Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 654

Nathalie made her way to Lincoln's private hospital room. Standing at the door, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. Then she gave the door a gentle knock.

From inside, a deep yet frail voice called out, “Come in.”

As Nathalie slowly pushed the door open, she caught a glimpse of him through the small opening. There he was, lying on the bed, with eyes deep and intense, though a bit wary.

When he saw Nathalie, his expression turned to one of surprise. “Miss, you must’ve gotten the wrong room. I’ve been sick for over twenty years, and I can’t say I know such a young, beautiful lady like you.” He said this with a warm smile.

Nathalie walked over, pulled up a chair beside his bed, and plopped down. “Take a good look at me. Do I look familiar?”

Lincoln studied her face but shook his head. “I really don’t recognize you. But somehow, you do seem a bit familiar.”

Nathalie was confused. She had been here before and had told him she was his daughter. Was he pretending not to remember, or was he genuinely confused?

Just then, the attending doctor came in, noticing Nathalie’s bewildered look. He offered an explanation, “Ms. Nathalie, during your last visit, Mr. Lincoln was under sedation, which dulled his senses. He wouldn’t have been aware of anything outside himself.”

“Oh, that explains it!” Nathalie felt a sense of relief. She reintroduced herself, “Mr. Lincoln, my name is Nathalie...”

Suddenly, Lincoln grabbed her hand, excitement in his eyes. “You said you’ve visited before?”

Nathalie nodded, a bit startled by his reaction.

“Then you must know me, right?”
