Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 190

The production team seized the moment to stir the pot. "You're allowed one phone call for some outside help. You can have someone bring supplies up here for you," the director suggested, a mischievous grin spreading across his face as he finished.

The first guest picked up his phone with a weary expression and said to the camera, "I want to call my dad. After my parents divorced, he left. I've never asked him for anything. He missed every big moment in my life. I just want to know if I still matter to him at all."

When the call connected, a deep, familiar voice answered, “Who’s this?”

Nathan’s face fell as he recognized the voice. He stared at the young man with a dark gaze.

“Dad, it’s me.”

There was a heavy silence. Then, with a hint of irritation, the voice replied, “What do you want?”

“I’m on a show…”

“You’ve got the wrong number.”

Before the young man could say more, the call ended abruptly. He stared at the phone, his eyes welling up.

The room grew tense, so the director quickly jumped in. “The signal’s a bit spotty up here. Want to try someone else?”

He shook his head. “Nah, it’s alright. I’ll just hang out here tonight. It’s kinda nice.”

Everyone realized he was the family’s forgotten one, hidden in the background. They felt for him, but no one dared to state the obvious.

Next, it was Cameron’s turn. He decided to ring his wife. “Greta, I’m up in the mountains, and it’s a bit chilly…”

Greta instantly replied, “I’ll have my assistant send you some warm clothes right away.”

Cameron was pleased with her prompt response.
