Reborn From Oblivion

Nellie's daughter instantly won over the hearts of the Dawson family elders. Cameron, who had been distant at first, found himself growing more attached to his daughter. After the party, Cameron approached Nellie, clearly unhappy about their daughter's name. "Nina's too plain. How about we change it?"

Nellie just brushed him off. She had chosen that name, hoping it would bring her strength and resilience.

Cameron, clueless about her reasoning, dismissed her choice as unsophisticated. "Greta's come up with a chic name, Norah. What do you think?"

Nellie was instantly repulsed. "I disagree. Why should someone else name my daughter? Her parents are very much alive."

Cameron, red-faced with frustration, shot back, "You're being completely unreasonable."

He then authoritatively declared, "Norah will be her new name," and left before Nellie could argue.

That night, holding Nina close, Nellie asked, "Your aunt suggested we name you Norah. Do you like it?"

Nina, eyes teary, shook her head vehemently. "Mommy, I like Nina, not Norah."

"Why?"

"I love you, Mommy, not my mean aunt."

Nellie was taken aback. "Nina, who told you to say that?"

"She pinched and hit me when no one was looking. It really hurt."

Nina even rolled up her pant leg to show her mom the bruises Greta had left.

Seeing the dark bruises, Nellie was heartbroken and hugged her daughter tightly. "It's my fault. I should have protected you. Nina, I won't let her near you again."

Nina wiped her tears, burst into a smile, and even rolled around on the bed in glee.

Afterward, whenever Greta tried to visit the Dawson family, Nellie found excuses to keep her away.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Eventually, Greta complained to Cameron, "Cameron, does my sister not like me? Why won't she let me see Norah? I've been there for her. It hurts not to see her." Cameron was irate. "Nellie's becoming impossible."

He went home to confront Nellie. "Your pettiness is rubbing off on the child. She'll end up just as narrow-minded."

Nellie said nothing, having grown

used to ignoring Cameron's remarks. But little Nina, seeing her dad berating her mom, stood up angrily, "Dad, you can't talk to Mom like that. I don't want to see Auntie because I don't like her."

Cameron assumed Nina's opinion was all Nellie's doing. He grew more resentful. "Our child will end up ruined if she stays with you. Greta should continue raising her.

He didn't finish before Nellie stormed into the kitchen. She grabbed a kitchen knife and slammed it onto the coffee table. "Anyone who tries to take Niña away will have to deal with me."

"You're crazy," Cameron muttered, thinking Nellie was beyond reason.

Nina rushed into her mother's arms, sobbing, "Mommy, I don't want to be apart from you."

Nellie put down the knife and crouched to hug Nina. "Don't worry. No one will separate us as long as I'm here."

Cameron despaired, "You will ruin this child."
