The next time the board meets, it's going to be to discuss something about Nemo, not to discuss Nemo's health. Nemo is sick, but he's not dying. He's just "stuffing inside" , as the narrator puts it. The narrator wonders if there's a link between Nemo and the current baby, and if Nemo is dying, or even sick, or injured, or dead. Nemo says he'll be meeting with Coralie later that afternoon.
