Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 973

Nathan was so young, so vibrant—how could he just give up his life so easily?

A promise?

What promise?

Something clicked in Nathalie’s mind. She rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered down. Nathan stood there in his white pajamas, still as a statue in the soft morning light.

He looked up and smiled at her, gentle and content, as if he had no regrets.

Tears streamed down Nathalie’s cheeks. She shook her head over and over, her voice cracking. “Nathan, come back! Please, come back!”

But Nathan didn’t budge.

Panicked, she tore down the stairs, chest heaving by the time she reached him. Bent over and gasping for air, she pleaded, “Nathan, your body’s still warm—please, just go back! Do you know how devastated your parents would be if you left like this?”

Still, Nathan said nothing. He simply lifted his hand and drew a circle in the air. Light spun and gathered, slowly forming a shimmering mirror. Nathalie stared as the mirror showed a little boy curled up in a cluttered storage room, blood soaking his white shorts—so much blood, it was clear something awful had happened.

A sleazy man appeared in the scene, holding a twisted toy meant for some sick pleasure. He crept closer, wearing a leering, ugly smile.

“You stubborn brat,” he hissed. “You won’t admit you’re the Rowland family’s only son? Fine. Just look at you, prettier than most girls. If I handed you over to those rich perverts, I’d make a fortune. But first, you’re going to entertain me…”

And with that, the man lunged.

A tiny hand tugged at her sleeve. “Please don’t leave me,” he said, his voice trembling.

He was so small, so painfully thin. But his eyes—black and bright as polished stone—were filled with pure trust, shining brighter than any star.

So, she made a promise. “Don’t worry, little brother. I won’t leave you behind. Until your family finds you, I’ll protect you.”

She had no idea what kind of enemy she was up against. She couldn’t have guessed that the boy she rescued was the heir to a billion-dollar empire.

All she had was a kind heart and a simple wish to save someone. She never imagined that her good deed would bring so much trouble crashing into her own life.
