Reborn From Oblivion

As Cameron and Benjamin got to the door, Lizzy was coming up with Greta and her mom trailing behind. Instead of walking Greta to the door herself, Lizzy veered off toward the Maple House where Nina was staying.

Greta and her mom's faces were a mess of healing scars from Nathalie's attack, leaving blotches of white, black, and purplish-red that made for a pretty unsettling sight. Yet Greta, spotting Cameron, couldn't resist turning on the charm: "Cameron, you finally came to get me?"

As she spoke, her facial muscles contorted, making her look even more bizarre.

Benjamin, unable to hold back, quipped, "Greta, maybe think about wearing a veil. We don't want you scaring folks off."

Only then did Greta realize her allure had waned. She looked at Cameron, uneasy. "Cameron, it's all Nathalie's doing. She blamed me for Nathan's death and attacked me. Please, don't hold it against me." She whimpered pitifully.

Cameron, keeping a shred of decency, replied, "I know. I'll make sure you get the best doctors. You'll be back to your old self in no time."

Greta lit up with joy.

Miranda seized the moment to push Cameron. "Cameron, Greta's done so much for you. You can't let her down. Focus on living well together and don't even think about divorce."

Cameron's face was serious, not a hint of happiness.

His silence made Greta uneasy.

Soon enough, Lizzy showed up with Nina.

Nina's eyes were red as she dashed to Cameron, collapsing into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "Daddy."

Cameron noticed Nina had come empty-handed and asked, surprised, "Where's all your stuff? Why don't you have any luggage?"

Lizzy's face was cold. "My sister said those things were bought by my mistress. She wants to keep them as keepsakes."

Cameron was livid. "Withholding a child's daily necessities? How could she be so harsh? She should at least pack a few clothes for her."noveldrama

Lizzy replied, "Everything Nina wears, carries, and plays with was bought by my mistress. She treated Nina like her own. And what did she get in return?"

Lizzy's voice caught with emotion. "My sister said that while she loves Nina, she can't ignore our mistress's feelings."

Cameron wanted to argue, but Lizzy cut him off. "My sister also said you're all talk when it comes to your daughter's future. It's time you showed your fatherly love through actions."

Cameron, feeling the weight of his shortcomings, could only agree weakly. "Nina, Daddy will get you new clothes and toys."

But Nina didn't want to leave. Her teary eyes turned to Cameron, "Daddy, why doesn't Mommy want me anymore?"

Cameron realized Nina didn't know the full story. Gently, he explained, "Nina, your mom transferred custody to Daddy. From now on, you'll be living with me."

Nina burst into tears, "No, I want Mommy." When it came to choosing between Nathan and Cameron, she picked her biological father,

Cameron. But choosing between her parents, she clearly chose her mom.

Nina was almost hysterical. If Cameron hadn't held her, she would have dashed toward Nathalie's room like a wild horse.

Meanwhile, Greta was also at her wits' end, expressing her concerns passionately. "Cameron, I have no idea how to take care of kids. Don't expect me to be a good stepmom."

Cameron shot her a sharp look. "I'll hire a nanny for her. You don't need to worry

about it. Just keep your distance."
