Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 330

Natalie was totally baffled. Since when did she have such a great boyfriend?

"Where’d he go then?"

"He stayed by your side all night and just took off a bit ago."

Instantly, Natalie thought of Cameron, the one guy who made her life feel like a mess.

"He's awful to me." Her eyes flared with anger. She wanted to ruin his reputation and expose his fake nice-guy act. "He locks me up, kidnaps me, and starves me? He’s a monster."

The nurse was flabbergasted. "What? But... he doesn’t seem like that kind of person at all."

"Looks can be deceiving," Natalie snapped back. "Don't be fooled by his nice-guy act. His action wasn’t out of kindness. He’s a total hypocrite, a real monster..."

Nathan, carrying a steaming container of food, had just reached the door when he overheard Natalie badmouthing "him." His face went from pale to flushed in an instant.

He remembered how he’d seen her yesterday, with her ghostly face and sad eyes. It stirred up all his feelings, leading him to kiss her fiercely.

The kiss was meant to teach her a lesson. Did he really come across as such a jerk to her?

The nurse noticed Nathan and awkwardly slipped away. "I’ll leave you two to chat. I’ve got other patients to tend to."

Nathan walked up to Natalie with a serious expression, setting the food container on the bedside table, and stared at her nervously.

"Am I a monster? A hypocrite?" he asked, sounding genuinely hurt. "If it weren’t for me, this so-called 'hypocrite monster,' you might not be here."

Natalie was confused. "Nathan, what are you talking about?"

Then it hit her. "Oh, was it you who saved me yesterday?"

Nathan was shocked. So, she wasn’t talking about him?

Natalie was taken aback. Why was Nathan, who’d once opposed her for Ashley’s sake, now acting so friendly?

Nathan suddenly looked up and asked her, "Aren’t you glad Kristina’s back?"

After thinking it over and recalling how Kristina’s return had nearly made Cameron explode from anger, Natalie realized Nathan's real intention wasn’t what it seemed. She broke into a grin. "I’m over the moon."

Nathan’s face, however, turned cloudy. "I’m having second thoughts now."

"Why?" Natalie asked, puzzled.

"If I’d known this would be a Pyrrhic victory, I wouldn’t have let her free."

Natalie was thrilled, though. "Nathan, a little hardship is worth it. You have no idea how Kristina’s return has driven Cameron up the wall."

Nathan shook his head a bit helplessly. "But then he just took it out on you."
