Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 190

The production team seized the moment to stir the pot. "You're allowed one phone call for some outside help. You can have someone bring supplies up here for you," the director suggested, a mischievous grin spreading across his face as he finished.

The first guest picked up his phone with a weary expression and said to the camera, "I want to call my dad. After my parents divorced, he left. I've never asked him for anything. He missed every big moment in my life. I just want to know if I still matter to him at all."

When the call connected, a deep, familiar voice answered, “Who’s this?”

Nathan’s face fell as he recognized the voice. He stared at the young man with a dark gaze.

“Dad, it’s me.”

There was a heavy silence. Then, with a hint of irritation, the voice replied, “What do you want?”

“I’m on a show…”

“You’ve got the wrong number.”

Before the young man could say more, the call ended abruptly. He stared at the phone, his eyes welling up.

The room grew tense, so the director quickly jumped in. “The signal’s a bit spotty up here. Want to try someone else?”

He shook his head. “Nah, it’s alright. I’ll just hang out here tonight. It’s kinda nice.”

Everyone realized he was the family’s forgotten one, hidden in the background. They felt for him, but no one dared to state the obvious.

Next, it was Cameron’s turn. He decided to ring his wife. “Greta, I’m up in the mountains, and it’s a bit chilly…”

Greta instantly replied, “I’ll have my assistant send you some warm clothes right away.”

Cameron was pleased with her prompt response.

Now, when she interacted with him, her gaze was cold, and her words were sharp. It was clear her affections had shifted to someone else.

Cameron felt a pang of regret. But what really got to him was Nathan’s overly sweet voice. The guy who was always ready to argue with him was like a different person with Nathalie.

Nathan even playfully asked her, “Hey, what are you up to?”

Nathalie’s care was automatic. “Oh, just making some snacks for my friend at home.”

“I’m jealous of Lizzy.”

“I made some for you, too.”

Nathan grinned. “Save me some. I’ll have them when I get back from work.”
