Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 1004

Four bodyguards marched out in a line. Just by looking at their solid frames, you could tell they were the real deal—trained and ready for just about anything.

Morris studied them for a moment, a trace of a smirk tugging at his lips. Jules really thought these guys could keep tabs on him? She obviously hadn’t figured out just how much a “cripple” like him could handle.

“Let’s go,” Morris said, his tone cool and calm.

He wheeled himself toward the street outside the Sharp family’s place.

“Sir, should we get the car ready?” one bodyguard offered, trying to be helpful.

“No need. I’ve already called a ride,” Morris said, brushing him off.

A taxi soon pulled up to the curb.

Morris rolled over, and the bodyguards exchanged a knowing look. Not one of them offered to help—let’s see how he manages on his own, they seemed to think.

But as Morris approached, the taxi, which looked totally ordinary from the outside, revealed a hidden trick: an automatic ramp slid out smoothly. Morris wheeled himself inside with effortless grace. The bodyguards’ faces dropped. They rushed forward, but Morris had already closed the window on them.

He cracked the window just enough to say, icily, “I’m not a fan of strangers. Get your own ride if you want to follow me.”

The bodyguards glanced at the driver, who sat stiffly at the wheel, his cap pulled low, barely moving—almost like he was made of plastic.

But when Morris said, “Let’s go,” the driver hit the gas, leaving the bodyguards coughing in the exhaust.
