Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 561

"They were madly in love for quite a while. Your mom, once she had her heart set on someone, took it seriously. She was all in, heart and soul. But over time, she lost both her heart and, eventually, herself."

"She ended up pregnant by accident. When your mom talked to your dad about getting married... he just clammed up, saying he had to check with his parents first, and turned her down."

"Your mom waited and waited, but your dad vanished as if into thin air. He never came back, and her belly just kept growing. Eventually, word got out among her friends, and the news spread like wildfire. Your mom, unable to handle the gossip, reached out to the Stewart family..."

When Miranda brought up the Stewart family, her eyes brimmed with anger.

"I don't know what they said to her, but after visiting them, she was a shadow of her former self. We were worried she might do something drastic, but she didn't. She kept going with her studies until the day you were born."

"She gave birth in a bathroom, shocking everyone at school. No one thought she could do something even more shocking—she sat outside your dad's dorm and set herself on fire."

Nathalie went pale, nearly collapsing, but Nathan quickly caught her.

Nathalie fell into Nathan's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Nathan soothed her, "This isn't on you. If anyone's to blame, it's that jerk from the Stewart family."

Miranda sighed deeply, "After your mom's death, she became a massive news story. The whole nation was hunting for 'your dad.' In the chaos, your dad did everything to avoid you, even denying he ever dated your mom. The Stewart family, with all their power, even paid people to lie for him."

Nathalie hadn't realized just how tragic her birth mom's story was.
