Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 322

Natalie had set him up in the swankiest VIP suite at the hospital and even lined up a couple of caregivers to look after him. Of course, she wasn't footing the bill.

When Patrick came to, the first person he laid eyes on was Natalie, and a flicker of fear crossed his face. "Where's your mom?" he asked. "And your sister?" He was desperately seeking someone to back him up.

With a sly grin, Natalie replied, "Your precious daughter doesn’t want to deal with you. So she sent me instead."

She poured herself a glass of water and sipped it with an air of elegance.

Parched and tongue-tied, Patrick croaked, "I need water."

Natalie acted as if she hadn’t heard him and carried on, "Do you know why I decided to look after you?"

Patrick realized he was at her mercy and tried a rare moment of flattery. "I know you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Deep down, you're kind and can’t bear to see your old man in trouble."

Natalie laughed so hard she nearly toppled over. When her laughter faded, her expression turned icy, and she leaned in to whisper, "But you’re not my dad. And as a stepfather, you never did a thing for me. So, I owe you nothing."

Patrick turned ghostly pale.

With a wicked smile, Natalie added, "But don't worry, I’ve put you in the best hospital and hired top-notch caregivers. You won’t be suffering."

Patrick looked puzzled.

Natalie continued, "However, your darling daughter will have to foot the bill. Do you think she’ll dip into her savings to cover your treatment?"

Patrick's face fell instantly. Greta was frail, and her career had never really taken off. She relied on the Brown family and Cameron for support. How could she possibly afford his medical expenses?
