Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 83

"Who's going to pay back the medical loan?" Nellie asked, raising an eyebrow with a hint of challenge in her voice.

Miranda shrugged as if it were obvious. "Well, you're my daughter, so naturally, it's your job to pay back the money I borrowed, right?"

Nellie couldn't hold back her frustration. "It's not like I'm your only daughter, you know!"

Miranda shot back, her anger flaring. "Why are you so petty? I haven't supported your sister at all, so how could I ask her for money? Besides, your sister's health isn't great—she needs way more financial help than most. What's wrong with you helping her out a bit?"

Nellie's hands shook with anger. "You..."

Nathan gently placed his long, graceful fingers on Nellie's shoulder, calming her with silent reassurance. Nellie turned to him, her smile grateful but tinged with bitterness.

"Nellie, you're too worked up right now. Let me handle this for you," Nathan suggested softly.

Nellie realized that she was too emotional to deal with Miranda. She stepped back, giving Nathan the space to step forward and shield her.

His expression was as cold and unyielding as ice as he fixed his gaze on Miranda. "I can lend you the money, but you'll have to sign an agreement to cut ties with her," he stated plainly.

The weight of his words hit Miranda hard, leaving her momentarily speechless. After a pause, she scoffed. "I raised her, and now you want her to cut me off? Who's supposed to take care of me when I'm old? I was counting on her to look after me."

"Nellie's always been the caring one. Her sister doesn't have her knack for looking after people." Miranda's face softened as she remembered Nellie's tender care during her childhood.
