Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 976

After Almos left, Nathalie felt like she was stuck in a dream she couldn’t wake up from—her heart and mind floating somewhere far away. Day after day, she shut herself in her room, barely seeing a soul.

She ignored the news of Morris leaving, turned a deaf ear to Cameron and Greta’s repeated knocks at the door, and let her phone gather dust.

Lincoln, worried sick about his daughter, took to cooking her favorite meals three times a day—perfectly roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, apple pie fresh from the oven—bringing each dish to her door and trying to coax her out. “Sweetheart, come on, try a little. Everything’s just how you like it.”

“I can’t, Dad. I just… can’t eat.” Nathalie’s voice was flat, her whole energy drained.

“Just a bite for me? Please?” Lincoln’s voice was gentle, hopeful.

She looked up at him, and in that moment, all she saw was the deep worry etched into his face. Of course she knew he cared—how could she not? But his kindness only made her feel worse, a wave of guilt and shame crashing over her. Suddenly, she broke down, burying her face in her arms and sobbing at the table.

“Vivian, honey, what’s wrong?” Lincoln rushed to her side, leaving the food forgotten as he tried to comfort her.

“My girl, Lizzy said you tried hypnosis. Wasn’t it supposed to help you rest and feel better? Why are you more upset now?”

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Nathalie lifted her head. “Dad, tell me honestly—why did Nathan leave Stewart Estate?”

Lincoln hesitated, swallowing hard, afraid of making things worse. “Vivian, really, it had nothing to do with me. I didn’t want him to go either, but… I couldn’t stop him.”

Her eyes were red and fierce. “But why did he go? Did he ever tell you?”

Lincoln saw her crumple and gave in. “Okay, okay. I’ll talk to him, see if I can bring him back.”

Nathalie nodded quietly.

After Lincoln left, an email popped up on her laptop. It was her medical report from last week. She opened the message but didn’t click on the results. Instead, she just sat there, lost in thought.

But this time, she’d done everything differently. She’d divorced Cameron, ended the pregnancy, left the country, and found Nathan. That’s when her life finally started to turn around.
