Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 674

Greta had landed in the hospital.

Later that evening, Cameron came home alone, only to be bombarded by Miranda's questions. "Cameron, where's Greta? Why are you back by yourself?"

Miranda's bossy tone was grating on Cameron's nerves.

He gave her a cold stare. "Looks like Nathalie's let you get away with too much, making you think you can talk down to anyone."

Miranda quickly softened her tone after seeing Cameron's stormy demeanor. "Cameron, I'm just really worried about Greta. That's why I sounded a bit frantic."

Cameron replied, his voice chilly, "Kidney failure. She's been admitted."

Miranda's face went an alarming shade of pale. She suddenly broke down, shouting, "How could she end up with that illness again?"

"She already got a healthy kidney from Nathalie! Why is Nathalie okay, but Greta's suffering like this?"

Cameron looked at her calmly, for once sticking up for Nathalie. "When Nathalie had her troubles, you never seemed to care. But when your own daughter gets a headache, you fall apart."

Miranda held Cameron's gaze, his detached expression piercing her heart. "Cameron, Greta's health went downhill because of you. Yet you don't feel a bit of sympathy for her. Cameron, where's your heart?"

Cameron paused, a bit taken aback.

Yeah, back in the day, even a slight cold of Greta's would have him in a panic.

But now, that heartache was gone.

She realized that no matter what, Cameron wasn't going to help Greta. Greta was on her own now.

And Miranda's only shot was her complicated relationship with her adopted daughter, Nathalie. She despised Nathalie's sharp tongue but secretly admired the soft heart she hid beneath her icy exterior.

"I'll plead with Nathalie. If I beg enough, she'll help me," she thought.

So, she wheeled herself through the night to Nathalie's house.

But the doorman wouldn't let her in, and unlike his usual respectful demeanor, he looked at her like she was nothing more than a nuisance. "You should head back where you came from. You're not welcome here."

After hours of pushing herself in her wheelchair, Miranda was exhausted and furious at being turned away. "I'm Nathalie's mother, and you dare speak to me like this? Once my daughter comes out, I'll make sure you're out of a job."
