With no antidote in sight, she chose the path of self-harm.
"Nathalie," Morris called out, struggling out of his wheelchair, stumbling as he rushed to her side, and they both ended up tumbling to the floor.
"Nathalie, you can't do this to yourself." Through her tears, Nathalie warned, "Nathan, if you can't givean answer, then just go all the way and break my heart." She pushed him aside and slammed her head against the table leg, blood immediately oozing from her forehead. "Nathalie, stop it." "I won't let you hurt yourself."

"Was it Mick and Colby? Wasn't it, Nathalie?" He kissed her forehead gently. "Don't worry. I'll make sure they pay for what they did tonight." In the early hours, Morris dressed Nathalie and erased all traces of their wild night before calling Lizzy.
"Take Nathalie back to her room. If let she asks tomorrow, cup with a excuse. Make sure she t know she stayed here." Since pledging her loyalty, Lizzy followed Morris's every command without question.
