Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 56

Who could have imagined the truth would be so heartless?

He faked love, faked a marriage, all for her kidney. He even swallowed his disgust to consummate their relationship, just to keep her happy and unsuspecting enough to sign the surgery consent form. But then, she got pregnant.

What happened next?

Nellie's mind wandered back through the years. For her child, she pleaded with him to call off the surgery or at least delay it. But his face was colder than ever. He took a drag from his cigarette, let out a ring of smoke, and said without a hint of emotion, “Nellie, Greta's waited long enough for this. I won’t make her wait any longer. Every day she waits, she suffers more.”

“But I’m carrying your child. If something happens to me now, the baby could be in danger.”

“We can end this pregnancy and have another child later.”

“Honey, please... This is our child. I don’t want to lose them.”

“If you want to keep it, then keep it.”

She thought he had finally softened, sparing their child. But then what?

Even now, in this new life, she remembers that bone-chilling cold so vividly. So, this time around, she decided to give up on her child’s life early. If her daughter was born into this family, she'd find no happiness.

Nellie pulled her clothes tighter, hoping to find some warmth. Nathan noticed and, without a word, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Cameron frowned, “The heating’s cranked up in here. You’re not cold. Why are you wearing his coat? Take it off.”

Nathan suddenly tightened his fist and swung it, landing a punch on Cameron’s face. Cameron staggered back, refusing to back down, and lunged at Nathan with his fists ready.
