Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 642

The manor had never been as lively as it was that night. Cameron and Benjamin had caught wind of some news and rushed over, insisting on seeing Nathan.

Dominick and Ford were kept on their toes, dealing with these unwelcome visitors.

“Sorry, but our master doesn’t entertain guests here. Please, see yourselves out,” Dominick said, practically gritting his teeth.

Benjamin jumped up, “We know Nathan doesn’t usually see visitors, that’s why we don’t bother him. But tonight’s different. My grandfather, who is Nathan’s grandfather too, is suddenly very ill. He wants to see his beloved grandson. It’s a fair request, and if Nathan refuses, it’d be downright heartless.”

Dominick could see right through their intentions—they were here to cause trouble. His anger was visible, his eyes blazing.

“The master has his rules. If you want to see him, come back tomorrow.”

Cameron tugged on Benjamin’s arm, “Benjamin, let’s play by their rules. If Nathan doesn’t see visitors now, we’ll wait till morning.” They were hell-bent on seeing Nathan.

Dominick was boiling with frustration.

Just as one problem seemed to settle, another arose.

Greta wheeled Miranda from the backyard to the front, insisting on seeing Nathalie.

“Nathalie, my mom’s getting old and isn’t comfortable with the bedding you gave her. How can you, as her daughter, not care for her? Treating your elders so harshly—you’re not worried about karma?”

Lizzy came out with a basin of water and dumped it right over Greta’s head.

“Greta, you ungrateful wretch! My sister must’ve been out of her mind to take you in.”

On the bed, Nathan’s once vibrant, handsome face was marred with dark, branching lines. His skin was no longer whole, but he still had a faint breath left in him. He weakly confessed to Nathalie, “Yes, it was her.”

Nathalie’s swollen eyes flared with a fierce hatred. “I’ll make her pay.”

Nathan implored, “Sister, don’t do anything reckless.”

Nathalie lay against Nathan’s chest, sobbing uncontrollably. “It’s all my fault. I was too soft-hearted with her and her mother. I gave them the chance to hurt you.”

Nathan mustered the strength to lift his hand, gently touching Nathalie’s hair. “Don’t be sad. Listen, I came into this world to protect you. Now, you’ve got to be strong.”

“You’re the heiress of the Stewart family, smart and business-savvy. I’ve put together all the Stewart family’s business secrets. You need to pull yourself together and internalize them. With your talent, you’re bound to succeed. Depending on others isn’t as good as relying on yourself. You’ve got to become the most powerful woman in the Capital.”
