Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 407

Nathan's kindness was something she could never truly repay. Even when the Rowland family cast him out, all she could do was stand by, feeling utterly helpless. She loathed her own inability to act.

She owed him a debt as vast as the sky, one she could never hope to repay. All she wanted was to escape from his side. Perhaps if she did, he could cut his losses, and maybe, just maybe, her burden would feel a little lighter.

"Nathan, look after yourself. Don't worry about me," Nathalie said, ending the call. Then, she curled up on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Nathan...

"I'm sorry.

"When you were at your lowest, I couldn't do a thing to help you."

She cried until sheer exhaustion swept her into sleep.

Lizzy quietly stepped out of the room, gazing at the tear-stained sleeping beauty. She gently picked Nathalie up and laid her on the sofa, covering her with a blanket for warmth.

Lizzy went back into her room and dialed her boss' number.

"Sir."

"How is she?" The voice on the other end was raspy, cloaked in a sense of despair and hopelessness.

"She's asleep."

"Is she angry with me?"

"No, she's upset with herself. Upset that she can't help you." Lizzy wiped away the tears clinging to her eyes. "She reached out to Benjamin because she was just trying to save your company. She believes it might be your only hope for a comeback."

Nathan, on the other end, felt his eyes welling up. "Foolish girl."

Lizzy added, "Sir, Nathalie hasn't been eating or sleeping well lately. How much longer are you planning to keep this from her?"

Silence hung between them.
