Reborn From Oblivion

Lizzy, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Nathalie, let me take you somewhere. It'll all make sense."

Nathalie hesitated. She had lived two lifetimes and never felt the warmth of parental love. She grew up cautiously and always on the defensive and knew loneliness all too well. Believing anyone could genuinely care for her seemed impossible. But this message came from Lizzy-sweet, honest Lizzy, who never lied. "Nathalie, please, let's go," Lizzy pleaded.

Nathalie shot a final sharp glance at Cameron and Greta. She let go of her hatred, allowing Lizzy to lead her away.

Greta watched Nathalie's silhouette fade, suddenly envious. Nathalie had Lizzy, a loyal friend who would cry for her pain. Not to mention, there was some mysterious man who loved Nathalie more than life itself. What made Nathalie worthy of such selfless love? Greta's thoughts were all jumbled up with jealousy. She turned to Cameron, her heartache surpassing any physical pain. "Did you hear that? Nathalie's got people who love her. Don't expect her to come running back to you."

Cameron snapped back to reality, his emotions a tangled mess. "I never planned on getting back with her. I don't love her. I never did, and I never will. It's all in your head."

Greta was taken aback. "If you don't love her, why'd you stand by when she hit me?"

Cameron gave her a cold stare. "I don't love her, but I owe her. Besides, what's happening to you today is just karma."

Greta, who'd always been the

spoiled center of attention, couldn't swallow this humiliation. She angrily bit her lip. "I haven't done anything wrong. I'm calling the cops. I've

sinned, let the law decide."

She picked up her phone to dial 911, but Cameron lunged forward, knocking it from her hand. "You've owed her plenty. Today, she hurt you; consider it payback. Let her vent."

Greta looked at Cameron, shocked. The man who once adored her was now so resolute. "Cameron, why?"

"Because you caused the death of our daughter and pushed her to her end. She saved your life," Cameron said, eyes filled with a sorrow that cut deep.

Greta broke down, sobbing. "I've paid my dues. Cameron, don't forget, she made me lose my child, too. She took what was rightfully mine from the Brown family estate. I'm the victim here." Greta lost control and began to beg. "Please, I'm begging you, let me be."

Her forehead, already marred with scars and now covered in blood, made her look wild, almost like a ghost.

This made Cameron's heart soften,

bit by bit. He moved closer, wrapping her in a tight embrace. His voice was gentle once more. "Greta, just this once, let's not hold it against her. Consider it repaying a debt. I promise I'll never let her hurt you again."

Greta fainted in Cameron's arms.

Cameron rushed her to the hospital, where the doctor tended to her wounds and offered advice. "Mrs. Dawson's injuries are only skin deep. They're not enough to cause her to faint. We recommend a full checkup for her." novelbin
