session, Elara adjusted the treatment plan. Lance felt a sharp sting.
His expression darkened. “I suspect you’re trying to assassinate me.”
Elara’s mouth twitched. “Even if I wanted to kill you, it wouldn’t be an assassination. This is broad daylight.”
Lance immediately called out, “Nathalie, she’s trying to kill me.”
Elara was deeply annoyed. “Enough. You call for her all day long. Anyone would think you couldn’t survive a single minute without her.”
Lance replied flatly, “That is entirely accurate.
Elara was speechless.
Why did she even bother talking to him? What was she supposed to do with such a shameless jerk?
Nathalie typed on her phone, “Why does he feel pain?”
Elara patiently explained, “He had nerve pain before. I researched some older medical texts and adjusted the stimulation method. We’re testing it out to see if it stops the pain.”
Nathalie nodded in understanding.
When the session ended, Elara asked, “Does it still hurt?”
Lance focused for a moment before answering, “Because Nathalie is right beside me, it doesn’t hurt.”
