Chapter 703
The man's naturally fair skin had turned ghostly white. He lifted his head suddenly, trying to keep his cool, but his handsome face looked like it had been shot through with holes. He was barely holding it together as he asked, "How's she doing now?"
The officer let out a breath. "No. 13, do you know her?"
"How is she?" he demanded, his teeth clenched, trying not to let his emotions run wild.
"Her injuries aren't too bad, but the doctor said her will to live is really weak. If she pulls through, it's gonna be up to her."
"Weak will to live? What do you mean?"
"After her fiancé was murdered, her mental state really took a dive. She saw a therapist, had some breakdowns at work, and now this... she probably felt like she just couldn't keep going."
His handsome features looked like they were about to crack.
Couldn't keep going?noveldrama
She couldn't keep going?
This wasn't supposed to happen.
He looked up at the officer. "Why are you telling me all this?"
"You know, we really admire your skills. If you're willing to use them for the
country, we can make some concessions."
"I want to see her."
The officer was taken aback by the sudden change.
"So you do know Ashley?"
No. 13 replied, "Set it up quickly. If she doesn't make it, you can forget about getting anything from me."
"Okay, okay. I'll get right on it."
At the hospital, Nathalie slowly came to.
She was greeted by her father's tired, pained face.
"Vivian, you're all I've got. How could you leave me?"
Nathalie's tears fell like rain.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I just can't see any light ahead."
Lincoln held her hand tightly. "I'll help you find it. We'll find it together."
Nathalie apologized, "I went to the McCoy family and failed my mission."
Lincoln reassured, "It's alright.
Dominick and I handled it. Even if we do nothing else, we're on equak ground with the main branch
Nathalie sighed with relief.
"They got off easy."
Lincoln said, "If I have to choose between the company and my daughter, I just want you to be healthy."
Lizzy quietly walked in and said to Nathalie, "Sis, Officer Ashburn is here again." Nathalie was surprised, "Let her in."
Officer Ashburn walked in confidently, cutting to the chase, "Ashley, No. 13 wants to see you."
Nathalie showed little interest, "Sorry, I've changed my mind. I don't need to see him anymore."
Officer Ashburn was taken aback.
"Weren't you looking for his advice on AI? He's a real pioneer in the field."
Nathalie replied, "Someone else has already answered my questions."
Officer Ashburn felt disappointed,, "You two are really in sync. When you wanted to see him, he

Now he wants to see you, but you won't."
Lincoln stepped in to see her out,
"Officer Ashburn, my daughter needs

don't disturb her."
Officer Ashburn nodded understandingly and left.
At the door, she turned back silently.
Nathalie's empty eyes were etched into her memory.
She took out her phone and discreetly snapped a photo.
Capturing Nathalie's forlorn and exhausted look.
Back at the prison, Officer Ashburn sent the photo to her colleague.
Her colleague eagerly took the photo to find No. 13.
