Reborn From Oblivion

Nathalie's face twisted with anger, her voice full of determination. "How can I just let it go? He pushed my mom to such despair that it led to her tragic end, and he wrecked my life. Forgive him? Never."

Nathan quickly shifted gears. "Alright, then don't forgive him. Whatever you want to happen to him, I'll make sure it does."

His soothing words worked like magic, calming Nathalie's fiery emotions almost instantly. She looked at Nathan, a mix of laughter and tears in her eyes, and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. "If I ever did something crazy, would you have my back, no matter what?"

Nathan nodded with conviction.

Tears of gratitude welled up in Nathalie's eyes. "Nathan, you're amazing."noveldrama

Nathan beamed with contentment.

Suddenly, a thought hit Nathalie, catching her off guard. She ripped open Nathan's shirt. "Cameron told me you had a fight with him. He said he gave you a real beating. Let me see, are you hurt?"

Nathan was so startled that he jumped up, stumbling backward. His movement was so abrupt that he ended up sitting on the floor, utterly shocked.

Nathalie was taken aback. "Nathan, why such a big reaction? Are you... pushing me away?"

Nathan quickly shook his head. "No, no! Having you close is the best thing. It's just that I..."

He hesitated, struggling to find the right words.

Nathalie's heart sank. "You don't want me near you."

Her eyes reddened, tears threatening to spill over.

Nathan was filled with regret. "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I just..."

He trailed off, making an excuse to leave.

"I just remembered something I need to take care of. I'll come back later."

Nathalie's tears fell like raindrops.

"Nathan, don't lie to me."

Her life had been one long story of hardship, and finding someone who genuinely cared felt like a fragile

dream. She feared this ha

was just an illusion.

She was so fragile, another betrayal or goodbye would break her completely. She'd lose all faith in the world.

Lying in the hospital, her mind was a storm of dark thoughts, pessimistically wondering: Will Nathan vanish for good?

But that evening, Nathan came back.

It was as if nothing had happened. He brought her favorite warm meal, his voice

as gentle as ever. "I brought you your favorite dishes."

Nathalie glared at him, still upset.

Nathan knew he had to tackle the issue head-on. "It's not that I don't want you close. It's just.... to bec honest, my injuries are pretty bad. I didn't want you to worry."

Nathalie hugged him tightly. "I thought you were leaving me."

Nathan's voice was even more vulnerable, like a child's. "I'm more scared of losing you." His tone was so humble.

The tension melted away.

As Nathalie enjoyed the warm meal, she told Nathan, "You have to see a doctor later and get a full check-up. I'll only be okay if I know you're truly alright."

"Sure thing. Once you finish eating,

I'll find a specialist to give me a thorough check." He held Nathalie's hand. "I might not be able to be with you every moment in the next few days, so take good care of

Nathalie patted his head. "Go on, then."

Swrself."

After the meal, Nathan reluctantly left Nathalie's side.

The night was peaceful, the streets empty.

In the distance, a shadowy figure loomed, revealing its true form as it came closer.
