Chapter 977
Her body felt steady, brimming with health.
But that very health sent a chill through Nathalie's heart.
Because if she was healthy, it meant her fate had shifted-and the one who'd made that happen, Nathan, would
now carry her burdens. He'd be the one swallowed by illness and loneliness, in her place.
Pale and unsettled, Nathalie sat frozen for a long tbefore she finally found the nerve to open the email.
She scanned the report: "Everything looks normal. Maintain a balanced diet. Keep an eye on cardiovascular
health."
In that moment, all the energy drained from her. She slumped into her chair, white as a ghost, unable to gather
her thoughts.
Just as she feared-her destiny had changed.
Her hands shook as she grabbed her phone and dialed the clinic. "Hi, I'd like a copy of the medical report for the
gentleman who cto the check-up with me."
There was a long pause before a staff member answered, voice cautious. "I'm sorry, but that's private
information. We can't share it with you."
Nathalie's tone turned cold and firm. "He's my family. | need his report. This is a legitimate request. If you refuse,

She wasn't trying to be difficult, but she could sense something was off. They were hiding something on purpose.
Sure enough, the staff member caved, stammering, "There's an issue with his report. He asked us to keep it
confidential. Ashley, we're just respecting his wishes-please, try to understand."
Nathalie latched onto the key words. "Tellwhat's wrong with his report? You can trust me. | won't get you in
trouble."
"Ashley, please, don't putin a tough spot..."
"He's the person | care about most. | know he's sick, but | need the details if I'm going to help him. It's the right
thing to do, and you know it. Isn't that what being a doctor is all about?"
A moment's hesitation, then finally, the truth: "Ashley, he's been diagnosed with progeria. He probably doesn't
have many years left."
The phone slipped from Nathalie's hand, hitting the floor with a dull thud.

Nathalie felt like she could barely breathe.
But right then, she found her reason to keep fighting: she'd do anything to save Morris.

The tension in the air was thick enough to cut.
But Morris didn't flinch. He just looked up at Jules, calm as ever.
Jules stood there, silent, the weight of the moment pressing down on him.
