Reborn From Oblivion
Chapter 323

All the doctors and nurses gave Nathalie a disapproving look.

Nathalie, calm as ever, faced them and said, "Greta, even though he's my stepdad, he never took care of me for a single day, and I never spent a dime of his money. Instead, he used his power as my dad to swindle me for my kidney. He gave you a free organ. I've gone above and beyond just to visit him now."

"And you, his own daughter, whom he cherishes so much, were at home sleeping while he fell ill yesterday. You strolled into the hospital today without a care to ask about his condition. All you've done is complain about his smell. What right do you have to lecture me, you ungrateful thing?"

As if hearing something out of a fairy tale, the medical staff turned their gaze to Greta. This time, it wasn't disapproval but pure disdain.

Nathalie stood up, a smile playing on her lips, and handed Greta a stack of bills. "Greta, these are your dad's medical bills, the caregiver fees, and the VIP room charges. You better make sure they're all settled."

To prevent Greta from playing any tricks and delaying payment, Nathalie added, "Oh, by the way, I'm heading out on a business trip tomorrow, so you'll need to take care of your dad from now on." Greta, looking at the bills, felt her heart clench. "How is it so expensive?"

Nathalie replied, "Well, Dad always gave you the best, so I figured you should show him some respect now that he's sick. So I picked the best room, the top-notch caregivers, and the priciest imported meds for him." Greta was seething. If everything were imported, the medical bills would be through the roof.

Nathalie's moral high ground felt like a mountain pressing down on her, leaving her with no excuse to argue. She could only swallow her anger and accept it.

"As long as it's for Dad's good, I'll accept it," Greta said, forcing a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

After handing over Patrick's care to Greta, Nathalie walked away without a backward glance. But, as luck would have it, she stepped into the elevator and came face-to-face with the last people she wanted to see. Nathan and Ashley stood side by side, their eyes locked on her with resentment.

Nathalie paused at the elevator doors, one foot hanging mid-air, then pulled back. "I can take the next one."

Ashley, pleased with Nathalie's understanding, gave a satisfied smile.

In the next moment, the hands pried the doors open with determination. Nathan, full of resentment, stepped out.

Ashley was left to descend with the elevator.

Nathalie stared at Nathan, and suddenly, her heart was racing.

"That was dangerous!" She couldn't help but scold him.

Nathan replied, "My life isn't worth much, anyway. No one really cares whether I live or die."

His words were unexpectedly heart-wrenching.

Nathalie, feeling a pang of guilt, said softly, "Don't say that. Your granddad does care about you."
