Reborn From Oblivion

Chapter 496



Cameron was left speechless when he saw the little girl. The surprise in his eyes was impossible to hide, and he sprang to his feet, exclaiming, "Is it really you?" His secretary looked on, clearly confused.

Cameron waved her off, "You can leave us for now."

Just as she was about to leave, Cameron stopped her, "Oh, and Matt, could you grab some snacks? Something healthy, please."

The secretary's eyes widened in astonishment as she glanced at Nina. Her gut feeling told her that this little girl's presence was significant.noveldrama

And for a split second, she thought she noticed a resemblance between the CEO and the little one, which made her quickly scurry out.

Inside the office, Nina waddled over to Cameron, hands tucked in her pockets, like a little penguin. She tilted her head up, her expression a charming mix of cute and sassy, "I saw you this morning." Cameron's jaw dropped slightly, "And?"

Nina, with a surprising maturity, questioned, "Why were you there?"

Cameron answered honestly, "I was looking for you."

"Why were you looking for me?" Nina's bright eyes were filled with caution.

Cameron paused, then locked eyes with Nina, "You don't like me coming to find you?"

He got up, walked around his desk, and stood in front of her.

The height difference was obvious, but Nina held her ground with a presence that matched his.

Cameron studied her for a moment, moved by the determination in her eyes. "It seems you really don't like me," he muttered softly.

Nina replied, "It's not that I don't like you."

Cameron's eyes flickered with hope, "So you do like me?"

Nina shook her head, "It's not about liking or disliking. You're just a stranger to me."

The hope in Cameron's eyes faded.

He glanced at Nina, curious, "Do you know why I came looking for you?"

A spark ignited in Nina's eyes.

Cameron pulled up a chair and sat down, trying to meet Nina at eye level.

"You know, you look a lot like my daughter," he said, his voice thick with emotion.

Nina asked, "Do you like your daughter?"

Cameron hesitated, unsure of how to reply.

He ought to, but his actions told a different story.

"How could you not like your own daughter?" he murmured, his voice subdued.

"You like her?" Nina seemed surprised "Then you must have done lots of things for her. Like my dad, who buys me clothes, exercises with me, and cooks delicious meals."

Cameron's face turned awkward. What had he truly done for his daughter?

In his recurring dreams with Timeless Cycle, he saw himself absent whenever his daughter needed him. Because whenever Greta feigned illness, he always chose her over his daughter. He abandoned his daughter time and again.

First, by skipping her school events.

Then, by never attending her birthday parties.

And finally, when Greta pretended to be sick, he heartlessly forced his daughter to donate blood.

Ultimately, leading her to the brink of death.

Cameron's eyes were red with regret; he knew he hadn't been a good father.

"I wasn't a good father before, but if I could, I'd like to make it up to her," he whispered. His hopeful gaze turned to Nina.

But Nina responded, "The you from before wasn't a good father, and in the future, your daughter might not need you anymore. Because the time she needed you has already

passed. She's learned to live without you."
