Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 312

Nathalie flashed a gentle smile. "Mr. Mason, you're overthinking this. All good things come to an end. Whatever brief moments Mr. Nathan and I shared weren't enough to make him long for me."

Mason let out a sigh of relief. "I hope that's just my imagination running wild."

He eyed Nathalie with a hint of curiosity. "Is there anything you're still wishing for? If there's something I can do to help, just say the word."

Nathalie's eyes gleamed with determination. "Thank you. I can handle my business myself."

Mason paused, recognizing her stubborn streak.

"Alright then."

After a quick chat with Ashley about Nathan's care instructions, Nathalie left the hospital without a backward glance.

Mason was satisfied with how things were shaping up. He advised Ashley, "You need to use this time while Nathan's under the weather to get close to him. He might seem like a tough nut to crack, but he's got a warm heart underneath that armor. He'll surely be moved by your efforts. You're one of the few in the city with both brains and beauty. Give it some time, and Nathan will definitely fall for you."

Ashley was brimming with confidence. "Don't worry, Mason. I'll win Nathan over."

Mason walked away with a smile.

Now, only Ashley and Nathan were in the spacious hospital room. Nathan was out like a light, probably because of the meds. Ashley sat by his bedside, resting her chin on her hand, soaking in Nathan's stunning features. She thought to herself, ‘He has such a cute face. Using a bit of trickery against Nathalie was totally worth it.’

"Nathan, you're so good. Only someone like me deserves you," she whispered to herself.

"Now that she's gone, you'll see how great I am. I know you'll fall for me. I'm just as good as she is," Ashley said confidently.

But she didn't see the twist coming.

That wasn't like her at all. He knew that Nathalie was always someone who kept others informed.

Ashley added, "She said she had some unfinished business."

Nathan partly believed her. With Nathalie gone, Nathan felt a wave of gloom.

Ashley noticed his mood and tried to cheer him up. "Nathan, are you upset about Nathalie leaving without a word?"

Nathan looked at her, baffled as to why she thought he'd be angry at Nathalie. She was so wonderful; he probably couldn't be mad at her for anything.

"I'm just worried about her."
