Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 998

“What the hell was that?” Arthur asked, unsettled.

Morris shot him a sharp look. “Just remember, Ms. Stewart, this isn’t your business to meddle in. Next time you mouth off to her, it won’t end as simply as it did today.”

All eyes turned to Nathalie. She was straddling Greta, having slapped her across the face more times than anyone could count. Greta’s cheeks were so swollen she looked almost unrecognizable.

Mrs. Sharp hurried over, anxious and pleading. “Ashley, enough! Please, stop. If you hurt her too badly, you’ll face the law.”

Her words didn’t even register with Nathalie, who was still caught up in her fury. But Morris, hearing them, finally snapped back to himself.

He rolled his wheelchair over and gently caught Nathalie’s hand. She glared at him, eyes blazing, but as soon as she recognized Morris, her anger vanished.

He pulled out a handkerchief and offered it to her, his voice soft. “Look at you. You’re making a spectacle of yourself. What if you scare off your future husband?”

Nathalie let out a cold snort. “She was wishing you dead.”

Morris’s hand shook. So, his hunch was right—Nathalie knew about his illness.

He glanced at her: messy, breathless, fighting back tears. His heart twisted with worry.

He wasn’t gone yet, but even hearing Greta curse him was enough to send Nathalie over the edge. When that day finally came, how was she supposed to carry on?

The thought unsettled him deeply.

Greta, desperate, looked to the Sharp family for help. “Mrs. Sharp, call the police! You saw what she did—she’s out of control! If she doesn’t get punished, she’ll just keep going…”

Mrs. Sharp’s face was stormy. She thought Nathalie had gone way too far herself, but seeing how fiercely Morris stuck up for her, she couldn’t bring herself to intervene. So she simply stood by.

Nathalie gave Greta one last hard kick, then staggered to her feet, casting a resentful glance at Morris before walking out on her own.
